These posters aren't a necessity, and like I wrote in a few posts back, if you like the art so much you can drag yourself down to a Fedex Kinko's store and get them printed on some cheap paper instead. I don't think you would walk into a restaurant and tell them how their business should be run.

and for your " flipper " comment, how can I be a flipper when I feel like selling a poster a few months after they were released? That's not what a flipper is defined as.

The most amusing part of all of your comments is that you love to talk about things as if you're the foremost authority on any given subject. Whether it's statues, toys or posters, you always act as if you're infallible in any given discussion. It's amusing because in actuality, you're more often than not just flat out wrong or misinformed.

When all of that is taken into consideration, it is clear to me that continuing a conversation with you is a complete waste of time. Discussing this topic with you has "costed" me time that could have been better spent elsewhere.




In case you missed it, you just say "cost" when using it in past tense.

Go look up the word, Luminous, costed is acceptable for past tense usage.

and damn stop yelling at me I can hear you all the way from Miami!

You defended your use of the word "costed". Congratulations.

[Awesome]

Damn some people really are hostile.

Okay back to your respective corners. No point in people falling out over how many posters are printed. Until the next drop that is.

I for one am sick of missing out only to see eBay flooded with prints minutes later and massively inflated prices. I say we raise the people's army, and seize control of the state. Or, you know change the way mondo does their drops.

I don't own any Mondo prints yet, but this exact thing happens with statues as well as most other types of artists prints as well, so because it happens to me with other things, I had to comment.

Holy Moley. Costed is an actual word... Google just said so.
Well, in all fairness, you can't say something like, "'This sweater costed me $20" without sounding very uneducated.

I agree . . . you would sound like a goose if you said "this sweater costed me $20" . . . you're more likely to hear a politician or economist say "those expenditure figures were costed incorrectly"

Anyway . . . let's get back to the prints . . . this grammar discussion has costed us all way too much time
