Hey Bioware. Up these edition sizes so YOU can make more money, and these turdlings who buy more than one to make profit DON'T make money.

They have upped the amount of lithographs since they have begun. The first one of Saren and Captain Anderson was limited to 100 and only 75 of those were available for purchase. From there I think they went from 150-200-300-400... That is if my memory serves.

keep an eye out. We've been in talk with BioWare Jedi (I think that's his name) and they are looking into orders of people who bought at least 3 or more lithographs. They may refuse those b/c of the Ebay issue and limit their number ordered

*didn't mean we've been in talk, but it was addressed on another forum. mi mal

Nowhere on the site does it indicate a limited number to any one purchaser.

easy does it. I'm just stating that BioWare is working on the growing problem of people buying these to turn around and sell for profit. With it being a growing issue they are trying to help their fans out in the best way they can.

Then they should have limited numbers to begin with. Retroactively snubbing someone that paid is bad business.

I hope this is the case. This actually looks interesting enough to buy.

I totally agree with you. They are in a bad position right now because a lot of people are angered by that tactic. So it will be interesting to see what happens this weekend. Either way I'll bet they do start instituting a limit poilicy in the future.

Future policy is fine if they do that, and I agree there. What I don't agree with is people getting miffed over others that took advantage of the deal at hand. If anything they should direct their fire at BioWare for not taking the initiative to do this ahead of time. Knowing full well that limited edition prints bring high demand they could have prevented this right from the start.

yeah I'm surprised they haven't done this already (limiting quantity). There are already listings for the Korlus print on ebay for $150 but last I checked it is still in stock on the store website. So it's not like this is a new issue, just seems to be a bigger one now b/c the Normandy print is really nice

I think subject matter has much to do with desirability, too. Nobody really cares about a cracked up freighter that has a minute part in the overall scheme of the story. The Normandy on the other hand, that's central to the story as a whole (so far).

I purposefully didn't even try, because although I would enjoy having one, I left it for someone else to take. I'm not particularly thrilled about the design...and I already have 3 (afterlife, collectors, and...CITADEL), plus my Dragon Age ones.



Now, if they were to get rid of this ridiculous cap, I would purchase one. I really doubt these are going to be worth any money in 20 years.



How about REPRINTING as a poster instead of a litho? That way, in the future, you could separate the people who just want a poster, and those that want something nice to hang in a frame.

I have discussed a limit with Jed in private (the head guy for the lithos I assume) and they will monitor orders. There weren't that many that were over 3 and those over 3 he's going to take a look at and possibly reduce their order number so they are putting kind of putting a cap.

500 was a reasonable number. Korlus and Wards were 400 and they took awhile to get sold. Korlus is still up if you want one. They probably didn't think the Normandy would sell this well. Keep in mind though that having more out there decreases its value so they probably wanted a lower limited number.

Too little too late. I appreciate their predicament, but it's theirs and not the people that bought them in any quantity. They should have stated that beforehand plain and simple.

What I would do is limit them to 1 per customer/account by simply not allowing anybody to enter any amount greater than that for the first week, and then allow for greater amounts to be purchased. That way all customers have a week to get one, which should be plenty of time.

If it's true that some people have been buying them up to re-sell, I'm glad they're reviewing the orders so that more of them go to actual fans who want to collect them. It's unfortunate for those who genuinely wanted a bunch for their mates too, but it's a tough call when the likelihood is that a few people got greedy.



I suppose this was inevitable, though: similar problems with ticket touts buying up concert tickets is a decades-old problem, for example, and with the rise and rise of the games industry, the same thing is going to happen with anything collectible.
