Request for my American Buddies!

Post by Alatar »

These posters were not given out at the IMAX Premiere in Ireland. If anyone can pick up a spare set for me I would be eternally grateful!

Al, I was very disappointed to find the posters aren't offered in Oz either. I hope you manage to get your hands on some!

I'd help if I could, but I think they are only being given away at the midnight shows, and I'm not going until the next day.

I'll keep my eyes open for them. Wampus and I are seeing it at a small boutique theatre, so I don't know what sort of promotionals they will be doing, but you never know

I'm not going to the midnight premiere, but I will absolutely grab anything they give me on Friday morning. I'll be at the first showing after the midnight showing. What's more, I'll have my whole family with me and another family as well, so if they are still giving things out, I should have plenty of extras.

No luck Friday morning, by the way. They may have been at true IMAX showings, which my theater wasn't. There wasn't a HFR IMAX showing in town. :(

I didn't have much luck either, Alatar. There were some small posters with Bilbo on them (not the drawings like in your link, but the main photo of Bilbo with Sting). Unfortunately, there was only 1 left by the time we asked.

I gave it to the 15-year-old boy who was with us since it was his birthday. He was so excited to be seeing the movie! :) I hope that's okay.

(To give him some credit, he tried to refuse, knowing that I wanted one for you. In fact, I had to give it to his mom to smuggle home. Since it wasn't the posters you had linked to, I really felt like he should take this poster home.)

I didn't see the ones you linked to, but they did have this one:

It's small, about 279 x 432 mm, but I got two of them and will be happy to send you one if you would like it. (Apologies for the crappy picture.)

I asked about the freestanding display pictured here: http://instagram.com/p/TRO9zSCNEp/
but they claim they still need it. :P
