and then Dredd came up and Looper was taking ages and i thought shall i go for the dredd quickly because the looper might come later.

Then looper came and the page took ages to load haha

Then i put mt Card number in wrong then changed it and it said enter a state lol.

After all that i got it Looper

For the record, Room 237 dropped first, then Judge Dredd, then silver Looper, and then finally gold Looper. It was fun watching them pop-up one after the other, imagining people trying to scramble to get one of each.

I am curious though, those that got a print, did you get it because of the times I guessed that I listed and made sure to be extra-ready starting at 9:01am? Again, just curious, because if so then I would have done my good deed for the day and I am pleased and happy for those who scored.

I was literally staring at my screen for an hour and a half golding Cmd R (Im on a Mac) i had my headphones all the way up and about 5 cokes sitting on my desk.

I am so happy as Looper is a great film and its my first Mondo Print and limited to 320.

What do you guys think about the Looper's?
Personally i think the Gold version is pretty weak...

It was really annoying that the page was so slow.

and 2-3 weeks is also a long time after the massive rush

Well since this was your first time, you did good by managing to get one right off the bat, because a lot of new users don't get one off their first try, second try, third try, etc. The info people here on the forum clearly helped you out so everyone is glad you were able to get a print you have wanted. But since you are new to the Mondo craze, the 2-3 week wait is standard, in fact sometimes it can be longer than that. In the case of these prints, since Mondo already has them since they were sold elsewhere first, they should not take long to ship them out, but sometimes Mondo offers a print that they don't yet have possession of so the wait can be longer than a few weeks. People are used to it, and Mondo does do a great job at packaging, improving over the years by far, and their customer service is quite fast and friendly too.

If you find it annoying that the website was slow and annoying as you put it, welcome to the Mondo-drops. It will only continue to be like that, even worse for prints by Moss, Stout, more Ansin, and others. There will be times when you want to toss your computer out the window out of frustration and anger, we have all been down that road at one point or another over a print drop.

So close to getting a Looper poster...that page was taking ages to load. Ended up settling on the Room 237. I actually liked the artwork on that one more, but I know the Looper one will be worth more money in the future.
Also, my first Mondo poster!

That's so true.

[Woodsy]

Did anyone else here get Room 237?

[Nelfien]

Woodsy - I did not. Just the Looper. It was between Looper and Dredd for me.

Kinsella - I was refreshing it every 2 minutes before 11. When you predicted it at 11-1130ish (my time) I decided to refresh a LOT more often. Many thanks.

I started my refresh dance at 11:00AM EST, same time I start it for every drop I'm interested in.

[CdnBlu]

Congrats to everyone who scored today!

I can predict the drop time for Mondo pretty easily. It's almost always during the 20 minute time it takes for me to commute to work. I think I left home about 4-5 min before the drop today. Granted, I should have been at work already but I was running late as usual. When I'm more on time to get to work, Mondo drops it earlier. Glad I wasn't really looking to get anything that dropped today, although I do like Ansin's work. I have around 8 Mondo posters and had to buy most off the secondary market.

Congrats to those who scored today especially the first timers. If you haven't seen a typical Mondo print in person, you're likely in for a treat when the print arrives. They usually look so much better in person.

It is possible. Remember I posted before that sometimes it can take weeks or longer when Mondo doesn't have the actual prints in-hand meaning they have yet to receive them from their printers, but in the case of these Fantastic Fest prints from today, they have them, and could possible start shipping them very soon. Sounds like they got your order packaged up and it's getting ready to ship.

As Kinsella has outlined the only reason you got a shipping notice is because these prints were already done... and they must have had some spare time because I tell you it doesn't get much fast than that to do the shipping. I will likely get this print before the Back To The Future print I grabbed from them.

Just checking up doing some reading

Seems some of you guys are getting some cool posters/prints ~ Congrats

[Pistol Pete]

I really wanted a Looper print, but they always go on sale while I'm at work where my cell phone gets crappy reception.
