Shepard Fairey X Neil Young = Americana

[bdavenport]

I went ahead an got it. i don't know how these are going to be released and everyone is going to be going for the same ones. There is only 250 left and they are good prints. I just would rather have got it out of the way by getting the set then going through the headache of trying one by one. Good luck to those that didn't get the ones they wanted yet.

+1

I think it will be a blood fest for some of these

Going and Gone are going to be really hard to get.

Looks like they will be $55.

that's a nice price!

the lonesomes will be tough to get i bet

I wonder if the individual prints will account for the next 12 weeks of releases, or if there will be some unrelated stuff sprinkled in there as well. I'm also curious about the release order - if God Save the Queen is first, will they release in reverse order of the album tracklist, or something more random?

[hexterb]

I'm not worried as much about what order they will be released in as much as WHERE on the OG site they will actually be located. The God Save the Land of Liberty is the only one that I am really, really interested in. The colors look amazing.

Great price.. It's surprise me that it's less than the $70.

Do you think Obey will refund if people that got the box set starts to buy single prints ??
I don't need two on my wall, but it would be great presents or one could be working as posterboddy for people.

This just goes to show that these appeal to a wide audience as this isn't really one I have mentioned under the "gotta have" category. I agree though, it looks amazing. While all the prints don't do it for me, all seem to be really high quality and pop nicely. That was my thinking on the box set.

[cincysig]

Have any of you done the math on this specific set? I just did and it is impressive.

200 people (including me) bought box sets at $850 each. That comes to $170,000.

There are another 250 of the 12 prints in the set. That's 3000 more prints at (let's say) $55 each. That comes to another $165,000.

This brings the total to $335,000 in gross prints sales for this set. Woof. That's good business.

I wanted the "God Save the Queen" print until I saw the hands.

[red.lotus]

Got 4 prints in the post today, really really great in person, printing seems a lot thicker and more textured (in a good way) and all the small detail is amazing. Worth noting 'Going' 'And Gone' both have slightly thicker vertical borders than the horizontal ones, look brilliant together but might throw them off next to 'normal' prints. Just taken lonesome (with the black tree) to the framers, definitely my favourite.

Couple of closeups in case anyone's interested:

Why would they? They advertised that there was 450 of each and 200 box sets... not like the other 250 prints are just going to go poof, logical thinking would get to the result that he is going to sell them individually, and he is.

[Ilja]

Yeah, I know that, thanks =)
But more because they have a One Per Person/Household Policy, and maybe they didn't want both a boxset + additional single prints go to the same person

Ah, I see your point now, nah I think they count the Box Set as 1 item and each print afterwards as 1 item. So, if you can get through the flippers and get more singles, have at it

[bdavenport]

just got shipping for the box set

[ManUnited]

Finally got shipping info yesterday

[jjttdw]

Finally got shipping info yesterday

Me too.

[oldfartatplay]

Anyone besides me NOT get shipping info yet

[mllk]

Actually received mine yesterday. A little disappointed, corners of prints were damaged (pics below)
What do you guys think I should do?

[bdavenport]

Contact Obey

i'm going to take a wild guess and say that 9 out of 10 mailed boxed sets will look like that. i mean, i picked mine up and the process had already started! that looks like the work of simply moving the box around a bunch.


i'm kind of surprised they didn't do any extra packing on the inside of the box - i think a sleeve would have likely done the trick.

Mine too! I'd be surprised if anyone who ordered this set online receives a shipped set without damaged corners. The inside dimensions of the box is almost too tight. Not sure how accommodating they will be if everyone's sets are damaged.

for the cost that these box sets were it would be a shame if 9 out of 10 looked like that.
