久しぶりですね!

After allowing this matter to constantly slip my mind for the past 2 weeks, I finally got down to contacting the distributor for "Taiyo no Uta" in Singapore on the availability of the 27” x 40” (67.5cm x 100cm) movie posters. For those in Singapore who still remember the Giveaway Contest in Zaobao Weekly (the one where glax won the single), it's the same poster I'm talking about.

Quoted below are the email exchanges between me and their marketing point-of-contact. I have removed our email addresses (in case we get targeted by spam bots) and my full name (sorry, I'm shy, haha).

Although Thomas did not explicitly mention in his reply that the posters are indeed for sale, I suppose we can assume that we are allowed to buy them. Quite a casual reply (stares at the time he replied....) but with something to start with, I can go on to establish the following details with him:

- Mode of delivery or collection (are they willing to ship outside of Singapore?)
- Mode of payment (cash over the counter?)
- Actual cost of the posters (still S$40?)
- Actual quality and dimensions of the posters
- How the poster looks like (like the one we see at the cinemas?)


I believe some of you might be interested in this, especially Flare who is going to kill me for doing this so late. If you really want to get the poster, please REPLY here in this thread and I will get back to Thomas.

For those in Singapore, it probably won't be much of a problem since we can always make a trip down to their office and collect it personally. It's the overseas part that's tricky. :swt

I will need a rough estimate on how many people really want the poster before I get back to him, which might be on Monday afternoon. I'm not sure how many of those posters they have left so I will base it on a first-come-first-serve basis in case demand outstrips supply. I certainly hope that he is not kidding me when he asked how many I (or we) intend to buy.

Below is the list of people who have replied to this thread. If you are actually NOT intending to buy, please remove your name from the list. If you are, please add yours. I know Flare has not replied yet but I will put his name at the top since I know that he IS the one most desperate for it.

1. Flare
2. Kai-san
3. ~eve~
4. Dashwolf
5. rubberduck
6. Fanny (?)
7. cherii
8. shazlee (?)
9.

I may mount one before framing, so I need 1 to keep in 'original' condition

I can help the Singaporeans go pick it up too. I work shift, so there will be working days and office hours where I would be free.

shazlee's double entry removed. Sorry for not starting a proper list immediately when I started this thread, thus resulting in some confusion earlier on. Based on whoever replied on this thread first, the above should be the appropriate order. Exception is hitokirix.

I will get back to Thomas either before 9.30am or after 3.30pm (lessons in between), and tell him that we currently more than 10 people interested. I'm actually quite worried that LHP doesn't have that many posters for so many of us. It's not like buying CDs from HMV or Amazon. Just keep your fingers crossed for the time being.

As for those YUI-lovers based overseas, shipping a poster is definitely going to be a problem since I think it is quite likely to get folded up.

Thomas is pretty quick at replying.... Okay, we have a new situation here.

The posters are matt laminated.... I know what's normal lamination, but anybody seen matt laminated stuff before? My guess is that it most probably can't be folded or even rolled up. Pretty big piece of thing hanging on the wall which can't kept elsewhere easily.... I doubt it will be an easy task sending it overseas either.

They are specially printed to order and we have to pay in advance first, so that's somewhere around S$800 or more. Pretty large sum of money to hand over to a single man without a guarantee that we will be given a proof of receipt or something like that.... We need to take extra precautions regarding payment issues.

What say you, guys?
