Knit shark drop news.

[Blackspade]

One word: Re-fucking-diculous.
I was the first to get there at 9 PM for the raffle, then my friends came around 10:30 PMish so I got number one. I lined up overnight with my friends, had 3 bottles of smirnoff ice :D and the staff was unexpectedly friendly because he'd let us leave for 30-40 minute food,toilet breaks. They only handed out around 67 raffle tickets which was the shortest line HK BWS ever had for a Sunday drop.
And then the deathrow started at 11 am, I was the first to draw and I didn't get it. :eek: Then 3 of my friends behind me got it, in a row and got pretty decent numbers like 3,7 and 5.

On the side note, a reseller boss was pissed off that he didn't get the raffle so he stormed inside the store and made a little threat and got 2. After that he was trying to buy everything in M-XL for about $4000-5000 HKD off people who got the raffle.

P.S: I did end up getting the new washed Levis denim Edison Chen was wearing in the cover on East Touch and some Medicom 4 sbs which didn't come with a box because my friend just wanted the toy.

These reselling bosses are getting out of hand. SMH.

They tried to pull the same stunt in Kyoto today with the Tiger.

[Blackspade]

Yeah, the reseller boss was nortorious amongst the staff though so I think he kind of pushed in around 23-24 in the morning with his staff and none of them got it.
Fucking ridiculous though, my friends got it but they're keeping it for themselves or Yahooing it. Better luck for me next time I guess for Tiger, my friend has connections and he can hold some.

^^ damn unlucky man,, yya resellers are getting crazy,, but what can you

[fatboy]

hahah maybe i should try doing what the boss did if i dont get in for the tiger and i might walk out with 5 hahah yea there was a really short line in ny too ppl just dont understand how nice it really is most of the ppl in the line didnt even noe the shark was today they were just thinkin it was a normal day waiting for the store to open

[Syko]

im sorry to ask this, but im not completely familiar with the raffle system. could someone just explain in detail about the whole process, from lining up to getting into the store. The last time i camped for a hyped release was for the camo shark but i didnt draw a number.

thanks alot.

[fatboy]

im not too sure with the hk one but in ny u just line up befor they open and ppl that work in bape will come out with a box and u pick out a number from 1-20 it depends on how many they have but the lower the better

for the hk one i think u have to line up to get your name registered befor raffle or something like that i dont really noe i gotta find out befor the tiger drops so i noe what to expect when im there

[Syko]

yeah, thats what i'm confused about... i think in hong kong you gotta register to get a raffle for really hyped releases. I'm just a little curious, if there are 20 tickets, and you're first and choose a 20, does this mean that the chances of you getting what you want will be lower or does it not matter?

thanks again.

[popolove]

when you get your name registered and you finally picked up number 20, you will be the 20th person to go in.

[Syko]

alright, thanks popo

[tomtsang16]

unlucky blackspade, hopefully more luck on the tigers in about 2 weeks time.

[Blackspade]

Yeah they register your name and your ID number and write a number on your hand.

[fatboy]
