«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 466 Newer› Newest»Congrats to all who scored one! At least now the wait is over. It remains to be seen who actually did, and who was oversold - a new wait begins!
@ XXXHardcore
Well damn, that feeling of euphoric bliss I was currently experiencing?
GONE.
...:(
I will trade half an egg mayo and ham sandwich for the Crash....Anyone???
I HAVE Locke's Secret, and think it's the classiest of the bunch.
UPDATE: THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO WAITED AND REFRESHED OVER AND OVER THROUGHOUT THE DAY. UNFORTUNATLEY, ONCE I GREENLIT THE SALE, IT SOLD OUT IN ABOUT 5 SECONDS. DUE TO THE PAYPAL DELAY, A TON OF OVERSELLS GOT THROUGH. I WILL DO MY BEST TO GET THE INITIAL 28 PEOPLE THEIR PRINTS ASAP AND I WILL GET REFUNDS TO THE OVERSOLD CUSTOMERS ASAP. I APPRECIATE ALL THE MESSAGES FROM THOSE TELLING ME HOW LONG THEY WAITED. BEING A FAN WHO ALSO FOLLOWS THE PRINT DROPS OF HIS FAVORITE ARTISTS, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH TIME AND EFFORT IS PUT INTO WAITING AND THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF NOT GETTING ONE OF THE PRINTS. I WILL DEFINITELY SEE IF THE POSTER CAN BE RELEASED IN SOME OTHER FORM (LIKE THE TYLER STOUT LOST REPRINT RELEASED AT THE GALLERY OPENING). THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE WHO FOLLOWED THIS PROJECT AND I'M DEEPLY SORRY THAT I COULDN'T MEET THE DEMAND.
Martyn, well held, fingers crossed for you.
ioioos, I'm coming to you for advice from now on! Except concerning appropriate break times ;-)
@ XXXHardcore
What was the time of your order?
Yikes, 28? Looks like it's gonna be a long day even for those of you with confirmations. :(
09:23:19 PST - No clue if I actually got one or not, but my time looks decent!
Cross your fingers for me :)
He only had 28 for sale...
-charter
Looks like it sold out in 5 seconds, and there were only 28 of them up for sale. Eric Tan has just updated his Blog with this update:

Well... at least there is a chance he might produce some giclee prints or litographic posters. I would be EXTREMELY happy with one of those at this point. I just want his art on my wall.
LOL...on Locke's Secret getting the shaft for the Crash...I'll trade my hatch for a secret...(had to attampt while people are feeling Vulnerable)
I think abstractlyput has lowered the asking to a more reasonable price. $1,800 from $2000
And she's had 8 offers!
Is anyone looking for a Dharma van print? I managed to get one from Methane during their lottery. Email me if you have any interest
PP Reciept shows 09:23:19 PST how about anyone else?
Yikes. IF it sold out in 5 seconds, then looking at my time...daaaayyyuuuummm.
Oh well, I can take comfort in the fact that we saw the last Kate centric, ever.
Hopefully.
Now at $1600. She must be realising that no one wants it THAT badly.
It looks like the one on ebay is going down in price
1800 is utterly absurd for this print. Seriously hope no-one buys it.
if there's a possibility for a litho version, then this ebay person is more desperate to sell ...ha
@Martyn
Its lowered to $1600 already. Do you know her then. She's sure been buying and selling a lot of lost posters.
@Capostar...
Totally agree. Wish I could get a big canvas of LS rather than the small one i made myself.
I'll trade Walt's Kidnapping and a jelly bean for Locke's Secret (liking the vulrability idea throwfar)
I will trade a jelly bean for a dollar.
Noooooo I went downstairs to make lunch and of course it got sold when I was gone. If anyone has an extra please let me know, thanks!
Those of you who have hopes for a litho version, shouldn't get your hopes up. I've never seen anything licensed like this reprinted. The only reason the Stout was is because the producers of LOST wanted them that way. I don;t think they would let Tan do a reprinted litho. A New Series of Prints would be much more likely imo.
I was going to make print Crash myself (with the help of dcaapb.com)
But I'll wait for Eric to see what he can do
@ioioos,
looking at her feedback, you bought the same flight of the conchords poster from her too. Or someone else called ioioos. I had to haggle with her the cost. She wanted $70, I wanted $30, settled at $46.
From Eric...(his caps, not mine)

Down to $1500.
then she'll get the oversell e-mail. Please god, let her get the oversell.
Eugene someone already posted that 5 min ago!
While now I am very confident I didn't get one, I am thinking that two people having 9:23:19 is a very good sign for them. The oversell wasn't the surprise... it was the 28 prints!
That listing was posted on Feb 9th...it isn't one of the sale today. Settle down!
-charter
that ebayer is only selling 1 lost poster. the rest appear to be mostly stout stuff.
Sorry for that.
yeah, it looks like she bought it before the sale
As I predicted it went on sale during 1 of the 2 times I wouldn't have acess to my computer, ie on the commute to/from school. Well I'm still 0 for 16 on the posters. Was hoping to break my record with Crash, my favorite, but somehow I knew it wasn't gonna happen. Well, guess it's no Lost posters for me. Words cannot express how depressed I am over this. :-/
I just wish he would have said I have 28 for sale...I wouldn't have even tried because it would sell out before I could type my name in!
-charter
Team Jack....so sry. :(
@Team Jack
Don't give up hope! There is always Daniel Danger's--the final one to drop!
Sorry Team Jack!
Was going to buy with you in mind but obviously, The interviewer was late so cost me even trying for it.
I hope I got it! Ive only seen one person here with an earlier time than me!
The auction abstractlyput has up started at $2500, I think and it's steadily dropped to the $1500 today. I made one of the eight offers and it was rejected.
I was out but watching Tan's site on my phone when it hit, but wasn't quick enough. So since it's the last one I need, I'll put forth a trade offer: I have Moss's Die Hard, Deer Hunter and Indy and the Last Crusade black and red prints. I'd be willing to work a trade for one of those for The Crash if anyone is interested: maxthesilent 9 at yahoodot com.
How did you get two of the black and red prints?
-charter
Anyone lower than 09:23:19 PST on their Paypal receipt?
@ Martyn
Yep it was me buying the Flight of the conchords print.
I haven't got a problem anyone selling The Crash for whatever they can get for it.
I'm just surprised to see someone like here taking a pretty high level strategy. Buying high and trying to sell even higher.
My timestamp was 9:23:08 PST
Well, this was an epic drop. I think I'll be oversold, but what a ride.
9:23:05
Good question Charter.
Team Jack. Much though I hate to say it... look on ebay and you'll find great prints from this series at an affordable price. You don't have to be 0/16.
The Tan Crash poster has had a few sales over $1,000 already. Just look back at the EBAY sales or go on Expressobeans and you can see the sale history
@ChrisL
Great point. I bought a few off of ebay for around $150 each. Seemed crazy at the time, but....
im 09:23:08 PST
People should sit tight.
I will get The Crash. But it will be the back end of this year at a much more more sensible price.
A few ppl dr.sluggo, and Jeffrey had 9:23.06 and 9:23.08 respectively. anything within 5 seconds after 23.06 MIGHT be safe. But who knows when the first transaction was made, could have been before 9:23.06.
Chrcowan, We've had way more epic drops than this!
"I WILL DEFINITELY SEE IF THE POSTER CAN BE RELEASED IN SOME OTHER FORM (LIKE THE TYLER STOUT LOST REPRINT RELEASED AT THE GALLERY OPENING)."
Ugh, man, I hope he's able to.
@teamjack I feel you. I'm in exactly the same boat. Managed to make it through the entire experience without a single print and this one, my absolute favorite, would have been so lovely to own. =[
Considering the demand, I don't see these going below $500 at least any time soon. If the popularity continues to increase, these will all be over $1,000 in a year or two most likely.
If we get another 14 episodes like this weeks show, we'll be able to pick up all the prints for double digits come the summer!
Disney will not let Eric reprint these. Anybody who wants it, EB or Ebay is the only place.
-charter
collarinim. I would say zero chance of this being $1000 in a years time. JMHO.
Yeah, the value of these is going down, rapidly. None of them are going to be worth $1000 next year. Not even half that.
If you want a litho, download one of Rev Milo's hi res images and make it yourself. Not really a big deal.
I know it's a longshot, but I'll trade my Jacob's Cabin for the Crash.
I know, I know...just thought I'd put it out there!
@Collarinim
Not a chance. Look at Locke's Secret. Already out selling The Crash, but it has halved in value in two months and it will halve again.
Once lost finishes and the dust settles, they will drop to the similar values of desirable rarer prints. And that is nothing like the prices people are talking up at the moment.
Just putting my opinion out there. I've been collecting posters and art prints for a couple years now, and I see a lot of highly desireable prints like this continue to rise, despite people saying they will drop. There are only 300 of each - less the ones that are in collections that will stay there.
collarinim2, sorry to disagree with you, but I think you're wrong.
I would be equally fine with a high quality reprint of this kind--official or not.
Especially since there aren't any reflective elements, or extremely fine print that you lose.
This is one of the reasons that I'm not so upset about this
If anyone's looking for a Lost related print, I picked up an awesome one awhile ago for only $20, and it's handfinished too!
Don't Let Them Touch
It's at Armando Chainsawhands under the Portfolio section, check it out!!
Amy Lynn- have had no lunch and would really like a jelly bean- here is my $.
I was trying to get the computer to connect and WORKING! I really like The Crash, but am desperate for Jacob's Cabin- so had dreams of a trade. But there's truly Haiti desperate and then there's just for fun desperate-so no worries.
@ioioos...
I this weeks episode wasn't too bad. But yes, I agree, double digits if the rest are like it.
The value of these posters is because of out love for LOST and anticipation of the end. Once the end comes, we'll no longer want to pay that much for it. If the end is a dud, people will buy the crash just to burn!
That'll never happen but you get my point.
I'm afraid my Crash timestamp of 09:23:25 PST might not stand... :(
Still no refunds? Or did anyone get one yet?
collarinim makes a good point- there are countless prints out there that have maintained their value for years after they should have logically peaked or plummeted. But who the hell knows really.
Also, I really liked this week's ep...
This show will have fans for years to come and there will be more and more people interested in it. I expect the demand will die down a bit, but so will the supply of available posters as they make their way into people's collections who won;t part with them. Poster and Print collector's tend to have a lot of cash available - many people are flippers and make a couple hundred off of one print just to spend it on another. Just my 2 cents.
Typical I turn my back for a few moments.
I should have known :-)
@collarim2
I hear you, but I don't think Lost will have longevity.
If you look at the value of Stouts Blade Runner, Jay Ryans early works or Danger and McCarthy's smaller runs, they still seem to peak at the few hundred dollars.
The Lost run is currently all the rage, but because of Lost fans, not art fans.
There will be another few Lockes Secrets and The Crash which may go for the $1000 mark, but they will be few and far between and come June, the prices will begin to drop off in a big way.
Already some of the prints can be had for half the artist purchasing price on ebay.
I liked the begining of this weeks episode, loved the second half.
Jack was awesome. Dogan was awesome. Sawyer was awesome. Aldo was awesome.
:-)
Zort
It kicked off the moment you went!
ioioos, I think collarim2 is just trying to rile us up. No need, just ignore.
@ioioos. You are right IMO. Cheap as chips within a year.
@Midday. Hi - How are you?
@HenryGaleWasHere. Honestly, your prints are no substitute for missing out on an Eric Tan. Sorry. JMHO.
@Zort. You should never have mentioned you were going to be away from your computer. As soon as I read that I KNEW the drop was imminent!
Look at Stout's Thing or Big Trouble in Little China - they have just increased in value and rarely come up for sale. There's no where near the level of demand to the Lost series either. I'm not trying to rile anyone up, just being realistic. If you don't like what I have to say then ignore me.
@collarinim, but have either of the Stouts achieved $1000? I think that's the point really. These prints will of course still be popular because the artists are great and so is the art but really, $1000 for a print. That won't last.
^^^WHS^^^
To be honest, even though I didn't get it, I'm just happy that this is over now.
There is still the matter of a certain Jacob's Cabin however...
The thing has 2 Sales over $1K actually.
JC is not for me.
http://www.profilesinhistory.com/items/lost-auction-preview
More stuff is up.
@collarinim. Then I stand corrected. Where can I get one?
Unfortunately they aren't that easy to come by and only come up for sale a few times in the last couple years, hence the high price tag. I'm still ISO one of the Thing's myself.
my offer got declined on ebay, but the seller said she plans on making the crash lost print an auction on ebay starting at .99 tonight. she didn't specify when though.
@collarinim. I was half kidding. I wouldn't pay it.
Jason, there are some fantastic items up there now... That's where I'll be spending my $1,000 if anywhere.
I agree chris. Are these kinda auctions an online thing as well?
Surely some of that stuff will go for cheap, right? I mean, Ana Lucia's ID card, Boone's Personal Effects? Only suckers like me would bid on that!
Correct me if i'm wrong but that wasn't the photo of Eko and Yemi, right?
http://www.profilesinhistory.com/items/lost-auction-preview/ekos-cross-necklace-and-photo-of-eko-and-yemi.html
Regarding the auctions, a few months ago i posted info about it:
Ive dealt with PIH on a semi regular basis (im a screen used prop collector). Its a live auction in California, but they also stream it on their website for online bidders. Each auction lasts about 1-2min. Absentee bids go first, then floor/internet bidders. The auction will be 2 days, and youll have to register and get pre approved for bidding first. For their regular members as a service is they assign an employee to you. When i bid Im online watching it but I have the employee on the floor while im on the phone with him doing the actual bidding.
Just to give everyone a heads up, they have already sold some of the items privately (their not even shown on the website). As for prices, they will be extremely high because they are screen used. Figure Locke's knife would normally go for in this type of auction for about $4000-$5000 but beacuse its Lost and they have crazy fans, itll prolly go for about $9000. As for the little things like passports expect them to start at $500 each.
@ChrisL - I'm great, thanks! Yourself? What's the weather liek today , that side of the pond?
@Zort - Knew you stepped away, so I immediately went into 'buy now' mode. How Pavlovian.
@collarinim - you're stating your opinion just fine, I for one am not riled up.
@Joey - could not agree more about the top notch acting in this week's ep. I'd include Kate in there too. I found both actors to be very affecting in the dock scene. They needed to play off one another for it to work that well. Same thing can be said of the scene in the premiere, hour two, between Jack and Locke in the airport- so much subtext, and so understated , so well played- it might be one of my favourite scenes in LOST ever. I'll elaborate on that later sometime.
@Martyn - hilarious that FOTC poster person was your interviewer!? Am I getting that right??
...and that Stout 'the Thing' poster is phenomenal -totally want it.
Just to add to my post:
I stand by what i put above but anything can happen, for example:
A screen used NOES Freddy HERO glove from part 6 should have gotten at least $7000 but only sold for $3500 while Matthew Broderick's HERO jacket from Ferris Bueller's Day off was predicted to sell for $8000 but ended up selling for $23000
@JFuller
Thanks for the info- that's very helpful. Do you know if there's a list available of what they've already sold with prices?
Prices on some of these prints are already starting to drop on ebay. There's a swan for buy it now at $189.99 and the last couple sold were low $170's also some hatch's are starting to mellow out in the mid-low $200's as well.
Midday. Un-riled but very very cold. Snow on and off today but nothing like the East Coast is getting thankfully.
JFuller, thanks for that auction info. I'm out at those prices.
@throwfar... I can't believe people paid money for the Swan. =/
@ChrisL - I was just using examples, anything can happen. But they all have a starting price and the lowest Ive every seen for screen used items is $100
@AteamBlog - There is an unofficial list but if it ever got out then they would be in a lot of trouble for selling stuff early. ;)
Ive spent $1,000's with PIH on props over the years and I couldnt even secure any. I think only the high end private collectors got first dibs on it. Like the guy that spent $250,000 on the prop gun from Blade Runner.
The swan is better than the 4-toed Statue! I agree though its not a favorite. I am however, starting to change my opinion of the Barrack's. It will be the next on my "buy" list as its one of the few bright prints. I'm starting to enjoy its simplicity as well!
I think the Swan Station is one of the nicer prints. Rob Jones is pretty collected as well. Most of his stuff goes for over $100 anyways.
Seeing the Swan in person, it is an amazing peice of artwork and has become one of my favorites of the entire series. It's bold, it's stunning, and I can't say enough good things about this print. Regardless of what other people want to pay for the Swan, this will always be priceless to me
I drew a Swan Station print on a napkin with Crayola crayons and sold it for $250.
Still no refunds? This is killing me.
@JFuller
That's understandable. I do remember seeing Rousseau's map previewed some time ago, and I can't find that on their website, so they must have sold that already.
@Amy Lynn: Wow nothing like bashing the artist or their style. If you dont like it thats fine, but you really shouldnt be mocking their artistic creativity
I am starting to realize as I watch the new episodes that I am in a bit of a shock mode since it is the final season. Many things are going to take some getting used to once it all is said and done. Makes me understand more what Darlton meant when they said that there will be an initial reaction and a long term reaction to how the show will end.
What makes me excited, and no I will not say any spoilers, is that when I was reading up on spoilers around when episode 9 was being filmed dark ufo took a poll from the people who have read the scripts and such and from that poll "What Kate Does" was the least favorite episode. So if this is the case, and I liked the episode as much as I did, I cannot wait for the rest! (Not that I could wait before that info haha)
Amy, it takes all kinds to fill the freeway but I'm with the Swan Lovers on this.
Did you sign and number your napkin?
@ChrisL, yup. 1/1.
And Amy, any chance for a re-print? maybe on a Bounty paper towel?
@throwfar, sorry, mate.
Darn!
Where the hell would I put Locke's wheelchair if I won it?!
Use for the computer?
Every time windows tells me I've made an illegal command I could yell "don't tell me what I can't do!"
lol@ioioos
I am sure I will get refunded, but did anyone get charged for shipping? My paypal is just for $200.
Jen, I was charged $10 for US shipping
Just got refunded. Alas...
So any Conspiracy theory-ist(s) think there gunna do a spin off or is this really it?
Dr. Bradley, what was your checkout time?
9:24:23 here . . . just got refunded. Best of luck ya'll . . .from EB
09:23:35 PST No refund yet.
@Midday...
No no, ioioos and I appear to have bought the FOTC poster off of the same person who is selling their Crash for an extortionate price because the resell had sold out. Ioioos was helping me with some advice for my interview.
@Amy Lynn..
Sorry, avid Swan Station fan. Mainly more to do with White Stripes but still love it. I thought it wouldn't sell out so fast and was guaranteed one but turns out people liked it more than I thought. It'll be going in my computer room, a nice little nod I think.
@JFuller...
Yeah, i'm out of the bidding too, unless I win the lottery tomorrow night. Maybe i'll play the numbers as it's for £113 million and hurly's was $114 million. Pretty close!
@ Ben - e-mail me @ lilakid at gmail.com, I wanted to ask you a question.
Thanks,
Sam
I think people that did not select their country got to buy it. If so, that sucks because I took the time to pick USA.
-charter
chaseter- i tried to buy it without putting in my country and it didn't let me, so i think you HAD to put in a country
ahh I wish Eric would also send confirmation emails instead of just refund emails so I know if I have mine!
You have to enter your country to checkout through BigCartel
I bought Amy Lynn's napkin... and glued it to the back of my phone. Now I can take phone calls, and clean up spills, and admire beautiful artwork... all in one handy device!
http://www.twitpic.com/zbqdw
Gotta go with the majority on this one... I really do love The Swan.
@Martyn - ah , my bad, I misunderstood re: FOTC. Well, be glad that seller was a bit more reasonable with your price on FOTC!
I'm a Swan Station fan too, btw. Amy Lynn has never hid her hatred and hostility for that print. Tempted to comment on her fav things, but I try to avoid her kind of condescension.
If you had to select a country, how did some people not pay for shipping while others did?
-charter
I've decided to part with my Dharma Van after I was able to get a few more of my higher desires. I got it during the first methane sale, so my cost was 183.50 (I can forward the receipt for proof). I'm going to start taking offers at that cost plus actual shipping ($10-$15 most likely). Email me at longshanks1123 at gmail.com if you're interested.
holy crap the comments on this exploded over the past 2 hours.
@Patmc... such a tease. My copy doesn't have the weird wavy lines on it.
I could have went with USA for shipping cause it was right there at the top, but decided to try to scroll down.
that was my error i think
@ Joey - I agree , it will take some time to process what is happening this season, both in the long term and on an episode by episode basis. Verrrry interesting about the people who've read up to episode 9 and considered "What Kate Did" the lesser episode ...It does bode well if future episodes are supposedly stronger, considering I liked it just fine!
I missed choosing my country the first time through, and it wouldn't let me pass.
I wonder if the people that got through without selecting a country did so because the inventory was already sold out, and it was anouther byproduct of the errors (like the negative quantity numbers reported at EB).
Did anyone get through without paying shipping and have an early timestamp? Or are they all later?
@Midday, do you have a link to where they ranked those episodes? I've been trying to find it again but unsuccessfully.
I think those that got through did the following; 1) jumped immediately, 2) already logged into paypal (or had their login copied and ready to be pasted), 3) selected the country w/o incident. No mystery really. (but yes, I will likely be one of the oversold because I forgot step 2)
@Tim- It was Joey, actually, who saw the poll that DarkUFO ran. I havent seen it myself.
Bodes very well! The acting was brilliant! Haven't had my re watch yet and didn't hear his name properly but the Japanese guy is quickly becoming my favourite character. Especially THE scene with Jack.
My brother just got the game "Mass Effect 2" - when you enter your character's name, you can pick the first name. However, the last name is given to you and has to be "Shepard." Guess what he picked as the first name...
John
LOL @ Chrcowan
@Martyn - Dogen! I've been trying to space my rewatch so that it happens a few day before the next ep., but I might not be able to resist watching it again tonight.
Just had this email -
FYI, this was posted on ocarzt.com today, the video was posted to youtube yesterday:
http://www.docarzt.com/lost/video-paule-scheer-quizzes-darlton-plus-a-mib-cluepuzzle/
Is smokey Johnny Cash? Of course not, but according to Carlton and Damon if you take “Johnny” and add two vowels and three consonants you get and anagram that works out to be a big hint in Man In Black’s identity. Here’s the catch: it’s in a foreign
language.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4TS2QbOZHg&feature=channel
A clue or a joke? Not likely a real arg, but I figured the folks at lostargs.com might have a chance at crackin' it if it is a clue...
We're on it!
Of course, the youtube video is blocked by ABC outside of the US. Will watch it later, thanks Zort.
Zort -excellent! Sounds like a superb time filler.
@Midday...
Dogan. Well I suppose it isn't a stereotypical Japanese name. Thanks, your ears better than mine obviously.
...ha- dont give me the credit there, I only knew his name after hearing it elsewhere (from TLC which is spoiler-free, so fair game to mention, I assume)
I can't see that vid either.
Just got a refund from Eric Tan :(
timestamp 09:24:12 PST
Looks like someone is putting their copy from today on ebay already (even though cancellation emails are still being sent out!) link
sorry: link
The name Dogen was given during the "enhanced" re-air for the second half of LA-X before the new episode. I wouldn't have caught it if I hadn't see it their before "What Kate Does"
oops.. that should be if I hadn't seeN it THERE...
Long day I guess
Only a $1000? cheaper than other auctions.
And they're from Birmingham too. The rubbish one, not the good one.
@Martyn , which is which? Um, not saying I don't know...
(or that I do)
Refunded as expected.
Oh! The seller says he's had it rolled up in the tube since the beginning of November and only took it out to look at it once....curley wurley anyone?
It's in Birmingham, Alabama...
Panic on the streets of Birmingham...
OK, so now the dust has settled...
1. Crash was my second favourite. I'm bummed, but it's not the end of the road. The Danger still hasn't dropped, which has always been my number one. So again, if anyone wants to buddy me, I'm running a school trip to manhattan all next week, so am going to need serious help if it drops then.
2. Dude that asked me to email him - I just did.
3. First night of the play went OK. I was put off at first, as the drop happened as I was ready to shut down. I never had a chance - picked a country, then the thing fell over.
For refund emails to be taking this long, there must have been a ton oversold. Still didn't get a refund email yet, so keeping my fingers crossed.
@Midday...
Good point, I don't really know either.
@futureself...
it actually says that? I can't see a curley wurley but I do detect a faint smell of burnt denim.
@Ben...
Congrats with the opening night of the show!
@ChrisL...
Sorry about the refund e-mail but you have some of the best posters so all is well!
@Jfuller
Email me at chrcowan at gmail if you get a refund notice. I'll be right after you. :(
@Martyn - I wasnt making a point! Just curious as to what you thought! Personally , I'd be happy to be anywhere in the U.K., as i've never had the chance to visit. YET.
Martyn. Absolutely. I am more than happy with what I have. I was after The Crash for someone else so I'm sad I couldn't help them out but it was always going to be a long shot...
don't worry, ChrisL, I shan't take it to heart.
Midday, you make sure you tell us when you do. We'll show you around ;-)
lol, Midday, if you do visit the UK, Birmingham is a one day thing. Maybe i've lived here to long or maybe where I work is where all the crazies catch their bus but i'm not a fan of Birmingham. It's almost as dull as everyone thinks it is.
But i'm not from Birmingham, so I can say that :D
@ChrisL...
Sorry, brain not functioning. I remember what you said yes, that's an even bigger downer now.
ChrisL, fanatstic! I'll practice butchering the accent starting now! (note: I actually think it's quite good. My girlfriend laughs -I mean says- otherwise).
ALY ET ALGIRLFRIENDUS VIDENT?
(i need sleep...)
I hear you Martyn - I'd prioritize other places. But I'm sure the crazies at the Birmingham bus stop are world class next to the ones I've seen here in Canada or the U.S.!
true! My friend told me about a website called, peopleofwalmart.com and those are probably a little crazier than the people we get.
I'll give you a tour of birmingham. There's the bullring. There you go, fun tour, right?
birmingham is a dump. End of. And on that cheery note, goodnight!
@ChrisL - WHat was the time on your PayPal receipt? Thanks.
lol..and such a fine building it was...
I've seen the peopleofwalmart site...scary. Fortunately Ive haven't seen that kind of thing first hand (too often...)
When I was in Florida, we saw a car that was literally covered in shells and jesus stickers. It was shocking! I couldn't even tell you the colour of the car, it was that covered. Will try and find a photo of it, has to be seen to be believed.
Ben's hit it on the head, it is a dump. Visit Solihull, just outside of it. A hell of a lot more happier and beautiful to look at.
I've only been to Birmingham once, to film at the bullring. It was a beautiful sunny sfternoon but somehow it still seemed very grey...
Martyn...your Florida Jesus-shell car sounds amazing! I'd love to see a photo of that! It surely must be a tourist attraction in it's own right :D
@futureself...
Yes, that is Birmingham. I can now see why my mom would never let me go there as a kid with my friends. And the bullring sticks out like a sore thumb with the rest of the city. The new coach station sticks out too. You can't put futuristic looking buildings in between derelict, falling apart brown brick buildings!
Searching for the photo now, it was in the holiday of 4000 photos so give me a sec.
Gah! Can't find it! Will have a better look tomorrow. I'm going to bed on Lottery Ticket's orders, goodnight folks!
Just as a note, since I saw it brought up here earlier:
I am still looking for Locke's Secret, if anyone is willing to talk to me about it. I'm just not willing to pay the rates Ebay has been having (although they are dropping each time.)
Ha ha, catching up here. ARGers are so entertaining (in a good way)!
Nighty night Martyn!
Just getting home to check, and somehow I made the 1st 108 grads at LOST U. Seriously not expected, so while I really need to sleep, I might just have a cup of coffee and see what happens at 12AM PT.
@Ob.... you might want to check at midnight EST and then get some sleep.
Thanks Amy Lynn, but I was on call, so once I go to sleep am afraid that may be it!
Still no refund email, but no confirmation either. Anyone hear anything yet?
