So this is sorta related and mostly occurred to me when I looked to see what the different graphics in the bag might be but does anyone know why the reissue graphic is different then the graphic as it was originally issued? See the super rare NOS board on the bag for an example of what I'm talking about. It looks like it's been completely redrawn even if the composition is the same and then the monster arm and orb were added. From what Frank and Fred posted, they did reissue the OG graphic at one point but it's been the redrawn one only for some time now. I would love to know the story there.
blind bag, blue metal flake, glow in the dark reissues are an original design that was never put into production. they made a handful or possibly only one. i think its in the disposable history book and there is a photo of it here
http://djclever.com/raras-kaupas/i think it looks great, and cool that its an original unused graphic that is just a little different from the full production 89 model.
they have done purple, red, and grey colorways of the original forbes graphic.
was able to get a bunch of the blind bags spending some time online yesterday. there was never an official limit of one per person. TGM had a limit of 5, zumiez had a limit of 3 and others like skate warehouse and nhs had a limit of 2. Im in Moab UT so there aint a skateshop within 2 hours of here, the place that carries some stuff in town is closed for moving.
Im a natas nut so of course im trying to get em all, but i personally hate things like this. Its baseball card, collectable bs. I dont think its fun, or "for the real fans". Blind bags should have been open preorders, get as many as you want so people have time to get on and reserve them as fans. Then press up the total preorders you get plus some extras. The limit 1 per person when there are 6 standard designs sucks for people who are real fans and just want them. Same thing with the lance Natas capsules. 3 colors and you can only order one. My mental hoarder collector disorder kicks in and i want them all. Was able to get 2 colors of that, but missed the yellow.
