I was worried that they might fold it. Good to know that it's tubed!

You aren't kidding those pro frames are expensive. Largely the mat and the non-glare glass. Those cheap poster frames at Michael's are still not that cheap, even with the 40% off they almost always have on them (continuous "sale"). They are expensive (here) for everything. Think I'll check out the Wal-Mart when mine comes, didn't even know they had poster frames.

OT, but maybe of interest to those looking for some classic movie "poster art" for their HT room. But in a much smaller size = cheap to frame and not so dominant (you can fit more variety). Look for calendars called Classic Movie Posters. They have very high quality art on thick paper, about the size of an LP (can fit in those LP cover frames), 12 of the classics each year. They are about 70% off now, so I'd guess they go for about $5 in the U.S. amazon.com has it I see but more expensive. I have one ready to cut up... I should warn you that these are collected, so ones before 2006 are pretty expensive.

You should post a picture of the Kong poster after it is framed....

I'm still waiting for my poster!

How long did you wait to send away for it? I didn't even get my Kong box set until almost a week after street date (stupid Best Buy) and I didn't send my form in until a few days after that and I've had mine for 2 or 3 weeks. I don't have my form anymore (obviously) but maybe someone that didn't participate in the offer could see if there's a phone number you could call to see what's up.

Bill: I sent it in a few days after I bought it. Reciept, proof of purchase, check, sealed envelope.

However... when I sent in for the free Incredibles poster, I was told it would be 6-8 weeks (I entered a few days after buying the DVD) and I just got it in December.

 

[CraigF]

I got the poster quite a while ago, less than the 6-8 weeks. It was sent away for 2-3 weeks after release.

 

[Porfirio]

I'm still waiting for my poster. I mailed the order form the same weekend of release, but it barely got processed on January 6.

 

[CraigF]

Patrick: the phone number to call "if you have not received the Poster by the time allotted" is 866-488-4640. Actually, the "allotted" time is 8-10 weeks, not the 6-8 I said before. My request was mailed on Dec. 5 FWIW.

 

[Patrick McCart]

Craig: Thanks! I'm calling first thing in the morning.

Just as an FYI, my KONG poster check finally "cleared" waaay back during the first week of January, and…

…my poster arrived today! Woohoo!

So folks, it looks like Warner is finally getting around to doing the bulk shipping of the posters -- at least for those of us who got "cleared" in January.

As Steve and Craig stated, it arrived in a VERY sturdy poster tube, and the poster itself is mighty fine to behold, and is printed on very thick stock!

I SO need to get this framed, especially since I somehow doubt that I'll be purchasing a real one-sheet anytime soon.

Anyway folks, keep watching your mailboxes, because your KONG' sheet should be making a personal visit very soon (er, actually, it's more like "Keep watching the corner of your front door, since there is NO way that tube's gonna fit in your mailbox).

 

[CraigF]

Yes, the poster and everything about the Kong release was a total class act by Warners.

A minor thing: did the Best Buy tinned Kong set box have a "top", or was it "open" on one face? I did not buy this myself, had it purchased in the U.S. for me so I could get the poster, so have not seen the box in its original state. Thanks.

 

[Steve...O]

Craig, the BB set was open on the front end. You set the DVDs inside the box as opposed to sliding them into the side. (Hope that makes sense.)

 

[CraigF]

Thanks. I should have known the way I got the box was the way it came... The box set was bought by my mother in AZ: it's in perfect shape, she even cut out the stickers that were stuck on the shrinkwrap, kept all the junk inserts too. I didn't ask her to do that, but it's what I usually do...at least I know where I get my anality...:b

 

[Porfirio]

I also received my poster today.

 

[ToddJ]

I was going to send away for the poster, but I see there are several proof of purchase tabs. Does it actually matter which one I send?

 

[Johnny Angell]

Nah, its not rocket science.:b
