    Default Toys R Us RZone Promo Posters

    I have 6 of those RZone banner/poster things that they hang at Toys R Us, from around 2004. They're pretty big (30 x 36"). I would assume that their value would hinge on what game they're for. 3 or 4 of them were never hung or displayed. So that would make either 2 or 3 that were taped up in the employee hallway at one point. They are all slightly damaged, but nothing major. Got these from a "friend" at a Toys R Us (back in 2004 or so) that they would send these to, even though the store didn't have the units to hang these in. The list is below. I have never seen these for sale before, so looking for some guidance on pricing.

    Red Dead Revolver
    WWE Day of Reckoning
    Full Spectrum Warrior
    Mario vs. Donkey Kong
    The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventure
    Ratchet and Clank 2: Going Commando

    Lastly, here's the pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/jnyiri/R...erialsForSale#

    It would definitely depend on the game being promoted. Also what they are made out of. Paper? Plastic? Vinyl? I couldn't think that they'd be worth more than a few bucks a pop unless you had one for a rare game that never got made, or something so incredibly popular that there is a big demand for its marketing merch.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    They're made out of a rigid plastic. The quality of the art is extremely good.

    They look to be in good shape. Depending on the game, you might find a buyer who would be willing to pay $10-$20 each. I think WWE and Full Spectrum are probably worth next to nothing. The others have some fan value. Shipping is going to be a bitch though.

    I think the WWE one would be worth something to a wrestling fan, but Full Spectrum Warrior you're right about.

    Shipping is going to be tough; that's true. Though I do have the original box they were shipped in

    It's not about having the right box, it's about the fact that anything over 12" gets hit with a very steep surcharge from USPS now. I'm guessing it will cost more to ship than anyone would actually pay for those posters which limits your potential market to local sales or someone who will buy most or all of them at once.

    I got totally confused. I forgot that's what Toys R Us did (or still do?) call the video game section of their store. Rzone, that is.

    I was like, "What the hell? A Zelda game was released for Tiger's LCD/visor headset game system?"

    Haha, yeah, no Zelda game for the RZone system.

    I'm probably going to end up bundling these as a lot and selling them that way. Too tough to ship one at a time.
