Mondo is hinting at a huge release on Friday. Likely Tron. I think it'll be Tyler Stout Tron cause he said he has a poster that involves lasers.
mondo's site crashed on me. I clicked on it the moment it went up too. I've been missing since Totoro. Grrr.
I realize that bitching about the way Mondo creates and distributes limited edition posters is not going to change anything and is beside the point in this thread. However, I checked their Twitter feed earlier today and saw that the time difference between "Tron is up!" and "Tron is sold out!" was three minutes. Mondo creates some incredible posters and I'm going to be sad when I almost certainly fail to snag their Porco Rosso poster in time, but I'm not sure it's really worth the effort of throwing yourself against that particular wall when you have 180 seconds to try to get through the checkout process once you get the for sale tweet. Obviously things are only that bad for very hot posters and there are some of their posters you don't have to try to pounce on instantly to obtain, but that's still moderately insane and it's not like their less-than-insanely-popular posters are generally available for even an hour at a time.

I am hurting for money right now but couldn't pass up getting a Mondo poster for Drive. It will be exclusive to the showing next Tuesday as far as I know.
I'll have an extra which I'll be happy to sell to a fellow GAFfer at a reasonable rate (would like to cover my costs or come close to it) before posting on eBay. I'll let y'all know what it looks like once it has been unveiled. It may just be one of the ones they've already done.
Prolly this one:
lol, sold out.
Looks like you could only get them as a set.
I really would have like the ESCAPE or CONQUEST ones.
never bought anything from postersandtoys before. Any advice on how Moss's The Bat is going to drop and the steps to buy it.
The Bat is up super early! http://www.postersandtoys.net/servlet/Detail?no=1206

most don't wait for the tweet, there are some browser apps/plugins to assist you in knowing when these things go on sale. pretty much why the same people are always able to get what they want.
that said, i really wish they'd switch to a lottery system at this point. they're popular enough for it. only taking lottery entries for 5-10 minutes or 4x the entries as posters available would still lend itself to the 'hardcore', they'd still get their money and it'd be much less server load not having to verify credit cards, etc
LOL Mario Bros.

No Fortress for me =(
I really liked Iron Jaiden's Videodrome and 0000 prints, but I try to only buy prints for movies that I'm really into and I can't seem to rent Kill List from anywhere in Canada.
