The more I think about this item, the dumber it becomes to me. :fp: Seriously, these things are kind of shameful. :nono:

I don't understand why it's shameful. I'm not disagreeing with your dumber sentiment, but if folks want everything and anything that's somehow no matter how tangentially related to PJ, then so be it. I don't really see the connection to PJ other than they are helping a (presumably) good friend out by "endorsing" his product. Maybe, there's some deeper connection like Jeff picked the colors or Stone individually named each one, but even that seems to be a stretch creatively.

They have a friend who's an artist, so why not help him out by taking advantage of us freaks? As with most (but not all) things, anyone who buys this does so willingly. And if PJ can help out a good friend, why not? It's an endorsement and nothing more. At least it's not creating a culture where kids think they need to "buy" $200 sneakers (or the like) to be part of the crowd (THAT's shameful).

My favorite part of this thing though is the randomness of it - that they pick 1 color to make less available, then make the packaging blinded. What's the point of that? Forcing folks to buy more just to get the complete collection? I realize that's not only not uncommon, but the standard practice. But, that sort of thing always turned me off. Just make the unique one more expensive, and be done with it (like the poster racket). Because in effect that is what you are doing anyway.

so $15 each for sure? yet the adverts say $10....

confusing but that makes more sense with the box being $180 for 12, does a box guarantee a full set?

definitely $15 at the merch booth

Yep, $15. The box is glued shut, and inside there's sealed foil packaging so for all you crazies out there (I may or may not be one of them), you'll either have sealed sheep and you won't know which one, or you'll have to open the packaging to figure out what you have. The foil says Pearl Jam on it and I think the sheep has Pearl Jam written on his foot.

I clearly have not opened mine yet.

I love these kind of things but these are just ugly IMO. They should team up with Frank Kozik and do a blind box set of "Smorkin Labbits" they are way cooler looking and I would buy them until I had every one.
