I must be missing something. Have we actually
seen the poster that we'll be getting when we mail in the card from the Ultimate Collector's set?

I believe that in a master shot of the Ultimate Edition and all of its contents in the upper left hand corner is the paper that shows the poster, though I could of course be wrong. I think that it is safe to assume even if that is not the poster that the poster will be great, don't you?

Re: Warner announces Forbidden Planet for November
There is no poster included
inside the Ultimate Collector's Tin. Here's the relevant passage from the official WB announcement:
Quote:
Ultimate Collectors Edition in Unique Metal Alloy Collector’s Case
Contains Collectible Robby The Robot Action Figure, Reproduction Lobby Cards Portfolio and Mail-In Movie Poster Offer |
(Emphasis added)
I'm very glad the poster
won't be in the box, by the way, because they'd have to fold it so small that we'd never get the creases out of it.

The item in the upper left hand corner
could be a representation of the final poster, or the mail-in card for the poster or any number of other things. Maybe the poster in question is a reproductoin of the 50th anniversary tin art. Which would be cool, but not as cool as a reproduction of one of the original release posters. Whatever it is, I'm sure Warner Bros. will do a nice job, and I'm sure I'll be happy to add it to my own collection of framed movie posters. I'm just not sure we've seen anything that tells us for sure what it will be.

Joe

Er, yes, I know, which is why I say the theme was borrowed "
for the
Million Dollar Movie" not
from it, and why this example follows the resuse of the
Frankenstein music in the later serials, as another example of borrowing.

This Trendmaster 1999 Collectable Remote Controlled 'Robby the Robot' is out of production.
The only place that occasionally have them is
@ eBay!!! Sometimes, (if everybody is asleep when the auction ends) you can get them for around $50 + SH.

Re: Warner announces Forbidden Planet for November
Dang it! Now I'm going to have to wait for the side by side comparisons to see if I end up buying the standard version or if I end up waiting for a HD Christmas present. I suppose there could be worse decisions to be made...
