We'll see these up on Ebay in a few days, but I've got 'em in my hands right now. Here goes:
These store promotionals are sent to stores to advertise their support for Saviors of Kamigawa. My local store handed them off to me since the walls and celing are decked with Yu-Gi-Oh! and Vs crap.
The first is a hanging lantern. It's in 2 pieces and mounted on a little white hanger head (with about 10 feet of black cable). It's a foldup made of a plastic-like substance that's fairly translucent. I plan on putting some ultra-brite LEDs in there and diffusing panes, but that's just me.
Second on the list is the "If you could only play one spell for the rest of your life..." poster. That one's not going up in my room, since my walls are covered with music posters and interesting stuff. If anyone wants that poster say so because I might be putting it up for sale later and you'll get first dibs. It'll be like $2.
Also, yes, that's my Budweiser standee in the back of one of the lantern photos.
PICS:
The lantern hanging next to my bedroom door
The lantern again but this time a different view where you can see my giant Bud bottle and Sabretooth Cat skull, as well as the dead stuffed animals and various board games in my closet.
Me demonstating the "Two-Part" thing, because that stupid top pyramid part never sits right for very long, which is why I think it should have a tab or something. Oh well, it still looks cool
The folded-up poster sitting on my bed
The un-folded-up poster sitting (again) on my bed.
Great stuff Plastik! What a score. Did they come with any *info* we haven't heard yet?
Yes. Wizards is now using semitransparent plastic instead of cardboard for their 3-D stuff.
Oh, you mean card info? no.

That's sad that they're replacing this stuff with Yugioh and VS.
No, it's just that the posters work better for those games. Magic players are, as a rule, slightly less influenced by high-color images of burning stuff. The calendar on the wall announcing release dates is enough to make our magic kids cry.
I'm lucky in that the store here still has a good amount of M:TG stuff on the walls - I think they have the prerelease posters leading back to Onslaught.
That lantern is sweet! I need one of those for my roof. The poster though...
It suxorz.
Later this week I think I'll generate a PDF of the lantern so anyone with heavy paper, a printer, and glue can make their own. I'll post it in Artwork but I'll link it to here so everyone will know. Sound good?

I have no extendo-sig. Sorry, I'm just not vain enough to think someone will click on it.
Tune into "How to Make Friends and Influence People" next week, when EclipseAgent will tell us how to persuade your Muslim friends to eat a ham sandwich!
I must say Cube Drafting is Fun. Since its mostly the only drafting i do.
Attack step ok, oh wait i would like to cryptic command. im sorry its too late to do that.
Anyway Thanks for the stuff Plastik! I think the latarn, rather cool, I remember something similiar for Apoc....Whatever that Fire spell is it has to rock! It is Epic and has great art....
This got to be the best magic poster I ever Seen. If I get one of these and Iwould hang this from my Ceiling Fan and watch it spin.
I would love to get one of these. I hope Inquest has one of these it it soon.

Still, promo stuff is always sweet, and this is no exception.
I used to write cube articles on StarCityGames, now for GatheringMagic and podcast about cube (w/Antknee42.)
Ok cool. I'll take this to IM right now so we can iron stuff out.
No other offers on the poster plz.

Those lanterns also rule.

No artist given, just the standard WotC copyright. I honestly don't know who did it, you can't really tell.
Also, I realize the pics break the layout but I'm far to lazy to resize them and repost them. Maybe later tonight or tomorrow.

No new info, just confirming some thing we already knew.
My favorite part of the promo package was the 25 Oppressive Wills that came with it...
