Since you appear to have the interest of fans in mind, I have a question about the Mondo poster end of the business.
You have fans that love movies, you love movies, you share this experience together. To heighten it, you've had custom posters made out of many cult and classic movies, and finally started to sell them.
It has however, reached the point where a poster sells out between 10 and 30 seconds, a fan buying it has less of a chance than someone who is going to resell it (this is not speculation, on the day of a poster drop just plug its name into ebay) for a massive profit, boxing out fans who don't have hundreds if not thousands to support their fandom.
Since the current model supports the "look how exclusive we are" ideal more than the "we love our fans, let's do something fun together" ideal, do you have any plans to switch to unlimited print runs? You could still offer limited small quantity variants to cover the resellers and uber-fans, have the regular edition only be sold for one day, or one hour in the afternoon when people are out of work.
As someone who both loves and displays your prints, but also camped out for 9 hours to get the olly moss star wars prints and made 2k on the internation resale, I have a foot in both camps.
