Greetings to all!

Since this appears to be the definitive source for all things Wipeout related on the 'net, I figured this would be a pretty safe place to ask.

I'm looking for some photographs (or pictures of, anything really) of some old TDR work from 1996 for Wipeout 2097. The posters were created for exhibitions, and measure a whopping 1 meter by 2 meters. They all bear a similar label in the bottom right hand corner that says "SIGN:AGE" and includes the F-5000 AGRL logo among other things.

Now, I know four of these posters exist for sure- Pirahna, Quake, Auricom, and Curly. These can be seen partially here:

They're the ones with the black label in the bottom right hand corner. Both Pirahna and Quake are mentioned and pictured in Brain Aided Design (identical to the posters shown above), but not the others. What I find interesting is that the bottom left hand corner of the labels mention "N of 12", where 0 < N <= 12. So I'm either thinking that this means that 12 units were printed of each poster, or that there are twelve different posters in the series.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had any other photographic evidence of these posters. I'm trying to determine which ones actually exist to make up the full collection from that era. I've searched the 'net high and low, and the best pictures I've found of them are located in the link above (in fact, that's the only place I've seen them like that- the Piranha one can bee seen in some generic exhibition shots without the label, but not the others). The only information I got out of TDR directly was that they have *some* posters for sale (for 500 pounds/piece), but not which ones nor how many make up the complete set.

Cheers,

According to this Facebook Event (https://www.facebook.com/events/313141245482604/) (and this website (http://www.tdr-upoverdownunder.com/)), there’s an auction just today in Melbourne where you could find exactly what you’re searching for. Good for them it hasn’t gone public on WipEoutZone earlier; I’m sure here are some pilots who could beat anyone who’s playing there today ;)
