Mine came from club nintendo but there are sellers from japan selling the same set of 3 on ebay.
Just keep doing a search on club nintendo & you'll eventually find them.

Cool Mario Poster, but very expensive.

The two japanese posters I own (Shadow Hearts 2 & Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter) both came from ebay. Note that the BOF came from Hong Kong, and took almost 3 months to arrive. :eek 2: Anyways, I used a custom poster frame for my shadow hearts one, and it fit perfectly.
I got mine mostly from ebay.
Here's some:

I got the frames from ebay too.
I'm really interested in a Yoshi's story poster... Sadly I didn't get the 2 that were selling together a while back... does anyone have or know of somewhere to get one? Is ebay member ajcbrown here? Please sell me those.

I bought a bunch of cool posters from www.markinjapan.com, but that was over a year ago and he seems to have shut down now.
Bought a few posters from markinjapan too, hope he comes back

Kinda on topic... does anyone have any of the old Konami posters from the NES era? They were sold back in the day in some of the magazines. I have seen a Jackal one and a Castlevania too. I am willing to pay pretty well for one of these if anyone has one.
Sorry for the shameless plug, but I am auctioning off my Zelda poster sets, all 3 of them on ebay.

I have about 30 Jp posters...bought em from a guy who got em from game stores in Japan. They're NOT easy to get in general...especially not in quantity.

if someone were to win all 3, would you ship them in one package and cut the $18 shipping fee a little bit?

Anime conventions are a good place to look. I picked up a nice Japanese MGS3 poster at Anime Overdose.

I will definitely ship them in 1 package, and charge a reasonable shipping fee.
