OFFICIAL: Metal Gear Solid Merchandise FAQ
Hello guys, I've made some posts on here asking certain questions and I know others have as well. So I'd like to make one be all end all thread where we could ask any-and-all questions. So here goes:
I have a Sealed MGS2 Premium Pack, and I was wondering if the game inside was sealed as well? I've seen just opened packs and the game was always open as well. So I was just wondering if it came that way.

Re: OFFICIAL: Metal Gear Solid Merchandise FAQ
im pretty sure the inside is sealed to.
if its the jpn one, mgs premium is sealed, and mgs 2 should be the same thing.

That drawing on eBay doesn't match up. It doesn't have the Japanese text at the bottom. I wouldn't bid on that thing. We will probably never see an original.

Re: OFFICIAL: Metal Gear Solid Merchandise FAQ
I got two new posters in today and I was wondering how I'd open them properly/let them set. I know violentsnake does something in particular for this. Any help would be appreciated guys. Thanks!

Re: OFFICIAL: Metal Gear Solid Merchandise FAQ
There's no specific way of doing it, but I leave mine unravel on their own in a safe place (i.e. where they won't get trodden on!) for about 24 hours if I can before I force them open. That way they open a lot easier and there is no strain on the paper/card whatever it may be.Screaming Mantis wrote:I got two new posters in today and I was wondering how I'd open them properly/let them set.

Re: OFFICIAL: Metal Gear Solid Merchandise FAQ
you can see that was a promo item from Famitsu PS2 back in the day, as for if it was a preorder gift or included in the magazine itself, would require some more investigation.Screaming Mantis wrote:I think it is a poster, but none of us will ever see it I promise you.lance wrote:I don't care what it is, I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE IT!Screaming Mantis wrote:What is this?

Re: OFFICIAL: Metal Gear Solid Merchandise FAQ
i put my posters out on a flat surface, like a table, or a bed, with paperbacks or ps2 game cases on the corners/sides (depending on size). sitting out for a couple hours will usually do the trick for keeping them flat.

Re: OFFICIAL: Metal Gear Solid Merchandise FAQ
Just asked the guy and basically it's been ripped straight out of the calendar that was given out to people. Lost its value straight away then really!violentsnake wrote:LOL

Ideally it would be best to either have the entire calendar or the Famitsu poster! We live in hope eh!

Re: OFFICIAL: Metal Gear Solid Merchandise FAQ
for posters that I value, I actually put it on top of a hard surface (like a piece of wood or something
and then i start sliding books (thick textbooks, phonebooks, w/e) right on top of it, covering every space, so it wont be bloated in the middle and straight at the corners.
i leave that for about a week (mainly because i put them in the basement, so i forget for like a few days) then they will be straighten out.
if not, i take out the books and let it destress and replace the books again (with more heavy books)

Re: OFFICIAL: Metal Gear Solid Merchandise FAQ
For getting posters flat I have remove my glass table top from one of my coffee tables and put it over the poster on a hardwood floor for 24 hrs. Once I remove the glass it doesn't want to roll back at all.
