    Do the mini's come with omakes? I think it's cool that they come packed with mini header cards.

    I believe the extras included with this set, in lieu of smaller vinyl omakes, were a pair of menko cards, which I am sure are packed with some amazing HS art. :)

    It looks like a mini version of the poster is the image on one of them.

    ^yup, but as Steve said I bet when you flip them over, Hirota has put at least several different sets of images on the back of the cards. Good call Steve! I will provide scans of mine when they arrive.

    Nice one James, congrats! The menko sets are really nice too, I would have loved those. Did anyone start receiving the minis? I wonder if the menko included there were in addition to these two sets.

    Ahahahhaa! You would think that was a trait I had picked up somewhere along the line in my 14 years + of post-secondary education, but I guess not. :razz:

    We all got a set. I really like the posters, so it was a no brained for me.

    Hoping to grab a poster after the next toy sale ends and the people who picked up a poster just to get entered chuck em online, wasn't a fan of the menko cards and i dont really wear badges so didnt want to pick up the set myself. the poster though was a thing of beauty

    What!?! The menko cards are great! Artwork in the front and the back, had to get both sets (please the headers are very cool). And pins are fun to collect even if you aren't going to necessarily wear them. I have quite a few toy related ones already.

    I missed the poster like a total dumbass, thought the application was open until the 5th. That's alright, my minis more than console me :). The cards are outstanding too. Just one card per set of minis, not two as previously speculated.

    Definitely will pick a poster up down the road, there should be plenty sloshing around. It's the best poster to date I think.

    It looks like I didn't get one... So Hirota not only ignores my mail for toys but also for posters now :cry:

    They were cool, but for me its something i'd struggle to know what quite to do with, not something i think necessarily suits being framed so they'd just end up in a draw for me to pull out once in a blue moon, the artwork is great but i personally prefer it on a larger scale, the print is right up my street, hopefully i can have the trio framed next to each at some point.

    It felt good to receive an email from hxs, even if it wasn't for a winning lottery. Atleast they acknowledge my existence. :lol: both sets of hope for me. Poster is def getting framed.

    Looking forward to my poster set ! Menko cards & buttons look really nice too.

    Ordered mine fairly early , but I thought it was a open run until March 5th as well. But I guess there had to be a limited number of them available...?

    Well, if anyone here has privileged contacts with Hirota and can vouch for me as a serious guy really wanting the poster, please pm me, I'll tell you the address which I used for asking the poster.
    Many thanks.

    The poster was not an open unlimited run. It hints it is limited in Japanese saying it will give customers first consideration for those that purchase both menko sets than those just going for the regular set of getting 1 menko.
