Starting first week in October the second mini-lithograph will be released. It will include Saren & Garrus.

[Crjans]

must admit i'm disappointed that saren is being re-made I know the demand for it exists but I didn't think ME1 items would be reproduced and yes as someone that owns the original saren I'm sure i'll get my fair share of flaming and being called an elitist for not wanting it reproduced but the litho of saren was sold years ago and frankly at the time did not sell that well can't really say anyone didn't have a chance to get it.

[VeritechVF-1S]

Honestly, aside from collecting purposes, the Saren lithograph isn't even worth owning. A mini-Garrus on the other hand will be nice.

whens the first pack being sent?

[Beocat]

This will likely be one of the only minis I buy, for the Saren. Maybe another someday if a Citadel mini comes out.



@Crjans - you may have seen it in the store forever, but the day I noticed it there it was already out of stock. Of course, that happened to others on the Illium too. With so few being released (out of 100 but I heard only 75 were released), and some people getting more than one for themselves on the Saren, imagine just how few people in actuality got the opportunity to grab that one. I'm not flaming you or anything but be a little realistic here in your projections.

Can someone refresh my memory... these are unlimited runs right? I've forgotten...

[VeritechVF-1S]

A Citadel and Minuteman mini-litho pack would be nice.

[Damsel of Distress]

Yes, they're unlimited.

Yea, says the guy who has two Saren litho's....

I personally dont care for it, but it gives those a chance who want it to enjoy it.  Again, it takes no value, monitary or emotional, away from owning an original.

The first Lithograph pack is in our warehouse and will be checked in this week. It'll ship by Monday at the latest.

What makes you say that? I personally would much rather have the Saren than the Garrus...which I think is actually pretty ugly.

[Dan Dark]

Sounds like this will be another pass for me, then. I don't have any pressing need for a Saren litho (even though I don't think I've ever actually seen it before, to be honest), and, while I can't help but love Garrus, I don't much care for his lithograph. I think the art style may be part of it, but the person with the Cerberus emblem on the back of their skull and an N7 stripe on their arm (seeming to imply it's Shepard) strikes me as kind of distracting and out of place.



That's just me, of course. Either way, I do want to say I'm glad to hear more are being released. (I'm still hoping for a Citadel, after all. XP)

Another thing I want to throw in is to not do mini lithos of all of them. You need to maintain some exclusivity for the original owners. Ones like Citadel and Normandy IMHO should not be made mini

While I can see where you are coming from with this. I would be rather unsettled if they did not release a mini Normandy. I would have really liked to have purchased that lithograph, but sadly it sold out in a day, and I was working during the sale period.

On another note. Thank you for releasing these Bioware, and giving those who missed out on the originals a second chance. While they may not be a grand as the originals, they are still awsome. I hope to see more releases in the future.

[DukeOfNukes]

I hope to see them all, including the ones I own, as Mini-lithos...even the Dragon Age ones. I will purchase them again...including my Citadel.

We already went through this. No!

o.O really? i thought the artist signature, numbering and size was exclusive enough. i only say that because i felt burned about not being able to get a illium litho, and yay lo-&-behold minis. and if someone weren't to get a norm/citadel....it sorta undoes the purpose of all the minis.

i don't think its fair to hold back specific litho prints because you think they are worth more than the others.(iconically)
we should of debated this when it was first suggested! argh, why didn't anyone speak up before LOL these arguments always come back up >.<


anyways OT: when will TIM come out to play darn it. looks like i'm going to have to buy 3 mini sets.... btw what size is the saren mini going to be. its portrait i believe.... anyone have a pic?

They did. This was debated before the minis were announced, after the minis were suggested, after they were announced... While there were a certain few constantly opposed to the idea in some way or another, the general consensus was the originals are already exclusive enough, what with being signed and numbered by hand by the artist, and being considerably larger than these minis are. And the sheer fact that Illium, one of the rarest and most sought after (and by extension, most expensive) of the full size lithos, was included in the first set of minis, I'd figure, or at least hope, that that means most if not all of the lithos will eventually be available in mini format, especially the most popular ones.

Again, though, we've been over this more than enough already. Back on topic, I suppose it'd probably be too early to ask what pack three might hold, eh? (Personally I'd like to see Citadel and The Illusive Man, though I could actually see the Wards being paired with the Citadel, then pairing TIM with Minuteman... it would make a fair bit of sense thematically, ya know?)

I may still go for the Illium/Omega combo (if only to have a high-quality Illium to put on my wall), but I'm definitely out on Saren/Garrus, and will possibly pass on the next set of full-size lithos too. I understand the re-issue of Saren and Garrus, but in comparison to prints like Illium, The Citadel, and Illusive Man, they just don't measure up for me.



I have been on the fence about the minis from the beginning. Don't get me wrong, I am excited for a second chance at owning the prints I missed out on, but I haven't been able to make myself spend the money on them yet. If The Citadel is reprinted as a mini, that is definitely a purchase I will be making. I would say the same about the Illusive Man print, but thanks to Jed, I now own a full-size version (still SO blown away by that stroke of good luck). I have absolutely no problem with every single litho being reprinted as a mini. Not everyone knew about these lithographs from the beginning, and even those that did could never have predicted that the Normandy would sell out in under two hours...If I hadn't been off of work the day the Normandy came out, I would have missed the sale. I wholeheartedly agree with those that feel that the signature/numbering on the full-size prints makes them special enough. Owning a mini is just an acceptable substitute for the people not lucky enough to catch the "real thing". Unsigned and unnumbered, it is just a high-quality reprint of a piece of concept art, which is great to have. If these minis were signed and numbered, this would be a totally different story. From a profitable production point of view, it also does not make sense to ONLY reprint the less desirable lithographs. I fully expect, and hope, that these miniature lithographs continue, and that everyone that appreciates this game for the work of art it is has a chance to own a piece of it. Whew! Now that that's out of my system...



Also, a Minuteman would be great =)

The art on the Saren litho is not appealing to me at all. Compared to any of the other lithos, Saren just seems immature artistically.

I still wish they would release these individually. I have no interest in Omega from the 1st pack and I have no interest in Garrus from the 2nd. I have the original large version of Omega and Garrus. I'll probaly never buy these because of that fact.

[SIim Charles]

Really all of Saren's appeal is in the rarity. The art itself is really pretty meh and I have no interest in it.

[iamsaige]

I think it's fine to re-release the signed lithos as minis. I missed Ilium and Citadel as I was on vacation, so I can imagine other folks are probably in the same boat and won't mind picking up the ones the missed out.Though I'll echo Dan Matrix and say I wish they were sold individually as there will probably some I don't want to buy since I have the larger version.

[erik212]

Still not really liking the mini litho idea. Guess we'll have to live with it though.
