Haha. Luke and Leia wrapped in a jedi embrace that looks like a figure eight if you squint just right.kramer73 wrote:that will either be Malleus or Tara McPherson.noeldaddy wrote: "Unwitting Sibling Kiss"

Just thinking.. I'm glad Mondo upped the edition size. It helps proper fans have more chance and it also stops their value in the aftermarket, which will hurt flippers.Good move. Hopefully this is something that they'll do more of.
Kinsey and Hanuka's Star Wars prints have sold for lows of $33 and $26 on eBay, and that's with edition sizes of 350. After market on the Star Wars series isn't out of hand just yet. Maybe they will set the edition sizes on a case by case basis with 350 as the norm, but allowing for larger runs with the big names.DaleCooper wrote:Just thinking..

This has dragged on way to long. Post this damn thing so I can concentrate on work today.

I LOVE this, but I'm not so sure it'll make it up on the wall, so now I'm debating if I'll even buy it. stupid economy!

In all honesty it probably won't make my wall either but I have a strong desire to own any McCarthy I can get my hands on. Especially the ones outside of the sub.

Pretty much my thoughts. That and my current portfolio won't store it as is, so it'd be sitting in a tube for far too long.Mapman wrote:I LOVE this, but I'm not so sure it'll make it up on the wall, so now I'm debating if I'll even buy it. stupid economy!
IMO these SW prints are a little on the large size, which stops them being 'must buy'.

I think you just made up my mind for me. I had every intention of buying this-- absolutely love the image, especially cause it's a subtle way of depicting my favorite movie of all time. But really, I'm only buying prints these days that I'll hang. And there's no way I can hang cold and snow in my house. I need reminders of warmth and beaches and surfing in my life. Plus I could use the extra $65 I'll be saving. So here's 1 less dude fighting for this print. Good luck to the rest of you, I'm leaving this computer and going to enjoy the sunshineMapman wrote:I LOVE this, but I'm not so sure it'll make it up on the wall, so now I'm debating if I'll even buy it. stupid economy!
It will eventually make my wall. But I feel the same I am trying to have a complete McCarthy collection.alteridiom wrote:In all honesty it probably won't make my wall either but I have a strong desire to own any McCarthy I can get my hands on. Especially the ones outside of the sub.
Same fudge, different drop.
I have a frame for it actually, but it's the wife that will poo-poo it going up anywhere else in the house since I have no room in the gig-poster room for this one.
