Alamo Drafthouse Posters

Jinx! I owe Bannister a Coke.

I made it to check out - but then it was sold out. Pooey.

I'm surprised these lasted as long as they did--I thought they'd be gone in a minute or less.

Got the main one I wanted but did miss Hellboy. Will have to pick that one up on ebay.

Man, these guys gotta step up their operation. These things are far too popular to continue this course.

They are doing just fine. The last few sales have been the smoothest I have ever seen. The site hasn't crashed or lagged one bit for me. It used to do that in the past, and that was when this stuff was way less popular.

Hopefully, my order for Hellboy II stands. Honestly, I don't trust these guys for this to last. If it gets the axe I will be done with these guys.

system hung up for me. Good thing I had opened in a new tab. Went back to original tab and retried and itwent through, while first attempted tab just kept spinning in lala land.

I am surprised Hellboy sold out before 2, even with the smaller ES.

I guess if you're a flipper then they should stay the course otherwise we'll have to agree to disagree. Site still lagged and thats an issue that should be taken care of. IMO these guys run a second class operation compared to anything else limited/collectible I want to buy.

Crap...
missed them...
their site is worse than Mattel's!!!


Oh well...

 

[icruise]

I think their site is weird in that it can appear to be just fine for some people, and others will have it hang up forever. It's not ideal, but I'm guessing that we won't see anything like the Star Wars craziness for a long time if ever.

No way, not by a long shot. Matty is THE worst, or at least it was until recently.

So I tried that copy/paste trick with my card number. Really sped up the process.

Now, someone please comfort my paranoia. I was in such a flustered hurry, I typed in my authorization code from the back of the card so quickly, I hardly remember doing it at all, let alone checking it. My order was confirmed and my bank account is now pending the total amount. What I'm asking, is there's no way my order would have gone through if I had screwed up the number on the back of the card, right? The confirmation email and pending charge mean I got these locked down, yeah?

Hellboy II already sold on eBay for $148. As long as people can make a quick buck like that, there will be competition for these posters.

You would go nuts if you had to deal with some of the print sales from other artists. These sales are cake compared to some of the stuff I have seen with artists like Shepard Fairey or when Stout used to sell stuff through his site and not by lottery. Numerous site crashes and oversells all the time.

I think you're OK if you have a confirmation number, pending charge and e-mail. Congrats!

Thats what I'm talking about if they're going to keep the ES this low for things then they gotta work on servers or something that keep the site running smoother. The problem is besides the flippers that knew about it before SW has brought in more and will always make it harder to get things.

I have no doubts my HBII poster order will get the axe.

The only time I've been able to purchase directly from Stout was when he sold his Iron Man II. Every lottery since then has been a failure for me.

Yeah, those would probably irritate me a bit for sure and push me away from buying stuff like this. These may be easier than those but its not an excuse for a second rate operation.

If you saw this place in person, you would probably laugh that they sell as many posters as they do. It is literally a corner of the lobby in a movie theatre. That is it. For what they are, I think they do extremely well.
