Micallef release in uk, by a4mnt on Sept 7, 2007 12:53:29 GMT 1, if its anything like the last Laz Mic release then they email you the availability and you email back and register to buy. They don't have a buying system online do they? This could take ages though 
Is it likely that people will be queuing and buying at the gallery? I hadn't even contemplated that scenario.....

Micallef release in uk, by dave313perry on Sept 7, 2007 12:56:49 GMT 1, There is not much official word on micallef releases as far as i know - although im sure they are keeping a crafty eye on the fact that there ar Mics out there selling for 8-9k. hope this doesnt have an effect on the release price, roumer is they will be pretty steep anyway - $2k was it??? cant remember for sure

they are usually offered to the big boys then standard buying from Laz is to phone or email..
..unless you get past those two security blokes on the door..
..but I don't fancy your chances

Don't you have to decide whether you actually like the print first or does that not matter any more?

Micallef release in uk, by Michael Jacob on Sept 7, 2007 13:36:41 GMT 1, Good point Pezlow. Heres a creative idea for AM or Banksy... but more suitable for Banksys style. Sell your next print run sight unseen. Can you image the publicity it would generate? Just imagine waiting to get your tube from POW not even knowing what it would be. Wouldnt Morons have been a great one to do it with?
ps. If Banksy is reading this and like the idea, please send me a print for my concept! Thanks so much!

Lol. In a way that is a bit what happened with Flag. Half the people in the queue didn't know what image they were queueing for.

Micallef release in uk, by a4mnt on Sept 7, 2007 13:53:16 GMT 1, We all need to see what the prints are, agreed, but you'd imagine that AM/Laz's quality control means they'll be damn good. But agreed, you do have to like them personally unless you have other reasons for buying them.
Of all the previous eyestorm/POW mic releases, I can't say there is one that I wouldn't put on the wall, so I'm hopeful that the new batch are a logical progression from there.
If Peacekeeper is one of them, then it looks pretty good.
By the way Stuey, shhhhhhh. We want them cheaper than a grand!!

Micallef release in uk, by carlito on Sept 7, 2007 13:57:17 GMT 1, I think Peacekeeper is a pretty old AM image so quite sure that won't be one the new prints...(watch how I'm proved wrong..)

But if i mod my previous post and delete peacekeeper, then everyone will wonder why you brought it up Carlo, (evil laughter).

Micallef release in uk, by peggysue on Sept 7, 2007 14:52:30 GMT 1, I will definitely be trying to get one in LA.
$2K for an edition of 400 makes the Eyestorm prints of 95 look a lot more appealing. And the Laz prints of 50...sacred.

I saw the Flag print on this forum (or at least the original image it was based on) before heading to London, but there was a print sellotaped to the window, so everyone should have seen that before parting with their money.

true but I think youll find anyone who joined the queue from the wrong end of Oxford st would still have joined the queue anyway without knowing which Banksy they were getting . Although they would have thought it was one of the LA prints, until as you say they got to the ghetto

Micallef release in uk, by dealersam on Sept 7, 2007 16:00:10 GMT 1, 1-2 weeks guys give it 1-2 weeks.
LazInc will send us an email stating "all the information to buy". they're being very coy, i probed and they seemed shakey when i asked them if the day the email goes out is the day of the print release.
