Lucas and his 97 games don't have ANYTHING on this!!

So a local game/figure/toy store was moving locations over the past couple weeks, and is now literally 3 minutes away from my house. I swung by there today to see how everything was coming together. They let me in even though they haven't even reopened yet. Got talking to them like normal and somehow the movie "The Wizard" came into topic. I asked them if they had a physical copy of the movie because I was trying to find one locally. Unfortunately they did not, but he said he did have some Wizard swag.. Came out with this original poster from an old local theater. I of corse asked how much, and he said he thought they had it priced for 30-40$. I told him I'd think about it while browsing the rest of the store (with it in my hands, knowing in my head I was going home with it). helped them set some stuff up that required multiple people, and he ended up selling it to me for 23$



Pretty happy



Not sure what it is worth, but I will most likely run to the store tomorrow, grab a frame, and hang it on my wall



It is double sided, both sides being the same image. LOVE the power glove in his hand, totally makes the poster!!

  • Awesome snag man! Ive been looking for one of these myself, I was surprised how hard they are to come by.
  • Sweet! Can't seem to get a nice one myself, been trolling eBay for months now. I know one day I'll find one without wrinkles, but man I'm expecting to pay for it.



    Looks good man, I love the Wizard...it's so bad.
  • Wow two posts at the exact same time. Spooky lol.
  • Wow im jelouse
  • Great pic up! Still makes me wonder if Fred Savage was any good at Nintendo...
  • We have 2 copies of the Wizard on sexy VHS in my store! lol



    nice poster!
  • It's so bad!
  • My favorite is a young Jenny Lewis. I was so shocked to learn she started out a a young child star, and this was before I even collected games, so nowadays the Wizard is double cool in my book.
  • Congrats! Great find. I scored mine round 2000 off eBay when they seemed to be more plentiful.



    It's been a staple in my gameroom since 2004 and was even shown as one of the pics Nintendo Power chose when they had an article about my collection in 2005. It's generally the first thing people comment on who see my collection.. LOL.. "oh wow, the wizard.. I remember that movie". Strange how a mediocre movie has become so iconic among gamers like it has.



  • Ahhh I so want that poster! Congrats! I think about 3 years ago a friend of mine gave me a sealed copy of The Wizard DVD. Since then I still haven't opened it. Time to watch it soon! Hahahha!
