Thanks! Other than Good/Evil this was the one that spoke Futurama to me the most!!
I have to agree, that was one of the best episodes. The wooden was definitely the best hpm.
Agreed. Gonzo got to it before I could
I also got a shipping notice for the regular already which is awesome.

Funny how I thought zinc would be more popular then maroon.
Not many more maroons left. Zinc isn't far behind.

1. I didn't put a price on it or message 50 people looking to buy like like the 50 I got for Lora Zombie's Stay Puft print the opening nite in CA. I messaged one person who clearly is a huge fan.
2. There were 3 I really wanted. Never would've considered getting rid of. Didn't get one of em. One left available. I would've kicked myself for months not buying it.
3. There isn't a print on the top of my favorite list that I didn't pay more than original cost. Drops are nearly impossible. It's the cost of obtaining something you really want that has a high demand.
4. I'm not looking to insta-flip. I could keep this forever and be happy. I'm more interested in using it as trade or PB.
5. If it weren't me it would've been someone else.
6. The complainers are always gonna complain. I didn't get a Englert Star Wars on drop but I didn't cry about it when there were 20 on eBay.
Summary. I love it. I'd love to keep it but if someone wants to hook me up for a future show, offer me an obscene amount of cash or a trade for my ISO then it can be theirs.
TL DR, no one cares noob, it was funny and ironic.

zinc is the better one by far. i would assume the maroon is selling faster due to those trying to match background colors with the previous releases.

i wanted zinc originally... but opted for maroon last minute because i felt it has better contrast and makes the subject stand out more...
without being able to see the prints in person, i worry the grey on grey could look a little blah on the wall...

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but is the zinc metallic at all? Or are they both metallic? Bender seems like a good choices for some shiny metals.

I was the same way. It took me a while to decide but i chose maroon because of the color of the smoke. My HPM picks were snatched up quickly and congrats to those that got what they wanted
to keep
I would argue that but I am a lazy, lazy man.- Maden

I actually went the other way because of the smoke. I did like the maroon because I think the image pops more against it, but I preferred the white smoke, so I went with the zinc. Plus my wife liked the zinc more...so that pretty much made the decision.

I bought the zinc and minutes later regretted not buying the maroon. Now I'm trying to convince myself I wanted the Zinc.... I was after Baby Bender, was in the cart, but not quick enough (also I have my first actual baby due June 23rd and am probably shouldn't be spending $160 on a print.) I bought this, Sentinel, Ghost Rider, and Weapon X from the Mondo Mike Mitchell show in the past few weeks....really gotta back off here soon, or sell something

Famous last words. I've heard this story a few times. It's an addiction.

Also, the ceiling is like a 5th wall in every room and that square footage needs to be exploited as well.
