    For a band as big as pearl jam is, they sure run a shit show when it comes to these things. So many people have great ideas as to how everyone can get a piece of the pie, but nope. Pearl jam is a corporation.

    It is comical really, you would think they would actually try to get some of this stuff in the hands of their fans for as much as they hyped this show.
    It's like they all showed up to work the shop and said, " what do we do?" And everyone just stood there with that lost look on their faces. Plan it out, make it right. Get the stuff in the fans hands for box price not marked up 500% on eBay. Shit, they're already on eBay for $200 the posters. Instead, you have people walking out with 20 hats and 20 shirts to dump on eBay to pay for the cost of their trip and some.

    And what I find even worse, a lot of it are people who are flipping just to go to more shows.

    I can not see that happen. The King Kong poster is a classic for many reasons. The Transformers

    How? It's all based on perceived hype and personal preference...plus, there are more desired posters out there than the Donkey Kong
    Agreed... it's a perception. Unless the Transformers poster spits out dollar bills, it's not worth the hype. The Kong poster is a classic.

    Stop buying all this crap and they might actually be forced to play a few shows next year to meet their bottom line.

    Also, it's good to see they learned from the Wrigley merch debacle.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    If I had to guess I'd say Ames will throw up multiple Transformers and/or Decepticons variants on Sunday.

    The Transformers poster is classic lazy Ames....and unlike the Kong, there is no creativity there.
    The only way that one becomes as valued as the Kong is because its NY and overhyped- but Im gonna guess the print run will be much higher than the Kong, therefore its wont reach that level.
    The best one of the bunch is that new artists, just because its visually different than anything else, but again, lots of skulls and similar themes we've seen too much of in recent years.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Yeah, you know the people working at Volcolm could care less, they want as much sold as fast as possible to get rid of the crowds.

    Either that or the stage setup is made out of actual transformers...LOL...but I could see the merch machine of PJ churning out 5 individual Transformer themed posters at some point to add to the chaos that it has become.

    You could wait til Ames sells it, with the variant(s)

    There's only 1000 stickers each so those will be hard to come by.
    They allow u two each which is cool!
    Only 2 posters each also. Ames sold out by the time I got up there to the line.
    Saw a guy buy 10 hats and after he walked out five minutes later they are on eBay? Coincidence?!?
    I'll post pics of the stickers later.
    I think something is up with the "no flipping" stickers on the backs of the posters. Just saying.

    Yea once the print is rolled and the sticker is affected an ink packet bursts out, ruining the poster forever. That's why Dimitri thinks this will be the next Kong...all the destroyed flips will make it super rare.
