I’m still furious that I missed the amazing Royal Tenenbaums print a while back.

That said, please do not print more.

I just get the tweet on my phone, go online and order-FAST. It helps to already have a Mondo account and be logged in too. I missed this one too, but bagged me a McCarthy Hoth!

Missed it two by seconds due to a glitch in the process with my bloody PaypAl account. Frustrating I know but that’s life hey, I’ll have forgotten about it by tomorrow and will move on but wont’ be buying from the flippers. Worse thing is was waiting also for the John and Yoko Obey print to drop all day, nipped out to the shop and missed that too. A double whammy!! Oh well, I hope for the Stout next week, any got a clue what day?

I must say that on those I’ve caught, its been by sitting on my laptop most of the day, hitting refresh. Even then, it took either a note on Facebook, or the email with an initially wrong link, that lead to the right page. On the previous one, I’d literally only just hit refresh, when an email hit my inbox with the link..

Well said iron jaiden. I’m pissed I missed this one, myself, but hey, I got the last one, and missed Tribbles and Star Seed.

It’s getting really boring reading about how folks missed out on the original, seem to think that the way around multiple copies going on Ebay, is they should not do limited editions… How/why this will stop copies going on Ebay, defeats me. There are plenty of unlimited posters that still seem to sell for a lot of money on Ebay. The price of the items might drop on the secondhand market as other bits get released, or they might go skyhigh.

@Newbies: listen guys this is the way poster collecting works. It’s been like this for years and years. Very limited edition screen printed artwork that is sought after by fans of the subject, band, movie, artist, art or any combination thereof. Part of the enjoyment of owning one of these pieces is how rare they are. That’s often what distinguishes a “collectible” from a “commonplace item”. I know everyone would love to have infinite runs made of their dream artwork for a nickel a print but it’s just not going to happen.
It does you no good to piss and moan about the aftermarket. It exists and that’s that. In a dream world everyone who scores would frame this next to their blaster gun replica, but in reality people sell rare things for high prices. Don’t like it? Reject capitalism. But I digress.
Those of us that ALWAYS get +1s are not special in some way. We just hang out at the product page and hit F5 on the day of the drop for a couple hours. You’d be surprised how easy this thing is when you invest a little effort into scoring.
Good luck on the next one boppers.

I’m with Johnathan on this one.

There are now 16 on eBay.

Why are so few of a lot of the quality works on this site made? Given the prices on things on the site are very reasonable it doesn’t seem like anyone is going for higher prices through scarcity or something.
