Unfortunately Mondo, for some reason, has made all their new prints coming out today as US only :evil:

It seems demand always exceeds supply for most Mondo runs but I'm not sure if that is because flippers are buying them or if fans are buying them.
I'm sure Stan's Usagi print will be in the second or third wave but they release them for sale at random times and they sell out in seconds. Then they pop up on eBay a few hours later for double and triple the price.
Hopefully Stan is able to sell a few to dojo members or at some upcoming shows. I'm afraid if they went up on the site they would get wiped out by flippers.

There doesn't seem to be much demand for this particular print because it's still available! I've never heard of the artist, but I think it's pretty cool.

Stan has mentioned that he'll release some signed APs on his website. The numbered prints from Mondo are not signed from what I've seen on eBay. I'm hoping he'll give us a little heads up like he did with the Exclusive figures. 8)

I just saw they still had some available. Ciro Nieli has some other prints that are really unique and well done. Shipping is almost $15 per print for Mondo. That seems high to me and bumps it off my list. I'll hold out for Stan's print.

Yes, fingers crossed for a heads up before they are posted!

Fortunately, they keep shipping the same if you order multiple prints, so I was able to order one for myself and a different print for a friend, so that way we share the shipping cost and get it down to a more reasonable $7.50 each.

Looks like all the prints are still available several hours later. I can't help but wonder if peak Mondo saturation has happened and there is declining interest. The line for their booth at SDCC this year was way shorter than in previous years. Usually there was a giant line that was constantly capped due to the length, and it was pretty consistent in maintaining that length (it would taper off towards the end of the day). This year, however, I was able to just walk right up in the middle of the day and only had one or two people in front of me. The line wasn't always that short, but most of the time I walked by it was only a fraction of the length from previous years.

It's not up on the Mondo site yet, but you can see what it looks like in this thread: http://www.usagiyojimbo.com/forum3/view ... f=2&t=8451

That is good news for multiple prints.
I was shocked that they were still available as well.
I see nothing but negative feedback from customers trying to get prints over the last year or so. I know comment sections are usually a big pile of complaints but these customers were all having the same specific issues. I'm sure many fans are just worn out from trying to get something they love and constantly being beaten to it by flippers. There are a ton of Mondo prints on eBay and they are double the price of what Mondo sells them for. Most are not selling and many have had price reductions. I do agree the market may be saturated.

Yes I agree this is really good news. At first I thought there is no way I would be able to score a Sakai Mondo print but now thinking...hey I might actually have a fair chance lol.
I think the prints from Mondo are limited to 225, and Stan has about 35 AP's.

I thought I posted a comment here the other day but don't see it now.

I can't claim to be interested in this print, but would still love to get one of the Usagi / Turtles Mondo prints with Stan's artwork, if they ever become available to those of us who can't attend the West Coast events (actually, I am not sure where the Mondo exhibit was).

Mondo will be selling Stan's print tomorrow, at a random time of day.
