Sorry to hear about your troubles with GSP. Personally if a seller lists with GSP I always ask if they will ship themselves via regular post. If they don’t I won’t bid. Lost a mint US 30x40 Escape from a New York with GSP.

Nice update there. Really like Flash Gordon and View to a Kill. Such a great perspective on the Bond, even though I don't really understand that Moore is aiming at since Walken is behind him

And Sheena in not bad.

Just a few posts above I shared the tale of woe about my King Kong 1976 one sheet which arrived mangled courtesy of eBay's Global Shipping System.

Well, unbelievably I'm now two-for-two.

Following a refund from eBay themselves, today the replacement arrived, again in a pretty sturdy tube, rolled tighter inside in paper, and again the poster itself had sustained damage.

No tear this time, but a big bash which has translated into creases and bashes the length of the poster. The damage can be viewed here... http://imgur.com/a/DLlW3

I wish I'd read the postings here about the perils of eBay's Global Shipping System before going ahead with the replacement. I'm not sure how eBay will handle this, because from my perspective this is not the mint poster I paid a good bit of money for, but needless to say I'll not be buying anything in get future which ships through eBay's Global Shipping System!

Wow, I feel bad for you again, Desk, with a 2 for 2, with stuff being sent using EGS.

And if for no other reason, why anyone should avoid buying items that are indicated to be sent with this service. Man, it's like monkeys handling the packages. Grrrrr.

Quite a few came this month. All Japanese B1. Animation, Ghibli, Disney and some random ones.
Particularly surprised by the printing quality of the Steamboy. Thick paper stock but double-sided!

If you like Dan Goozee's perspective art, you can see a bunch of concept arts on this site. All originals owned by the first chap to do a poster book on Bond.

All sorts of weird angles up the Eiffel Tower and on top of the extended ladders of a fire truck. Brilliant stuff.

This second link will have Bond actually aiming at something.

Wow, that's an amazing collection of Bond art. Some good, some not so good but what amazes me is that the collector managed to track down (and afford) all those pieces. Very impressive.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with this 9-panel monster! I think the only reason it's still around is because it was used indoors instead of being wheat pasted up on the side of building. The top sections were all taped up, but the bottom 3 panels were totally unused.

That's a 6' ruler by the way!

Simes · « **Reply #64 on:** March 28, 2018, 08:13:52 AM »

Bloody hell.

I was about to ask what size that measured up to, but only because I didn't See the 6' ruler.

What is that then, 15' across?

Yes, Thomas Nixdorf does have The most impressive collection of original art. He used to concentrate on normal posters, as we do, but he has shifted focus by selling that and buying the other.

He curated an exhibition in Germany around the time of SPECTRE. And I recently acquired the brochure that accompanied the exhibition. The word 'brochure' hardly does this justice though as it is a simply massive tome-like production. Unfortunately, I cannot speak German, and neither have I found anyone with an electronic version of the text that I could sift through a translator. A pity as there is a mountain of text and information too.

He is now an email friend, and the odd thing does pass between us if we can 'share' auction lots.

How did you acquire it?

Indeed, how did you photograph it?

And when you decide, please tell us what you will do with it.

I was teetering on the top of a 15' ladder and I still could not get the whole poster photographed! I was trying to reach my hand up extra high and shoot blind to get a little extra height. But I made the mistake of looking down and had to give up after getting Vertigo.

And in local news, a man fell to his death today while trying to photograph poster for "The Good Life"

I bought it from a French seller who had a lot of billboards. It came with an extra text-only poster highlighting the win at Cannes. They were probably printed in very limited numbers and this is the only copy I've ever seen or heard of. Perhaps most interesting is that the art is slightly different -- notably Mastroianni's face/expression.

Great (and massive) poster!

Not sure, but I believe it is a 1974 re-release given the title being シンデレラ姫, instead of the original title シンデレラ.

AVTAK was better than Brosnans Bonds (except GE , that was the only good Brosnan Bond imo) , Zorin was among the best villains ever and May Day was memorable too (you could even make a case that MD inspired later villains like Onatopp)

The plot was ahead of it's time and seemed like something that could actually happen in real life (triggering an earthquake) , it's not virus orbs from space like MR.

US fans also forget it's cool to see SF and the city for those not in US.

Thanks for the info on the updated, Japanese title,, too. Does the revised title translate to basically the same as the original?
