The Tokyo store is advising people to go back on Monday for the bag.
However that is not the most interesting news to come out of Ron Herman, the tweet immediately below was posted a few minutes ago.
Does this mean that the next reveal will be in Glasgow, Scotland ?
Update - The Ron Herman tweet has been posted on the hub page, this is now an official clue for Frame 11.
While we discuss have a look at the other Tweets below, firstly from Ron Herman apologising and from others replying.

I am so excited that reveal events are apparently continuing to go global. It adds such a great dimension to things and it's great that LOST fans in several countries get to participate in person.
Glasgow !!! It's quite a trek for me.
Now where did I put those train timetables ?
ENOUGH!!! This is LostArgs Mother talking!! Everybody take a time-out in the the corner and come back smiling!
Glad RH is stepping up, but now Hiroki and Tim have to make another trip to the store!
Glasgow....that's some slip
Slip or subterfuge? Mmmmhh....
I wonder if the some of future clues will be from the reveal sites themselves - like the RH tweet?...maybe adding a new twist to the hunt?
By the way I know a few Glaswegians that will freely admit that they can't be understood by other English speakers !
I'll talk to my buddy to get a feel whether or not his brother would be willing to help in this endeavor.
They just posted the tweet about the bag situation on the Hub page...nothing about Glasgow though. I guess DCAAPB never sleeps.
Afternoon. Stepped in from raking to catch up here and at THE LIST and what happens, twins are born, and Glasgow slip. Are we in hunting mode? Will DCaaPB drop a clue pronto?
Forwarded this to my Tim. I'll see if he can go back on Monday [tonight at 7pm PST, I believe].
They just posted the tweet about Glasgow on the hub.
lol maven
I love you. :) Sometimes it takes a mom's touch.
new clue :D
This is really strange for me. I have recently taken up correspondence with a person who visits Scotland regularly. The connectivity continues.
MEL
WOW
NOW this an 'official' CLUE!
Clue = Glasgow, Scotland
Could it be that we finally have a connection to a character poster reveal.... Desmond?!?
I could potentially go to this, I have three days off this week so hopefully it'll fall on one of those so I can make the long long trek up.
Glasgow! Desmond! YES!!!
(LOL@Maven! Good job Mom!)
xxoo
Also, Many, many congrats to David & Nancy!!
What a wonderful happening...little Des & Pen...LOVE it!!!
xxoo
Glasgow huh? I've always wanted to go to Scotland. :)
@martyn - How long is the trek?
An official clue !
Here we go again.
According to Google Maps, 296.2 miles which equates to 5 hours. I'll judge on the likely-hood of there being stuff given out.
If this is a Desmond poster...and I don't get it...then I WILL cry. Haha. Frame 11 begins!
@martyn - I take it your not in the states. :)
Where's your base of operations & what days do you have off?
It's about an hour less for me from home Martyn.
This is the first time the LostARGs post has been before the official clue :-)
@Zort - it's in your own backyard.... sweet!!!! Hoping that you can make it as you've earned it.
Is it possible the postees at LostARGS are havinng flash forwards?:)
My base of operation is Solihull, UK and my days off are today, tuesday and friday. Friday seems the most likely time at the moment but i'm sure I could call in sick. *Ahem*
Did they know you were that close Zort? At last!
connections to Desmond and to Ra'uf Glasgow, producer, a destination from Ajira GLA, birth place of Donovan "Atlanti" Bloop, birthplace of Charlotte Lewis (maybe),
@Martyn -You're not sounding so good. I'd definitely take it easy and get plenty of rest. It's best not to get any of your office mates ill. Sure our resident Doctor... Doc Artz could write you a note.
What do the numbers 4, 4, and 32 have to do with it though. It seems like the 4's are definitely a clue, but 32 minutes may have something to do with it too.
What do the numbers 4, 4, and 32 have to do with it though. It seems like the 4's are definitely a clue, but 32 minutes may have something to do with it too.
Now that you mention it, I do feel a man flu coming on. *cough*
@Zort...
An hour away, seems more ideal for you than it does for me.
Taking a walk in Glasgow. Walking around George Square. Lovely.
Yes. you are on to something. There's that dang 4 again
I think the 32 minutes was just the time the screen capture was made from the time of the original tweet. The 4's might mean something, but I think they are just an abbreviation to fit the entire tweet in the allocated space.
32 minutes is just how long ago something is posted on Twitter...but it's interesting that the screen cap at that exact time was taken.
Do you twitter? Just asking because there's only enough room for 140 characters per tweet, using a 4 instead of "four" isn't uncommon when tweeting.
The tweet from ronhermandotcom on my twitter account says "6 minutes ago", the original screen shot posted here on Lostargs says 23 minutes ago yet the one posted on the DCaaPB says 32 minutes ago.
Can we draw something from this other than we get our tweets at depending on when we refresh? I don't know. Was the clue edited to say 32 minutes ago, I don't know. Honestly I don't even know if this means Glasgow Scotland at of right now as there as cities named Glascow in states of the U.S.
There is an event going on in Glascow headed by Gordan Ramsay on October 30-November 1st but its by ticket only. I'm just thinking of Darlton and the writers love of Top Chef etc and if there's a connection here.
Ack, sorry I type faster than brain works these days.
Wow, in retrospect, looking at the prices of tickets to get up to Glasgow, I think i'll retreat and quietly hope thre's a reveal that takes place somewhere a little closer than Glasgow.
Could drive, but with petrol prices at the moment, whew, i'd spend the money i'd rather use on getting a new Lost poster.
It begins again… How exciting, for the first time in years I'm look forward to monday!
My tweet from ronhermandotcom now says 2 hours ago, it's very possible "whomever" waiting and posted it to DCaaPB at 32 minutes, too soon to say. Twitter runs on real time (if its running correctly which often isn't the case).
Martyn Said...An hour away, seems more ideal for you than it does for me.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, I meant it was an hour closer than you are Martyn, so still 4 hours+
I just realised from the info above that I got one of the numbers !
Glasgow, KY only one in US ?
@Zort...
Ah! Was going to say, bit of a trek if you sometimes work in Solihull.
I'm not giving up here, I will think of a way I can get up there.
Argh! Can't believe there is finally a UK based one and it is in GLASGOW!!!
I just don't think I can spend the money to get up there and time off work :(
Hope that some others can go and represent the UK contingent
Saw that LT, just exploring any possibilities right now. My first thought was Desmond as well :) didn't want to get my hopes up. I read this comment by Zort and thought i'd look in other directions.
---------------
By the way I know a few Glaswegians that will freely admit that they can't be understood by other English speakers !
Zort and Martyn: Wow, it's quite a ways from you guys. We can hope for a London one, but this might be your only chance.
Yes, before we all blow our budgets on a trip to Glasgow, it's worth saying nothing has been confirmed yet.
Tyson could be messing with our UK minds.
He better be!!!
Glasgow???
Ha - I agree! I hope that it is a massive red herring
I actually wouldn't mind the excuse to visit Scotland!
What I find interesting as well is that the clue was posted today -Sunday. Last week's first clue took so long to show up. Could mean an earlier in the week reveal this time around.
C'mon guys - wait for a closer to home reveal??.... man Id be out there on the side of the road with my thumb out already!!....
And I too have met some Scots that are speaking English but I still had no idea what they were saying!
Scottish, Geordie and Scouser...
The three british dialects that are hard to understand. Maybe Bristolian too.
@kiwilostie...
I totally agree, which is why i'm looking for solutions and hoping it's Glasgow in america or something.
Well I did some sleuthing anyway, just to see if there was anything and I did see some references to a Glasgow 4.
Glasgow Four. A name sometimes given to four artists, interrelated by blood and marriage, who often worked together in Glasgow in the period from about 1890 to 1910, developing a common Art Nouveau style in such fields as posters, metalwork, and interior decoration. The four were Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Herbert MacNair (1868–1955), and the English-born sisters Frances Macdonald (1873–1921) and Margaret Macdonald (1864–1933), who were married to MacNair and Mackintosh respectively. Their work, which was influenced by Celtic art and Symbolism, was more appreciated on the Continent than in Britain; an issue of the Viennese periodical Ver Sacrum was devoted to them in 1901. All four worked as painters as well as designers.
There is a studio in Maine that has n ongoing collection of art nouveau / art deco designs inspired by the fabulous "Glasgow Four"
http://www.labellestudios.com/charles_rennie_mackintosh.htm
Glasgow??? HAA! I see as an American, I am not alone in being bewildered by this apparent choice. If it wasn't for its Art museums,,which reminds me to say, if not the Glasgow 4 ( Chas.MacIntosh and wife And I MacDonaldson(?) and wife) there wouldn't be too much else to this city to draw tourists to....
Now you know how us Arizonies felt about ...Tucson. ( subtle warning involved)
MEL
..excellent job there babysledge..the MacDonald sisters. If it was not for them..where would Glasgow be on the list of places to visit?
hhhmm.. maybe indeed, we've broken the Time barrier,,and are now seeing plaid.
MEL
Fascinating info Babysledge!
Thanks Scoutpost for the FB info. I thought you had meant earlier that if I change my settings that I can see other people's pix. :-B
Martyn, Geordie is my favourite UK accent. Biffa Bacon etc...
If this reveal is your Glasgow, I wouldnt bet on having another UK one...
Surely they will do a reveal in "the key to the whole game" Australia?...
I agree kiwilostie, with 6 posters to go, I doubt they'll do another UK one. But why Glasgow??? Such an out of reach place, why not somewhere in the middle which is easy for most people to get to, say Birmingham? *Ahem*
I bought a poster frame today....but I haven't even bought a poster yet lol :(
Martyn, yes, why Buenos Aires too? Maybe the word was put out, and people from around the world put their hands up, ie the artists in BA, and the famous ...???... in Glasgow.
Or maybe there is a Simple Minds concert on in Glasgow that the ABC interns want to go to??... Who knows!
kiwi..i understand your sentiments. Yes,a lot of LOST took place in the Down Under. Yes a Pride is yours, but please consider the nature of what took place. Basically,,nothing good.
It was the place the LOSTIES went to..but came away from..uuummm..prepared for a coming apart,,btw of disillusionment. From Jack to Kate to Locke etc etc etc.,,all were dealt disappointment in Australia. Not that it was Australias or the peoples of Australia fault. The fault is with the Losties,,not Australia.
Please, I'm not trying to be a dinkum wowser on your parade. Before I die, I'd like very much to visit an english speaking country south of the equator. That has to do with the stars . So i mean to take no respect away from Australia or Australians. So,, as to your " key"..YES..very much the key..but is the nature of that KEY,,something to be touted about or even integrate into a print? Australia could have been any place.
MEL
There's a Glasgow in Virginia, near the Blue Ridge mountains, population one thousand. I could get there in under 2 hours, but something tells me the event won't be here...
There are also towns with the name of Glasgow in Delaware, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. I believe that those are all pretty small towns, too.
Congratulations, David and Nancy! And welcome, Desmond and Penny! Much more exciting than posters, IMHO.
Jesse T, I like your attitude.
Scotland, eh? Bring it on.
And FWIW, MEL, I've got your back. Your posts are the best.
Hurley says that Oz is "the key to the whole game" in "The Shape Of Things To Come". :-)
MEL, I was just quoting Hurley re Australia - the shape of things to come.
...backs slowly out the door, closing it silently!!!...
A new clue! Exciting
AL..Thats great to know. I will do my best to reciprocate. My fingernails are just long enough to give a good scratching.
MEL
This is going to drive me crazy. I'm with my parents on vacation celebrating my Dad's retirement. I may have to call for help from a poster buddy on this one. I was so happy I was able to help my buddy out last week. I'm crossing my fingers
If you don't see me around the reveal - I will need some help if possible. I have all 10 so far and plan on collecting the whole set!
Tom, when are you on vacation till? If the first clue was Sunday afternoon, the reveal may not be till next weekend.
kiwi!!..oh Darn!! Its my experience that Australians are all about gamesmanship!..So as soon as I saw the word " game" in your post..i took it as an invite. I was looking forward to a bit of non serious fun.
MEL
That's a good point kiwilostie, I guess people in Argentina were wondering why parque patricios was chosen. I guess Glasgow it is!
If a reveal were done near austrailia, it'd probably end up in new zealand rather than austrailia, so hope for you kiwilostie.
Martyn, I can (and do) always hope!...
I will be driving back to Salt Lake on Wednesday and will be out of touch all day. Life won't get back to normal until Thursday
I'm off to bed all. Hopefully a new clue tomorrow will say, "oops, not Glasgow, Manchester."
A boy can dream!
Goodnight everybody!!!
LOL Kiwi, @6:39pm. X-D
evening. some will sleep. some will wait. I'm watching for Hiroki to wake in Tokyo and see messages and new clue.
I see some Fall Out with Glasgow mixed with a little bagpipes.
Do we have any way to keep our cards tighter to the chest?
Another possibility--Maybe the Glasgow clue isn't about Scotland.
There is a band named Glasgow doing a concert at noon on Oct 30 in New Orleans.
--AEON
hhhmmm..Spoiled For Choice...a Glasgow gift shop...???
MEL
Capcom - ;-)
And for the record, assuming we are going with Glasgow, it is 4 hours ahead of NYC (EST) and 7 hours ahead of CA (PST).
As for what happens after the time change on Halloween, who knows? :)
Congrats to David and Nancy!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend :)
Holy WOW twin bablets called Desmond and Penny.... surely this must be the ultimate L O S T fan gesture. How did they arrange to have a boy and a girl.
This is fan-tastic!
maven it really sucks that people will have to go back to the store to get free stuff.... attica...attica... man I am tweet this to pete wentz lets hope he tweets back cause you know he got nothing else to do...
MEL tsk tsk
Spoiled Brat "who says you can't have it all" on-line shop based in Glasgow
I love it that RH Tokyo opened today with NO Hiroki-san at the door! Sould he really have to go back?
LI. HAAA!!.yes i noticed that.. it seems spoiled by choice is a rather English axiom.Perhaps a legacy from the height of the Empire days. That they took it there, is so very English I suppose. Funny!
What do you think about Buchanan shopping mall? High end stuff with again, the application of spoiled by choice.
Maybe a route thru Go Merch or Jensen or whatever can lead to Glasgow.
MEL
did the GoMerch Jensen Wentz route
Wentz there last year? for concert and appears in celeb. mag articles.
no Clandestine that I can see
no LA Glasgow connections either.
only billboard that promoted S5? or S4 as a LOST production connection
also looked at Woops which was odd spelling. TV show (US) from 1992 about survivors of nuclear disaster listed as a comedy.
Well , on the issue of Tokyo Ron Herman. it may be a stretch..but from this forward perspective..it seems he and Tim may have been a good part of forming todays frame 11 clue. Sure, it could have been different if a bunch of folks showed up. Perhaps then that bundle of Lost bags would have been distributed.
In any case, Hiroki and Tim were made an important part of todays clue,,whether by design or by after the fact covering of butt,,they at least have a very weird experience to talk about,,that few will probably ever match.
So,,yea,, no real need to go back,, or I suspect ,,a want. A bag will eventually wear out,, but the memory..Haa! ..for ever.
MEL
Please let the site reveal take place Eastern Time between 4 PM Tuesday and 6 AM Wednesday...or 5 PM Wednesday and 6 AM Thursday so I might be able to actually be home and in front of my computer for it...
I'll see what I can do.
Heheheee..that brings to mind the LUCKY Gallery at the Glasgow School of Fine Arts..
MEL
the web surrounding Jensen/1988/Glasgow/Kevin Smith/foodrap/TopChef/Gorbals is woven tightly.
Hiroki-san replies via Tweeter
got email from Watanabe-san, Store manager of Ron Herman Japan said he is ready for a Lost bag for me. preparing to go now
Hiroki-san is on his way to RH for some LOST bag action! :)
Will be at RH between 1 and 1:30 Tokyo
They better give him more than "a bag". At least let him put a few on the bay for his trouble!
Just saw that Hiroki's getting his bag. So happy for him!
Wondering if this was planned all along so that they could drop the next clue via twitter?
Hiroki on the move photo posted a rainy day in Tokyo
Congratulations to David & Nancy! Naming your twins after your favorite characters is crazy! I did it too. I have Alexandra & Penelope. They are 18 months old now & we call them Alex & Penny. When your trying to find names for 2 girls & you hear something you like you take it. They just happened to be the names of the daughters of these two guys on a TV show called LOST. THE BEST SHOW EVER!
Hiroki, in rainy traffic jam. He'll be a bit later than 1:30 p.m. (Tokyo)
I don't think the searching is necessarily pointless. If we know an event is going to go down in a certain city in a certain time frame, it allows people to re-arrange their schedules to get there if they want to be there. Yeah, maybe some of the "events" have been underwhelming, but I bet the people with the Dharma skate decks don't think so :D

Very good! Glad he got his swag.
Something was definitely lost in translation! lol
ok, he's there
Phew!! thank goodness no hari-kari is involved.
MEL
He got a bag!!!!!
HE HAS HIS BAG
seems an awful long way to go for a punch line like that.
MEL
cute photo of RH staffer
Awesome! Thanks Hiroki for all your efforts!
Happy for Hiroki.
The RH employee seems happy to give him the bag!
Yay Hiroki! Would think they'd throw in one of those wonderful Virgin Mary statuettes for all of your trouble!
Oh, look the URL BUY NOW BUY NOW

Thanks, LT! Hiroki looks soooo happy!
Hiroki reports more bags are available
know anyone in Tokyo?
LT- you scared me with your "BUY NOW BUY NOW!" :) i totally panicked.
sorry comixguru, that was more of a joke on myself
Comix - me too, I was like, what, what? what am I missing?!
sorry gang. thought it was funny. and now I'm giving people gray hairs.
LT -- I wish!!
Future greeting: "Morning Zort70" cause I'm zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
nite all. Hiroki may comment here.
but I'm a gonner.
Night LT
I sent an email to my brother letting him know Hiroki got his bag, and if he can get to the store today, and if he can get extra's, i'll hand them out.
Looks like he's most likely not gonna make it. Since it's raining, it would cost him $30 in taxi fare to get there. Usually he drives a scooter, but cause of the rain, today he's not.
Yeah -- Hiroki said it's raining and of course craptastic traffic
Night all.
Those pics Hiroki uploaded looked like empty totes - there had better been some figurines in there somewhere!... or he got ripped off... fingers crossed...
Hello from Starbucks at Sendagaya, tokyo.(next to Ron Herman Tokyo)
LostARGs folks
Pardon my English writing is poor.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your warm support for my adventure of FRAME10 of DCPB in Tokyo. Without your help I could not get any bag still. Maybe I could not come here because of last attempt at Saturday was failed. It failed twice Thursday and Saturday. I was really shocked because it was obviously indicated on the hub page of DCPB site but it failed actually. But Finally I got the bag today!! Someone in Lost fan community in U.S. was emailing to Ronharman US and figuring this out while I was away for Sunday. Ron Herman finally fixed things for a poor unknown silly Japanese LOST fan to have a bag with "i'm lost.." . WHAT A HONOR! And the miracle happened here. I learned that in our lives, If you are LOST, even here in the island of Japan, Yes I am living in an island in the pacific ocean, it turned to a place that miracle happens If I believed it. Everybody in LOSTARGS is the HERO, not me. Because you taught me to believe it what will happen next in a clue even it was failed once or twice. I experienced that this was what the show told and told and is telling it again in the final season! I would like to say thank you again for all of you for this great learning experience!
Cheers and Namaste!
Hiroki Tojo
Best post here. Ever.
Congratulations on your adventure, and thank you for your fantastic story, Hiroki!!
And with that comment from Hiroki
NEW POST
Really hope it is in Glasgow, I live there =D If it is I want to try and be a twitter feed - feel bad always getting news off other people's efforts and not helping out!
-xx-
Just got back from work, my Smokey and Mr Eko waiting for me at the front door (#268)...AWESOME!, turn on my pc and find out the next clue is for Glasgow, 25mins away from my front door....SWEET! I'm all over this one, finally a chance to give something back to you all who have kept us up to date across the pond. My twitter is LOST_4815162342
In Glagsow?
A vinery.
Yay, I did something. But did somebody say that already?
Just having a bit of a think and Isn't Desmond a Celtic fan? I'm at the end of my tether waiting for a clue!
It's a bit of a tenuous link, but the two 4's made me think of football. 4-4-2, the tried and tested formation!
New clue is up!
