Subject: Ancients Poster & Battalion Backpack! (Pictures inside!)

You better close this sig when your done.

I need an awesome frame!

Here are a few pics of the Ancients poster and my backpack.

The poster is huge, way bigger than I had imagined, the paper is high-quality and the colors look great! Also the poster was shipped flat, not rolled!


The backpack is a little smaller than I expected (width wise), but it was squished flat for shipping so I'm sure once its filled up it'll look bigger. The backpack, just like the poster, is really high-quality and durable. I'll be getting to test this backpack out in a few weeks so I'll let you guys know how it holds up.
I just looked at it again and its got tons of pockets, two laptop sleeves and it has soft padding on the back and shoulder straps. It looks like it would be super comfortable to carry around.

If there's anything you want to know about these two things specifically, just ask and I'll do my best to answer.

My Bungie Town poster is still on its way and I'll post pictures for it once it gets in too. Why do frames have to be so expensive!!!

Oh god I want that ancients poster, I just can't bring myself to buy it though seeing as I'm afraid it will be in bits by the time it gets here

Actually, I find that I'm more invincible without pants, which is why I am not wearing any at the moment.

Nice, enjoy that backpack, I got it at the start of this last school year, its awesome.

Make choices, and don't look back.

Wow, the poster looks huge! Then again my "On the edge" poster was a lot larger than I had anticipated. Michael's sells some cheap frames. I don't know if you have that where you live, but I got a frame for my poster for 5 bucks. They even do custom framing and you can usually get a discount too. And the backpack looks sweet, I've always contemplated buying it. Was it worth the money? Fall semester starts soon for me.. Maybe it's time for a new backpack.

If you manage to find some cheap frames, you should let me know! I ordered every single poster from the store, and am looking to frame them.

Also, is your poster a little creased or is it just me?

I really can't tell you if its worth the price from just looking at it, but if you give me about 30 minutes I'll turn off my computer jam it in there and load it up with tons of other stuff to give it a good test!

It bent a little in the center somewhere along the way. Not much anyone can do about it, its a long poster and the weak point in the cardboard was in the center. :\ Aside from that, it looks great!

I received my "The Ancients" poster a couple of days ago. I checked how much a frame costed for it and it was like $40 plus shipping D:

That better be a nice frame for that kind of money, was it a custom frame? Or an already made one?

It was custom. 16x33 isn't your average dimensions for framing something. So I understand why it's pretty expensive.

Do all of the posters come with the signed Bungie card?
-PS is the backpack waterproof?

Ok, I put 3 giant harry potter books, 1 laptop, a small Handycam camera, a mouse and power supply in the backpack to try and weigh it down. At first it was really uncomfortable on my shoulders but after I buckled the chest strap the weight shifted to my lower back and it almost felt weightless.

You can fit a ton of stuff into it if you use all the pockets properly, and two laptops can easily fit in the two designated pockets (except the pocket inside the backpack is a little harder to use.)

So far its a really nice high-quality backpack and I can't really say more until I've actually gotten to use it on a road trip.

It actually came with the backpack and I nearly threw it away with the packaging lol. I think the card will come with whatever you buy in the store since it all goes to charity. (It has stuff about the Bungie Foundation on the back of it.)

Waterproof? Eh, I don't think so, I found this on the bungie store, but that's about it.

I used my old halo backpack for collage.... held a lot of books! and I have used it when moving from my moms to my dads and then to my bfs house. Carried alot of things in there! and I have used it when going bike riding up to a friends collage... held everything I needed!

I don't think mine has that chest strap or not... I don't remember. But I think i still need to adjust where the back pack sits on me.. I always have a hard time with that stuff XD
