Maxell "Blown Away" poster

[taxman48]

just received my "Blown Away" poster free from Maxell. Seen a thread over at the Audio Theory and Setup forum. Emailed Maxell and it came in the mail today. Almost forgot about it. They might make it available when their online store opens up.. http://maxell-usa.com/index.aspx?id=7;33;108;110

I emailed them and got a response on the 14th of August but still waiting for the poster...I hope that it does arrive.

I have a large poster of the original photgraph that Maxell used for their ads. It's just the guy, his TV, the lamp, and don't forget that martini about to fall over. It's a great shot...Got it at a poster store in town.

[spongeA]

Just email them and they will send you a poster?

[taxman48]

SpongeA: yep, found out about it on AVS and followed email instructions. Withing a few weeks they mailed a poster out to me..

[spongeA]

Good deal! I am going to give it a try...

[bakpakva]

Mine came in the mail today. Very nice!~

[spongeA]

I just searched for instructions and can't find any? I assume just go to their website and email their customer service.

[taxman48]

SpongeA: I found out about the poster in the "Audio Theory & Setup" forum. The thread is called Audiophile posters. Just email customer service with your address and say you would like one for your HT.... good luck :D

Ive always wanted one of these. this is great. I actually read this post at 345am, dont ask, and felt froggy enough to call and believe it or not someone picked up and said Maxell how can I direct your call. AWESOME.

I informed him that I was interested in the Blown Away poster and he said, "yup we are giving those away right now, would you like one?" Why Yes sir dont mind if I do. He took down my info and said they'd send one out.

This is a great find, kudos to whoever found this.

[spongeA]

good deal! Thanks Taxman

I actually had an original of these hanging on my bedroom wall (in the basement - don't ask and don't call me "Ruprict the monkey boy,") 30 years ago. I would say that was advertising money well spent by Maxell way back when!

They were nice enough to reply to my email and send me a poster too. That's customer service!

Here's the response that I got:

Thank you for contacting Maxell.

We appreciate your interest in Maxell and our products. Your request has been submitted to our corporate office and the poster will be sent to the address you included in your email as soon as they are available.

Again, thank you for contacting Maxell Technical Support.

Susan S.

Very cool, thanks for the heads up!

[spongeA]

^that's exactly what I received. Susan is so nice :)

[mflanagan]

Yep I got an email from Susan too. I think she likes me! :o

[Revolver]

Cool, just got my email response from Susan (she gets around, huh? :D) Looking forward to getting this poster and free is always a good price.

[mason]

Just got mine in the mail yesterday! That was fast.

[dennisgg]

Got mine really fast too! Very cool to have!

[Munkee Boy]

Just shot off an email last night, have not heard anything back yet. How long did it take for you guys to get a response? I hope they are still giving these out...

Edit: Nevermind, got the confirmation email tonight. Thanks OP!

[brivnov]

I just received my poster after only 2 weeks. Very cool. Going to try and find a frame this weekend for it

[options]

I sent in my request on Sept 27. Susan S. replied on the 29th and I just received the poster this morning.

[Munkee Boy]

Looks like the lovely Susan S. if off the case, because my confirmation email was from a Christopher S.

Mine too!

[Kensmith48]

How does the poster arrive? Folded up or in a tube? What size is it?
TIA

[taxman48]

comes in a tube, roughly 21" x 40"

[Robby-P]

Hi guys! New to the forum here. Anyhoo in regards to the blown away guy pic I just made my own and added my favorite speaker. :D

[Munkee Boy]

Just got mine from the UPS guy! Wow, 4 days from email to receipt of the poster. Very quick for a freebie.

[Luman]

As of Oct 11, Christopher S. is still on the case and sending posters. Thanks for the tip!

[thefreeauction]

Yep. Christopher S. responded to my email also on the 11th. Can't wait for it to come in!!!

[Luman]

Well I received mine today ... in a semi-mashed tube bent about 60 degrees :(

(I know there is something witty to say about gettng what you pay for here .....)

[ND23]

Got mine yesterday (Monday).

[Dcostanza]

Got mine as well so they are still available.

[brivnov]

Anyone find a good place to get a frame for this poster?

[spongeA]

I will likely just go to Micheal's and have one made...

Nice Avatar ND23 Go Cards!!! one more game!!!

[Smokeymi30]

I emailed Maxwell a week ago and got yesterday.....amaing how fast this took...

[Revolver]

I wonder if they forgot to mail mine? It's been a few weeks. :(

[Kensmith48]

I ordered mine last Friday (the 13th) and got it today. Not counting the weekend, it took 4 days. I was surprised to see UPS delivering it.

[thefreeauction]

Got mine the other day. One end of the tube was crunched just a little. Small wrinkles in the poster across the bottom. It was free -- I can live with it. Now to get a cheap frame for it somewhere...

[Revolver]

Got mine yesterday finally. The middle of the tube was smashed with a nice boot print on it. I'm ironing out the creases and wrinkles now. Still have to love free stuff. I still, however, hate UPS with a passion!

[cqdx1]

FYI for folks in Canada .... maxell.ca is being just as generous as the US office and best part is they don't ship by UPS, but rather use CanadaPost and my poster arrived in 2 days after sending the request! Way to go Maxell!

[lmunz22]

I just ordered mine today. For anybody who is wondering, you just have to email techsupp@maxell.com with your name and address stating tht you want one of these posters.

[swithey]

Just sent an email to Susan at Maxell they are now $14.99/ea through the Maxell Store (http://www.pcxhost.com/store/st7/tp8/home.jsp?unique=1165277931991&sid=EB90223B0C629A2A21896B9D7ADDA22733AA8669&SessionID=6492911&source=launch).

I've often wondered if Peter Murphy (lead singer of Bauhaus) gets kick-backs from the usage of this image?

If you didn't know, it's him in the pic.

There was also a video version of this poster. Instead of a speaker the guy was sitting in front of a TV. I don't recall if the guy was the same person or not.

HERE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DP89iMe0BY) is the original commercial with the speaker. What a classic :)

Here it is, as photographed from the original photographer without the Maxell "ad" in the corner. I find this much more tasteful...
