I say we do just that, everyone gets ONE guess in the form of a posting here on the thread, all they have to do is put whatever they think the number will be, whomever is closest will get bragging rights (for what good that is). Hopefully Mondo announces what the print run comes too after Wednesday. This would just be for the standard, not the variant or any artist proofs they make, etc.

My guess will be the final print run for the standard release will be 1263 copies.

I really want to guess under 2k, but with Moss' last timed release being only an hour and selling almost 2k copies I've got to think this will be over 2k. I'm going to go with 2323.

Re: Shipping
I was reading a forum on expressobeans this morning which would indicate to me that they also ship to the UK. Although I can't confirm overseas through my own expereince I'm confident enough to say they offer it.

True, my number could be way off and too low, but I guess I can't change it now. It seems a lot of the posts I have read people are saying "It's ugly" or "I don't care for it" so I have to assume those people wouldn't be buying one. I actually like it, it's a simple design, but I think it has an art deco look to it. You probably are right, it could topple 2000 copies.

I wonder if Mondo changed and started offering international shipping, I mean I thought they did for non-print items, but for prints I thought it was basically domestic shipping only. Maybe they do offer it now though.

Under that logic then, someone will more than likely bet 1....as in $1.

I don't recall seeing this link here... A pretty recent Q&A with Tyler Stout, it's a quick read.

Allforce · 07-17-2012, 02:14 AM

I'm gonna go with 4602 as my guess on the Moss print run.

grooveska · 07-17-2012, 02:28 AM

I'm guessing 1897.

Adam_WM · 07-17-2012, 02:30 AM

I'll go with 2102.

Adam_WM · 07-17-2012, 02:38 AM

Wow, somebody is pre-selling the print on ebay and people are paying nearly 4x the order price... don't they realize they can just buy it on their own for $40 on Wednesday?

I suppose anyone selfish enough to do this is also capable of shilling their own auction, so maybe no one is getting screwed. Let's think positive

Hopefully no one here falls for any of that on eBay. It's one thing to resell a print for a profit after the fact, but doing so before it's even gone on sale, is really low. Everyone and anyone will have a chance to buy it for a 24-hour period for $40 but these sellers on eBay are catering to those who don't know any better, and trust me there are a ton of people out there.

AFTER the print sells out, if people want to resell them for a profit, I have no problem with it, more power to them, but AFTER the fact, not BEFORE.

So true, these ones that are selling could be the sellers under other accounts trying to create a price point so other people panic and start buying them. Good point Roar.

orbital · 07-17-2012, 10:32 AM

As for the Moss print run, I go with 2742.

Genesisfury · 07-17-2012, 10:59 AM

Sent off a message to Mondo through their 'contact' link on the site asking if they can ship to Australia. I really hope they do.

househead · 07-17-2012, 02:08 PM

I'm going high on my guess. 5000 dark knight posters for the timed release. Go big or go home! LOL

Genesisfury · 07-17-2012, 04:02 PM

Got a reply from Mondo. They do ship to AUS and they say "All international shipping is $25". I think I'll be getting 2.

An article was posted on IGN about the sale of this poster too which, personally, I hate. Expect that to influence the sales.

I don't like the advertising of it because I think it devalues the posters and makes them less special.

NARMAK · 07-17-2012, 04:58 PM

The post right above yours would seem to indicate that they do.
