^^if you want to have a decent selection, your going to have to get there before the resellers... all the shirts and hoodies (basically anything worth the 6hr line) were sold out of pirate ny within the 1st 20 resellers. i was one of the 1st 50 or so and all that was left was city roadstas, dotted stas, trucker hats, some eh type jackets and tons of small goods. the last 100 or so people just went in to buy whatever just because it was 1/2 off... basically everything you wouldnt have bought at full price but may say what the hell and get it 1/2 price. i saw so many tiny little bape bags and disappointed faces that day coming out the store

if they do it the same as here: they only let in a few people at a time and you have to wait for them to leave before the next group. so those people before you have all the time and space to go through everything good... so if you want anything worthwhile get there early or get the scrapes cuz keep in mind its mostly the stuff that didnt sell out the 1st time... and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th days are kind of pointless imo unless this la store is huge and they actually plan to restock each day.

Thanks GRCnyc for all the help u answered all of my questions especially how groups are going to form and enter the store separately.. and i already spoke to a worker at bape and they said they are not going to restock so ima get there hella early just so i can get a good selection to choose from
 
^good luck bro, and if your a size 5,6, 8 or 13 its going to be a sneaker gold mine!
-side note- ny pirate did not seem to be in any resemblance to Japans pirate store. Japans seem to be set up as a real outlet, full sized store, treasure bags, bape pirate labeled merchandise etc NY was basically a small temporary room rented with liquidated archivals stacked along the floor and shelves... so im guessing, la = no treasure bags or pirate store merch as well

So NY didn't have the pirate store merch? I was more after a pirate store trucker or shirt then any of the discounted shit. Starting to think I won't bother with the drive from Vegas to check it out.
 
this shits gona be worse than NY cuz its actually at the LA store!
and that means its less people per "group" that enters the store...
have only seen the la store from pics and it looks twice as big as ny bws, and the pirate store was only the size of the bottom of ny bws... so it was only 20 or so people allowed to be in the store at once, then when 1 or 2 etc left, 1 or 2 etc was let in.


*still willing to pay box price shipped for a ny cw roadsta pick up in a 12

does anyone kno how pricing is going to be?


like how much for tees, accesories, shoes?

they had a sample wall of Really really dope stuff but it's mostly sizes 6 (NY)
the most you'll pay is 1/2 of the retail label. The least you'll pay is 70% off the label which isn't much so expect it a 50% of sale.
