You need to post your trade offer in the sale/trade section of the forum. But also, the general guidelines (rules) of the forum are you are a member for atleast 30 days before posting in the sale/trade forum.

So, I just came back from a Halloween party. Did I miss anything? Who did the print?

At least my wife wins, and I picked up my Pan's from the framer finally (conveniently located next to the florist) ... so I guess I win too.
I've supported Sideshow for years, but today was a disaster. Couldn't complete a transaction via desktop, laptop, iPad, iPhone or direct call to customer service. I couldn't believe how bad the site crashed, and even when they Tweeted that it was up and running again, I still couldn't get it to load. It was just so frustrating, and between this and Jurassic Park, I'm coming away empty handed this week and it's not a great feeling.

Congrats to those of you who got through one way or another.

I 2nd the sideshow disaster!!! I hit refresh and reload so many times after adding Monsters Inc to my cart. Was hoping to get one for my kids, but after 10 minutes when the site finally loaded, the button had converted to the dreaded "waitlist." D'oh!

It seems like Mondo had gotten into the habit of dropping at 9am PST, so I too was caught off guard by the 8am drop. I had to pay dearly through ebay for a jurassic park variant, but I'm still excited to get it and to see it in real life.

Just wanted to mention my experience because sometimes misery loves company

Which artist did the Shining Poster?

so, why was a Shining poster available and what was the artist going for?

I'd assume leftovers from an event that fell through based on the date at the bottom.

First poster was up on eBay before we were even out of the building, pretty disgusting if you ask me. One person was with a group of 35, many of which I speculate had no interest in the movie but were there as part of a cash in.

Overall a great event and really well planned out.

I think you're talking about Roman and those people were all there to poster buddy for people on the board, so don't knock him. He's a stand up dude and regardless of if his family enjoyed it they should be commended for coming out and helping out all the ebeaners who couldn't make it.

I'm so spoiled by watching movies at the Alamo that trekking to a mall with folding chairs and without waitstaff seems like cruel and unusual punishment

You mean I have to go get pizza MYSELF? The horror!

But all in all, a third unforgettable night at the MMM for me. It's always worth fighting for the ticket drop, and waiting a few hours in line.
