You can always contact a seller and see if they relist it or maybe purchase it off eBay for less than the original starting bid, but then you aren't protected by eBay, but at the same time, would be protected with Paypal.

Finally opened my dark knight print and my number was 754, so I guess they just sent these out randomly because I did not order until later on in the night. Also no surprise but no gold ticket here either.

Yeah I couldn't find that ROTK artwork anywhere at all. And the coloring on the posters seems a little different than on the Blu-ray covers, but I prefer the covers (although I would obviously prefer it without the "5-disc extended edition" verbiage. Really hope I can find all three of these.

How's the glow-in-dark ink look on that one in person?

16x24 isn't common, I looked all over yesterday for one. i actually have a ton of 16x24 prints frames in my room that I custom ordered but they're being used by newspapers

Thanks allforce. That's kind of what I was afraid. At least 16x24 isn't a huge size to have a custom one made for.

For those looking for reprints, and don't want to spend the money on originals, that is a good deal. Thanks for posting that, as I am sure there are some here who are fine with reproductions.

To those of you who received your Mondo Batman TDKR prints, did you receive a shipping notification?

Still waiting on mine and the one my folks ordered for me (which is being shipped to their house)... one of which will be framed and given away as a raffle prize at my event.

[CdnBlu]

Definitely no confirmation email on my end. Though I'm not surprised. I didn't get one for my Stout Avenger's or my Nightmare before Christmas posters.

Though when I log in, the website shows the poster has been shipped. I have a feeling it will arrive this week. Thursday is my bet?

I too have noticed that there are times when I wont get a confirmation either but logging into their site would show it's status, etc.

Good to know, mine doesn't say shipping yet... but I'll keep my eyes on it

[TheCollector]

My poster arrived on Sat. and I never received a shipping confirmation. Just log into your account on Mondo and it should say if it has shipped or not. There should also be a link you can click on for tracking info.

[Adam_WM]

Not shipped yet for me.

Kinsella - do they ever make any double-sided reprints, or are they mostly one-sided? I was always under the impression they don't really do DS for reprints. One-sided reprints would of course not be suitable for lightboxes...

To my knowledge movie studios do not print up double-sided reproductions, those are generally made by people who want to capitalize on a poster's popularity by printing them up themselves and hoping the average collector won't notice. There are some really good quality double-sided bootlegs out there but ultimately there are differences that serious collectors can spot between an original and a reprint, but the person new to the hobby wouldn't even know. I have seen poster dealers who shall remain nameless but not too difficult to figure out, sell double-sided reprints on their website. Some actually openly admit to selling them, while others don't. There are a lot of the Spider-Man recalled WTC advance fakes out there that are double-sided, The Dark Knight advance style "B" Joker ones, Twilight ones, etc.

The double-sided originals nowadays are easier to spot because the studios all have made it so the backside of the poster is actually lighter than the front. While still double-sided, the color consistency on the backside is a faded/lighter back when compared the front. Some more noticeably than others. For example, when it came to the Dark Knight movie posters, the first two styles released (advances "A" and "B") which came out in late 2007 were the same color consistency on the backside as they were on the front, many other movie posters were as well. But then when the two final styles came out in March 2008, they were some of the first from that studio to feature the lighter backsides to them.

Remember not everyone in the poster industry cares about collectors or being honest, that is how it is with any collectible, there are some who don't care who they scam, they just are in it for the money. Knock off shoes, women's handbags, you know it, pretty much everything that is considered a collectible will have counterfiets as well.

In the deals forum someone shared a link with a section of originals. But their prices seem way off from movieposeters.com and the guy I've bought from on ebay for years. The hard to find stuff seems to be priced way too good to be true where the common every day poster I've seen for $5 they want $25+ for. Is this place to be trusted for originals? Anyone buy from them before?

If you haven't seen the Mondo release for tomorrow yet, it's my absolutely favorite of the year... Goonies by Randy Ortiz - hopefully I can snag one for once in my life!

The print is not as nice as I was hoping for. The left side is quite faded.

From what I've read Mondo will send you a replacement if you contact them. They won't send out the replacements until the initial orders have been shipped, but they are at least recognizing that there are some issues with some of the prints.
