Reached out to Nautilus yesterday because my shipping hasn't updated at all. Jack said that the artwork won't start shipping till next week. Guess they just made up the labels. Anyway, that's the story.

Pretty sure Laurent mentioned that the dispatch emails are automated and not reflective of the items actually dispatching. I imagine the tracking details will update when you check the order status via your email. When though? who knows.

I'm a huge LD fan, but I think those BLADE RUNNER prints - all 3 of them - are hideous. His DRIVE was a whiff too.

I think all 3 BR prints are solid, if not mindblowing. They're all hurt by not being allowed to have a full credits block on them.

Despite my distaste for them, I’m glad others enjoy them and are able to get them in timed fashion. BLADE RUNNER has never been one of my favorites anyway, so I’m not heart broken that these missed the mark. For me, when LD hits he REALLY hits but anything that isn’t a slam dunk is usually really not good. My days of being a completist are long over so the whiffs are always a welcome reprieve. (Though I’ll admit the hits have been few and far between for me lately.)
How long ago was it that he had that big show? Feels like not that long ago, but I am sure it’s probably been many years. There were some really good picks in that.

I personally love them but will admit they aren’t up there with his best work, even though they are all really growing on me which is typically a sign of good design. I just feel like nobody displays his elegance or intelligence in the scene which makes the purchases an even easier decision. The release blog by BNG referred to him as a ‘legendary artist’ and I have to say he’s probably earned that title by now.
Photos online never do justice to the finsihed article especially when it comes to LD. I remember when Die Hard came out and thinking meh, but then I saw the variant at his show in Belgium and was blown away. I have feeling it may be the same for some, if not all, of these BR prints.
