A Nag Pa I Root (NAGNAGNAG) and der Angora Patio

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

ZING!

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Holy shit 500? Makes me happy I didn't win...

Edit:Although to be honest, my wife wouldn't have cared about the money...

I don't hear anyone balking at Mishka's 300 now...

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

That's where my joke was going, yes.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Worst part is they had the nerve to auction the last one off.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Auction it off where...

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

...but 20% went to charity

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root



The next most controversial Nag

I'll let Ed explain when he's sober...



The auction seemed a little ridiculous though...

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

i scored thanks to an awesome awesome boardie!

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Bullshit its going to charity, he made that up after people told thrm auctioning it was fucked up. They sold 4 for $500 and one for $1000. They make 1750 profit after expenses. Fuck um.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

lol super douche. Im glad I didnt come down would have been too pissed.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

can't believe they jacked up the prices like that. and the auction shit at the end is low. they knew people had the cash to pay for it.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Auction, really , that's a nice move right there .....

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I love how in the video Greg goes "REACTION SHOT!" after Sean announces the price.

I think no one expected it to be so high but I'm not totally mad at that. I mean they have to pay bills on the store and whatnot. Still a little crazy, but I'm willing to let that go.

I think the only shitty part is the out of left field auction that nobody expected. I'm sure at least one or two people would have lined up some sales (here or elsewhere) had they known they could have dropped extra for it. Lame.

Still psyched to have snagged one though and to have met some cool people!

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Just curious, does Shig know this is how his toy is being sold and represented ?

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

awkward toy events...

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

i was thinking the same thing...

even though it would never happen (probably).. open run at 100 a pop- it would surpass 3000 easily and people wouldnt have to pay ridiculous prices or deal with shady live ebay auctioneering.


oh well

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

i don't even know if shig has the funds to pay for that large of a run? Maybe I'm wrong but he might make enough just to get by? Who knows. Congrats to those who won. Congrats to those who have $500 still in their pocket by the end of black friday.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Preorders?

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I could have sworn either Tara or CCM posted a $200 price tag. When I saw it I was surprised that it would cost less than the 11.11 lottery. I guess either they had the price and then got rid of it or i'm dilusional because I can't find that post anymore.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Yeah that video was really hard to watch. Any fun that was being had, sounded really forced. On top of that there was a price originally announced as a $200 black friday sale, on Tara's website. It was obviously changed, but still... I'm guessing that's why the first guy that won it, didn't have enough money for it with him.

I know there are plenty of people that would love a mixed part pre order blank run.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Well I just got back from the Nag debacle, I mean release, at CCM, and I want to call bullshit on how this was handled. I'm okay with one going for an email lotto, cool give other people a chance that can't get there, $500 price tag is a little steep, I would have paid it if I won, but whatever. I too can swear that I saw a $200 price tag for these originally or we could all be confusing the info on the Nag3 page where they were listed at 200yen which would equal $250, and if you double that = $500, which is what most galleries/shops are going to do. My real problem was the whole auction bullshit with the last one, first off they started the bidding at $450, really? wow! how kind of you. I started to call bullshit at this point but for some reason the auction footage is missing from Greg's video, so you can't see them pull out the whole "20% will go to charity" line when me and a couple of others called them on it as bullshit. I would have been fine not winning the lotto as I'm sure the others there would have been also, but to pull some lame as stunt like that to line your pockets is just wack.

other then that it was a pretty cool night, got to meet some new people, hang with some friends, eat brauts and drink big ass beers and check out Mishka HQ (Greg's office is bonkers), not bad..

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I dont know. I just had a fun night just seeing my skullbrain homies. Big shout out to Tara and Sean for having us.
Meeting new faces from SB is what gets /keeps me pumped on the vinyl scene. I don't know but I have to say the NYC skull krew will kick any other city's
Skull krew. Hands down and we challenge any other krew to a game of dodge ball.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

LOL awkward is a understatement for what when on in that video, holy fuck. The first dude who didn't have enough money for the NEW price...that says it all. I would have bought that guy a 6 pack or something. The whole thing is just funny, its not even a toy anymore, NNN is like a promotional company now. Maybe NNN can sponsor our company holiday party. Oh well, it was a cool toy while it lasted.

The hardest part was the long har guy announcing the new price, and I don't just mean because of the price hike, but because watching him sell these things off with lack of knowledge beyond their value was equivalent to my Grandma selling them.

And yea Joel I agree just hanging with boardies is what matters, thats next to all I care about in this scene anymore.
