NegaScott variant of a screen printed limited edition (140) poster that's 24 x 36. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World was amazing, as is the game and the graphic novels. So, for $225, would you throw down the money to have an awesome, rare poster like that? Imagine framing that in a nice frame and keeping it forever. D00d!
 
I ask this because I love movie posters, a lot. There is really not much of a chance of me finding it at a cheaper price. I'm just trying to find if the money is really worth this.
 
Apologies! This one is the Buy It Now $225 one.

I think it would be a little more stylish if it was the drawn nega-scott from the book, but this is pretty awesome.  Not $225 worth of awesome though.

@super_mario_john: But what about in ten years when you look back on how awesome that movie is, and you have this amazing and unique poster to show that you were there when it was released, that it was a part of your culture and generation?

If you're a big enough fan of the movie to justify the price tag, knock yourself out.

If movie posters were my thing, yeah, I'd thrown down the money.
 
Wait a minute. $225? It's only up to GBP 49.99.

@Napalm: I just find it hard to justify spending $225 on a movie poster, even a really awesome one. 
 
Also, the dude selling this has some sort of can (possibly a beverage) holding the poster down.  Not cool...

Price seems a little steep if you ask me.

Personally, myself, I would not. But I'm not you and you're not me. 
I did however buy a fuzzy variation of this poster for 5 dollars and some tax change to-day.

Think of it like a piece of art, which it essentially is. It's not a reprint on nice paper. It's screened printed with metallic colors. It's an expensive and time-consuming process. Only special prints are made this way. If this was a normal poster, I wouldn't even think about it. This is a rare case.

Would I buy it? Fuck no. Should you buy it? If you like it and got the money to waste on something silly like that sure. I don't know what kind of value you place on owning something like that so I can't say.

$225 for a Scott Pilgrim poster? Dude...
 
Dude, it could have Mary Elizabeth Winstead naked on it and I still wouldn't pay that much.

That's just the bombcast with Michael Cera as a guest host!

I think it's sweet, but the woman would never allow it. Besides, there's so much artwork on the walls in this apartment I don't even know where I could put it.

Meh.  I don't think I would want a poster of Michael Cera on my wall.

I wouldn't pay more than $10 for a poster. Maybe $20 if it's high quality.
It's just a piece of damn paper. No piece of paper is worth $225... unless it's a cheque.

Isn't Scott Pilgrim supposed to be a male?
