Mondotees/Alamo Poster News & Rumors thread

[noeldaddy]

Bad thing is that there are only 6 Star Wars posters...and 3 we have already seen.

I didn't know that. It's confirmed that the SW run is 6?

Obviously, that would suck--so I asked Justin about this specifically when I talked with him at the Rolling Roadshow.

In short, don't believe everything you read. Take that with however many grains of salt your doctor recommends.

Dude what is with all the secrecy? Did Justin make you swear not to tell anyone anything? Now, I can see your point of view on not naming the artist, cause you're worried all the Danger/Stout/whoever fans will snatch it up before you (however I think the hype is far worse now with this print because now you've got everyone's fans checking instead of just one artist's fans)... But holding out on how many SW posters there are? What's the point of that? Just share some info if you know something.

Well, lunch is over, so unless they are going to go against everything they have done in the past (which is certainly Possible), this will be tom...

Wtf is an irritated Acme?

What have I missed? What was said that makes everyone certain that a SW print is dropping today? Is it news or rumor?

Not trying to be overly secretive, just accurate. I don't have anything specific to tell you about numbers. If he told me how many posters there were going to be, I would share that. I wasn't keeping a transcript of my conversation so I've got to be careful about misrepresenting him or saying something that could be misleading to you all. But the impression I got was that the Acme issue wasn't an issue, and that if he has his way, the series will go on for a long time. He obviously isn't going to get into business specifics, but I can tell you that the feeling I got after chatting about it was that they won't be capped at six.

I'm assuming they mean the company/site that sells tons of star wars, etc. Prints.

This is dumb. Someone spill the drymounting beans on this thing.

Sounds good. Sorry if I came off a little testy, all this waiting is getting frustrating! Plus I'm leaving soon to drive down to Philly for the roadshow so I'm extra antsy

I own the 3 Sam Fout animated looking Gangster Star Wars pieces. Love 'em. 90% of the stuff doesn't really grab me so much, but there are a couple of pieces I might pick up during another sale. I'd love the McQuarrie Fett. Nothing they do really seems to move very fast.

So this is going up tomorrow, right? I slept in.

[dylansdad]

I don't know anything with 100% certainty, which is another excellent reason not to be too specific. If I go around putting words in Justin's mouth and things don't go as planned, it's just going to irritate people. I just wanted to be vague enough not to mislead anyone, but also let people know that I think the next poster will be worth picking up.

Heck, maybe the one I'm expecting got delayed and we will be getting something else instead. But I will throw some of you a bone and say that Danger is not the one I'm waiting for this week.

if justin didnt tell him not to say anything, im gonna guess this or he just likes being that guy who knows something others dont

Off topic but for all you McCarthy fans out there I really can't say anything other than look for something new the first week of September. Can't take it any further than that. Sorry.
