Trust me, while it's still difficult to get one, it's not nearly as bad now as it used to be, a few years back the servers would literally crash. I don't spend my time F5'ing like a lot of people, but then again, everyone has their secrets. I just don't go for very many prints anymore.

I don't blame ya. Sometimes I try and sometimes I don't. The past few except for the Batman mask of the Phantasm did not attract me at all. You know how it is if you don't like it you don't care about it.

I don't know if the servers are crashing but a few times I was literally completing the check out and it would lag and and lag and then say out of stock.

How's things over on this side of the internet for you guys and gals? It's been a while since my last post. School has really started to eat away at my free time, but after this next hectic week I'm off for 10 days! Going to liquidate the last of my Blu-ray Steelbooks (Finally!) and try to lock down a couple of my poster wants.

Not much has been released as of late. Tried for the P&T Two Towers but decided to let it sell out as it will be damn near impossible to find a Return of the King for under 1000 now

Definitely wish I could attend that Mondo Disney gallery though, I still might try to fly down last minute but it could be an expensive trip Here is hoping some of the good stuff makes it online!

True that Batman: MOTP print was nice, would have been a nice piece to try for and have Bruce Timm sign, as I have the original movie poster signed by him and Alan Burnett as well as my Batman: Animated Series collector's edition box set signed by them, Kevin Conroy and a bunch of comic artists have signed it and drawn sketches all over the box.

I was an exhibitor at the show so I was in early so made sure to head to his table technically before the show opened and I was third in line. At the time he was charging $100 and only took the first twenty people in line each day, and would draw one character only.

I created a thread on comic book art/sketches here on Blu-ray.com, you can find it here: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=213553 and I update it with new pieces as I have them done.

Its been ages since I have gone to a convention. I have been so removed from the comic industry as collector and on the business side of things I wouldn't be able to tell who's who.

You are fortunate to have access to some of your favorites in the industry. I'm sure you have a collection to die for.

Honestly I really don't have that great of a collection, I have some treasures (to me at least) but it's not a massive collection. I am fortunate to call a number of professionals in the industry friends though, but comic wise, I don't have that many.

Then you have a awesome collection of friends. There is no price that one can put on that!!!

Yeah and I don't even have to send them in to be graded.

For those who ordered the Star Wars prints from Bottleneck Gallery a few weeks ago, sounds like they are going to be shipping out sooner rather than later.

Probably a question asked many times before; but can anyone suggest where I can buy 27x40" (69x102cm) poster frames within the UK, at a reasonable price?

There seems to be very little option within the UK, and the cheapest I've found is around £40 per frame. I'm needing 6, and don't really want to spend quite that much.

Any help will be appreciated.

There is a gallery here in downtown Seattle (Ltd. Gallery) that will be putting on a gallery showing of original art based on Game of Thrones entitled "Winter is Coming". The gallery showing will run from March 1 through March 23 and then again it will move over to the Emerald City Comic-Con also in Seattle March 28-30.

I have to assume there will be prints available via in-person and through their website, but I am unsure at this time. You can see a preview of it here:

There isnt any that im aware of. I know Ikea do frames that work with Uk 1 Sheets but its near impossible to find anywhere else. Looks like they will need to be custom made. Im also trying to frame a few posters at the moment aswell.
