If you have the money spare, now might be the best time to go. Jewellers will probably be desperate for the work.

Just bought the artbook, it should be here in a couple of days. Hope its worth the 89$ I spent on it. I find it hilarious that a used hardcover on amazon costs more then a new one on there.
|
I find it irritating and wrong. There's a chance that they payed more for it than you did your new copy, but wanting so much for it pre-owned is just being terribly greedy.

Unbelievable, isn't it?

Im getting the art of oddworld!
Hey guys...Im new to these forums but im a huge fan of oddworld games! I've got Oddysee and Exoddus on both PC and PS1. unfortunately I don't have an xbox so I can't get Munch's Oddysee o Strangers Wrath but I would love to get them.:fuzsad:
Today I ordered The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants: the first ten years off Ballistic Publishing!! Should be mad! Can't wait till its here although because they have run out of softcover versions I had to order the Hard Cover one for $70. But it will still be awesome!:p |
Congratulations.
|
First Ten Years book says that that Abe model you got there is a rogue German model that OWI threatened to sew if they didnt desist with production =. aren't the ynice!
I have a hard back copy worth £175 =D |
Unfortunately, this is way out of my price range at the moment so seeings as I won't be bidding I may as well post it here.

Folks might be interested in what I just found online: a whole bunch of Stranger's Wrath posters, of various sizes.

These are just images printed out. Bad, bad show.
And yes, I know that's all a poster generally is. |
Does "canvas" actually mean "printed on canvas"?
EDIT: never mind. Nothing could be that straightforward. |
:
EDIT: Oh, and the seller's got a very good rating. If the posters were bad quality, that wouldn't happen, right? |

Wait... wait... some of them actually are printed on "Ultra High Quality Waterproof Canvas Material"
Just wish I knew the resolution. |
When did Amazon become Ebay?
|
They would, clearly, make such a wonderful addition to anyone's kitchen...
|
Okay, poster arrived today. It's definitely better quality than I expected, and I'm happy with it. There is some pixellation, but you have to lean in pretty close to spot it - from a distance, the quality is great.
I took some pictures so people can see. The lighting and photo quality aren't great, but they get the point across. Note the close-up photo was taken from about a centimetre or two away. That said, this is only the A3 version. No idea what the A2 and A1 will be like quality-wise... |
I'll kill anyone who buys the last A3 Stranger's Wrath poster. It's in my "basket", waiting for my nephew's birthday next month.
|
I'm buying the A1 80x50 cm one. Hands off.
|
Actually, I might get him the A3 battlestone poster. Be wary. If it isn't ordered in a fortnight, feel free to buy it.
|
I don't think it's a buy-once-and-it's gone kind of deal - the one I bought is already back in stock.
I think I might buy the A1 Battlezone poster; I always loved that scene. |
Surely all this is in the same category as the Abe sculpture that we've been discouraging people from buying because it's essentially stealing IP from OWI?
|
This is even worse. At least the Abe sculpture was a work of art. Someone went out of their way to make a statue which had to be crafted to begin with.
This is just a photograph stolen from OWI and printed onto a canvas for money. |
Looking again, I don't think either of us will give a shit. He's been talking about Abe, and it sounds like that he prefers that to Stranger. If anyone sees a cheap PlayStation on Amazon that they don't want, tell me. It will be better for him to have something he can play the games on.
|
PS1 or PS2?
|
PS2. I'm keeping my eye out, but if one cheaper than £45 comes up, please message me.
|
|
Shit, I didn't notice that. Thank you!
|
My SW poster arrived! It hangs by my bed. :P
