Hello UK friends! If any of you fine collector's have any Richey Beckett pieces you're looking to sell/trade/exchange for PB services in Austin, TX, please PM me. Hoping to land some of his older stuff that's hard to find stateside. Thanks for the assist!

What am i missing ?

The Inside Out Disney thing?

Nope. Don't get it. I quite like the simplicity of it, but my tastes are out of synch with this forum 98% of the time to be honest. And that's alright by me.

Yeah its not arrived yet but shipped pretty quick. I'd be happy with some Drake but some of the ones I've seen show up have been poodoo, which is disheartening but does make it more likely mine could be good...

@RImmer - Given what everyone has been displaying in the HCG thread, I will not hold my breath on anything decent (not that I expected anything decent)

@scobro - My tube arrived today. Didn't get any update info from entering the UK to delivery.

I got my tube from hcg today in the netherlands. Got a 1/1 fett and 3 other crap prints. The Fett is pretty cool, but not sure i would do it again.

Most mystery tube sales are thinly veiled schemes to get rid of stock no one wants so I'm not surprised they're turning out to be pretty underwhelming.

The only mystery tube sales I've seen done with the right intentions are Landland's. The rest seem pretty cynical.

Yeah that's exactly what this feels like. Apart from the Fett the prints I got are absolute garbage, well to me that is.

Anyone going for the Eelus tomorrow?

I've bought from graffiti prints before, no issues.

Inside Out is meant to be one of Pixar's best, so that may in part explain the popularity. The number of colours is apparently due to the artwork originally being produced for the French theatrical release posters, and not intended for screen printing. I bought one, as I'm a big Pixar fan, and I like the style of the poster.

Ah. I sent them a message on the weekend from the contact form on their site. No reply so far.
