Wow the Locke Poster is Sold Out. Does this mean I still have a chance to be the Hurley Poster?

[cabin fevah]

^ I kinda thought it would.

Seeing as how these posters are going to cover 'water cooler moments', I wouldn't be surprised if Locke still had yet to have his face appear on a poster.

I wonder what water cooler moment would encompass Sun/Jin...

The seeing of continents/islands is simply the human brain wanting to find patterns in things. I really don't think that there is a map there or they even intended it to look like a map. It's the same reason we see the Man in the Moon or things in clouds. Heck, even Jesus on a grilled cheese. It's what our brains do.

Also, there's an image for Frame 3 now. Someone over at LostARGs says that it translates to AOTS.

My guess is Attack of the Show. A show on G4 that follows Lost among other things.

I would agree if the website hadn't deliberately put that picture on. If it was a random fan picture, then yes, but it's shown on the DCPB page. Plus, it very much looks like Europe and Asia; the UK on the left (which looks EXACTLY right, the shape of the East coast is perfect), the number 42 within a shape that looks VERY much like India, and Australia in the bottom right. Lookit!

^^Agreed (to Silentounce), I looked at that skateboard for 5 minutes straight and I don't see a damn thing, haha. It's an artistic touch to apply; kind of like how some clothes come pre-faded or torn?

Thoughts on the next posters to come/you hope to see?

I could see Charlie getting a DriveShaft tour poster but I could also see him drowning and giving hte 'Not Penny's Boat' message...

What the hell does that picture mean? It looks like the left hand side and the right hand side are different pictures, there's a clear break right down the middle of the picture. I've tried copying the left half, flipping it, and putting it on the right half, and vice versa, and though it ends up looking like a more coherent picture, it still doesn't look like an actual THING or anything. Just random pixels, really.

Anyone got any ideas?

I already answered that above. It means "AOTS". I can't think of the techincal term for that kind of image but it's like a bar code. They are used in logistics/shipping all the time. I'm sure you've seen similar images on UPS/USPS packages and the like. Someone over at LostARGs translated this one.

My guess is that our next hint or url is going to be given on G4's Attack of the Show, aka AOTS.

Edit: Aha, here it is, it's a Quick Response or QR Code: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_Code

^ninja'd me to it.
I've started following on DarkUFO and they were pretty fast with it.
I thought I was on the ball when I posted it here but they beat me to it by about 2 hours.

Yeah I guess I know what I'm doing weeknights @7 est. At least till we get the link.
