Hey guys, I haven't had time to be on the boards for a while as I've been working on my exhibition.

Finally last night we had the opening at my friends store



This was the flyer

I took a bunch of shots before anyone arrived, it was great to see most of my boxes all displayed together.











We even managed to get a beer sponsor for the night







On the left you can see the TV. I had different clips featuring boomboxes playing 4 up at the same time.







Thanks to all members who helped contribute photos

dude that totally kicks ass! no doubt the clothes would be the last thing i would be looking at.

It was a fun night, a bunch of people turned up, well all drunk way too much beer and listened to 80's hiphop Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, Mantronix, MC Shy D, Run DMC, Sugar Hill Gang etc.

Everyone had an awesome time.

Ha ha, it was funny. The guys would come in and go straight to the beer, the girls would come in and go straight to the clothes.

man now thats my kind of party ,i would have to had stood guard over them boxes tho. free of charge.

That`s indeed awesome !

Well done ol`rambo!

stupendous

Very well done Hamish. That looks like a great success, and you all seem to have had a great opening night. How long you gonna leave them there?

Stunning... you should be very proud! Most of us never get a venue for displaying what we've spent so much time and energy collecting. It must really be satisfying!

Hope you were able to protect those grails from prying hands!

H, U done goot.

Thats absoloutely awesome. It's like walking into a dream I keep having... but all the tags in front of them have prices on them in that.

Very impressive, it's now the number 1 tourist attraction in NZ in my book.


Rock On.

welcome back to this nice club -- we now feature nothing but friendship, sharing and kindness here
------stick around !

WOW,thats great! Very cool idea.

You have to be brave to put that many high-quality boxes in a public place. I'd be worried about the punk, thugs walking off with them, or at least parts of them.

But, it looks like everything worked out and everyone had a great time. Congratulations!

Oh lordy, this is amazing. I hope you drew up a robust indemnity insurance for this

I was thinking the same thing, brave indeed.

Awesome nonetheless and certainly would be dream to walk into a shop like that these days. None of my local electronic shops were any where near that cool back in the day.

Fan-friggin-tastic!!!! Man whatever we've all been drinkin lately we need to keep it up! Lot's of great meetings, setups, poses, etc.

OMG that rocks!! congrats! that must have been a blast and a pain in the azzzzz all at the same time!

That is just CRAZY ! I wouldn't leave. No way. No how.

Take Five for this one. Brilliant job - very well done!!!

cheers

That looks wicked Rambo! Great to see the collection like that - the shop looks pretty cool too.

Super cool store. I would do it the same way. Very catchy theme for the store. I'm just curious to know how many people made offers to buy the boxes and your highest one (make/model). Certainly the Disco drew the most attention. Maybe that Disco should face the outside of the store front for attention.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet ! loving that , top job

wow im speechless

Very kool !
Reminds me of the electronic stores on canal street back in the day

you make someone's dream comes ture Rambo~!!

Thanks, Henry. I wish my legs looked that good.

same body but with your head on??
just let me shut my eyes frist

Ohhhhhhh, SO nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love it great job Rambo, keep your eyes on those babies, any pic of the customers? did you have the boxes rocking ?

WOW, what a show!! I'd be in that shop most of the day looking at all the boomboxes. Did you get a lot of people coming in for a look and asking questions?

When do you get them to the safety of your house again?

Really excellent displays Rambo! All I can say is "what clothes?"

Very cool. If it were near me. I would have went to see the toys.

Completely and totally fantastic!!!

Hey guys, thanks for all your comments. It would have been awesome if some stereo2go members could have come along, but it's pretty lonely here in NZ!

I only left all the boxes in the store for a couple of days. There was a rumor of a bunch of hoods planning a break in and I wasn't sure if my insurance would cover it, so I got a little nervous. There are still about 8 boxes in there on display at the moment.

I got asked a bunch of questions, mostly "which one is your favorite?", "how much are they worth?" and "where did you get them all?"

There are a bunch of photos up on the Thanks® blog. Check them out here

Well I would love to have been able to come down and see these fine boxes in the flesh but i became a dad on the weekend so needs must i guess.LOL Nice job though.

hey rambo --no matter how great all the boxes are --no surprise that the disco-lite gets the most attention -- right ??

Cheerz rambo profesinal photos as usual thanks fo sharing, i would have loved to see the boxes in the flesh like us all, i that place looked better kitted out than a shop in the 80's.

I give it two snaps and a circle!

Absolutely cracking, rambo, you must feel justifiably proud

Did you have any of the b-boxes working (using an FM transmitter or similar)?


What would be the point of breaking in? Those morons wouldn't know what to do with the b-boxes & offloading that lot would be a bit obvious in NZ, surely?

...oh & some nice young laydeez there too. You lucky begger

Fantastic to see all those boxes out together, especially with the ID tags...A job well done mate!

Totally cool stuff Rambo!
