All right, I got my banner today. Its much larger than I expected. Its about the size of a full poster. Nice detail too!

Mine is sitting at the store for when I get off work.

Pro tip: If you ever see me post about how a CE seems too expensive, that's me trying to talk myself out of it. It didn't work this time. ;)

Ordered mine from S-E and it should arrive today. Also called my friend who's the manager of the GS I frequent and asked if they got in any extra wall scrolls. They did, and he's holding one for me so I'll grab that after work. :D

Win-win situation my friend.  Congrats!

I have measurements of the banner/scroll. First, I have to say this thing is beautiful. Its very graphic and almost looks HD. Impressive as hell.

It feels like silk (like the same material as a normal wall scroll). Its 39 1/2 inches tall and 23 inches across. Pretty good sized.

I will get my CE tomorrow. All the loops that Squenix went through to make sure it didnt arrive at people's home before the street date didnt take into consideration that Monday was a federal holiday for some places.

Any GS with extra banners? Do you think they'll let me buy any extra banner?

Does it have a wooden dowel in it like a lot of wall scrolls do, or is it just the cloth?  Davifus, assuming it's just cloth & my store has another extra, I'll see if I can get it & stick it in your package I'm sending you. I'll let you know tonight if I'm successful. :)

I didn't realize that GS would be selling what SE was calling an SE Store-exclusive edition  ???

The bf hasn't mentioned the banners yet, but I'll see if he can snag me one today.  Also, my edition doesn't arrive until tomorrow for me  :'(

Also, Soera, isn't it nice that GS is allowing you guys to wear current-game related shirts now? My bf is so happy to not have to wear collared shirts anymore, especially with the heatwaves we've been having the last few months.

Dav, sorry, got the people I was dealing with mixed up.  :o  That said, I did get you a DQH wall scroll. If we work out the deal on what you were interested in I'll just pack it in with that, otherwise you can just pay the shipping on the scroll (which will be very little) and I'll send it to ya! :D

My bf's store didn't get any posters. I might just have to resort to eBay unless anyone finds themselves with a bunch of posters available!

Haven't heard back from davifus yet, but if he doesn't want/need it, it's yours.

All right, answering stuff -

The banner is just cloth. No dowel or anything.

The Slime edition from Gamestop isnt exactly the same as the one from SE. There isnt any other DLC other than the normal day one stuff.

A lot of stores didnt get too many pre-orders so if there are extras, Im sure they would let you snag one.

The banner/scroll is pretty sweet.  High quality with vivid colors.

I ended up getting dinner with the bf and his coworkers late last night, and they found the box of banners after he left (none of them knew about the preorder exclusive either, ha).  They brought me two (one for another friend of mine who'd gotten his game at GS already), so I'm good!

Thanks for looking out!  ;D

And I agree with everyone else - it's a really nice one.

I couldn't tell the diff from the pictures, but maybe I'm missing something...
