    Default Videogame posters, where do you find them?

    I was wondering whats the best place to find japanese nintendo videogame posters??

    I know ebay sell them from time to time but im looking for other reliable places to get them from.

    I got some zelda posters the other week & it has sparked off my intrest in finding more nintendo ones for my room.

    Heres my zelda ones.




    Also whats the best way of mounting them, generic frames or are there custom ones for posters?

    Thanks for any help you can give

    I get all of mine from magazines. Sadly I am running out of room for more. As for japanese posters the only place I know of is ebay :/

    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.

    Holy crap! Importaku is a UK collector. I am greatly impressed.

    Your collection is amazing, I love it.

    As for posters, I would have thought you have Japanese friends who help you. Can't you get get them to some dumpster diving? :P

    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. Anyways, I used a custom poster frame for my shadow hearts one, and it fit perfectly.

    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.

    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.

    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.
