These guys are here in Brazil (all of São Paulo) and are "rooted" in the Hip-Hop (Graffiti Writers are, Break Dancers, DJs and MCs) that lead to the background culture and radios always go to the streets to sessions and Battles Break ... ... I'm online whenever I can connect with Rico and the Foley and radios (90 per cent of them, mines are achieved in the streets.

Here the link and some videos of them:

So that's where they came from.
I met this guy who worked on that movie,
I asked him where they got all of those boxes and he told me they got them all at thrift stores.
I said, "No sir, they most certainly did not!"

I was going to suggest that VS has well over that by now.
Maybe someday a collection pic series of the entirety would be a treat. :thumbsup:

Cheers OSS :afro:

He did not say, but I assumed he was talking about LA.
Anyway, he was wrong.
Nobody, and I mean Nobody, finds all of the Boomers that were in that movie wall at a Thrift store in one lifetime.

170 boxes across 6 people = only 28.3 each.
