Does anyone have a complete set of the Atari mobile-style (they're diecut, printed on both sides with a small hole pre-cut in the top, as if you'd run a string through it) posters they made back in the 80's?

If you're not sure what I'm talking about, here's an example:

I have seven, I know I'm still missing some just haven't got the space for them right now. I've seen them in pictures from previous conventions, so I know someone has to have a complete set. By the way you're missing a few that I have anyway off your list.
These are the ones I own:
Battlezone
Tempest
Centipede
Super Breakout
Star Raiders
Warlords
Yar's Revenge
And was there a Breakout & Super Breakout or just Super Breakout?

Joe- do you have a Breakout, or did you mean Super Breakout? (you have both listed)
JUST Super Breakout - I'll fix that above, thanks!

I have a Ms. Pac-Man mobile but it may be from a different series.

I have
Battlezone
Super Breakout
Star Raiders
Tempest
Warlords
Haunted House
Missle Command
and the actual Ms. Pac-Man Mobil Y-bot speaks of.
At CGE last year I also remember seeing Yars Revenge and Centipede, but the Centipede seemed to not match the set. What were these from? I got them from Ebay when there was a glut of them being sold.
I have never seen the Asteroids one.
Any one have pics of it?

i got the warlords and haunted house ones off ebay and you know what? i just dont like them that much. they look really cheap and off center just hanging on a wall and as mobiles they're pretty boring.
now posters and store displays, thats where its at!

I have 7 of them in my office at work and I get so many compliments on them. I had to use poster putty to get them to "hang" straight. I think I will eventually get them framed.
