that only the two plexiglass sheets were included, and that the marquee was not inside

Is this normal? Does the marquee come in a seperate package? Or should I email scott and ask what's up?

ChadTower · « **Reply #1 on:** July 18, 2007, 04:24:25 pm »

Your marquee is there. You did order a blank marquee, yes?

Doom bucket · « **Reply #2 on:** July 18, 2007, 04:28:30 pm »

stop frazzing me out

I thought you were with mamemarquees and my heart skipped

lanman31337 · « **Reply #3 on:** July 18, 2007, 04:34:28 pm »

Once you have it installed and backlit only then does the design show up. It's a new technique Scott came up with.

Doom bucket · « **Reply #4 on:** July 18, 2007, 04:45:50 pm »

but seriously is this normal or should I contact scott?

shardian · « **Reply #5 on:** July 18, 2007, 04:47:57 pm »

It is perfectly normal for Scott to use two boxes, and pay shipping twice. That is why he is the best!

javeryh · « **Reply #6 on:** July 18, 2007, 05:10:58 pm »

It's not normal - my marquee shipped sandwiched between the plexi. I'd email him.

Mamemarquees is a plexi cutting company only. Scott usually sends your artwork to your nearest Kinkos for printing. Stop in there and give them your name.

Doom, click on any of the marquees on mamemarquees website, and you'll see the following at the bottom of the description...

"Note that due to shipping constraints, your Plexiglas pieces may be shipped separately from your art."

And just under that is...

"In fact, your marquee may never ship at all."

(sorry, it was too easy!)

Sweet! I just got this marquee in the mail, and didn't even order it!

I can't wait to put it on my cab!!!

Both grandmothers are dead. It may take you a while to loosen them up.

You: Who are you?
Guy: Marquis.
You: Huh?
Guy: You ordered a Marquis, right?
You: Well, yeah, but. . .
Guy: Well, I'm Marquis Grissom. What up, dog? (coming in) Man, I'm starvin'. Got anything to eat?

OH BABY YOU...GOT A MARQUEE...

lanman31337 · « **Reply #26 on:** July 20, 2007, 12:17:52 am »

So you got the classic hip-hop markee, nice move. Does it beat box too?

MPTech · « **Reply #27 on:** July 20, 2007, 12:22:57 am »

you guys aren't very helpful

but you sure are FUNNY!!!!

Doom bucket · « **Reply #28 on:** July 20, 2007, 01:07:18 am »

anyways happy ending I got it in the mail this morning

at first I was disapointed as the marquee appeared to be overly dark and the colors all wrong, but I decided to just roll with it and install it

good thing I did

as soon as it was backlit I was in awe, all this color and detail just popped out of nowhere like when CSI scans a hotel bed with their handheld blacklight thingies

it's glorious and I'm glad I went with the ultimate marquee

If I remember correctly, it was a Mercury Gran Marquis. Then again, they're all the same (Lincoln Town Car, Mercury Grand Marquis, Ford Crown Victoria if my memory serves me right) with different badges.

Hilarious thread, btw.

FrizzleFried · « **Reply #31 on:** July 20, 2007, 01:52:49 am »

Hope you don't end up with a Marquee Mark!

...or his FUNKY BUNCH!

Next up will be a sighting of a Grand Marquis, being driven by a Marquis, with 2 dead women in the back holding a picture of Scott !

Yes, but in a separate box from the rest of the act.

It looks great, but trust me on this, paint that blue drawer black, and replace those handles with something less obvious that you can get a finger inside to pull open.

Doom bucket · « **Reply #39 on:** July 21, 2007, 01:04:23 am »

It'd hard to tell from that angle, but the sides are the same shade of blue.
