Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by tobomoore on Dec 11, 2010 2:59:35 GMT 1, last year, although there was security, they didnt give out numbers until later in the morning. Few queue jumpers but nothing like what it sounds like now. Was going to drive over but sadly it sounds like a waste of time

Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by oddkabob on Dec 11, 2010 3:24:12 GMT 1, Why in the world do businesses like POW with in-demand art prints announce release times? Why not just quietly put the print for sale in their store on a random day/time? It will still sell out in a day. It's begging for trouble, bad feelings, and potential harm for those waiting inline. Does POW really need the hype and publicity that badly by having a que of people outside the shop?
And did anyone else get the email newsletter from comiconart.com (a dealer of original comic book art by Ed Benes and others) offering a reward for those people on his email list who buy the print for him? I'm amazed at the schemes people will come up with to "beat the system". This one is especially notable since it comes from another art dealer. I also think that a random drop online would be better than the lottery system. Especially with this print having so many colorways, it would have been easy to drop a few here and there without crashing the system.
Request to POW: Random Drops.

last year they issued a POW stamped raffle ticket around 9pm which then got exchanged with a 'voucher' in the early hours next day. Can't understand how they're gonna cope with the queue jumpers tonight!? Good luck to all forum members

Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by colourist on Dec 11, 2010 3:37:49 GMT 1, Just thought I'd pipe up after reading about these shenanigans thats been going on over this print. Looks like it's all gone a bit wild and will kick off in the morning, when legit people in the que realize that 200 fukers have pushed in-front of them in order to make a quick killing on the bay.
Lets hope POW do have something up their sleeve. Maybe withholding COA for instance for a while to stop instant flips. Also I guess it will be easier to find a flipper as there only 25 of each print mostly.
Well fingers crossed that my 1 in 100,000 chance of winning the lottery pays off!
Anyone got any old banky's they might want to part with? not bothered about signatures as it's going on me wall anyway, as long as it's got COA, so I know it's legit. Can part-ex with a Adam Neate London Show print!

The person who got the last one joined about 15 mins later.. I counted about 200 in front of me at that point, but decided to stay in it.
Chris, its worth a shot- you're there now and the only thing u have to lose is a nights sleep...

Sounds like a maximum of 250 in the queue. If I was within am hour of there then I reckon it would be worth a pop to be honest. Even if there are more than 200 it is all going to kick off if POW don't pull a rabbit out of their hat.
