There are advertising objects companies making them but I think it costs a lot to make, especially for unique items. His new technique is easier, certainly far cheaper... ROI is far superior ;-)

These kits should really be priced at about ยฃ20 and people should be encouraged to make them and stick them up all over the world. Invader made his point with these years ago. Time to move on and hand it over to his minions to take over.
Theyre a great idea, but the prices are completely insane and any buyers will keep wrapped up and in a sock drawer.
Makes it all a bit pointless.

I will be slicing mine open albeit carefully and framing. I think the fact the front of the wrapper isnt signed makes it more likely to be framed up. Maybe Invader will have signed id cards for the future.
I was worried the other year that Invader had completed his Invasion but with the space trip and underwater Invasion he is still having a lot of fun.

And then a more finished piece for display , complete with signature where its visible?.

Space Invader shop is open!, by twist65 on Sept 24, 2012 17:18:51 GMT 1, that looks great mouser!
bit gutted I missed this too, but it is a dilemma with packaged things like these and box sets.
They're no good stuck in a drawer and once you've opened it and bunged it on the wall you've pretty much destroyed any future sale value. So really the moral of the story is only buy one if it's a keeper!
Personally I would like an Invader in my life and don't really see the point of his prints (I know i'll be totally in the minority on that one) so would have been well happy with this invasion kit - ยฃ300 is just about ok but no way i'll be spending secondary market value on one..

It was an opened, unsigned kit that someone was willing to sell on at a low price, it was used accordingly.
As for DIY, its mainly the same reason that I dont just draw a load of coloured dots on a piece of paper and pretend its a hirst.... an opinion I know some would totally disagree with and others will fully understand.
I'm another who isnt too keen on the invader prints, the mosaic kits are what he does best and love them all the more for it, just wish I had actually bought one of the resin kits when they first became available.

It's a bit like going to holiday in Turkey or Thailand and buying fake goods, its just not for me and that why i want the real thing and not one i made myself.
