«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 299 of 299Oh, no.
What the cheez?!
maybe they are in the wrong Tokyo. lol
LT: Where are you seeing the updates?
What's "oh no" about?
congested pulled from chat room
i'm not going in there tongiht
Capcom - thats the problem (for me!). If they do that then it would be in Australia, and that reveal, I cant do!
Tim! Hiroki! What's happening?!
The store really doesn't know anything?
[10:10pm] FrankBoisvert: my brother took pics.. they're coming in now
:-( You're right Kiwi.
Apparently, RH does not understand what is going on.
If that's true...this is so wrong!
No way! That stinks, but it's not the first time.
Can someone show them the DCAAPB site somehow? On their computer?
maybe they have to account for a 3 year difference because Japan is an island.
[10:13pm] FrankBoisvert: http://www.twitpic.com/mofbj
sounds like another NYC/ Tucson,,only on a international scale..
MEL
@Capcom ... That seems to be EXACTLY what they're doing LMAO.
Hey yeah!
congested. i'm not going into chat tonight. hope you are ok with that.
OMG, Frank...that's so funny that Hiroki is trying to explain what's happening to the employee! Funny and so SAD
Is that LostARGs he's showing him? I looks like our site colors.
"very sorry to say but unfortunately there is no bags here..no giveaways.. maybe something wrong.."
Hiroki: I am here for my LOST tote
Manager: Your LOST?
Hiroki: No, I need a LOST tote.
Manager: It must suck to be LOST and not have a tote to carry your belongings in.
Hiroki: You do not have a LOST tote for me?
Manager: We could give you a tote for free if you purchase $500 worth of clothing.
Aw, poor Hiroki and Tim!
[10:17pm] FrankBoisvert: "unfortunately... no bag, no info, nothing...for now."
...yeah, it's another New York.
This totally sucks...especially for Hiroki and Tim and Japanese fans!
Another ABC intern's career bites the dust! Or should.
I reckon Darlton will kick some serious arse over this one.
..They didn't give the package of Totes to Fed X until today because it doesn't have to be there until tomorrow..MEL
::cough!ApolloBars!cough::
Seriously, Mel, I bet that's it.
I can't believe that no one there knows anything? Unbelievable!
@Capcom: EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!!
For those of you not in Chat Room... Tokyo is a bust. Manager of store knows nothing about this.
If a higher power is watching this blog... give us a sign. ;)
Yeah that would be an intern typa mistake!
But the Manager should know something...even if it's that they didn't receive what ever!
MEL you are too smart for three letters
Sorry Hiroki, but I couldn't resist.

The sign appears to be a bird...
Hilarious Congested...so funny. Poor Hiroki, just trying to help us out!
LOL Congested.
See, this is why we are a close team....we've laughed and cried many Lost tears together. :-(
OK. If this is not resolved, my canvas bag courtesy of Justin goes to Tokyo. Really. Can someone make a call?
I hope Hiroki gets something for his efforts - even if it is a day or so late.
I do honestly feel bad for the guy, as this is basically what we all went through here in NY. So I hope he sees the picture as a joke.
congested... :0 :} :D
Can anyone go back to RH in the morning and grab another tote - Id hate to see LT lose out on that too.
That...sucks my friends.
Thank you, Hiroki and Tim! You were there, we were here. I think most of us held up our end of the bargain.
" I spoke with store manager japan and said he did not know this again.unfortunately japan part wasn't happen. sorry for your time"
Yes, thanks Hiroki and Tim! Sorry you got short changed- not fair.
Thank you Hiroki and Tim!!
Thanks for the effort Hiroki & Tim!
Yeah thanks to both of you. Sorry it didn't work out for you guys.
Paul, Damon, Carlton and whoever ought to reshoot their picture together. This time, all expressing DEEP APOLOGY TO LOST FANS ,ought to be easily discerned,,on their faces. Pardon the pun,, but this IS so VERY Mickey Mouse!
MEL
Hiroki and Tim. Consider leaving a phone number with manager. When it is ever understood ,, then they can get hold of you...Thanks for being there.
MEL
There's no better way to spend a Friday night than camped out in front of your computer, hitting the refresh button repeatedly on multiple tabs in Firefox, hoping for some new update with the LOST ARG posters.
there is software that will refresh your internet page in lieu of hitting F5.
I was thinking that too Mel, and even going to check again tomorrow.
. . . and so . . .
I'm sitting chatting with Hiroki on the FB late this afternoon, early Tokyo. When I get a ping from SpoilerTV Direct Messaging. It's from Hefty, a poster carrying member of the DarkUFO. He wanted to know if it was true that I didn't get copy of Swan Station. I replied, yes, and that I neglected to pay attention this morning. Ping. Another message. It's Hefty. He is offering he's copy of Swan Station. WHAT? Yes, he was trying for the complete collection and realized that would now be doubtful and I quote "I just wanted some good to come out of today."
WOW. I'm in shock. It took a while for it to sink in, become real. I posted over at DarkUFO what this means to me. And it had nothing to do with a swan in red and black. We reach out, take the step, open up our lives to others. It's sometimes a bit frightening. I benefit today from a total strangers kind act. I hope that I am given the opportunity to pay that forward.
So my collection will have a poster that started as a blank piece of paper, was crafted by an artist, depicting the conflict of fire and water, good and evil, signed with love, rolled and contained, mailed, touched by a friend and re-mailed to me. It will be special.
i see no mention of a time for Tokyo. could it just be presumptive to assume it was suppose to happen when the store opened?
LRC,
Yeah, but sometimes I get impatient. Especially when timing is everything with these poster reveals.
LT, that is VERY cool. Im sure your spirits have lifted beyond belief! Neat.
@LT
That's fantabulous. Really happy for you.
They've got pics of the tote bag on the Hub now (maybe this isn't new news).
I agree with Mel and Capcom- I would leave info n case they got something they could contact you. Or I would try again tomorrow. Maybe an intern couldn't get the timezones straight.
Hefty's another one of the Good Guys. :-)
Perhaps even check again tonight before they close. If ABC got it wrong, the goods might arrive the night before the "late" reveal.
hirokitojo from twitter:
I gave my handwriting letter to store manager with my email address and www.lostargs.com url if there will be a chance. #lostarg2 minutes ago from web
Hiroki gave them his info, hopefully they'll get something in and email him.
There is a problem here. If store mgr doesn't know anything.. then I am to believe that the Ron Heaman people Also do not talk to their counterparts in Japan?..or is it that ABC Promos just do not talk to Ron heaman people in USA??..see what I'm getting at? How is it possible ? For BOTH ABC promo to blow it..AND Ron Heaman people?? Seems unlikely..so rather than loose face,or offend a partner.., just say ..I don't know anything... Somebody better get the American Amabassador in on this or we may have an international incident..oh wait.. we already do!!!
MEL
@LT, just finished reading the comments. If hiroki didn't get a tote, I'll send him mine. Keep yours. I'll message him on facebook. Btw, really glad to hear you were able to get a poster!
LotteryTicket, that's great that you have the poster and a generous friend.
This event has been almost impossible to keep up with. :)
LT...did you buy any additional copies of any previous posters?
LT...did you buy any additional copies of any previous posters?
Lost fans are the best! :)
All - Just sent this to TGCustomerService... you never know what could happen:
Evening & Namaste -
As you've all had the quite the day, I'm sorry to be one more Lost fan that throws something your way. Myself and several other dozen Lost fans have been following two very fine young men (Hiroki Tojo & Tim Boisvert) who went to RH in Tokyo this morning as directed by the clue on DCAPB. Nothing seemed to be happening and the store manager had no clue. You've got to take a look at this photo... it's one for the books. :)
http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/1112/gtfonq.jpg
Any assistance you can give us (and more importantly them) would be greatly appreciated!
John :)
I in fact am a fan of being the most lost person.
Mel: actually it is possible for the ABC promo people and the RH people both to screw things up. You should hear about the Apollo candy bar giveaways of the summer of 2006....
hey Maven,, somebody needs to tell that to ABC/ Ronie Midfew/DCaaPB..!
..MEL
charte321, again I thank you for your offer. I have no additional prints which made my day a bit difficult. It eliminated the ability to TRADE. It never occurred to me that I would need a poster in my back pocket.
But others do have extras. Don't give up on getting the poster you want by the time this is all said and done.
Did you post at DarkUFO TRADE A POSTER thread? That might be your best.
That's alright. I am glad to hear you got one.
That said, I am sad for Hiriko.
Justin, thanks. Let's see what GoMerch, ABC, Ronie Midfew, Disney, Clandestine, and Ron Herman can figure out.
Really! Is it that difficult?
Good work, JPL! Hopefully they'll have enough gumption to reply!
I am exhausted from all this poster hunting stuff today! So with that, I'm finally going to leave the computer. Have a good night ya'll.
Until the next clue.....
JPL, I tried emailing them before regarding a print, and all you get is the standard reply - we are just the billing and shipping agent for this project etc etc. I tried to get another email of someone up the chain for an answer, but got nowhere.
Okay this has gone far enough. The question now is..whats the point?
I mean..I got a print of the DCand aPB painting from Paul,,in gratitude for contributing to his newly created website. Yes myself, dark , Doc Artz,and another were supposedly the only ones. Its signed by Paul and numbered 9 /30..Along with that gift,,came a letter,,a copy of an original handwritten letter, explaining the gift and what not..apparently all of us got a copy of the same letter..but..words were scratched out,,misspelling,,just a poorly executed letter with a printed letterhead on it. I mean..POOR!
My point being..Poor Execution has been part of the ARG from the get go,,so much so,,I believe It Is On Purpose!. Mispelling, just palin getting it wrong,, etc etc etc have plagued this ARG. The mistakes, bleeps and blunders have been pointed out by all here. Its now reached the point of..what the hell is going on here?..okay okay okay.. WE GET IT!,,but..what IS The Point of it all?
There is a certain irony to a Fan Appreciation Event that treats the fans with a ,,,,unappreciative manner,, a lack of professionalism. But,, is it a joke to Hiroki..or Congested?
Maybe they are just giving us the LOST Experience? After all, the LOSTIES just keep screwing up. Everytime you think the LOSTIES would have learned their lesson,,they turn around and screw up again!! Is that their aim? To drive us nuts? See how much crap we'll eat before we say,This IS CRaZy!!
I am in agreement with words stated above. " This is unbelievable!"..EXACTLY!!.. so unbelievable, that it can be nothing less that orchestrated. ( which is what I've been saying about LOST all along,,Reality as seen thru a insane person's mind)
Are all these goof ups a big hint to red question mark? Well.. if we're all at our whits end by the time we get there,,will it matter?
Obviously there is pain involved. Maybe we should talk amongst ourselves here and alleviate the pain with some hope. I mean, yea.. we are the best,,there are really good people,,but ,,geesh. Damon and Carlton are part of this ARG. At least they have lent themselves to pictures suggesting so. So the lack of continued professionalism is ...what?..Why are they allowing this? What are we supposed to be getting out of it?
MEL
Maybe the giveaways were delivered the Tokyo RH store in the alternate timeline?
HAHA I am not trying to be mean but if you are going to critique spelling, please check your own first!!!:D
im so happy that i stopped following this "arg" long time ago....
C,,.if you are qualified to be an editor,, then thanks for giving away free for what you normally get paid to do. But i don't make promises that reach across the Pacific ocean, then fail to live up to them either. Think Big.
MEL
if we don't arg together, we'll f5 alone...
should be a motto or sumthin~ heehee
"aurgh" seems adequate with these fast sell-outs O.O'
btw, whatever happened with tokyo?

*Fabulous. It's late:(

BAHHAAAAAA ROFL
I wasn't critiquing you! You were harping on spelling while not being able to spell. I just merely pointed out the irony.
Anyways, who are you to remain anonymous? Are you Darlton!? Are you trying to give us clues into how the minor mishaps fall into a larger picture? Or are you Paul?
Sorry to hear of all the problems for Hiroki and Tim.
