There have been so many pictures flying around that it is almost impossible to compile them into a small space. I'll see if I can collect some together and post some more in the next few days.
Meanwhile we still have a poster to deal with, it seems quite odd posting closeup shots even before it goes on sale, but here we go.
This next image is interesting in that on top of the "T" looks like a letter F
You can see the plane in the distance in this image, we are led to believe that this is important in some way to season 6.
The heiroglyphs here seem to be the same ones that were on the Swan Countdown timer.
This image shows some of the Dharma Symbols and the words at the bottom of the poster that do not appear on the version that appears to be for sale.
These excellent pictures come from PatMC and ReverendMilo

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 1140 Newer› Newest»I feel like i've refreshed so many times that if the "Buy Now" button did come up I might not even notice - it's all autopilot at this point.
So it sounds like the final bookmark was...
LOST
I'm starting to get tired. I'll probably have to bail before it gets here. :(
Sorry we missed a bookmark! We did try out hardest to get it right. Maybe they accidentally left one in their basket? LOL
WOW, posters I have up on my walls are in a vault at ABC!
Just wait till Gomerch does their quarterly inventory report on their online sales activity, there will be hundreds of pages on the printout of F5F5F5F5F5....times infinity.
dylansdad! u speak Star Wars?
With our combined strength we can end this destructive conflict & bring order to the LOST galaxy!
ObFuSc8 was on my flight and at least managed to get here :3
Was so lovely meeting everyone, wish I'd talked longer with more people!
@dylansdad: A) Spoke briefly w/the president of ABC and had distinct impression that if I looked at him wrong, ninjas would fall from ceiling. Don't recommend breaking into vault. B) *that noise from the credits*
capcom
Or 4 8 15 16 23 42.
Sie batha ne beechee?
I'm with ya melbrs! I've been goin strong all day with no end in sight. I feel like I can't give up now, too much time invested!
Maybe they kept back a bookmark on purpose.
That would be too cruel! A very Linus thing ta do...
Somewhere, someone is holding the last bookmark and triumphantly shouting, "They're digging in the wrong place!!!"
@ dylansdad - I was laughing so hard now I'm soaked in pee! I'm not THAT fluent.
at this rate, there'll be 815 comments before this poster goes on sale!
OMG Raiders? dylansdad I think we might have somethings in common. LMAO
at Marshall
HAW!!!!
geekboypress
Yes it would.
Marshall
Then 8oo more after the drop.
the next 23:42's coming up... hold your breath!
It's late time for the typos. :)
At least we have each other to pass the time...together!
("awwww" from the audience)
This should be it Marshall.
1+1+5+2=9... just like the guy said, after 9, right?
That was now the sixth :42 since I started my chronic refreshing on the couch.
this is like waiting for the Y2K to drop. i keep thinking the world's going to end on each refresh!
What's going on? Is this not the right time either?!?!
It's really freaking me out how fast the page is refreshing. I wasn't going to try for this, but now I'm feeling like I should. AAAAAAHHHHHH!
OOKay May it will be :52 what the got in the first place.
Is that right maven? :52?
Zort's going to plotz when he sees the number of comments on this post! LOL
@chris maccagnano, 'time' is a funny thing...
Yes .52 PT
But if it's 11:42 PST, doesn't that mean 3-ish a.m. EST? Ugh.
Loop Dude Loop
Every time the refresh takes more than 1 second I think "THIS IS IT!!!" then - "On Sale Soon".
BAH!!!
Yes exactly it would be around 3 am.
Maven I'm laughing so much tonight. I think I may be delirious. You have no idea how hard it was to type delirious.
capcom
Yep that's why I said I won't make it. I'll give it til midnight then it's bedtime.
I will only give it until 4:04 am.
I'm having a hard time thinking to Ginger. I keep backspacing my typos every once in awhile one gets through.
Let's see who survives!
But what if they release it at 4:05?
Heck, I could probably draw this thing from memory by now.
It won't be that late. It'll be before 3am EST
yeah, they better do it before 12/17 in CA
Nope. If they go past 12amPST, they're officially liars. So it has to be within the next 3 hours 8 mins, or their pants are all aflame.
dangerous.
Hi every[F5]body. What are y[F5]ou all up to ton[F5]ight?
Everybody was Kung Fu F5ing.
its up gogoggogog
When this is finally over my F5 finger isn't going to know what to do with itself. It's going on instinct right now.
I wanna design a keyboard with the F5 key down by the space bar - reaching up to the top line is gettin me arm all sore n stuff...
He was born (doot doot doot doo) born (doot doot doot doo) born to hit F5...
You guys are making me laugh so hard.
I have the tote that says Wed. PM, P.T. That's the only thing we know for sure!
what the f5ck?
I like the f5 jokes.
Didnt they dance the F5 in the olden days?...
Hey, if we can't have a poster at least we can have fun!
still in it to win it. one hour and counting til 11:42 CST
more likely 11:42 PT... 1:42 CT
I'm a survivor!
I'm scared that I won't be able to get my F5 finger to stop tapping once the status actually changes.
I think I need some Depends! Everybody's goin crazy! In a fun & hilarious way.
f5 = the finger of god
I think I've gotten carpel tunnel over this.
LOLLLLLLLL! Aw, you guys kill me. And I really needed to laugh right now, seriously. Thanks a zillion.
Sides are hurting! X-D
Dharma diapers for sitting at the computer 24/7!
any of you woot? this is reminding me of the wootoff theme song:
"it's giving me an f5 complex
refreshing just to see what comes next..."
[humming...]
F5 is for fools... reload every FTW!
Here is a curious question to pass the f5-ing time... For the people that have received the "First Purchaser" letters, were their prints also 1/300?
Are you sure that clue is real. Someone inside could be like this. "dude wanna see something great" grabs pencil. Giggles all around. Paul is lurking watching us going that was a great prank.
I cut my carpal tunnels out hours ago with a scapel blade. Im F5ing free n easy now.
First prints are 101
i think its going to be at 10pm
wiping....tears...from....eyes!
I've decided to use my nose for F5ing awhile - my hands can't take it...
lol kiwi
capcom me too.
For anyone thinking of trumping Sandman90 -- don't go there.
What will the first purchaser get tonight?
Should my legs be that colour? Ive only been sitting crossed legged for a paltry 12 hours so far. And I think my left eyeball just fell out. Screen looks funny...
directing rights for s6 finale
This is the same way this thing started it's great it's ending the same way.
can't....breath!!!!! X-D
Probably a Locke t-shirt, dylansdad!
no for real, take it from a professional flipper/line cutter, go grab the reload every plug in for firefox!
Hi youalleverybody!
Just popping my head in for a quick hi!
The G1988 event was AMAZING! More about this later.
The 11:42 PT time is not right and is too late.
*Theyre coming to take me away, hehe haha hoho, theyre coming to take me away* With apologies to Spike Milligan...
Yeah, it's gonna end with us in Santa Rosa!!!!
Lets see... I have to get up at 5:45AM CST... should I stay up another two hours to hit the supposed 11:42PM PST? ... that gives me 4 hours of sleep.... going to be a very non-productive day tomorrow :P
Hey ObFuSc8
No we're having fun now.
Good luck everyone!
who else is surfing with a slave monitor and nothingsforever.com refreshing every 1 second?
It only ends once. Everything else is just progress.
Now that I think about it, Poster 15 First Purchaser Letter technically DID have clues to Poster 16 in the letter. lol
If you consider the name of the show in all caps a clue. :P
Ob - 1142 is TO LATE??? Whatyamean?!
Capcom - F5ing A
If I'm up until three, only to get the white screen of death yet again, I'm not going to be the happiest LOSTie in the jungle.
Now we're doing songs from the Doctor Demento show.
700th?
Ya know, 'I pity the poor fool' who is getting all these 700 posts in emails!
While eating dinner at a bar, I had a conversation with a guy that bore a strong resemblence to Locke - eye scar and all. I'm hoping that's got to be a good luck omen. Right?
Yes. 700th. Got a lot of back tracking to do lol. Good luck tonight everyone.
nothingsforever.com getting glitchy on me just now - wonder if they're starting to mess with it on their end.
Oh yeah, whats plotz mean maven?!
Poor ellen and SamG
Hi Congested.
To pass the time...Capcom, is that the Hildebrandt Goldberry I see in your avatar? NICE.
Sorry hobbit, its a 1 F5 joke minimum before talking other stuff!!...
How many different people do you think have left comments on this post? 17? Hahah I keep seeing the same names.
Actually Hobbit, yes it is! I love the H-Brothers' LOTR renditions, and disappointed that she wasn't in the movies.
@kiwilostie: LOL...Plotz is Yiddish...kinda means will collapse/faint in this context!!
How could I f5orget, kiwi?
(how was that?)
Whatdaya mean poor SamG. I'm following along in gmail
Yeah, we're punch-drunk now Andrew. :-B
It's comforting to know there are so many others who think it's reasonable to stay up until 3am f5ing for the opportunity to spend $70 on a poster. My wife (who has been humoring me for months with this) now officially thinks I'm crazy.
I'm here with everyone, but I mostly lurke.
Nice 1 hobbit!
Thx maven, thought it was something like that!
I'll be back in about 30 minutes. (This could be a long night...)
Capcom..do you have the books of the Brothers' LOTR art? They're pretty nice collections..sort of what I'd like to see done with the LOST prints (hint hint TPTB).
I feel like with what Jackson was trying to do (the ring corrupts everyone), he had to take out Bombadil, and if Bombadil isn't around, might as well yank Goldberry too.
capcom said she pited the people getting the 700 post in email. I thought that meant you and ellen. I guess I was wrong sorry.
Yup i'm still here too. Can't stop hitting f5 to type here.
possibly 9-22 for the date the plane crashed? (or was it 9-24?) Just a guess since we are missing one bookmark. Either that or 10:42 is the best option
I'm keepin' busy drawin' while I wait!
To wake up, I just ran outside, sprinted round the garden twice, bad idea, and know feel like Ive drunk 3 bottles o tequila n eaten 6 worms!... ooof I think the neighbours just run the fuzz.
It's great following along in g-mail it updates itself and all the links show up.
*rang the fuzz*
I just hope I don't f5int before this is all over.
i'm missing my work christmas party right now for this, go on sale now please so i can go enjoy myselffffffff
kiwi chill. be cool. deny deny deny
Sam
Cool. I've never used gmail to follow.
I have a very bad feeling about this.
thanks f5r that kiwi, that was a nice image :)
Hey everybody! Good luck tonight with the poster. I've got a lot of comments and videos to catch up on!
Been monitoring without posting for quite a while, but since this is all ending, just wanted to say good luck, everyone!
I've tried for a few of these and failed every time, but gotta see it to the end at lesat :)
Cheers!
It's your imagination kid.
Hobbit, I have one small Hildbrandt book, but back in the day I used to buy all of their LOTR calendars. Sadly, I didn't save any of them. :-( Yeah, with no Bombadil, no Goldberry.
Right SG, when Ellen wakes up to check her emails tomorrow......oy. I thought you got the eamils too Sam. Good that you're still here for the fun. I think I'm gonna catch some Zs on the couch in a while and try to wake up on time.
Watching S5 while you guys freak out!
Scoutpost!!!
Now it's perfect. Yes I'm tired.
Too many more posts n I reckon were gonna blow blogger up! F5'd to death...
big shout out to BENNYS
Guud Evening All. Back in the summer, i read up on a guy who presented D&C a Black Velvet painting at Comic Con. Next thing I knew thta guy had a website going and it was known he is comedian. So I went there and had some..well alot of fun there. Out of nowhere I get a Giclee print of the now famous DCAAPB painting and scratchy hand written letter from Paul Sheer, basically saying " Thanks " for contributing so much to his website. Afew days later,, a letter from Ronie MidfewArts shows up telling what I can't do with the print Paul sent me. I made a decision at that time, to go to and with wherever it would. Last nite, was like a final destination and what a destination it became. Andalone said recently,, that there would plenty of " sites" on Melrose. Andalone and everyone else,,WE WERE THE SITE!!
Like everything in Life.. Its what you make it. So often last night I heard variations of that concept.I definitely got caught up in all the Magnificent Making. Last nite has been in the making apparently for 2 years. WE just got into the mix starting with Comic Con. Almost 100 percent of the fans who were there went with all the positive flow,,or The Moment. The Art work is Awesome. But ...meeting so many who post here and elsewhere WAS THE REAL MAGNIFICENT.
From MrShow, Steve, Slusho, and his gang,,who yes, had to be calmed down by a few words from passing LA Finest,to LT and Rev Milo, who sacrificed a lot of their time , to record the whole blitz, Maven and Alice, it went by too fast,Mib, we never got to sing Patsy, Patmc, Dennis Justin etc etc etc,,what a HOOT!! My head was spinning. yea, theres a list out there with everyones name on who was in line,,I know I couldn't remember everyone.
So this morning Anne , Latha( Ob8) I and LT ( eventually).. went back and took our time and some of Jensens time in reviewing the previous nite. I also got around to buying the Locke T shirt that forgot about also. All of sudden theres Jensen unloading more left over swag on us. WOW,,Positive energy put forth,,gets rewarded.Jensen filled us in on some of the back ground of the last two years of his life. Latha is really good at asking the right questions just the right way and Anne,,must of shot hundreds of pictures of all the artwork. I took a close look at the Polar Bear Print ( #15) I bought the nite before, yes the only one I didn't have,,but with D&C autograph and a 1 on it,, in other words.. all the Arg Prints on sale,, I think there is only a few not sold,,all are #1 Print with D&C signatures. Price includes the frame they put on them.
I also, got Damon and Carlton..and Misha to sign the DCAAPB Giclee print Paul had sent me so many eons ago..Like I said,,a final destination. Also,, I did ask Carlton a question,,He did not answer. I asked again. He did not answer. I said,," You can't answer that question now. Maybe Later? He said," Much Later." So yea..Final destination has been reached, and its as open ended as I always believed and knew.
I am so glad that Rev and LT's efforts were successful in getting you all the feel of it. When Paul,, and D&C first showed up..you could feel the crowd puckering up their butt cheeks so they would poop in their pants. Me included! I almost shed a tear when Carlton autographed Maven's quilt.
Its not quite over. Still the 16th print to go, but i got the litho version that was given out at the show. I will not even try for the buy now. The Litho version has so many great and magnificent memories and meaning for me..that the authentic print will never match, because they are priceless.
So good luck to all going for it.
Yeah, I love Benny Hill!...
how do you follow in gmail?
Welcome home, MEL. Loved the pictures of you on the beach!
Glad you had a good time Mel.
I hate to do it but I have to cut out. If my husband comes home from work and sees me still sitting in front of the computer he'll have me committed.
Have fun everyone and Good Luck.
Adios!!
Glad you had fun, MEL. Nice way to end it.
Night, Sayid'sgirl!
Hey, MEL, glad you're home safe and sound! You're take on the day is right on! Something special happened on Melrose yesterday...a once in a lifetime experience!
So much for 9/22.
You ask for email to be sent to your gmail account and all the posts will just add together and you can scan down them
damn. Im only going to be able to check every few minutes from here on out... and need to take a 20 min break...
G'nite SG!
good night Sayid's Girl.
I'm not going to be hanging in here much longer either...went to bed too late and much sleep is needed.
Hi people!!! Are we sure that it's going to be released in 30 minutes? :DDDD
So there's no way we don't hit 1000 posts, right?
kiwi -- I DM'ed you on twitter...
with the time?
ObFuSc8: Glad to see you're home safe and sound!
10 minutes til another :42...
how many people would you guys estimate are trying to get their hands on this?
Judging on the variety of comments on this post alone...9?
@oreo: 2
f5?
@marshall: yep 10 mins
There are probably somewhere around 25,000 people who have tried for the last few prints -- I think this will top that.
I don't know Oreo, but maybe with all the confusion about the release time, lots of potential buyers will miss it?
I would say i've heard from about 15 from various forums. Over at dark ufo there seems to be about 30 people in the chat room waiting. They were a bit raunchy so I left.
AG, Oh I wish! Ha!
oreo, there were 20000 hits during the barracks reveal. No web guru, but thats lotsa people!
Camping chat, camping chat...how do I get into these things...good old IRC...
thats what im hoping for. The late post time might slant it better for those of us trying to get one.
LOL! so just you and me then marshall. I like those odds
Holy crap! I just went through my daughter's school work...I had no idea she had done a composition entitled: "The Life of a Polar Bear"! doh! with pictures and everything....
2 many. more than just us, prof. and unfortunately so.
Scout, careful, if you go through your kids things here, they can have you arrested!!
The lack of a specific announced drop time might work in our favor.
Never tell me the odds!
Nice one Han.
after this 23 42, i need a break...
I agree about the drop time. It is with great hope that even flippers will find themselves exhausted on the east coast.
hey... you guys remember the time Hurley was trying to write Empire Strikes Back...! That was hilarious! Love that guy.
@Kiwilostie...no worries. She got it all wrong anyway, she said polar bears live in the Arctic region. She never once mentioned the Tunisian desert or Dharma experimentations.
thanks professor, you cheered me up so much more. I dont feel like sleeping now.
I love that somebody updated Wikipedia after that episode aired and gave Hurley an actual writing credit on the ESB page.
and his whole Darth Vader/Luke motivational speech to Miles... haha.
Very funny, Scoutpost!
For once, being on the west coast has it's advantages!
Scout lmao!
Hey... you guys remember the time when you hit f5 enough and it refreshes to the very top of the page? That is aggravating for Buy Now! Hate it when that happens.
Does that to me every time. It's giving me a headache...
@xxxhardcore - you load the image everytime?
OK, seventh straight :42 on the couch. Thank goodness I grabbed the remote before I sat down.
use firefox and the auto refresh! its so much more convenient and my hands dont feel like they are going to fall off
use firefox and the auto refresh! its so much more convenient and my hands dont feel like they are going to fall off
damn i figured by now you guys would know all the tricks...
@Jeremy Umm... Maybe? I just hit f5, but if I press it a couple of times in succession, it will go back to the top of the page, and I have to scroll back down. Is there some kind of... LOST secret that prevents this?
P.S. I'm a Google Chrome guy. Is fireFox the way?!
I can manually refresh faster than once a second.
who's ready for comment page 5!?
*high fives XXXHardcore* Yay Google Chrome :)
Pressing f5 is the only thing keeping me awake.
Also, its good to CTRL+mouse scroll to shrink the page so you can just see the whole thing each time.
*high fives CreedFeed" Solid!
