Collectors lithograph sold for 150 recently on eBay. It's getting up there now.


I kind of feel bad for whoever bought that one. I bought the first one the seller had with an offer of $50.

When you guys do buy stuff of ebay, make sure they ship them in the flat packs.

Right after I bought my Afterlife I actually took time to read the description - 'will ship in sturdy mail tube' Oh dear. it was a BIG mailing tube but ... it was bent and folded on the edges and ... just looked a mess. Can't believe someone would treat a litho like that.



I've put them in the flat packs with the others now, and provided a bit of weight, hopefully it'll come out looking alright again.



So just a caution for anyone else out there.

so you're the one who bought it from jerserygamingstore? They rip people off massively. The guy doesn't even care and sells for a ridiculous price.( I can forward you a message he sent me when I told him collectors was at the store for $30 and he was selling for $200) Of course he wouldn't care about the shipping condition.

Nah, mine was from someone else. Not a frequent e-bay by the looks of it, only sold 4 items to date.
Like, I'm not angry at him, granted I should have read the descirption or at least asked him about shipping it in a flat pack, but he was nice enough to ship international for me so I didn't mind.

I don't think I was ripped off... I payed $99 for it which is lower than the average ebay price.

But thanks for the heads up hey! I'll be sure to look out for jerserygaming. (To avoid him of course)

There's only two or three Collectors lithos on eBay right now, so I'm sure the price will go up eventually. And there's only Korlus and Wards besides those. These things are getting rare!

Just a heads up to anyone who hasn't gotten a Wards litho yet. There are currently only 7 left in inventory so you'd better hurry if you don't want to miss out.

Simple: put 300 in your cart and proceed to checkout/payment. It will tell you the max available quantity (if less than your desired number are available).

Only 2 wards are left in stock. If you don't have it, definitely make an order -- it's absolutely gorgeous IMO.

Wow, can't believe I didn't think of that. Thanks, though.



And holy cow, the Visceral lithos are selling HORRIBLY. Only ~25 of each the Dante's Inferno and a few more of the Dead Space ones have sold. That is stunning, I thought they over-printed, but never thought sales were this bad.

I only played Dante's Inferno for about 30 minutes, but I would have bought the lithos if they had some nice artwork. Unfortunately, the images they chose look cheap unlike the Mass Effect or Dead Space lithographs.

I agree about the low quality of the artwork. It's about a journey through the Hell, how could you not come up with some good art?

The Excess of Gluttony one is real nice in person, theres alot too it. I agree that the other 2 are weak and it doesn't help that St.Lucia is a dlc though she is mentioned in the base game you never see her or anything. It was just a poor choice, they should have done atleast 2 from the base game. The original pics they had showed 2 unreleased ones so far and one of the 2 looked real nice.

*wispers* The one DI lithography I would have been interested in is the one with the bridge (never played DI so it's only "the bridge" for me) but it never was up - at least not when I looked. The image is shown in the ad for DI lithographies.

I just beat Dante's Inferno and you unlock a bunch of concept art. There are a few real nice environmental concept art pieces. Its just unfortunate that they pick St. Lucia for 2.



I wish they had kept that bridge litho, I also liked that one and would have bought it.



The Excess of Gluttony is similar to the Collectors, it looks bland and boring online but once you see it in person the depth and detail comes out. The St. Lucia inflight is a nice one aswell, it is vibrant and though it is a simple image St. Lucia is beautiful.

One last Wards litho left. I bought another two the other day, one for a friend overseas and another for me to hang in a different room in my apartment. Really nice piece of artwork, I strongly encourage anyone who is holding out to bite the bullet ASAP.

I'm surprised Korlus isn't more popular, there is still 86 left.

They should do a lithograph of the view of the gas giant the Reaper was circling around. That part took my breath away, with the sheer detail and massive size. A new Illium lihograph of that skyline from the main market area would be sexy too.

  It's still selling pretty well, but it all comes down to how iconic each litho is to Mass Effect as a whole.  All the lithos that sold real fast were the big well known images, like Citadel, Illusive Man, Omega.  Regardless of whether or not the art was better or the image was cooler, Jack, Minutemen, Illium, Collectors, they all hung around quite a bit longer than thier more iconic selling mates.   

  Korlus just doesn't have that instant notoriety.  In my view though it's a much better lithograph than Wards, in terms of quality, and especially in terms of accuracy in representing it's subject.  You see the Korlus litho, and it's Korlus, but the Wards litho, it could be any cramped crap hole in the galaxy or just some unseen left over shot of some part Afterlife with no personality, since the style is identical.

I think Derek Watts mentioned Mikko having drawn 12 concept arts for Illium. I'd want all of them, seriously. ^.^ I wonder how many were done for the Wards or the Citadel in general. Big artbook, please.



(Afterlife uses different colours than the Wards, imho. Slightly different, but different.)

This was just posted on the Bioware twitter:



"Watching artist Mikko Kinnunen sign the next Mass Effect lithograph. Get ready for the Normandy to arrive soon on the BioWare store."

Ya, just saw that, all that means now is they need to ship to Colorado (making their way through customs) and then they will be up for sale. I'm assuming another week until we see them on the store.
