This is for people to chat in while waiting for the lithos to go live for both sales. Please read the other topics before asking common questions.

The remaining ~300 of each character lithographs will be sold some time in mid-November, so don't worry if you missed out on the pre-orders so far.

I'll try to update this post with relevant information, and maybe it will be revived for the individual lithos that will be sold later.

First sale ended in 31 minutes, with server problems practically stopping sales after 7 minutes.

The second sale finished in about 11 minutes.


The graph below shows my approximate tracking of the pre-orders. The plateaus are probably due to the checkout server slowdown and shipping message stopping orders. The average amount of packs bought per minute is 2.37 with the various problems.

I am probably the only person here who wishes he could ONLY get Grunt and Thane. Nothing against Tali, but I never really cared much for her. Release times worked out perfectly for me, I just hope these don't sell out in like 45 seconds because there are only a small portion being released at once. I do think the 3-pack is a good way to stop people from buying extras, I usually snag a couple extra just for gifts or in case a random friend misses out, but at $120 a pop, I'm only getting one,then MAYBE an extra Grunt once they get individual releases.

hymming and haaing still about buying it.

most probably wont though. i have other things to consider than my mass effect lithograph love. LOL have fun and goodluck to all that go for it though.

also might i add- i have mastered the ultimate F5-technique/lazyness...........
Mozilla add-on auto refresh. OH SHIET! (customize/auto refresh 1-3 seconds. make sure you turn it off once the lithos are available though. good lead up-addon)

Should be 6pm UK time. Was mega confused with time zone differences. So i'll likely start looking at 5:45.

[BioWareStore Jedi]

MST is -7 GMT

[TheKingBoar]

So is it MST now? Because the original announcement and Chris Priestly's post say MDT, and it'd be nice to sort out the time issues now...

[Zephur]

I live in Colorado, and we are still observing MDT. I believe we will continue to until about November 7th. It should be going off MDT, but I've also seen MST mentioned several times. A clear up would be helpful.

[BioWareStore Jedi]

What is the difference between the two? ( I live here and don't know...) Anyways I'm going to be here for the first release so I'll be giving updates as we get closers. We may end up being closer to the start of window so hang tight and I'll count it down with you.

[Legendaryhawk]

It's still starting at around 1est right? I want to head over and watch tv or something but I don't want to miss this.

[TheKingBoar]

MDT - Mountain Daylight Time UTC - 6

MST- Mountain Standard Time UTC - 7



So if we're doing 10 to 11 MDT, that's 8 - 9 PST, while 10 to 11 MST is 9 - 10 PST.

[Zephur]

Well, 11:00 am MDT would be 11:00 am in Colorado. When MST time hits, you're supposed to turn your clock back one hour. So, it would actually be 10:00 am, instead of 11:00 am. You're not supposed to do that until Nov 7th though.

[erik212]

Yeah, MDT is they daylight savings time. Thanks for keeping us updated before you go, Jed.

I was debating it too before, but the fact is that if you don't buy now, then change your mind later, you are going to pay 4 or 5 times as much to get them. Worst case scenario, you buy them, hate them, but have 3 great trading chips.

[Legendaryhawk]

so a little less than 2hrs to go

[rizen33]

Hey guys,



Does anyone know the original post that states that there is a three order per limit. Also, does this limit only apply to the three character pack, or will it also apply to the mid-November individual sale as well?



Thank You
