Also, are you sure that they sold from lowest number to highest in order for the previous two?

Considering BWS Jedi's comment about the transfered lithographs: No. (Then I was very, very lucky.) My Citadel lithograph was ordered from the new store as I am European and could not buy them before. My number is 71, and according to Mr. Seigle 71 lithographies were transfered. I ordered the first day that the new store was available for me (checked the links in the Mass Market section often - each day? - because someone promised something). Conclusion: they are counting backwards, maybe? Or maybe they are not counting at all.

Checking with our warehouse on print number. They should be going lowest to highest this time around. Will confirm.

I pre-ordered the Omega and Jack prints. I have paid for them but their order status has not been updated. Should I be worried?

[erik212]

Mine just got billed and I put my order in 3 days ago. I wouldn't worry. I don't care what number I get unless its something nice like 1 or 300, but I'm quite certain it won't be. Is there any reason low numbers are preferable, other than the feeling you get that it was made just slightly before the rest?

I'm not a big fan of the DA:O lithos, but I would get a Price of Power if I could afford one right now. Will probably sell out before I can get it. I like all the ME2 ones a lot more though, so I'll just save up for the next batch.

Lol mine just shipped. Pleased as always Bioware, keep up the good work.

[erik212]

Hmm, I think I may attempt to go for #400 of Price of Power. How many are left now?

It appears that the Minuteman and Omega lithos are out of stock, but they both have the "coming soon" that the Garrus litho had a first.

Ya, I got the Citadel one about a month before ME2's release, it was fairly high numbered, I think it is 362. I should of preordered instead of waiting till release day to buy the second batch. I ordered the Garrus and Minuteman one. I would have gotten Omega but I pefer an interior look showing that Omega is a slum and the opposite of the Citadel.



Are there any plans for other characters, most specifically Tali?

[erik212]

Lol, Tali is going to sell like hotcakes if it's ever released. I will buy two of them. Hopefully it will look awesome. I'm not worried though, because everything released so far looks awesome (I feel like Jack is kinda meh, but then again I don't like her at all as a character either.)

Yeah, agreed there. I actually have a bit of money set aside in case a Tali Litho drops. Not gonna miss out on that one.

I like the new system of announcing low inventory. I got mine right off, but it helps people decide to order quickly. "Oh snap, not much time left!"

I liked the Jack one most, honestly. The GTA style art kinda suits her, though dual wielding pistols is a bit much. In the games, she's the most interesting female character to me. Miranda was kinda boring, always droning about her genes, and Tali was already explored. Jack was a troubled kid who, depending on your choices, can make an effort to better herself, and leave her past behind. Even learn to trust people. Touching story.

I would set aside money for a Tali litho, but I'm broke. I assume we won't see any new lithos for 1-2 months at minimum. Only 1 for ME1, 2 for the first few months before ME2, then all of a sudden 4 drop! It'll pobably be a while. I've been trying to get a job forever! I was lucky that my dad gave me some money for the lithos this time, but between college, credit card, etc. Me need job! So, BioWare, no more lithos for a few months please, LOL.

On the contrary, I like pre-orders. I cannot/am not allowed to use internet for private stuff during the week, and I really appreciate pre-ordering around the weekend. I am not a last minute chick when it comes to limited stuff, especially not with limited things that I am sure about.

[erik212]

Yeah, I pre ordered as well, but I can see how it can help people who happen to visit the store without really checking around that often. It complements the pre ordering anyway, its not being used as a substitute. Having said that, there's something nostalgic about not knowing when they are going to run out. It makes it that much more exiting.

Hey, I ordered all 4 plus The Price of Power as well. I'll let ya know what number I got

So what numbers did everybody get? According to the bioware tweet they went up for preorder at 10:59 MST last Friday. I preordered all four lithographs about twenty-five minutes later. My numbers were all over the place: 254, 36, 201, 112.

[WristViolins]

Likewise, mine were all over. I ordered the Jack one within moments of the Preorder popping, and recieved number 39, and Minuteman 163. Price of Power was 363. I figure they just grab it from a pile and away it goes, rather than starting at 1.



Also, instead of Omega I ended up with Minuteman, hahahaha! Rather, Minutemen. Giving the extra to a friend, since I was flipping a coin on it, anyway.

[S75Watts]

Anyone who still hasn't gotten theirs?

[erik212]

I have only opened my minuteman, but there are wrinkles on the left side where it looks like it was rolled too tightly, and it got partially folded. How are you guys framing them? I have these old but huge poster frames with tissues around the edges to prevent the plastic from contacting the pages. Is it important to not let the pages get touched by the frame glass?

EDIT1: Same on the Omega. It looks like the area where it first got rolled up (on the inside of the roll) for too tight and it decided to fold instead of roll. There are creases that are visible if you look at the reflection of light off the page.

EDIT2: Garrus one is the worst so far. The entire left side has wrinkles within about 4 inches of the edge. There are visible wrinkles on the art part. My opinion is still that they were rolled too tightly to fit into the small diameter tubes, which came is relatively large boxes.

EDIT3: Jack one is wrinkled as well, although not as badly as Garrus. None of them are ruined by these anomalies, but a better condition would be preferable for something this collectible. Is there anything I can do? Does no one else have this issue?


Numbers:
   Minuteman: 220 (last number hard to recognize)
   Omega: 176
   Garrus: 105
   Jack: 93

I like the randomness, it makes it that much more exiting not to know whats coming.

I guess, two lithographs in one tube is the maximum then. I had to cut the tube that included two (cardboard/carpet cutter), because I was unable to remove the lithographs from the tube without folding or other damaging.



There were no problems when the tube contained only one lithograph. So from your experiences I'm now expecting some wrinkles for the tube that contains four, but I will try reduce those to a minimum by cutting the tube open as well. - Note to myself: Seperate orders for more than two lithographs.

[erik212]

I put in 2 orders of 2, and that resulted in two long boxes with 2 tubes in each. One lithograph per tube. If I looked down the tube after popping the cap off, I could already see that the center was bent and not circular. I don't believe that cutting them open would make a difference. Other than the wrinkles, the quality and condition of the rest of the paper was very nice.

Thank you for your feedback. I got the wrong idea then.

[ShadowWolf930]

Minuteman: 66

Omega: 57

Garrus: 217

Jack: 261

Price of Power: 280



Looks like they weren't numbered based on order. That's extremely disappointing. I guess I won't be refreshing the page too often next time they sell lithos.

[erik212]

No problem stardazzled.

What condition were your lithos in ShadowWolf?

Bearbeitet von erik212, 27 Februar 2010 - 09:14 .

[ShadowWolf930]

They were all in perfect condition and came in a single tube.

[erik212]

Strange... how large was the tube? mine was rather tight, but if I pulled on the paper hard enough they would slide out.

[ShadowWolf930]

I got a TF2 lithograph from Valve the same day and that tube was larger than the 5 lithograph one.



It was pretty small, but they came out easily.

[erik212]

Eh, I don't like that Heavy litho valve has. Did you get the really expensive version by chance?



Also, I wonder why yours came out easily. I really had to pull on the paper wrapping the litho to get mine out.
