Yeah, I don't know, I hear all these horror stories, but the only time I really had a problem was when they started the sale before twitting it.  I don't think I'm doing anything special, but it works.  The God of prints must be with me.

I managed to get a Cronos and Stout Cap America without probs, but today it just hung for me. I think I'll try a new method for the next one - really want to try and get an Ansin POTA when (if?) it is released, so I need to hone my skills. I will see if I can get a Mummy off ebay for a price that doesn't make me feel sick. Congrats on the score, the variant's hieroglyphics are pretty cool

BTW, since apparently, I am known by the Mondo bunch for complaining a lot, those Ansins are top notch.  Fabulous prints.  Mondo has been redeeming itself in a big way as of late.

+1 on the variant.

Really sweet print.
Server and checkout process flew for me today.  I always seem to hang on shipping calculation, then they are gone.  No problems this time through.

I NEVER COMPLAIN!!!

So I got the 3 Mummy styles, wood, reg and variant, and no Invisible Man, which I don't like.  Yes, I don't like it... it sucks... blows ass... but I'm not complaining.  I don't complain.

Funny.  I just ordered a whole batch from Medco.  I need them dealing with you people.

And I take care of my own, so I'll try and take care of Ves.

I don't think so.  It looks like all these ugly animal renditions that artists do nowadays.  Just a lot of paint and color, a bright sun in the background and an eagle flying away.  It's very heavy handed, not very refined, just thick.  Lots of people like this shit and call it art.  I wouldn't use it to wipe my precious behind.

Kinda like this...

Harsh T,
That does suck,but the POTA is (you gotta admit) better than that example,
The eagle pic is something i would expect in a tatoo parlour. ;)

Exactly, Stew!

Honestly, I don't see much difference, except that I like eagles more than apes.

I think he does that tiered release/price thing...10 left at price A, then when they sell out, it's ANOTHER 10 at price B (higher than A of course).

Not my cup of tea, but oh well...each their own!
