June 2018
Happy June, y'all! (not part of my usual lingety, I just co-opted it from my southern neighbors 
)
Anyhow, welcome to probably the least exciting start to a recent acquisitions thread ever! Today I give you a hand painted half sheet I purchased for 2 reasons: first, the title amused me and I thought it would be fun in the poster lair at some point, and second, because it was a whoppin' three bucks.
Next, I'm sure many will question my sanity for buying this one, as it's in terrible condition, but it was on my "keep an eye out for one" list, and this one was a significantly higher five bucks from the same seller. I'm pretty sure I can patch it back together to satisfactorily display it in the lair, however, so I proudly present to you a well traveled Allotment Wives 1 sheet:

A title that's not particularly rare, but I didn't have it in any format yet, so a db will do nicely. Diana Dors being naughty yet again:
This one I had never seen before. The artwork isn't quite what the US paper has, but I like the bold, sensationalistic title, and it'll go well with the other youth-gone-wrong stuff I have:
(okay, not really, but it’s still a good song
Myself, well this beauty finally landed on my doorstep 5 minutes ago! The repeatedly opened/resealed tube didn't fill me with joy, but thankfully the force is strong with my Star Wars 3 Sheet thanks to Studio C!
More noir goodness Chris, well done!
Wonderful star wars 3 sheet Will!! Glad all landed ok and am also interested if their was any damage during inspection. It will be a beauty framed on the wall. Might be one to go all out on proper framing, probably a poster to enjoy for life.
I'm also saving for a special star wars poster!
I feared the worst so photographed the ripped packing paper before carefully unrolling. The only points of any note are some dirty fingerprints on the top right border (I guessing there were no hand wash stations at the customs depot?), I'm quietly confident an eraser may get rid of those.
So in all I'm very happy with it and once Invahoe is up in a couple of weeks, this beauty is next!
Wow, Wil! I'm looking forward to seeing pics of those 2 giant beauties on the wall! I loves me some big posters, and those are spectacular examples!
The Propstore have some beautiful Quads on offer at the moment, if it wasn't for needing to frame a tonne of stuff, the Ice Cold in Alex quad would definitely get some action from me. The Dambusters looks amazing, but I reckon that'll end up going for a small fortune!
@Chris
Great stuff! so much to like; Sleeping City, Shakedown, both Bunco Squad's are wonderful, and Action North Atlantic is meant be framed and displayed! Great collection!
I loves me some early exploitation/sexploitation when I can find it, and here's a lobby that will do nicely:
I don't have any paper for this title yet, but I'm kinda holding out for a half sheet, as it has the best tagline for my tastes. Anyhoo, I thought until the planets align and a half sheet appears, I'll frame up a lobby or two:
And lastly, the taglines make this lobby. It's those *&%#$ trouble causing, hooligan kids again:
