Shaun of the Dead is I think the best Stout since maybe kill bill.

though Attack the Block is up there

I'm excited to see the SotD, the Attack the Block is still reasonable out there and I've debated grabbing it a few times. I may have to get it and put it up next to SotD if I end up keeping it. Looks amazing from the pictures, this is my first Stout as well.

Yeah, Attack the Block is so great. I picked Drive when I won the lottery and went back to grab the Block regular when I saw that Tyler gave everyone a second chance for the leftovers. It sold out as I was making my way through PayPal and I felt sadness.

Ugh. Congrats! So jealous! This is the first Stout that I have really really wanted since I started this hobby. :(

I still love my Attack the Block, but SotD is one of my favorite movies ever. I'll most likely end up paying for the variant sometime here in the future.

Get it sooner than later. Even with the high run, I think this one will become pretty valuable somewhat quickly.
 
Attack the Block is so friggin good. Thank you to all the people who didn't watch the movie that made it possible for me to get the poster so easily!

I stupidly checked out the movie the day after his lotto. Didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did. Same reason I didn't buy any Pacific Rim prints yet because I have yet to see the movie.

So I just did a second order from Bottleneck because I ended up deciding to complete a set. I already sent them an email asking to combine orders for shipping, but then I was wondering if they could give me the same numbers on the set prints. Do they do those types of requests? I thought I remember some people discussing that here, but I couldn't remember if it was for a different gallery.

Edit: They replied and said that they always try to give matching numbers when people order sets. <3

Mr Onion

To get 2/3 of the prints I wanted isn't that bad. Wanna trade Mr Onion for Fox and Ellie + Joel if it's possible. haha.

Hey Guys.

I live in Sweden.
Just dropped a 24 x 36 poster to my local framer.
Steel frame, regular glass, and no passpartou.

She wanted 202 dollars for the job.
Reasonable?

Man, things are super expensive here in Sweden *sigh*

Well that doesn't seem horrible for a custom job, are they using a stock frame and just matting, how elaborate is it going to be? That's a common size frame you could do it yourself if your just throwing it in with no mats etc.

Nah, we don´t have frames in 24x36 here in Sweden, so she will have to customize it for me.
No matting tho...


edit:

Picked up my Shaun of the Dead regular.
Gonna frame it and my Jaws poster on tuesday ^^

thats not bad at all. It's even more around here. I can't afford that much for any custom frames. I just don't love my prints enough to drop that much for them, tbh. Even my Olly stuff is in frames I buy from Amazon lol

I still don't know how to frame the Moss Heroes prints. Target has 5x5 black frames but they aren't great.

Didn't someone here get frames from IKEA with matting? Are those up online to buy? IKEA's shipping prices usually suck though.

Hmm.

Amazon has 5x5 frames from Craig Frames. I bought it for my Pokemon print and it fits perfectly. No mat tho. I don't care about that.

Well not a bad deal then if it's a irregular size for you guys. Post a picture when it's done!

Anyone here knows a bit about framing? As I said before, my framer is a very nice guy that has been in the business for about 40 years but unfortunately he has no idea what a spacer is. May be simply a language barrier issue.

When I asked about passpartou for protection, he said the white part of the print works as one already.
Since I intend to start framing some more expensive prints, I thought it better to make sure I am not screwing anything up and ask for some opinions here.

I actually removed one from the frame to put some pics. There is no taping involved. It's just the frame, the print inside and then the glass.

The Ikea frames have a big matte. The actual size of the frame is quite a bit bigger than the 5x5 window. I like em but they're *very* deep as a word of warning.

Wut.

That may be the case with certain kind of prints like lithos, perhaps, but with screen prints, it's pretty important to try to keep it off the glass if you want to conserve it. I didn't do that on my 13 assassin's print, and haven't seen any problems, but it's more about a longevity vs. environment type issue.

I had a question for you guys.. Would any of you be interested in random poster swaps?

It would be like where you get randomly paired with someone and send each a couple posters (Does not have to be a print but should be game related).
I have some really great low-cost lithograph stuff, I just feel they are better suited in the hands of others who would really enjoy them.

Thanks! His reply regarding the passpartout made me suspicious.
Thankfully I never framed anything expensive with him.

I used the IKEA frame and it does come with matting that is quite big so it you can easily cheat the photo into position. If I remember correctly, there's a bit more vertically that's covered by the matting than horizontally but the frame's matting makes it look perfect.

The frame is more of a window box so you have to take the depth of the frame into consideration too. I like having all that space between the glass and print, but not everyone will like that.

So went to Michaels today just to get some plexi and foam board to frame up something and saw these for the Moss Heroes/Villains. It's a 8x8 with a double mat for the 5x5. Took a few pictures so you guys to see the backing etc. The best thing is they are on sale BOGO this week. Total with tax for two of them was about $18. Going back tomorrow to grab two more that will get most of what I want framed right now. Put a small piece of linen archival tape to hold it to the mat and a small piece of tissue paper behind the print to keep it off the backing. No way to use foam board on this one have to use their backing.

No Blind Box(es) yet for me. I hope they come in tomorrow so I can at least inspect them/take pictures. I'm heading to Seattle on Sunday and won't be back until Saturday. If they don't come in tomorrow, it'll be even worse if they come in the week I'm gone and I won't be able to see what I got/start trading.

This looks great! I think I'll have to steal this idea from you and do the same.

Was also thinking after taking it apart the bottom mat wouldn't be very difficult to take off and get a new one in a different color. Might try that as well mat board that small is really cheap. I went back this afternoon and picked up 2 more so will get them framed tomorrow or later tonight now.

just won the SotC Olly print on eBay. Haven't sniped in a while but this was perfect timing for me. Two Villains prints I really wanted are mine. ^^

I was actually planning to snipe that, but backed out when I saw two other people doing the same (a bit too early..which one of you did it at like 2:30 to go instead of at like 30 secs to go?) and backed off :p

Enjoy.

I respect that you know how sniping works. Sellers will start the bidding on something with no reserve, and then people with no sense will inflate the price for everyone by bidding in the days leading up to the auction being over, or doing so with an hour to go as if no one else is going to notice. There's always going to be someone coming in at 8 seconds left, and the people coming in at 30 seconds are completely oblivious to this fact.

At least they aren't the guys putting up the Spirited Away regular editions for $200-$300 over and over with no bids and then rejecting all offers though. Those guys are the worst.

I realize they're just really, really patient/ I'm just salty

yea, i usually have a max price in mind and if i plan on sniping, i'll use that amount and if i don't win then so be it. it prevents me from paying more than i want for something. it was less than the BINs on eBay right now so i'm happy. ^^

Thats the way to do it people who are driving bids up 3-4 days before it ends are just ass hats.

The people fighting each other over Tingle made me laugh. It probably would have went for half as much if everyone had just waited, but no. The same goes for the Aerith that's currently in the low 100's with almost two days left to go.

Everyone should do this.

The more power to you if you can hang those porn card ones up in your house lol. Did they print more of those or did they not sell very well at the 8bit show in June?

I noticed that the F'ing Water Temple is sold out already. Glad I got that one! Definitely one of the best ones there.

Noticed that to, it was one of the ones I almost bought. If anyone missed it you can get a copy from Kim directly but the stuff at the show was higher quality, numbered and stamped. She has some other amazing stuff though.
