Great post, I couldn't agree more - the prints are one of my favorite Wacky items, and Kendall and LTL had great customer service (and I wish they had done the postcards, especially H8!). I can't figure why Topps didn't give them more support.

I love my 2' Blunder Bread and 1' Demented, like my 1' Kook Aid, and was disappointed in my 2' Commie Cleanser as the lettering is poor. It was obviously taken from a scan of the original art where the press on letters have begun to come off. Of the 8" ones I got, I really like Shot Wheels and Ajerx and kinda wished I had larger ones, especially of Ajerx.

My office now has a warm Wacky look to it. The only title anyone can see as they walk by is a 2' Quacker Oats - once they step in, they often look around and kinda go "whoa" - as in "whoa, I didn't know you were nuts".

I hope we are able to get this type of wall cling printed again at some point in the future.

Of all of them I bought, the 2' Blunder is my favorite - it's been up on my living room wall, right next to a 2' Ajerx, since these first debuted.  I have an 8" Kook Aid up, but didn't think the image quality warranted ordering a larger one.  But, the 11" Demented I just got is sweet!

I agree, the 8" Shot Wheels and Ajerx are nice.  The 8" Commie looked a little blurry, so I'm not surprised that the 2' size is disappointing.  I never did buy a Quacker Oats, don't know how I managed to forget that one last month.  That would have fit in well with either the 8" combo sets or the 11" titles I got.  Oh well, I was bound to miss something.  Perhaps we'll see LTL trades in the future.

highly doubtful anything is left. they were all individually made-to-order done print-on-demand. which means there's no inventory or excess laying around taking up space.

I checked a few days out of curiosity and looks like they no longer list the WPs. Since they accept individual submissions, I would assume they would still produce a WP if your provide the image.

Good question. Dont' think that they would be allowed, but not sure if you provided the image. Still, it wouldn't be as nice, unless you have suberb images. You can just see what was previously disgussed here in the past few posts about the end results image quality.

This was a Christmas present to myself - a 6 foot Gyppy Pop. I had to get at least one mammoth print while I still could. The resolution is incredible. All details are sharp for it's size. I'm so happy with it! I also bought a few more, but only at the "tiny" 2 foot size ;) Those are Frankenbrainy, Chock Full & Whatchemacrawlit.

I don't think they can do any Topps images now that they don't have the license.  I'm wondering how this would affect titles that Topps rejected - perhaps those could be reproduced now.

Wow - that is incredible!  I decided to go with more, smaller titles, but looking at that giant Gyppy Pop kind of makes me wish I'd sprung for one humongous print.  Did you need help putting that up? 

Funny, my 2' Blunder and Ajerx prints seemed so big when I put them up, and now that I'm used to them, they don't seem quite so big.  I wonder what a 6' Blunder would have looked like......

I did get a 1' Gyppy Pop in my final order, and it came out really nice, but yours just looks amazing!

Oh and thanks Brad for the heads up. I would have missed out on getting this otherwise. I am bummed that LTL will not be printing Wackys anymore, because they look awesome. The giant Gyppy is one of the coolest Wacky items I own. Hopefully down the road LTL will get Topps' license once again.

I put it up myself, which was quite a feat! I about had a heart attack when part of it folded back on itself - that backing is sticky stuff!

Anyone notice the "micro Gyppy" I put up next to it? :)

I have a hard enough time handling the 2'ers I can't imagine one this size. Wait til you want to move it and try and stick it back on the wax paper. That should be a fun time ;D

That must have been something to watch!  I think I remember Kendall saying that even if the prints folded onto themselves, they'd be OK once unstuck, but I can imagine the horrible feeling as it started folding.  And if you have to then lay it out on a flat surface to work on it, that could be a problem too.  I've been saving the papers from mine, and writing the title on the reverse, in case I ever want to move them around or store them.  If you ever try to get that Gyppy Pop back on the paper, I'll bet you have an interesting afternoon!

I did notice the little Gyppy - what size is that?  Compared to the big one, it looks like a sticker!

Good idea about writing the titles on the backing papers. I will do that for my 2 footers.
The little Gyppy is regular sticker size (it's actually a copy of a sticker because I didn't have an extra sticker handy). You can barely see it compared to the giant one.

Any one have a problem with LTL customer service? They sent me a wrong wall hanging with my order (duplicated 1 title and left out another) and I did not get the 15% discount.  I have contacted them at least 3 different ways and have not gotten a response. Any one else having a problem?

In my experience their customer service has always been great.  I had a problem with one recent order, and they mentioned that they were backed up the last week of the year due to holidays and promotions, but they helped me on the phone, and said they'd apply my discount, which hadn't gone through.  I won't know about that until my credit card bill comes, but I trust them.  Two prints that were the wrong size were promptly replaced, so I was very pleased with their service.

No problems here. I had the same situation with the 15 percent off because I couldn't find the box to enter the discount code. I went all the way through the checkout process and didn't find it. I immediately contacted customer service through their site and let them know. Heard nothing after a day, contacted again, then I was contacted by their customer service that the difference was refunded to my acct. Great, no problem.

I would keep trying thought their site and give them your order number too.

Where did you find Captian Moron's?????  I would have bought that one in a second!!  Probably both as 1' and 2' sizes.

That's a great staircase you've got there!  I still want more of these, too.  I bought an awful lot of them in December, but haven't had the chance to put many of them up yet.  If enough wind up in one area, I'll post a pic.

I have Wackys all over my bachelorette pad, not to mention spaceships and action figures.  A bonus feature of the LTL prints is they don't get dusty!

Captain Moron was specially made for me. It was a gift from my girlfriend with a little help from the artist, Smokin' Joe.

I know, it's really ashame to see them end. Glad I got a few 2 footers before 2010 was over. I still am amazed by how clear the image is dispite it being blown up to a large size compared to it's original state.

Just a thought, but didnt Mattel put a Wacky on a car roof? Saw the thread here. If they can do it, couldnt LTL do it if a high-res scan if it was supplied?  They just may still be available. I missed out on them  :'(

They lost their rights to Topps art, so no nothing Wacky's is available.

I  remember that post and the person who sent it in stated that "Mattel would put anything on a car" and the customer supplied the artwork.  (that is how I read into it)

LTL prints anything you send them. If you can get a hi res Wacky art scan they might print one for you. They just can't add it to their catalog.

Most of you have heard of LTLPrints and the fantastic Wacky Packages wall graphics they offer. If you haven't you owe it to yourself to go check them out.
There is a link on the forum to go right to LTLPrints and check them out for yourself.
They recently also added the Hollywood Zombies collection and also have our own Jay Lynch art!
I have attached some of my quick pix I took around my 'mancave' to show how cool these are. I only have so much wall space so I have been rotating them out all over my basement. I just got in 30 new 2'ers from their most recent update of Wacky Packages art.

Check it out.
