Stunning. Don’t know if I’ll be able to drop all that coin for the box but I KNOW I am getting that olive colored one with the DJ Shadow logo as girder image.

300 people showed up and only 40 copies were available. Too bad for me i was about 288 in line. Apparently people had been waiting there since this morning. Guess I’ll have to try again on september 1st.
