Any word on the print # for the Normandy?

It's been said that it will be /500 a few times...i see no reason why that number would change, either.

And yeah, to echo what others have said, the Litho looks amazing...everything we could hope for, i think.  Likely going to 'pull a Crjans' and buy a second copy for security purposes (which makes it all the better for it being /500, since it seems more people are going to be buying multiples ).  So....release date 'fo sho'?

Don't you recognize, guys? You're (some of you are) contradicting yourselves. On the one side being angry about the ones buying several pieces, on the other side going to buy several images yourselves. *sigh* I don't get you sometimes, really.



Anyways, I could only agree with the others on the sweetness of the next litho.

Buying a bunch to sell on ebay for $150 /= buying a few for yourself and/or friends

[Beocat]

I'm not really much of a fan of multiple copies (even for "security" purposes. Come on, unless you store your spare lithos in a completely separate building then if something happens to the first it will also happen to the second) unless you are buying them as gifts.



I bought a second Wards as a gift for a friend of mine. I ahh...forgot his birthday again this year around Christmas time so I kind of owe him (every year that I forget he laughs about it and then still gets me a gift for mine...I feel so guilty! I'm such a terrible friend!). He's never seen the lithographs before but the blade runner feel coupled with it being a ME2 item I'm sure will make him more than happy.

Well, I plan on getting 2 because I'm going to give one to a friend whose a big ME fan so I'm not really buying it and flipping them. If people are hoarding them then I have a bit of a problem. If they're selling it back on ebay for $200 then it's a big problem for me.

I'm going to PM jed about a limit per household.

[z3r0p1lot]

yeah the couple i mentioned of buy are for me and a couple friends, one I see on like a daily basis and the other only on xbox live and he helped me track down a copy of the LCE of Mass Effect 1 so I owe him

[ilikeicehockey]

I've heard from a reliable source that Normandy might be up for sale last week of July.

[X in 415]

Meh, it looks nice but I am not interested in it to be honest. For the same reasons that I did not care for the Jack or Garrus litho. Just doesnt suit my style.

[Dan Matrix]

I will definately buy it but its looks more like a poster or mainstream image too me. I prefer concept art images for the lithos. It almost looks like a screencap from the opening of Mass Effect 2.

either you live alone and never have any visitors or your imagination as far as what could damage these is very very limited.

Note: This is not all directed at Beocat.

I work 2 jobs my full time job is at night thus I am not home when most other people are inside my house.  I own a home with my mother.  My father and little brother live with us.  My little brother (and most of his friends) Is extremely immature for his age and despite being told countless times continues to go into my study without permission and touches my things.  Therefore damage to my belongings sadly happens far more frequently then it should.  I also have friends with little children that can be difficult to watch at all times. 

Fires floods and explosions are not the only means that could destroy a lithograph and thus saying that to keep something safe it would have to be in a completely different building is foolish.  The few lithos I have extras of are because my originals were damaged and replaced by bioware with the exception of wards Korlus and the original Saren which I had ordered doubles of.  Everything I have extras of are packed away flat in sealed containers.  This may not make them perfectly safe but it is better than paying $200+ for a replacement in the event one is damaged.

frankly if anyone thinks I am buying to resell you are more than welcome to ask everyone that has offered to buy my saren and I have told I'm not selling or even interested in selling at this time.  Not to mention if I were planning on selling these lithos why would I post saying which numbers I own or even mention that I purchased more than one to begin with?  I would just be opening myself up to attacks and bashing if it were discovered I was selling them. 

I'm not saying everyone should go out and buy 2 of every litho so they have one safe but don't tell me i'm doing something wrong just because I want the security of having a second copy of my favorites.  Nor should anyone try to make anyone else feel badly for wanting to have a second copy for themselves. Think of it this way what IF something happened to your favorite Litho and ruined what was a complete set.  Would you be willing/able to pay $200+ for something you could have had a backup of for $30?  Personally I'd rather spend the $30 because I know I couldn't justify spending ebay prices to get a replacement given my current financial situation.

thats why I wont be buying it.  I agree about the concept images.  Thats what attracts me.  

Reagarding having doubles, having back-ups of every litho seems a bit obsessive.  Yea, **** happens, like floods and fires, but if thats the case, you probably have bigger things to deal with.  All I know is that I want a Saren litho and someone has two, one being stashed away as "back up".  I dont agree with this, but I do not fault you or pass any judgement.  Just my personal feelings

[Crjans]

my point X in 415 is that I do not have back-ups of every single litho I have doubles of saren wards korlus every other single litho I have doubles of was damaged/flawed either prior to being shipped or during shipping. You can tell which ones were replaced due to damage based on the large gap in number between the copies those purchased as doubles are consecutively numbered. I highly doubt anyone has doubles of every litho though that would be possible.



I am sorry you missed out on Saren though that litho took a while to sell out I guess as the first and only ME1 litho it was not very well received at first and most people only want it now that there is a collection. (this may not be your reasoning)



As a collector and a fan I wanted to be able to display Saren when I ordered it however the collector in me needed a copy I could keep in mint condition which includes protecting it from fading. I own a great many gaming items that have not nor do I intend to ever open including my Shep statue which is still sealed. While this seems obssessive or just plain silly to many I promise you I am not the only Collector that values mint un-opened condition. Which is clearly impossible for lithos as they aren't sealed to begin with thus the next best thing is to protect them.



In the event that my display copy should get damaged I'm not entirely sure I would display the other despite wanting to show it off part of me would still want to keep it mint. To those that think this is wrong for legitimate reasons I am sorry but we must agree to disagree. For those simply upset because they missed out on obtaining a litho that you wanted I am sorry that not enough were made available for all fans. However I am not now nor will I ever be sorry for purchasing doubles of my favorite images.



Any further talk on this topic needs to be moved to PM or another thread though as it isn't really on topic so if anyone else has questions or comments feel free to PM me but I'll stop cluttering this thread with this.

Thank you.  It really is kind of obsessive.  I have never understood it, though I am a collector myself.  However, to each their own.

I completely understand you there. I am so awesomely glad that there are no younger sibling I have to share my games with. You've been to flea markets, haven't you? Well, in the US it's probably more garage sale. You can find something valuable there on ocassion, but most of the time (and that's my point) you will find game cartridges or cds without manual, without box, with marker on it, with no label sticker. That's what the kids sell. And my collection would look the same if I had to share with younger siblings. (And that's only the start: empty perfume bottles, empty make-up powder doses, misused brushes - one can be sooo creative with powder brushes and stamp-pad ink - torn fans, torn calendars, broken glass from frames, ripped books... - experiences from visiting friends.) I already freak out when my cat lies down for sleep on my Collector's Edition books.

I've been so awfully successful at teaching my parents not to enter my room and use my things that they often would buy things twice. Because they don't dare to use my copy.  (Nevertheless, my mom would kill me for getting more lithographies - either replacements or gifts - because of getting so many and so huge packages.)

I must have touched a nerve in some of you. You don't need to feel the need  to explain yourself. So after all, will the Normandy provide a new record in selling out?

[KingofaIICosmos]

I don't think it will be as popular as The Citadel was, but it will very likely sell out within a week.

[iamsaige]

Less grrrr more yay in this thread please. Like look at that sexy Normandy litho coming soon. YAY!

[erik212]

I have yet to get a shipping confirmation for my Korlus/Wards lithos... I have the purchase confirmation. Anyone else have this issue, or shall I contact support?

[iamsaige]

erik212 if you got it when it came out, I'd follow up with them for sure. Though if you're not in the US and only got them recently I'd wait. I think I've gotten shipping confirmation once or twice. I know once I got it after I received the item.

[Casier98]

Mine just arrived today (to Toronto). My tracking number was never activated though. I sent a customer support request this morning to see if I could could find out where the package was, and lo and behold it shows up this afternoon.



Still kinda concerning that the package arrived before even the tracking number was activated. Seems kinda pointless to ship with a tracking number if this was the case...

nice! I live in Toronto too so I hope that its at my front door when I get home. I've PM'd Jedi about tracking number and saying he should consider ditching it to save us a few bucks. My number still doesn't work either.

So apparently they don't drop it off if you're not home so I have to go and pick it up tomorrow...

I'd give it the maximum shipping time they suggest before contacting support.  I have more than once failed to recieve a shipping confirmation only to find my goodies randomly show up on my doorstep.  I'm not sure why it sends them out sometimes but not always.  I try not to worry about it.  They've never not sent anything out to me before that I ordered without contacting me about it first.

[KingofaIICosmos]

They once held my order for more than 3 weeks before sending me a cancellation notice. I'd contact support.

[Tennyochan]

awesome just got mine today (intl shipping,no tracking)...

got a high number though- #98. it looks really big! maybe its because i haven't look at the others in a while....

[Ablaz3d]

I hope Normandy is truly the last Litho for a long time. I need a break til ME3.

[erik212]

Hmm, still nothing. If I don't get anything by Wednesday I'll ask support to check up. I don't want them to run out only to find that my order got lost somewhere...



Unrelated: the ebay resales are just pathetic. The lithos haven't even sold out in the store and yet people buy them for $100+...
