Obey drops suck, his site is by far the worst/most frustrating.

First Obey drop in over a year. Glad to see the same shitty posters are still there...

With Mondo, you might get caught in the shipping calculator for a minute or something and receive the tweet that it's sold out ... sure, it sucks. But with Obey, you get caught in this timeout hell for like 20-30 mins before anything is officially sold out. I timed out like 20-30 times at different parts of the process on different browsers with Peace Dove before they were officially gone (it's been like this for every Obey drop I've tried). Sometimes my cart emptied and had to re-cart for no real reason, just to either timeout with paypal or the final confirmation ... again.

Much more frustrating, for me at least.

They're both easy.

no. Obey's site manages to have more steps than Mondo's.

All bets are off on this one.
Remember the elephant? That was around 6:45pm EST.

there is so much poster hype right now for everything, that everything is difficult, but this is Fairey -- his site is the worst, bar none, the checkout process is the toughest in this industry. good luck folks
