The things I find.

Tali was about $350, which is a lot of money. However, I feel relatively confident that it will hold it's value; and if I had to sell it, I wouldn't take a dime less than twice what I paid for it. I'm sure someone would eventually pay it too. Not that I would sell it of course.

The smaller lithograph version of this same image is undoubtedly one of the most desirable of all the ME lithos. It used to routinely sell for right around $350 give or take. Sometimes it would even go for $400. Now admittedly, prices have come down a bit; but it still sells for $250 to $300 regularly.

Since the smaller Tali lithograph still sells for $250 to $300 (and since I've always wanted this image), I figured I'd pay a little more and get the massive giclee.

The fact that this Tali giclee version has already sold out, tells me that interest in this image is still high. None of the other ME Cook & Becker prints have sold out. Tali went fast.

I'm not sure if you can tell from the picture, but the print is actually huge. I shudder to think what it would cost to have framed. I'd imagine it would easily be $450 to $500 at Michael's; and Michael's is pretty damn inexpensive. I'm sure any other frame shop would want way more than $450.

I don't have any more space on my walls either. So the cost to frame it and the lack of space to display the print means that Tali will be rolled up in a tube for a very long time in all likelihood. Most of my prints are stored in tubes and storage folios for these very reasons. I would still love to get Tali framed one day though.

New poster! I snapped this one up the second it became available. It's a Shenmue II Japanese promo poster. Shenmue promo posters are incredibly tough to come by. I've only ever seen a handful of Shenmue promo posters for sale.

I narrowly missed buying the Japanese promo poster for the original Shenmue, but I did scoop up the American version (It's posted in the first page of this thread) of that poster. It's not as nice as the Japanese version, but it's still really nice, and it's rare as well.

Actually, these days, almost anything Shenmue-related is hot. Prices keep going up and up.

I got this poster at a reasonable price too. I'm sure it's worth at least twice what I paid for it. The seller had two of these for sale and listed his second poster right after he sold me mine. They both sold almost instantly. The second one sold for a whole lot more than the first one too.




and this is just a neat little Borderlands figure:



also wanted to post this second pic of Tali. I figured it might give a better sense of scale.

Wow that poster is awesome!

[Harlequin]

Just about everything you have is awesome. Please tell me - does the Black Caesar cup have morphine on the bottom?

[MortalMonday]

lol, no morphine. Thanks for the kind words too.

Okay. Just asking - that's one of the clues in one of the cases, you probably know.

[MortalMonday]

Yeah, I know. I played through the game when it came out. Believe me, I went straight for the bottom of the cup the second I got it.

As a dreamcast fan I love playing Shenmue and to see that poster brings back some good memories, looks brilliant by the way...

That blue Clapy is amazing! From where you got him? I'm going to buy one too, but I can see only classic yellow model at local stores.
