Ah yes the Ned's gigs, those were the days. My first broken nose from a stage diver and there were only 50 of us in the room, probably only 15 on in front of the stage.
It was a good shot.

As for custom charges I don't think I have ever had a Mondo tube caught for taxes.

Shot that bolt now haven't I...

the only one i've been caught on was a nakatomi tube also- £5.50ish for VAT and £8 for bloody post office handling- wankers!

and on a different note, is the richard goodall gallery the only UK based poster shop of note? or are there other places to visit?

I can state from personal experience that James' work is top-notch. When funds allow I intend to send my Fairytale your way!

What a bunch of bastards! I get charged for pretty much any tube that is marked with a value of more than about $25. The postal workers in Leeds must be on commission. The thing that gets right on my tits is that £8 handling charge.

£3.89 VAT? Fair enough. But £8 to put a sticker on a tube??? Anyway, rant over.

It's the only one I'm aware of for gig posters. Well worth a visit for a mooch around and when they have signings, but it's pretty expensive.

Haven't got a gallery, but a few online

Go to a few conventions and collector shows around London and Milton Keynes, if you frequent those places?

Our Jack the Ripper posters just turned up, finally got the red to glow in the dark and it glows RED, good job by D&L

Did anyone go for the olly drop on mondo earlier?

atomicdustbin · Thu Feb 03, 2011 3:28 pm

I for one didn't bother as cash is tight at the moment, didn't go for Hellboy either but really loved the Ken Taylor print.
Now wish I'd bought one but don't think I'll feel the same about the Olly Moss posters, if Robocop had been there I would definitely picked up a few prints.

There's a lotta bad teeth up in here.

Yeah, same here. I dropped on the Proctor TMNT print (which i've still not received) and decided to skip Hellboy - although thought bout the Taylor one.

Wall space, it all comes down to wall space......oh and money.

Stout Star Wars arrived, all safe and sound...

They're all great, my first Stouts and the detail is amazing, but does anyone else feel that the red 'Star Wars' lettering really dominates the image?

Everyone else in the UK receive theirs without fees or damage?

Any goods imported into the UK over the value of £18 are liable to import VAT. Gifts between private individuals over the value of £40 are also liable for VAT. Goods and gifts over these values may also be liable for customs duty. You no longer have to pay customs duty for goods up to the value of £135, however you will still be required to pay import VAT and excise duty where applicable.
