Got one. The only appropriate word to describe aquiring this surf print would be "stoked".

something seems funky about the Jordan prints. Keep seeing people saying sold out then available here and then there. Maybe the flippers just can't keep up if prints aren't released directly on OG

congrats to everyone who got one (including me :mrgreen: ) today is a good day.
it seems to me that to call an achieved work 'good art' and an unachieved work 'bad art,' is like calling one color 'good red' and another 'bad red' when the second one is green.

Finally.... my first Obey score during a legit drop... and it's going up in the new home office, so it's deductible :lol:

Curious about one thing... I'm thinking as they've held quite a bit back from the edition for the Auction, etc. that there won't be any refunds issued from the sale today and we're all f**king set! Or, am I being an optimist? :roll:

I wanna ask anyone on the fence about keeping this print, if you choose not to keep it, I'd be super stoked to have one. I am Hawaiian, a waterman and need this in my life! :cry:

is that long for nowadays? ive seen them sell out faster...then again, i remember them taking 6 months to sell out certain prints back in the day. usually its the durn servers that hold everything up (and probably still do). havent gotten a print on the OG website in sooooooo long

We've gone over this seriously over 200 times, I'd say. IF YOU GOT THE PAYPAL RECEIPT YOU ARE MOST LIKELY GOLDEN. UNLESS YOU GOT A REFUND, YOU ARE GOLDEN.

we are so used to server freeze ups that typical releases can take 10-20 minutes to sell out.... so when it sells out in less then that without any server issues then a WOW is warranted :)

heII, i remember the days of the instant sell out when the paypal button would just appear one spilt second and gone the next.... and even if you were able to buy one you had to wait a week to see if you were refunded.

QFT. Makes me think that there's no way OG sold 450 during that time. Too much history to the contrary.

Thats because they didn't sell 450. They are holding some back for the fundraiser......

Is anybody going to the fundraiser and wants to pick one up for me? I would, but I'll be on the east coast that weekend (I spend half of my month on the east coast, the other half in san diego).

I'll definitely throw some extra coin your way if you can get me one.

It would be nice if Obey put a small allotment of each new release on their website for $150 with the difference going to a charity each time.

yeah, i remember sitting around F5'ing all day waiting for prints...i kick myself when i think back of all the prints i didnt buy (or have the money to buy back in college). back when no one really knew Shepard mainstream-wise, prints would literally sit there for months on the site. i still have like 5 Stay Up Chakas somewhere...

EDIT: wow! someone, somewhere paid $280 for Stay Up Chaka? amazing...
