..........I was thinking the same.

Cracking stuff.  Great response.  Hope I can manage the same if anything Bond-query comes over the 'net-waves.

Back home and dug out the revenge posters. All of the originals including ones from the fan club and sent to theaters have the hair. The bootlegs are a blurry scratched mess. The bootlegs are literally blurred to the point that there is no hair present. IN addition the scratches that you see are actually from the poster they copied printed into the bootleg and not damage to my copies.

Great work.

A hairy S is a solid "yes" but a hairy belt should never be dealt!

No idea but that is a nice poster and possibly a cheaper alternative to a US release (but still in English!)

I am very stoppable these days, until that wedding is paid off few things will get me to bid right now, they need to be on my long term want list or very uncommon before I will even think about it.

I finally own the Star Wars trifecta of French billboards (8 pieces, 118x157in).

Nope and it makes zero sense to me.  Both SW and Jedi 8 panels can be found.  They're not cheap, but they can be found.  The ESB is much, much rarer, both in English or in French.

Here's a picture of the French version.  Identical, but French.

I'm sorry.  Late to the party.  No knowledge of Star Wars posters.

But the ESB is a French billboard - IN English??  But there is also a French Billboard IN French.  Both of which were used and displayed in France?

I just picked up these officially licensed variant poster prints from artist Juan Esteban Rodriguez.  I never buy these types of posters, but this image was really striking to me.  The left had a limited edition run of 75 and the right 225.  I believe they sold out in a matter of minutes.

So.....Which one you like best? Pick..! :)

Like you, I never cared much for these type of posters but APF has opened my eyes (!) . Some are really outstanding. These two are a good example.

Congrats!!!
