timbrh2001 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I don't get why the Horkey LOTR is worth so much. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mondo-Lord-of-the-Rings-Return-of-the-King-Poster-by-Aaron-Horkey-X-260-SOLD-OUT-/380572522273?pt=Art_Posters&hash=item589be3d721 I don't even think it's that much cooler than the others, if at all. Timbr shed some light please! Because it was an event exclusive print for a Mondo Mystery Movie, meaning it wasn't sold to the masses online. So much of Mondo's fanbase buys and sells on hype and how limited and exclusive something is. It's also a popular artist doing a popular title and people are going to pass off their added costs (i.e. entrance fee) onto the buyer. I do like Horkey's ROTK variant a lot but it's certainly somewhere in the middle if I were to rank all of his prints in order. Definitely not high on my ISO list but will go higher if I do end up scoring the other 2 LOTRs and need to complete the set. It also can be found much cheaper than $1300. That's just your typical foolish eBay price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Avatar Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Yeah of course it can be found for less - but there are a ton of offers on the item, so i'm quite curious as to what people are actually offering. Also, the storm out of the mountains poster i really dont like at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the storm out of the mountains poster i really dont like at all. Interest has definitely risen on Horkey's ROTK print due to the fact that we know there is at least another Horkey LOTR print on the very near horizon (hopefully tomorrow and not MMM). I'm guessing the offers are more in line with it's recent price history? Certainly less than $1300 but probably more in line with $800-900 http://expressobeans.com/members/detail.php/153858/history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Mondo has single-handedly ruined any and all chances for Horkeymaniacs (as timbrh and myself) to score them on drops. At least as easy and w/o issues as it used to be in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People be learn'n I have not been a fan at all of their business plan this year. Of course there have been more than a few gems released (Horkey's TWBB might be my favorite Mondo release ever, just to name an example) but the bulk of what they've done seems to be a quantity over quality type approach.
