Obviously the green one, Orange would have been two rich for my blood had it still been available. I can't wait for it to come in all of it's beauty.

Which one of you crazy bastards got the orange, and which of you normal folk got the green?

    Congrats! You'll love it especially if you're a collector. I have the ltd. edition as well as other poster books. Very interesting and beautifully made. :)

    I bought it recently myself, and am looking forward to receiving it. It takes for ever to get anything here in Canada.

    I was thinking about buying one but haven't got around to it. I guess I should make one of these threads that say "I finally gave in and bought the Benaroya vinyl!" ha. Saw one Ebay yesterday with a buy it now for 750 and well I gave in.

    Got the orange and love it, granted the prints were shite, but the extra pages in the book are cool, perhaps not worth the extra $ but its nice nonetheless

    I saw it too and was a click away from buying it but chickened out cause I got bills to catch up on. Good for you for getting it. Are you gonna keep it sealed or open it and enjoy it?

    It took me a while to give into this one too. I hate everyone on this board who posts pics of posters all the time because now I'm obsessed too :).

    However, I will only buy posters from shows I went to. So this book satisfies my poster craze for now, but they better release in a new one later on in their career.

    Damn! I couldn't imagine dropping $750 on something like that! Must be nice to have that kind of cash laying around and being able to spend it on a whim. ;D
