To quote Jason from this thread:

The 'Rise Above' won't be offered as 18" x 24" prints


He doesn't say they won't be offered as the larger offsets though :P

These are nice, but what keeps me from buying is first of all the price, then knowing that on top of the 400, I am gonna shell out at arm and a leg to have it framed due to it's huge size... :?

I dig the M16 and Cop. Anyone want to split a set?

My bad, I assumed they were as its another set of 4 priced the same. I cant drop $800 on 2, but I dig the images so darn much. In all honesty Id rather have them in 18" x 24" format than this big.

my dad was about to buy two of these and changed his mind when he saw the shipping charges. I tried to make excuses then gave up when I realized he had a good point.

Would they be shipped any better than the 18x24....Or would all 4 be placed in a tube for UPS to destroy?

You could ask Jerry in Ducky Waddles how much he would charge to ship the prints. In my experience he is a whole lot cheaper than ObeyGiant when it comes to shipping.
