I guess it is time for a US only release

I doubt it. Oh wait, we did get a US only release...Pet Shop Business Cards (Those were really awesome ).

It would have made sense to do the NOLA as the US only release. But instead they practically made it a UK only on when they re-released prints Friday morning at like 4am east coast time. Can you say Bull$h.t?

And before anyone says it...I know...I know...I'm being a whiny biatch. But I need to vent my frustration.

That's good news.....I'm hoping they realise they've emailed the same people with three or four prints.....maybe hope for the unlucky ones yet!

[neale]

Bugger, missed out again, still ,cheered myself up by bagging the last Cept Flywonder from stella, thats £200 saved on the Banksy- there is a credit crunch on !!!!

[neale]

Yes. I bagged a 'Bethlehem'. Completely over the moon!

[rdl81]

adamk...how much was it?

[Deleted]

£500. Obviously pretty steep, but I guess that's what credit cards are for... (Gulp)

[rdl81]

...that is a lot of wedge....hmmmm.....

[sahoria]

gutted didnt get email but congrats to everyone that managed to get.... im starting to think now slim chance of getting so atleast the money i was going to spend on the micallef which i wanted i might just as well go holiday somewhere or buy that someone special a great gift...lol! keep your chins up there are many many more years ahead to try getting one i hope!...s

[otomi]

i was mostly kidding - pow can do what ever they want - if they want to sell prints in there store thru the lottery isn't much you can do about it

[Mentis Statum]

ihave been trying for years for a bansky and i am starting to lose faith! do i just give up? im glsad so many forum members have one, but where is the justice when so many ppl seemed to of won move then one print! yes that was was my moan, but its over now! till next time! if anyone got an email and didnt want to buy let me know! haha

[dmandpenfold]

seems to be a lot of whinging on other threads, keep it down you lot you'll wake the neighbours come back inside...

[craigf]

I got nowt, but at least I don't need 2 think about where 2 put it (small consolation as it was small enough 2 go most places. I did however note the cyclops statues were £10 cheaper than on SOS so it's not all bad!

It was 4pm gmt on the thursday. Some extra dropped around 4am gmt Friday and apparently a couple 8am the same day.

But if you can't whine on a whining thread then where can you

exactly, come in here if it's a good whinge you're after...

[spenie1975]

No email for me, hate raffles, never seem to win anything. Please don't let any more releases go this way.
Just wish I could have bought a ticket.

[dodge]

Ooooooh, I love a good whinge. Me living in the barren wasteland that is the North and not the centre of the universe that is London, home of POW.....I didn't get to buy a ticket and thus didn't win.

Having a responsible job with long hours unfortunately means I can't trek to our capital city at the drop of a hat (or POW email) to queue for prints/lottery tickets/santa's ghetto etc etc etc.....

As a result I will be back off to ebay to pay overinflated prices to dickheads who have no interest in art but merely wish to make a buck at the expense of idiots like me who actually care about making their walls look nice.

I have never managed to nab a Banksy at cost. Likewise, Micallefs and Failes have gone the same way. Woe is me etc etc

[chrisj]

That's a sad story. Dont you know that you can just hop on a plane and fly to print central in Shoreditch any time of the day like all the rest of the international jet setters on here. POW dont care mate, there here to make money.

[grantb]

have they only been dropped during working hours?

Edition is definitely 299.

259 people got first refusal.

1 or 2 get one free.

Mr B keeps number 1 for himself.

Wouldn't be surprised if all the POW staff who worked at the open day get one as xmas bonus so that's another 12 gone at least.

Don't think we're going to see many if any of these for sale online people - sorry!

Wow 299, looks like my wife was won of the last winners.

[richy00]

pow keep 10 and 10 go to laz... the guy at pow said so
