    Well, I gave in, regardless of what people say. I bought the book for my brother a few months ago for his birthday. He loved it, and I had all intentions of buying one too. This worked out in my favor!
    ...44 shows...and counting....

    ya i know what u mean...this is kinda low for 10C/Ames Bros.
    so many ppl passed on the $200 one and said i'll still get the $50 one cuz i'm a true fan and poster admirer (like me)

    and now to deplete their leftover inventory they give a free poster (it's only one foot tall too) which screws over all us true fans that bought the $50 one last year and screws those in the a** that bought the $200 and got 3 lousy LE posters

    and now i'm gonna have to sell/trade for this metallic gold gem that incorporates many of the 08 ames and past ames....while BK gets rid of his extra inventory by bringing his prices down on Artillery which is why I always like his work and character more

    Stop buying. This is supposed to be fun. If you enjoy it, go for it. If not you have the right to pass.

    No need to bitch.

    Just ordered mine by the way. Couldn't justify the $$$ at first, but with the poster I'm psyched.

    Now I have a Pearl Jam poster to go with the FREE Hernry Fonda 06 Hollywood show I got into for FREE. Did I mention it was FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

    Now if I ever have the $$$ to frame anything..........

    It's really no different than something dropping in price after time. When a store puts something on sale you can't bitch that you bought yours a year ago and it wasn't on sale - thats the chance you take. To be honest the print isn't even nice.

    man, it's in 10clubs goods section..pearl jam are selling it..we who bought the limited edition book got stiffed completely with those 3 prints. they were fuckin abysmal. This is a shitty slap in the face. Fuck that it's wrong plain and simple.

    On a positive note, you can probably sell your limited edition book for a good price and buy this one if you prefer, or buy this one again, keep the poster and sell the book?

    Here is one that ended on eBay for $275.00 recently. Good luck.

    ...u dont think PJ gets a royalty from this book? If you answer no, you need to go back to school
    I've always like the 10C, but I kinda side with aldarion on this one only cuz ive bought hundreds of dollars in goods in the last couple of years

    the book w/ poster are on sale on 10cs goods section...Pj are selling the book..

    talk about ripping your fanbase off..

    worse than the Stones having different merch at each of their merch stands..much worse

    'we're pearl jam..we're fan friendly' bollox..as long as we're giving you our money you mean!

    its a rip. complete rip.

    it's all in the marketing. look at it this way:

    'New limited edition Ames Brothers Art Print now on sale for $50 AND, while supplies last, you get the cool poster book for free'

    this way, current book owners wouldn't feel cheated.

    two cents,
    lz
    The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever. Because this is just a ride." And we...kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok? But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.

    I'm a current book owner and i feel cheated..you would too if you saw the shitty 'limited art prints' that came with it..$240 for nothing the $50 version didn't have? the sketches down the back were the only worthwhile thing...

    fuck this shit..im flipping the LE for as much as i can get for it..free No Code Vinyl with it!

    (free means you wont hafta pay for it! not an idea you hear round this place ever)
