How many of them existed and will the profits from THOSE prints go towards the charity?
How does one become a V.I.P. anyways? Thought Banksy was against all that sxxt?!

There will never be a shop release again after this. Pretty much a given.

The crowds sort of forced the release, really - by just showing up in massive numbers.....as long as POW has storefront(s) and they disclose that a Banksy print will be released in the future....nothing will stop folks from crowding outside....

There are other ways - they just need to sit down and think, plan & prepare.
I really hope freerange is correct and they don't do a shop release ever again.

Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by Zippy on Dec 11, 2010 17:06:40 GMT 1, I feel sorry for those that queue's up and were subject to the pushing and violence. But... are you really suprised? Personally i chose not to go as it was not officially anounced as being released last night and it was pure speculation. I believe the hype of the forum and the desire to make a few quid led to the issues raised on the previous 100 pages. I am suprised to hear there was a VIP party/release but it was probably not necessary to post the details and images on a public forum as this nly added fuel to the fire.
Whatever people think of POW they will be upset and WOULD NEVER want this to happen. Someone posted Simon from POW was upset and sad about this. Of course he would be! They are human beings and a business trying to get the release out in a fair way. Whatever way they chose to release it would not have been 'approved' by the syndicate on here. I believe they have thought about how to release it and after the sucess of NBG last year they felt a Q and an on-line release would appease most people. Good for them for trying to be fair. They would have had no idea that the Q jumpers and physical violence would be part of this so should not be accused of fuelling this.
Well done to those who perservered. Enjoy your print and the memories. The rest of us, good luck in the lottery!

Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by Brushstrokes 75 on Dec 11, 2010 17:08:09 GMT 1, The perfect answer is stop releasing any prints (as someone said earlier). It's not my opinion...
The guy just keep pulling stunts and painting the walls. He should have enough money by now. Or just privately selling some art..
By the way, it's not all because of the edition size and markings (ie signed/unsigned).
The price will be reflected by the appreciation of the image (or the work put into it) and when the print was done.
An example, I own this Picasso Print Ed of 50 Value : around ยฃ2.2 - ยฃ2.4K IMO
This print (OK bigger size) Ed of 55 Value ยฃ1.1 miliion.....

well the only way they fucked up was by not giving tickets out early on. last year was very civilized and everyone had a great time. silly not to give out tickets really, what else do you expect?
let alone letting people queue at berwick street for hours.

Also his racist comments earlier in this thread (which I think have now been deleted), what should go unaccounted for - and perhaps this is his karma. While i sort of think that Grafik is a bit unfortunate what with the queue jumping and violence (are you still cheering on the violent students Grafik?), what about the rest of us who dont live in London. What chance did we have of joining in and trying to get a print in person. None. The whole thing should be done by lottery, giving everyone the same chance. Well done to those who got one by the way

last year there was security, there were members of POW and there were tickets so everyone know what was going on, Simon sorted it out so it was 2 wide nice and space all the way down commercial road. It was friendly, calm and a fun evening.
This year there was none of that, so if they were planning on the same as last year, they hadn't planned it for last night, and were unprepared. I have no doubt that they were planning on giving tickets etc, however it wasnt meant to go down last night i reckon.

They work for POW and as far as I know aren't shareholders. It's pretty unreasonable to put too much blame on them seems unfair, yes it was a cock up, but does anyone really think the owners of POW or any of their employees expected quite the level of problems seen last night? It worked reasonably well last year, I'm sure lessons have been learnt from last night and a different approach will be taken next time.
