Just wanted to know where I can get some cool arcade related stuff to have in my game room...posters,signs,etc... what do you guys have and where did you get it? Thanks!!
 
Spencer's and Flea Markets

Spencer's in the mall... and flea markets.

I also look at comic book stores and vintage furniture stores from time to time too.
 
antique malls, flea markets, and ebay. also, sometimes shows, like the rocky mountain pinball showdown, i can get posters and stuff, and then finally craigslist.
 
Go work for a game company or find somebody who does. They usually throw out tons of promotional crap at the end of every campaign and we used to try to score it before the dumpster.

the best place is really just everywhere. sometimes i see old arcade books a la mastering pacman at a goodwill, i've gotten the old coleco minis arcade games at flea markets, and it's just random. i'd say just keep your eyes open wherever you go.

one time i was at an action figure/toy show and found both pac and ms pac windups, mint on card. didn't expect that.
 
Thanks for that link gozer! I've never seen these before, they're pretty damn cool, and the price isn't bad either.

Yeah, cool stuff DP. If I had a supreme amount of wall space, I'd paint an entire 6 foot by 6 foot square area black and buy that Donkey Kong art!

I bought the restick Space Invader set back in July and just threw them on my newly painted garage wall. They seemed to really make the area come alive with an arcade feeling. Here's a pic right after they went on. The still look as good as the day they went on.

Now, if I were really cool, I place my SID cab next to it, but then my wife would complain. :(
