What the chuffing buff is a bff ? Best friend forever. at what point did this place turn into a bluddy toy forum
Even tho this thread isn't for me, and I just asked a question because I didn't know...........you answered that, thanks.......although I do find it a tad bizarre that in your last two posts you find it exceptable to troll and negatively push for a debate regarding vinyl toys, do you have nothing better to do FR.......
No different to chasing a stik every time someone wags one in your face..........

More $$$$ in those edit: sarcasm From what ive heard, that comment applies more to you edit: (tumbleweed) You must have me confused with somebody else. I've owned and sold 1 STIK Liberty for $900 and you can count on 1 hand how many sales I've made over the last 3 years.

Kaws @ the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth, by Unica on Oct 21, 2016 0:05:08 GMT 1, I made an attempt to purchase a couple of companions online but was declined. I own a few of the 2006 versions, I can't say this release was great for me although i'm happy that other KAWS fans will have a chance to own an original KAWS piece. They are great fun to have around the house and one oddly becomes attached to the little chaps.
Were any forum members successful in buying them online? Or in person, I'd love to seem some photos of the pieces and the packaging if so.
The show looks amazing and i'm going to make an effort to see it before it closes.

Kaws @ the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth, by lucky7 on Oct 21, 2016 2:11:10 GMT 1, Sorry for being an ahole but I deal with that kind of stuff sometimes and it's extremely expensive to run your store on a top of the line hosting plan like that - they're a webstore that probably generates less than 50k (that's being generous) a year in revenue online. Expecting them to be able to deal with this kind of mania isn't rational. PM Kaws and tell him to sell them on kawsone which can handle it. Or just be patient.
You started trying to apologize but so doing made you think of your store and the more you progressed, the more you were triggered, the more frenzied and in the end you just swayed back into a sarcastic rant; no apologies.

Kaws @ the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth, by Unica on Oct 21, 2016 3:15:46 GMT 1, It was a little crazy there this morning. Here's a quick pic i snapped of mine. I went in person very very early around 6. Was one of the first 50 in line and they still sold out of both Black toys and the Brown Companion (Non-Flayed). Will post more pics when I'm back home this weekend. If anyone has either black toy or the brown and wants to trade, PM ME please!! Thanks for posting and well done, now lets get those little guys out the box so we can have a look at them please

Hmm, I see that now. Looks like they've shut everything down and added that message since I posted.

Checked on Instagram but it's people flipping an ultra limited open edition or people thanking Kaws for taking their money.

Me thinks these not going to be sold out. Medicom will be releasing these too soon but I'm not sure if they ship overseas. I bought from medicom sync online before though. www.medicomtoy.tv/blog/?p=33805
