FF:WA Vader Sightings

With the new movie, we need a new thread. This one is inspired by a poster that I saw that everyone needs to see. I'm hoping someone else has spotted it so they can share in my awe at the magnificence of the poster, and can help me work out how to obtain something that huge for Soup...

Has anyone seen the MASSIVE Vader poster that is down the street from the train station in Perth? Across the road from the blue building that used to be a LAN centre but is now a Japanese resteraunt? (I'm useless with street names). The spot always used to be reserved for those stupid beer ads with the dog or the massive truck/beer fridge. The poster is ENORMOUS. It's a billboard that is just... I can't even describe how big it is (being no good with sizes and all, I'm pretty hopeless aren't I?).

The poster simply says "Rise Lord Vader" and the date the movie is released. Leaving the rest of the poster to have a volcanic kind of background with the classic Vader choke pose. But much better. And HUGE. It is the kind of poster that you could use to wallpaper most of your house with. And I can't find a picture of it to show you so I'm going to have to take a photo of it somehow. Unless someone in Perth can beat me to it?

So anyway, now that I've gushed sufficiently about this poster, tell me your Vader sightings. Are there any posters like this around that you have seen? What promotional posters have you seen and where? Provide images if you can, I'll keep looking for one of the Vader.

EDIT:

While trying to find images of the poster, I found some others that I thought I'd share. You can seem them here (search for "Revenge of the Sith" if it doesn't already come up). Posters I thought looked awesome in that are this one, and this one.

Now, share!

 

Fallen I think your talking bout this one

Just also, do not click to view the other images if you are not fans of spoilers! just to be advised!

 

Hey! That's the same picture they use on the Coco-pops packet!

 

hahah yeah i think it is... !!!

Just be careful if your not a spoiler fan to look at the other pictures on that page..

 

I walk past it EVERY day to and from film school

 

Kaustin, you are a god! I am so putting that on Soup's desktop right now. He'll be stoked when he wakes up tonight!

How awesome is that poster though! And just how huge is it! I'm sorry, I don't get into the city much. That's probably been up for months and I only saw it yesterday...

 

Should see the 3 storey high one at Fox

 

S_M, the one in Perth looks about 3 stories..could be the same size

 

Sweet...


This one isn't exactly the same though, and is kinda spoilerish.

I feel sorry for all the uber spoiler free ppl (and yes, some here haven't seen any images at all) that are going to walk into Fox for the premiere and then see that right out front...

 

Take a photo of it and PM me the address?
The one over here isn't exactly like that. The only difference I can see is that the text isn't in the same spot on the wallpaper as it is on the poster. Soup is going to take a photo of it tonight at work, but he only has a mobile phone camera so I don't know how good the pic will turn out, and he won't take my digi cam to work with him.

 

I'll get a photo of it on Monday while I'm out shooting a video.

 

Cheers

 

As promised.

Sorry it's not a great pic, was in a rush.

SM, is that the same one as you have over there?

I've seen it 3 feet high inside the Town hall train station (along with Yoda, Obi Wan and Grievous ones) and it's on Oxford street about the same size.

I'll try and get a pic of the one at Fox next time I'm out there and have a camera handy, it's different to that one, but really, really cool.

And huge!

 

I've seen it 3 feet high

Do you mean three story high?

 

Nope, 3 feet high inside the train station out to the massive one on Oxford st. Just saying they're in all sizes...

 

Oooooooh I getcha

 

I've got a not too bad picture of that one near the train station if your interested FA.

I can email it to ya if ya want.

 

Thanks, but now we're more interested in how to take it down without tearing the poster... And where the hell to put it.
