Last year I posted pictures of the abandoned Apple store in Kuwait City and they quickly spread all over the web. The coolest thing about this dirty old store were the old Apple posters, everyone wanted to get their hands on them since they are very rare and impossible to find. So I passed by the place today during lunch time and to my surprise the posters were all taken down and the store completely emptied and cleaned. I quickly got closer to see if I could find any trace of the posters and their they were folded on the floor of the display window. So I went upstairs to the Apple stores office and spoke to this Apple tech guy whom I met a couple of times before and he told me that they had just finished repainting the store and they would be opening it up in the next few days. I asked him what they were going to do with the posters since he knows how badly I wanted them, he told me that they were going to hang them up again. SUCKS! So now I am never going to get my hands on these Apple posters nor will I be able to get my hand on Lego guy!

Dude say you need it for your sick son, who really loves the posters, or something like that. You don’t have a son, so him being sick will never occur. If not say you’re willing to pay him, as your son only has a few months to live…

TELL HIM THAT U’LL PAY HIM FOR DA POSTER!!
i offered KD50 for the Buzz Aldrin poster.. he didn’t accept
Wilson mentioned that they would be opening back when I visited him a couple months ago, and even asked him about the posters and he couldn’t do a thing about it.
Wilson has nothing to do with this Apple Store, he works with a competing apple retailer. The guy incharge at this store is Reggie.
The GM for Apple Dealer in the middle east is a friend of mine, I will do you the favor and get you the posters. Give me a shot of the poesters you want and I will ask him to provide them. How about that?
they dont make these posters anymore, they are vintage. they are not really posters they are display banners
