ChicaSkas 22,344 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Hi Everyone ! This thread is for all the hardcore Gaga fans who search for, collect, and cherish the vast amount of promotional Gaga memorabilia that's out there. Such as: -- Advertising posters from stores and companies -- Store Displays and Cardboard Cutouts -- Advertisments printed in newspapers, magazines and digital media -- Leaflets, stickers, paper ephemera that was destined to be thrown away. (if I missed anything, let me know, I'll add it) I will be listing the names of stores to call in each country, and updating this list as we go along. In the USA: -- Best Buy (www.bestbuy.com) -- Costco (www.costco.com) -- Target (www.target.com) -- Walmart (www.walmart.com) In Australia: In The United Kingdom: In Asia: In France: In Canada: When in doubt: www.ebay.com To be added to and updated a lot! So everyone, feel free to upload pictures of your promo materials here to share and enjoy and discuss :) Do YOU own the 4' by 6' Perfect Illusion promo Poster? Will pay you for it.

Greg 6,330 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I have one of the security sensor posters used in HMV. It's grey with the picture of her standing sideways with a shoe on her head, with some information about Born This Way and a T-Shirt. Its about 1.5 metres tall.

u.f.o 0 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 ...You can ask for those things? AND THEY'LL GIVE THEM AWAY?! Oh my goodness, guess what my new favorite past time is!! Right now I have five posters (TFM shoot, Poker Face shoot, the Gaga Photobucket Promo poster, a Just Dance Promo poster, and the BTW poster) and a window cling that came with something I bought (I can't remember what, it looks like the Telephone UK single) But I will definitely be calling stores from now on.

Not really tho. Sometimes they have to send them back to a department that distributes promotional stuff and sometimes employees want them. It sucks but you should definitely try getting something with the next release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks but you should definitely try getting something with the next release. So true. I have been doing this for years with my Lion King Memorabilia :) and I've liberated a few too when nothing else worked I'm going to write a long tutorial about how to do this successfully because I swear to God everyone reading this deserves a shot at TRULY COLLECTIBLE material like this. 95% of store displays are manufactured with the ultimate intention of destroying them at a later date. Collectors like us break that cycle. Do YOU own the 4' by 6' Perfect Illusion promo Poster? Will pay you for it.

Collectors like us break that cycle. So true though. I heard from a Disney collector that when Disney closed most of their mall stores the dancing figurines in the windows were ordered to be destroyed. Apparently the ones that got smuggled out are going for like $1000 + now. It really sucks because of the people that want to enjoy them. I like the tutorial idea. Let me know if you need some consulting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ K COOP 1 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 God, I wish I would have had the guts to ask the guys at FYE for the BORN THIS WAY cardboard display with a cutout of Lady Gaga before it disappeared. :cry: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
