That is what everyone keeps saying, but you never know.

And I don't think the mystery poster would go until Friday at the earliest, since people won't know what movie it is until it actually starts playing. So I don't see them even revealing the poster online until late Thursday or early Friday. I can't recall, but did they ever say the mystery posters will even be sold online? I almost thought it was just for those at the movie.

I am going and yes it is only for those there. They said any left over go into the vault.
 
LUCKY! In that case, get one at any cost, even if you have to kill somone.
I saw a post on expressobeans saying everybody there will have a chance to buy one. I think they realized how foolish they would be if some people got to go to the screening but didn't get a poster. They would have never heard the end of it. People are already pre-_____ing about not getting Scream and NOES.:lol
 
I would definitely be interested in the NOES, but know my chances are nil. I really should drop my subscription to this thread, because it only causes me undue stress when I see a poster I want and know I can't score it, and am unwilling to pay high flipper prices the same day. But I can't rip myself away and am always happy to see the sweet art and read the stories of you veterans picking up so much great art posters.

Oh well...

If you wait a few weeks, the prices usually die down. You will still pay over, but nothing insane unless it is something like a Moss or Stout. You just have to be a little patient.

Yeah, the prices drop considerably 3 weeks after, just in time for the posters to actually ship.

In any case, I can't say I'm a huge fan of either of these posters. Personally, I buy Alamo posters under the assumption that I'm gonna frame them and hang them up. I can't see myself doing that for either of these posters, especially the Scream one. I'm just not one for blood and guts in my art. Personally, I'm hoping that we see a poster for A New Nightmare, as I'd love to get SOME sort of Nightmare movie, and seeing that it was the only other Nightmare that Wes directed...
 
My wife got me these for my birthday today...going to frame them this weekend. Can't wait to hang them, was really upset when I missed out on them when they first went on sale.

I think I have decided to not go for the nightmare poster. I already have their other nightmare poster and do not need another. I do still want to shoot for their Scream poster though.
 
Couldn't have gotten these guys even if I did want them. People thought the Kill Bill posters went up strangely early, but these went up a half hour earlier than those! Now I have to be prepared for posters I want EVEN EARLIER. The time block keeps getting bigger...
 
When the hell will the Sideshow exclusive offerings begin?

Well they do keep hinting at them, so sooner or later I guess, but they never gave any dates. And I'm pretty sure there are only exclusives for the Disney posters, because I believe the partnership only hinges upon the Disney license.

They used to release posters at 2-3 in the morning. I got Inglourious Basterds that way. I just happened to be up for that one. It used to be pretty common for them. I am surprised they have been going earlier, given how early it is on the West Coast. I just love these releases now though. All the entitled people _____ing about missing out. The comments on their facebook page are hilarious. All people do is whine about flippers and ebay.:lol

I've only been in the Alamo game for 5 or 6 months, so I'm a NOOOOOB compared to a lot of people here. Man, I didn't know posters went up that early before. But I'm sure that the posters also stayed up longer too, now that the secret of Mondo has spread like wildfire.

The first time I felt jipped by Mondo was when the Tron posters came up. I had problems with their system. What happend was that I had them in the cart, then went throught the checkout, but one or two steps in, my cart was empty. I go back to the product page, and they are still for sale, so I put them back in. Step or two later....poof. Gone. I did this like 2 more times, then they were sold out. I was pretty furious. People had meltdowns on their blog, and things got pretty heated. I realized pretty quick that "crap happens." I sent a message to Mondo, but unlike all the other people in the blog and stuff, I was very kind and understanding about mine and their predicament, and simply asked if they could put me down for the 2 Tron posters if anyone happend to cancel. Lo and behold, they got me a pair. And I probably got them because they were happy to see someone not _____ing them out. So I can understand why these people are upset at Mondo and scalpers for not getting a print, but holding it against Mondo is just nonsense.

Really, the only alternative to having people buy to resell these at a profit, is to take away the profitability and thus the collectaibility, by mass producing them rather than limiting the edition. A choice of two evils. Personally, I prefer it to be limited and accept there will be profiteers. Keeps the posters special.
