archeological objects from the 18th century, that's antique not archeological.

and apparently he thinks the actual existing sculptures on Easter Island are fictional.

I keep starting a comment, then going back to something else, then find myself drawn back to the comments like a moth to the light. And what could one say? “Preposterous” popped into my head without warning, and being a word I haven’t used much I double checked the definition. Yup, that’s the word!

I'm going to get one and hang it on the end of my wall mounted coat rack.

I am going to get one and wear it.

Just saw this. I'm on the fence about this one not knowing how it looks and feels in person. Also not sure how to display it but I guess we'll have to see how it is priced. 

Knowing it's by Arsham, I suspect this will be very expensive.
I also can't make up my mind about this.  Is it a stunning and innovative new series?  Or is it just crap?

Shall we start a new trend? Since we are not allowed anymore to open packaging...

From the picture this looks really nice, it’s also the first relic to really interest me. I am looking forward to finding out more about this one

Has anyone managed to get their sand 'unstuck' from the middle? Any tips?

Followed the tip above and days after sand is still stuck on sides and middle.... not sure what to try next. Would have thought they d figure out this problem with the 2nd release but it’s like they didn’t bother? Any more tips?

Likewise, I'd be interested to hear any suggestions having waited months for my 2nd white sand version to arrive following the whole crap-pack  & shipping palaver. Quite disappointing to then finally get it and see that it's really not the so-called scientific timekeeping device with a 30 minute run time. I have to shake it every minute to get the sand flowing again!

Just went on sale but at $1,200 I'm going to pass on this one!

[Poster Bob]

OK, I can't believe this sold out at $1,200.

[lv90210]

wrong price.

[kuni]

I can think of 1200 things I'd rather spend $1200 on.

[NYart]

Anyone actually buy it lol? Bet he sold a couple dozen and had to pull stock to claim a sell out

[Poster Bob]

Honestly, I think it was "sneaker heads" who didn't set a max price in their bot. I cannot see a profit from this.

[FЯ]

Lol those people on ebay, still some there for £700

they thought it would be $500

Each one is losing at least £250

They are going to go pretty fast

[coller]

might as well be a dunce cap

[FЯ]

green is sold price
others on there beneath this one are the dunces

bingo

I good portion of the sales sold for that exact reason. just prior to the release, I went on eBay and searched for this item. there were at least 3 listings for this relic, all listed around $900. at least one of those listings had multiple items and already had one sale at $900. the second the item listed on Arsham's site for $1200, the other relic from the multiple listing went up to over $2k and the other two listings sold immediately at $900 - which will obviously never be fulfilled.

I always find it funny watching sneaker head flippers trying to flip in a market they no nothing about. the fact that they thought the flip price of $900 would have made them a profit is hilarious. They clearly don't know Arsham.

I have a feeling his market is going to crash, hard. There is no way gimmicky stuff with zero artistic value like this is sustainable. He should do a Supreme collaboration for his fan base.

[mrmrmr]

two sold for 1800 and 1900 on the bay

Probably right. Maybe his marketing is being directed towards that group, which may mean his prices continue to go up in the Supreme/Sneaker World. Also probably means his work will be more of a "trend" that will eventually balloon and fall.
