AMAZING poster for sale. *WARNING - HUGE PICTURE*

Post by violentpig »

This is my copy, but the guy that sold it to me has another. If you'd like to buy one let me know, and I'll forward his contact info to you. He's located in Florida if you're wondering, and no, this won't come cheap.

He's a really good dude that's helped me out so I thought I'd help him unload the other one.

MINE is not for sale. Trust me I'd ask 5x for it than he would. PM me for his email address if you're serious, but keep in mind this is a premium poster that has closed high in the past.

Heh I know. I'm tempted to buy the other one he has too, but I'll shop it around the forums first.

he does make custom posters, that is correct.

however he also used to be a partner at a game shop, and thus has originals. this being one of them.

who's maxchain? I've never heard of this person nor have bought from them

I want to make sure nobody is hinting the guy that sold me this poster is selling copies. Everything I've bought from him is 100% legit. Some have even been in labelled mailing tubes from Konami - indicating what's inside and for what event it's to be distributed at.

All 3 posters I've bought have all been slightly different in terms of quality and size as well, nothing has been "consistent" in terms of reprinting. Everything has been of the highest quality I've seen, whereas the one custom poster I have you can obviously tell it's a copy.

Add to that I've seen pictures of other standees and marketing promo's this guy has as he's in the business. It's hard to copy standees. Plus he's "sold out" of everything I bought except the MGS1 poster so usually reprinters don't sell out.

Is that fake or real? Were there even 20th Anniversary posters?

maxchainsplendid does make reprints, and he is a designer as well. i'm not sure if this is a true konami poster, since i've only seen this one he had for sale, and the one that Mario had bought.

it's not really konami's schtick to make posters that are laminated, so i'm not convinced that this poster is original konami printed.

in the case of MGS2, promo materials were provided so sellers could make posters for their shops, since the promo materials were an exclusive with gamestop and the other small mom and pop shops didn't get anything free, they had to print them themselves.

so i'll have to ask maxchain if he made this, since i know him from a couple forums.

It was laminated for shop window use. He has an original unlaminated one too.

I've seen niyachan buy the mgs20th ann poster as well.

It also reads on the poster "For display only, not for re-sale", I don't know if anyone would put that on a custom made poster

the mgs "coming soon" and the "available now" posters are definate originals, and those are the one

I'd ask the guy I bought them from about some of your points bay, but honestly, I trust him enough that I don't need to. I've seen his collection of video game items as well as the huge amount of promo material he has and I don't know if it'd be worth it to him to sell bootleg mgs posters heh.

max chain is s. meyer, hes in royal palm beach florida.

i never indicated yours was a repro, im just indicating he's known to make repros.

since konami has released promo material for printing yourself in the past, this could be the case. since i've only seen this poster in 2 places now.

ah ok

I see know what you mean now. So Konami sends images to retailers so they can print their own items?

What's odd if that was the case is he's pretty much sold out of everything Metal Gear except the Coming Soon poster. And those are in the original Konami tubes labeled and dated specifically for the game show they were handed out at.

That is his name, but even in regards to other items he's shown me pictures of (including non-Metal Gear) he's not able to sell them to me as he only has the one (for his own collection). And I've offered good money too, so if he could reproduce them I'd assume he would have done it for me.
