I'm really glad you've been able to track a copy down dude, congratulations and as with Sky Shadow...

I too will be crossing my fingers in the hope that your poster will be nestled in the center of the comic. ;):D

Well, here it is! After years of scouring eBay and online comic shops, I finally have the full set of the hand-painted Geoff Senior posters of Unicron's attack on Cybertron which featured in issues 320 - 322 of the Marvel UK comic series :D:D:D

This has been my holy grail for years and my quest has come to an end. It's hard enough getting any of the issues post 300; it's almost impossible to find them with their free gifts still attached.

Now, to get it framed :cool:

Congratulations again though, I'm really happy and pleased for you mate. ;):)

Damn that is a sweet poster man, congrats on finally getting it completed. Now what will you concentrate on as your Grail?

Thanks for the comments guys :)

A spare missile for G1 Sideswipe ;)

The way I think of a 'grail' item is that it's the penultimate of collectables and nothing can surpass or replace it. Some people probably think I'm a bit crazy making a poster my grail, but I never really explained why.

Collecting Transformers to me means reliving all the things that made my childhood great. This poster is equally important to me because I use to have it stuck above my bed when I was a kid and I use to just sit there staring at it. Now that I have all three posters, it brings back a lot of memories for me.

It's absolutely huge too. It measures 125 x 55 cms. I'm not looking forward to getting quotes on how much it will cost to frame it.

Impressive.

I collected all of the UK issues from about Target:2006 (issue 80-something?) up to the final issue, but I don't recall the posters.

Maybe someone nicked the posters from the issues at my local newsagent :confused:

MOSC G1 Guzzle...Want one more than anything! Please let me know if you see one my fellow bots. :)
