    I was able to get a set. Almost missed them because I forgot the Ames site doesn't work in Firefox.

    Dissapointing to see that the two MSG and Boston shows will be the same image with a color variation.

    But I have a feeling that there are going to be some great images in this set for some reason. Here's hoping for everyone who shelled out today :)

    I agree that the set will probably be awesome. The last few tours, the Ames Bros. posters have been a bit dissapointing, so I am thinking that they are really pushing for something great this time around.

    thanks for the screen shot, I know they are snippets but it looks pretty typical as far as ames designs go. Guess I'll have to pay 30 at the show instead of 70 bucks with them for a signature.


    thanks also for telling us firefox and Ames do not mix. I wish I knew that when trying to buy this morning.

    The yellow and blue one is definitely an octopus. I also see Thomas the Train and a gay pride poster

    A couple of guesses on posters based on this screen shot:

    The second to last one looks like some sort of Octopus (see the tentacles witht he suction cups!) - Maybe for the Boston Shows?

    The last one looks exactly like the head of the Statue of Liberty (the part where her crown is). I bet that is for the MSG shows.

    Yep, these are the artists proofs, signed and numbered to 100.

    Also, remember you are getting a guaranteed poster if you get this set, without having to hold it during the show etc.

    i think the price is fair given the ebay flipping that goes on, etc.

    Um, yes.

    That's the way it has always been.

    Again, the signed and numbered prints are aimed at the collectors.

    Klausen does the same.

    And it's actually about $30 more.

    hate to judge on such little info but it was their choice to release it.

    i have to say they still look like the old unfinished sketches of a 4 year-old we've come to expect from ames.


    Apparently you haven't seen the 98 posters and many since then.
