WTF... That went insanely fast! I was able to cart, but couldn't even START the checkout process...

Same. Carted it. Started the 20 min countdown timer. I then hit proceed payment and then was told my cart was empty. Thought it was cart hold but apparently not.

Same here...
even more disapinting then not carting it at all...since you get a timer counting down, I thought I had all time in the world

[Fast Eddie]

Sorry for these collectors. The single most important thing to avoid flippers is to ban bots from online sales. It is not too hard to do.

[mak600]

This system is really crap and gives hardly anyone an opportunity against those using bots. At least with the old ‘cart’ system you had a chance. I guess Avante don’t give a s**t though.

[nighthawk]

I nabbed one! Happy Days

[mak600]

Whoopi f**king da...🙄

[barzanos]

wtb... poppy love reg edt + cash to trade o just cash

[Happy Shopper]

I guess Avant just aren't used to crazy instant sellout releases, to feel the need to start defending against bots yet.
At least their site handled the traffic... which is the usual complaint/issue around here!

OR, do these fast buyers just use Dash Lane or similar systems to fill out all the forms quick?

Certainly.

[purpleandred]

looks like some folk DID manage to scoop a few on here.. looking at the comments on instagram it seems like a few more got lucky there too... so it is safe to assume that maybe, just maybe shedloads of folk actually logged on for this one, got lucky and didn't just succumb to bots..

[bigmclargehuge1]

Grabbed one, no bot necessary, just gotta be quick. Peeps aren't putting in the effort to write bots to buy on avantarte.com's unique checkout system to put it to use for one drop a year. Are there Shopify bots? Duh. Bots aren't the reason you missed this drop.

[froncz]

Yeah, agreed. I was a bit slow-ish and didn't check the terms and conditions. If you did, you could have made it easily

Actually suprised there aren’t any more. Normally see 10-15% of these releases on ebay going off other UAA hyped drops. Right now, only seeing 1 up out of 120. Not too bad at all. Seems most went into people keeping them.

Gold is released in a week or so(?)

Certainly.

I always pre login into website, paypal, and use google chrome where it fills out everything auto.

I kind of agree, when you get up into the pricing tiers they're in, it's usually not necessary. Amazing for PINS though on all levels.

[Unica]

I picked one up, one of his best best prints IMO.

[rambo901]

If anyone wants to sell theirs let me know 😂 couldn't cop one. Discretion assured

Didn’t have a chance. Guess it won’t be long for a new release and another chance.

Love Paul insects works and own a couple originals, but the last few releases are variations of a theme he seems stuck on. It seems people are getting one over by a simple technique called adding glitter.

These are nice and he's seems to be sticking to this formula. I'm sure these are printed to a great standard and look great, but was hoping for something a bit different.

this.

[Express Post]

This feels like the heights of his creative output. It's becoming repetitive and formulaic.

[Hubble Bubble]

I can’t get past the ears.

[19818914]

I agree. It’s all downhill from here. Horrible artist.

[jbelleit]

If anyone decides they don't have the wall space for this print, please let me know if you would like to off-load it at cost...

Thx in advance...

[purpleandred]

You lot should stick to buying invader tiles in different colour ways... talk about flogging a dead horse.. there's progression in a nutshell.

Oh and kaws dolls for men in different positions. Ground breaking work..

[jonathank]

I filled out my details then when I clicked pay was told sold out super upset
