No luck here. Got as far as waiting to check out. Congratulations to those that scored one.

Tbh ebay is just as good a bet, by the time import fees and shipping are added.. eBay is pretty much cost price for us

[bbblake]

The old Chums were hollow plastic. Most probably similar.

I forgot and didnt go for one but I was hoping they would step up the quality, the old chums are ridiculously cheap

They showed as "Vinyl" in store, so hopefully they have some weight and are better quality that the original plastic versions.

How on earth did you manage that? I thought I was quick trying to get just one?

[Inknart]

Only 2 Black on Ebay. Does that seem unusual for an OE KAWS Drop that sells out? I figured 50+ Right out the gates.

I managed to get one despite getting the traffic lights wrong the first time so I guess it was possible

Well spotted, and thanks for the chuckle.

Good thing I wasn't trying for one, I thought these weren't going up for another hour?!

Quite a lot of black ones have been sold through StockX already. Not many of the other colours though.

[kapusta]

Grabbed a black, white, and orange. Really interested to see the quality in person. The price on these surprised me – hope they don't feel cheap.

[coller]

i'm inclined to say that picture of the white version in here is real, if you want a sense of quality. i don't know how someone could put a fake of this together so quickly so my guess is that's a real one.

Probably more like, buy 2... keep one and flip the other so you get one for free. Black and white seemed ro be the popular two from reading groups pre sale.

[jhavisen]

I actually don't think, these are an open edition. It does not say that anywhere.

How much were they?

$308 USD Shipped within US for me. 

[horizon77]

any guess on how many were sold per colorway, even if it was "open" ?

[ChiJtb12]

Regarding the OE or Non OE convo's.... I also find it VERY odd that "Open Edition" inst mentioned anywhere or on any communications sent out or on any FB, Insta posts.. Nobody really knows and I have seen a lot of people asking..

What are the odds that Brian got wicked creative, purposely didn't mention if they were or not.

And given this Chum is an iconic character of his..What if he actually made them an edition of 500 or whatever, Didnt announce it, just to fuck with and screw all the Insta - flippers out there who sold theirs before they even got their hands on it... Or the people not interested in trying for it, bc they just assumed it was an OE.. So that the true fans that bought on the release or through Ebay, StockX, etc.. Actually get a new editioned of XXX Chum.... Instantly and dramatically increasing the value.... Now that would be some next level shit!

Given I snagged a black one, holy shit I hope that actually happens! LOL

[coller]

yea, there is no evidence that this is an open edition.


sharing order numbers is one way to guesstimate how many were sold/edition size, if people want to try that. sharing your exact order number is a terrible idea, but removing the last 2-3 digits should give people a vague sense of how many orders were placed.

I doubt this, but would be cool. He also usually pumps up all the friends/fam he sends the OE's out to before the release. I'm surprised he didn't gift any of these to celebs ect to repost.

fakes of the Gone figure were leaked a week before the real figure came out... these are all manufactured where the bootleggers live.

that's insane but makes sense.

KWS59xx

If this is not an open edition, what will that then do to the value? Not really into Kaws releases

[ChiJtb12]

It "should" dramatically increase the resale value instantly. It becomes a numbered, limited edition, that wont be recreated or re-made and distributed again.

Having the OE tag, technically gives him the right to release the same figure over and over forever. Even though that hasnt happened much from what I have seen, other than the BFF re - release kind of recently... Technically he still "could" when the wallet gets a little light... haha.

[coller]

I have seen order numbers ranging from KWS59XXX to KWS67XXX.

So at least ~8,000 orders were placed imo. There were 5 colorways. My guesstimate is 2,000 per colorway at a minimum.
