Galactica cast private signing!

[MAD]

I already suggested it a couple of times and they're now finally listening! Iconographs/BSGAutographs will do a private signing with Galactica cast (and maybe even crew):



I've already asked for info who all will be available on this, but it basicly means you can pick your favorite character/actor and get an IP signed photo with whatever name and quote you want! Cool, huh? They have to be still on the series, because they'll probably get the whole bunch on the set. You may even send in your own items.

I think my script page will finally be filled with all the signatures I could ever wanted!

As soon as I know more on who is in this signing and what costs are, I'll post it here (of course you can e-mail them yourself as well if you think that will be quicker

This is very cool, provided they do it for a reasonable price.

[mikedx]

Hopefully they can get Olmos, McDonnell, and Hogan...

Their BSG auto's on bsgautographs.com isn't extreme $$$.

[MAD]

My guess it will be $30/signature plus shipping. Olmos/McDonnell probably $35 or $40.

But still: since they're doing no cons, you try to get them anywhere cheaper or at all! Sending a proper request TTM is already like $15 (from Europe, including photo and SASE). But then you have no guarantee it will arrive, return or if it's a secretarial. I know people that are already waiting for a year to get reply by McDonnell.

Plus I hope they'll throw in Ron Moore and David Eick as well! Would be cool just to send one poster and like $350 and have it returned with 15 signatures. How many chances like that do you get. Some people collect signatures on their poster for years and spend much more than that by attending cons and such. I know a guy who even came from the US to pick his poster in the Netherlands because he was afraid it would get lost in the mail.

Lucky for him there happened to be a con that had his first love and some childhood heroes he could attend when he was there anyway! ;D ;D ;D

Very nice! I need to get McDonnell, Park, and Helfer, hopefully they'll be giving us a discount if we order a bunch of autos.

I know a guy who even came from the US to pick his poster in the Netherlands because he was afraid it would get lost in the mail.

LOL. Seriously, I went to the Netherlands because I thought (and still do) that this is the last time the 6 actors (+ Silla) will ever be together in one place.

$350 for a signed poster would be a deal for sure! I seriously doubt that you will ever see Olmos, Hogan, and McDonnell at a convention, much less together.

I figured that I've spent (not counting the trip to Holland) almost $500 on that poster. Including fees (and I got 6 free), postage, and driving for 16 signatures. It's been back and forth in the mail 6 times, and it's been to more countries than I have!

Another 4 hour drive planned next month to add one more. It never ends...

[robertderidder]

But wasn't getting the signatures yourself more fun?

[mikedx]

Absolutely!

But it would have cost $1400 to fly to England. As a matter of fact, Harry & Jeroen got my poster signed by Benedict & Jefferson while I was attending to Lockhart. I did get them to sign at previous conventions though, so it was all good.

But in general, absolutely getting them in person is more fun. It would be nice to get on the set in Vancouver and pick them up myself...but I figure it will take them a few weeks to get everybody they offer, with various shooting schedules.

So, for those of you talking about getting a poster signed, which one are you thinking of getting signed? I can only seem to find posters that are 11x17 in size.

[martinev2]

Actually Mary McDonnell has done a couple of conventions now and reportedly she enjoys them very much.

This would be an excellent opportunity to get my big cast poster/ photo signed by Olmos and Hogan.

If you live in the USA you can go to one of Olmos' public talks and he happily signs for you afterwards. But I don'tlive there so this is a great opportunity, but I'm not sure yet. Hav eto think about it and depends on the price.

[mikedx]

Joel,

As far as I know, the only place you can get full size posters is here:

www.moviepostershop.com

They are in Canada, they take about 1 month to come in. The first one I ordered came in after 30 days, but I ordered a poster from them over 2.5 months ago and never got it. The tracking info shows that it left the country, but it never got here. They have both 11x17 and 27x40. Not many styles to choose from. It says reproduction on all of them, but I think only the 11x17 are reproduced.

Martine, as far as I know, she has only done the San Diego Comic Con. If she will do more, that would be great. But if I can get her through this signing, I'll jump on it.

Do you have a schedule of Olmos's public talks? I'd like to see if he will be in driving distance.

Mary also did the first Creation Galactica event.

[mikedx]

Oh yeah, that's why they keep selling her sigs on ebay...

Whoops. They also have the posters here:

www.moviegoods.com/movie_product.asp?sku=350475&dept_id=28947&master_movie_id=28947

They even have 48x70 subway posters if you're so inclined...

Check out the film cells they have. Cool! But I thought they shot digitally???

[ThinWhiteDuke]

Moviegoods is an excellent site.
1 minor thing tho': it can take ages before the stuff arrives....so, if you're buying e.g. a poster for a signing: do so many many weeks in advance. (If you live in Europe that is, for USA buyers it must be quicker)

The filmcells: they are custommade. Star Wars II & III were also shot digitally, but nevertheless they have of these too.

Many people think that they are cut from a filmroll: on rare occasions it is like that, but on most occasions it isn't. So, you are buying a replica instead of 'the real deal'.

[martinev2]

My poster took less than a month to arrive from Moviegoods so I guess I was lucky.

@mike: no I do not have a schedule but you should check his official site from time to time.
