the shipping on the mini prints is laughable.

[stuckeyc]

Didn't even show up till 1202 on my end. Oh well didn't need it anyways

[niss]

Graffiti Prints ... are the unlimited pez prints open edition or is it a timed edition and will be unavailable at some point?

On instagram there was a reply by GP stating that they don't know for how long the mini-prints will be available. Pez will decide when they need to take them down.

Ha ha, had one in my cart, went to check out and it was gone...seriously quick - not sure how anyone could’ve been quicker 🤖

Same here.

@graffiti Prints ... I kept refreshing on the 2 Variants.... They never changed over, they stayed "Coming Soon," but if you then opened up a new window they showed Sold Out, availability went from Coming Soon apparently to sold out? Every single copy Pre-Sold? 

Can you do everyone a favor and just be transparent about pre-sales like Avante. I would be more inclined not to cancel a meeting and waste time and money to try for something never available. 

Screenshot from the original page I opened, that still shows "Coming Soon," but if you open up new release section goes to "Sold Out" 

Is your system not able to refresh on the item page? Do you have to refresh the new release section and not the specific item page?

Got one of the danger mini prints! Super excited!

Unfortunately, struck out on the main prints...

[tranito]

All were available. Just gone in secs.

[Newar]

Can't buy anything fast without my fiber Hiroshima will do the job for this time and be my first PEZ

I'm usually quick enough, but the pay button didn't work for me, never experienced that before, strange it was on the general release too. Did anyone in the uk get one?

[mrizzle]

I struck out on the main edition but going to pick up Hiroshima and Danger mini prints. I actually think they are two of his best pieces and was hoping he might release them at some stage. I’m not so in love with View Point and just need to decide if I’ll kick myself for not picking up the whole set.

[Matt 2 ttaM]

Got the 3 mini prints, shipping is brutal, 60£? Yikes. Might not be an issue but everything sold out quick, so how come there is nothing to buffer bots ? I never understood why with print drops its always such a free for all. I mean *insert joke* Banksy’s captcha system seems pretty good, to verify you’re a human travel to Palestine, prove you need sleep and then voila, access to a print or painted wall section.

Don’t they change the page at the last minute to foil bots or something

Same set.  As always good sir! 

[Geezer Mate]

I actually prefer the three smaller ones very nice

[Icesay]

2 pages of kicking off about vat... no-one really showing love for the image, smacks of people losing out on a flip. Personally can't get over the weird hand on the right of the image.

Man, considering how hard it is to draw hands, I think they actually look pretty good, haha.

I got also all 3 mini prints. Was surprised about shipping cost 60£ for all so at the end decided to order each print separately with shipment in mini tube for 15£ each. Not much but at least saved something for beer

[veebo]

On Instagram they said they are cancelling all the bot orders. Advising people to email them and they will allocate over the weekend.

[soupy]

Inknart ... wasn't GP. check out their IG. they refunded something like £28K for bot orders. i think bots were eating up inventory before the pages went live. not sure if anyone successfully made a purchase. i didn't even see the ATC button. a few friends tried and got as far as adding to cart, but that's about it.

GP is probably better off taking down the listings and re-upping new product listings at drop similar to what they did with MW stag. at least that one seemed like ya had a shot.

Keep giving preales to Same people over and over make people get desperate and take chances using bots.

I think the lotteries were better

lol @ thinking presales have any reason for what happened.  the bots weren't an act of desperation.  its a buncha sneakerheads that are catching wind of drops.  feel free to peruse "grapeape34" IG account.  and lotteries are a joke.  they are the worst.  just makes you think you have a fair shot when ya get less than 0% of chance.

from grapeape34 on GP's IG post: "Lmao at you acting like you know anything about botting or how to even work your own website. You load the stock that makes it where it can be bought at any time before the release once the page is created. I DM’d you and told and showed you it to try and help. Then you wait til a minute past release time to make it live on the front end to try and catch someone using the variant"

[Feels Good Man 84]

How would you fix it then?

[Fluffy Pillow]

Always print.. Please and thank you.

there are a number of things that can help.... bots & their programmers hate uncertainty.  keep them guessing.  GP has done them in the past.  taking down listings, reupping new ones, no name/pic identifiers, create unique required actions for cart/checkout (not captchas) etc.  you need to be creative and unpredictable.  if you have a reputation to make it difficult on drops, they are less likely to use them.

[gavatron]

its much easier to destroy than to create here, I can't see anything being able to be done from an IT sense to prevent bots>manual. It's a problem no-one has been able to devise a fix for yet. The future is likely going to be retail items going directly to platforms like StockX

Just going to have to suck it up

The last whatson drop seemed to work well, many fans won without a bot.
