Apparently its the poster from the Manchester UK 2000 show that i went to and as i have gone on a bit of a "get all the posters from shows i went" kind of thing i found this one on Ames site. I didn't even care/know about the ames posters back in 2000 so feel i need to get it now theres actually one out there! :)


edit* As pointed out below, i have the wrong poster coming up on my link, no wonder people are seeing the dinosaur thing!!! The one coming up is obviously a dinosaur now, i meant to show this poster

    thanks, i didn't even realise until you pinted it out that there are multiple images of one poster simply by clicking Next!

    Now for the next question, do i make an offer to the folks on expressobeans selling for $40 and $50 or just go the whole hog and get the s/n version off Ames site?

    $65 seems a little steep for a blob of nothing though doesn't it :eek:

    It's a large dinosaur eating a smaller one, but I have a theory that it's supposed to abstractly represent this:

    http://www.simonov.net/images/bloc.jpg

    The poster is titled "East Bloc 2000." If you look real hard you can see the resemblance between the poster and the map. Is it a political statement about Communism trying to swallow western europe? I don't know... but that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    Aaah! Could it be a tron like version of a map of the UK???

    I might even open my still sealed Ames book to see if there is any info on what it is supposed to be.......

    looks like a A/P sold on ebay for $31 not too long ago... I would wait it out, message the people and ask them if they are S/N then lowball them!

    People clicking on your link aren't seeing the Manchester poster btw they're seeing the 'East Bloc 2000' one which is why some of the comments don't match the UK poster.

    I have the poster (got is s/n from Ames for $40 last year when they had a sale) as went to Wembley '00 and I always thought it was meant to kindof resemble a map of the UK
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    what's a A/P? excuse my poster ignorance :o

    i guess lowball them means offer them less? Obviously!

    A/Ps are the signed and numbered ones


    lowball would mean if they are asking $50 you offer them $40 and they would probably take the offer.
