Me too man!!! You can't imagine how much I would like to see if all the rest of the world has the same luck to have the print than you Americans when it's a normal drop!

Just a question about that: Im not a genius in computing but i prefer to ask instead of having a cliché in my head.
More you live close to the network server (in this case, in USA for OG) more you have chance to see your connexion resisting to the assault of "the true overseas fans"? In my case, since "Theses sunsets", i can't even be connected to the website when it's a normal drop.

If the situation was reversed, though, I'd no sooner buy a promotional poster for a Sarkozy political campaign than I would throw $50 into the ocean.

What the $hit?
The Obama print released when people who actually vote in this country are sleeping?

What a joke.
I'm losing faith.

A sarkosy political poster will goes directly in my garbage or mixed with poo and throw to the face of this f"ucking b^astard!!
But i understand that's no sense to drop a print at the time when all the people concerned are sleeping.

I agree, supreme joke, so all those Europeans and Singapore peoples that support Obama were able to get a print, do they even care about the presidential race? Whomever is in charge of print releases at OG is on top of things (sarcasm). F#cking wack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhhhhh, maybe I'm just bummed and b!tchin because I missed the drop.

[BANTER] I think OG found a good way to cash a lot more of money... We can assume that the part of overseas buyers is higher than the pevious releases. Shipping and Handling fees are much higher than for domestic delivery ($32.50 for France) so they will have a lot of extra money... [end of BANTER]

BTW it was a pleasure to buy this print without any fight against server !!

I just dont get it?
Are they releasing it at that time to avoid system lockups?
Are they pulling times out of a hat?
Whats the basis? ... Globalization?

Herr_E · Post by **Herr_E** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 9:00 am

the range of the order numbers in this thread and at EB is really small. around 150.
but the edition size is 350.
Maybe they will release another bunch later ?

Buffin · Post by **Buffin** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 9:07 am

First time I have managed to get a print after months and months of trying. Has been so annoying getting them in the basket but being unable to check out. I am not sure that all the 350 were put on though?

Or maybe whomever is in charge of releases will come up with another great idea and hold those remaining Obama prints back and sell them at the Republican National Convention.

Well that sucks. I cleared up my afternoon so I would have a chance to get this one. If any of you Euros that got this would rather have one of the peace bomber prints (besides gold) or the Vote print let me know.

I hope some kind of ordering system is set up soon. eBay prices are out of my league and I'm lucky to be able to take a few hours off at random mid-day to order a poster. I can't watch the site while I sleep though, I do have to go to work. I will try to practice non-attachment. It's just a screenprint

obey908 · Post by **obey908** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 9:41 am

Maybe they will release the 'hope' version sometime later?

alfonsosoriano · Post by **alfonsosoriano** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 9:42 am

that is awesome! what a great way to cater to the "true fans" of Obey and the "true fans" of Obama! yeah! congratulations! Obama for President of France! Obama for President of England! Obama for President of Norway! yeah! oh wait, they didn't release them all? there's more? and then there's going to be another print that says HOPE? yeah!

here's a question... if all the money goes to Obama's campaign fund then why not make as many as people are willing to buy? why on earth make a limited edition? regardless, this is awesome! i was on the east coast and on the east coast people sleep at 3:42 am EST. absolutely ridiculous! Bansky for President!
