ok, guess i'm waiting til 2017/2018 then, don't want one with known errors as it would just annoy me everytime i looked at it

The missing line and other internal changes made me pass on the V1. The slight alignment issue with the V2 cover made me hold off on it. I would have noticed it myself even it hadn't been pointed out to me. But I think I'll be getting this one. I almost think that the width of the "C" lines were too thin on the original in error, and so the "C" in the V3 is just slightly idealized. And it's something I don't think I'd have ever noticed myself. If I hold out for perfection, what happens if the eventual 2017/2018 run of V4s also ends up with something that makes it only 99.9% accurate?

I sat out on the V1. Sat out on the V2. No way I'm gonna wait two more years, 6 total, hoping for 100% perfection that still may not happen then because of some tiny aberration. Also, the V3 will always be the almanac version that was made and sold by Mark in the year 2015, which is cool to me.

Just my thoughts...

Got mine yesterday. Looked like customs ripped the package open and re-sealed it up with scotch tape:(. Fortunately, nothing was damaged or missing.:D
 
Any hope for a complete Oh La La in the future? Would love to have a complete Oh La La with an extra Almanac cover to wrap around it like in the film.
 
finally signed up after a year of trolling just for this. I'm very interested in one of the Almanacs
 
Received my Almanac V3 in the mail yesterday! Really glad I ordered this! (it's also my first ever replica prop purchase :))

my v3 came in today! all i can say is amazing!! i bought a almanac off ebay a few months back because i dragged my feet on the v2 run and missed out... (same with the train shirts,,,well no more missing out now, when ever mark posts ill be sure to purchase that same week) anyway... i bought the almanac off ebay it came from germany and he has many of them listed, came with a 2015 receipt and a blast from the past bag... he put this all in a non bubble wrap envelope and the thing came bent.. i noticed right off the back the grey color is more purple then grey... i looked on his ebay site and the cover clearly isnt what i got... anyway i let it go. i have been a ebay member for 14 years, ive only filed 1 claim and it was a chinese knock off northface i got instead of the real one pictured... anyway it was such a pain in the ass to file the claim i dont want to go through it again

so i opened up marks today and right away said "THATS IT!! THATS WHAT ITS SUPPOSE TO LOOK LIKE!!" check out the comparisons

the german ebay one is even smaller!!! complete garbage compared to marks!

i dont even want to take marks out of the wrapping it looks so good!! i was even surprised that marks came with a 2015 receipt!! that was nice! anyone have any suggestions on what frame to buy to frame the almanac? or what they used to mount it inside? i want to find a shallow shadow box, that i can put it in... i was thinking maybe using the clear L brackets used to hold bathroom mirrors to the walls to mount the almanac inside.. but i think the almanac is too thick for that to work

any ideas?

thank you mark for such a great run! i wouldnt be surprised if i end up ordering another one!!
 
Got mine a few days ago - love it. It took a minor beating during shipping, but I don't mind since it's supposed to be old and worn in the movie. Tonight I made a custom stand for it with some extra plexiglass I had lying around - looks pretty dope in the Detolf:
