So far the only quads I have seen are the ones that were used at the SW convention in the UK. There are a couple of sellers that have been printing a quad size which seem to come and go.

Interesting twist on yours, it does not say December and instead says "In Cinemas Soon". Wonder if it was changed for some reason or there is another printing for another purpose. Is yours a US one sheet? Is it double sided?

Interesting.

Yes it's double sided, and is the U.K. 1sht version. It's due for release in December, but I guess it may change hence the coming soon??

I think Paul is teasing us with these new posters and holding back the golden oldie rarities he is known for.
Probably doing it for effect...

Quit toying with us Waines!
 

Haven't had many older ones of late Ted, and these new ones are pennies. The older ones I have had I'm saving up for the website..

Aha.
There is a method to your madness.

BTW, the London Has Fallen art is cool.
Good catches all.
 

[paul waines]

Sure is...


I do like a good disaster movie, the big Ben one's quite the ticket...

It is a roughly 1:1 uncropped copy of the original artwork with some color modification. It is overall darker than the original art.

Very impressive indeed.

Very, very common for english language international Advance posters to state Coming Soon or In Cinemas Soon versus a date, in fact I would bet 90%+ now are worded that way. Quick tell on whether is is a domestic(US) vs. international poster you are looking at.

Mike, is the sky color on yours that much more orange (in addition to being overall more dark) than the original art?

Or is it more the pic image file and lighting?

[eatbrie]

The color is more orange on the posters.  Here's a pic of my A0 for comparison purpose.

Thanks, T.

So it was some kind of pre-print run choice/decision, to do it in more the orange-y shade. Got it.

What he said. Looks good T, did it just arrive?

No, it's Adams picture.  I was fighting him on the FedEx fees, so it's going to take longer.

[Undead]

Ah, they wanted to charge you something high? I will have to check, forgot what they charged me but do not think it was that bad.

Very nice wins, y'all.

I scored this Close Encounters Hungarian A2:

The shipping from Hungary wasn't cheap for the A2 that I won (about $50 via FedEx), so I can't imagine what the shipping would cost for an A0.  It arrived darn quick, though.  He sent it last Tuesday and I received it two days later, and in near mint condition.  They even included a nice certificate.  Although it's not perfect provenance, like for a painting, it's a neat memento.

Awesome piece NEO, congrats on finally landing the CE poster.

[erik1925]

Beautiful poster there, Brandon!!

Wow... Congrats on the win!!

 

[eatbrie]

Yeah, they also charged me $50, which to me seems crazy money.  So I complained.  I don't care when things arrive.  This month, next month, it doesn't make a difference to me.  But Adam said that it could get lost, so I caved.

And Brandon, great poster indeed.  The best for Close Encounters.

only collectors will spend $5000 on something and then complain about the shipping costs......

it's like some of my poker friends.. they'll happily sit down with a couple thousand cash (or very much more) to play a game, but they won't spend $25 on a good dinner.

It's all about priorities, Rich, and I hate overspending on shipping.  I will simply not buy posters if I feel shipping is too high.

Might i remind you Brie, all of mine are free shipping

I love this. All of it. Congrats!!

I've wanted this for so long!  I Had a chance to buy one on the cheap one time but was COMPLETELY flat broke.  Damn.  It's one of my favorite Bava movies to watch as well.

Ah!  Show me something of interest and I'll buy.
