Most effective Plex yet in my opinion. Looks amazing. The M, I, E thing is odd though.

Also, would have looked cool if the “Star” and “Wars” could have moved laterally inward on the main logo at the bottom of the English ones.
Eh don’t go by the digital image. We just do the best to convey it. What is cool though is that they are basically fighting

These are great Joe. Are the light boxes limited or will you be restocking them regularly? Hoping to get one of each size, though maybe not all at once.

Have a couple double sided LOTR that I haven't had up in years. Good reason to break those back out.

We only made a limited amount to test the waters but yea def will keep stocking like the portfolios. Hopefully they do well. Took us like a year to get it right

It would be good to make sure there's nothing in the digital image that looks obviously strange, though. :)

I was hoping that was all it was. Cool. And I did notice the fighting. I think all the movement on the Plex version came out great, but I particularly like the green laser blasts in front of the TIE Fighters . Great job!

Is the acrylic front and back or just front? How does the light source work as far as changing bulbs?

Also, I really wish the reg Empire was less expensive. I really like the snow coloring on the reg but the variant is tempting at the same price :o ! I managed to hold off on the paper version thinking I would never hang it with the Stouts taking up space, but damn it if this drymounting thing has me back in :roll:

Edit: I'm fairly certain at this point that BNG will deliver something I like, but I really wish I'd received at least one of the other lenticulars I've ordered before ordering another. At the same time, I'm a little surprised I didn't receive a preorder offer. I don't know what I want. :?

YAY. Got a Plex. Thanks for the opportunity to pick one up without any sweat BNG.
On a sad note, when a logged in, my cart still had the Foil Vacation I couldn't close the deal on yesterday LOL. :(
Oh man, there was a presale? Lucky.... :o

I’ve got TDK and Jaws plexes, hoping to add one of these too.

So the email says the 24x36 frames are for the PLEX lenticulars but I assume they'll work fine with the regular lenticulars as well? Hoping to use this with the regular 1mm 2001 .

Most lenticulars outside here are bigger.

did I misread the lightbox frame price when it was up with Empire? Maybe I was seeing things, was it a product launch deal?
