Personally I think every crew member deserves their own Lithograph, as there's definitely a clear market for them. Hear our prayers!!

Well she isnt really a collector, we would never dream of using a water bottle as a paperweight for it 


But on a serious note is anybody else getting tired and annoyed by the continuation of "ME2" lithos?


Were well on our way to ME3 and everyone getting excited about that so why is ME2 still being pumped at us? Additionally this Dead Reaper is clearly what I would consider a concept for ME3 and it still has the Normandy in Cerberus colours.


Come on Bioware, start giving us some ME3 content and concept art!

They're also using the art from the "Cerberus" litho on the ME3, so.. though i don't really mind what logo is down there.

[Captain Crash]

Dont get me wrong fire, its not like a massive deal. I just find it odd that Bioware are continuing to use the Mass Effect 2 name, when marketing for ME3 should really be happening now.


Also if they are using this and "Cerberus" as art in ME3 I still don't know why the Normandy is in its old colours.

Is it me or do those cranes look like they're trying to pull a Reaper? A super mega heavy reaper!

[havoc373]

this is art they still have for mass effect 2. if they start putting out mass efect 3 litho's they cant go back to selling mass effect 2 litho's and they might still have some good ones in their inventory.

dont waste inventory if you dont have to. we'll be getting me3 litho's closer to release

beautiful

Sounds good, a least now I don't have to worry about double shipping costs.

[Captain Crash]

Sorry Ms Domino, stole some of your thunder there :innocent:


Anyway really like the way this is being handled.  Double shipping costs didnt sound appealing.  Also nice to know that the price for each is $40 still.

Looking forward to release now 

[ShepardOsiris]

Well the dates and times were all as expected, but very glad to see they are only going to cost $80 for the pair. Thanks very much as always for the heads up Ms Domino.

Whew! grabbed that.  However, I noticed one thing that seems different from the usual expectations and what I thought I had read before about this release. I quote the pack page;

"Pack of 2 Mass Effect 2 Lithographs: Dead Reaper & Prototype SR2.
Edition of 800 prints each, signed & numbered by artist Derek Watts.
18"x24" Lithos, 100lb. Paper"

I'm usually not one to gripe these kinds of details, but 800 seems incredibly silly and devaluing, even more so than the bump from 300 t 500 was. I'm hoping it's a typo.

Nope, not a typo.  The other thread concerning these lithos has Ms. Domino stating that.

Well bollocks. I'd let go of the order if I didn't prefer buying here over on ebay whenever possible. That said, can get Korlus below $40 off ebay these days (I did at least), I have a feeling that'll be the fate of these two.

While I have never sold one of my litho's on e-mail, I honestly don't believe that buying/reselling is a giant problem.  I have been keeping tabs on the litho's on ebay and you really aren't seeing any of the recent ones going for crazy amounts of money.  It's the old, more limited releases.  I could throw up my copy of The Team for $10,000, and everybody would be OMG )^)#^)&*@# some jerk is selling it for $10,000, what a jerk!  But nobody is really buying them, and if they are..well it just shows they wanted it badly and it was worth $500 to them.  

All of the recent lithographs have allowed enough time for people that really want them to be at a computer at the time of release.  Or have a friend/relative stand in for them if they have a prior obligation. 

The lithographs are nice, but the fact of the matter is there's this thing called supply and demand.  It's a fact of all economies, and I trust if you haven't figured it out by now...well, goodluck to you in life. 

[VanguardCharge]

Not buying these...would have bought a pack if they were actually limited to 500. At 500 they actually felt like collectors items. 800 is way too much.
Those who miss out on these lithos can just buy unsigned versions. No reason to print 300 extra copies.
Also, I finally bought a Pragia litho. From comments on this forum, it looks like a very nice litho. Only 7 left now

Reality check, the days of people like me making a fortune, barring crazy releases like the team, are over. There is still some cash to be made, but you'll most likely only make enough to cover the cost for your personal collection after paypal and Ebay fees. Too many releases, the rise in cost, and the rise in signed copies turn it into MUCH less of a collectible. That's cool though!

What Treehouse doesn't realize is that they lose their "cool" factor, conducting business this way. It's a very short sighted business plan. I love the lithos, and I love making a buck, but they are killing themselves early with overload.

Pshh, hah. I love pseudo-intellectuals. You can save your "My First Economy" nonsense, I'm just pointing out that when Treehouse makes these kind of prints with this kind of results it is good for the community who values having something nice to hang on a wall for a decent price, not those who exploit and excuse not having an actual job.
