 They're all announced now! Check the store slider to see em.

Afterlife
Collectors
Citadel
Martin Sheen

Definitely grabbing Citadel, but I dunno about the other ones. I usually prefer scenery. Maybe Afterlife as well. And I actually like the Dragon Age posters, too! Seems like the character design from the Sacred Ashes trailer was used for Leliana. Nice to see Sten get some love, too.

What do y'all think? 

[Thunderwolf]

Where are they? I can't find them in the store!

That's because they aren't available yet. I assume they'll be released Friday, like before, so they can gather orders over the weekend and ship them out afterwards. But go to the main store page, there's a slider there. First slide shows three Dragon Age posers, the second one shows the Lithographs. Just wait a moment and it will swap to it.

They aren't available for purchase, but you can look at them and get an idea which ones you want.

Sweet. thanks I appreciate it. I've been pestering the bioware store contact because I wasn't seeing'em and I was freaking out. Kinda like feel like an **** or a nusance. lol. Are the leftovers going to be released then as well?    
Thanks the feedback is much appreciated

Dunno about the leftovers. For the future, they seem to release on Friday frequently. And he DID say it would be up to two weeks. I just check once in the morning; the last release was updated at roughly 10:30 AM PST, so I make sure to hop on around 11:00 AM PST. I just saw it updated finally and I'll check again Friday.



I considered asking about it and dismissed the idea. Gotta learn to be patient, right? If they say it'll happen then we just have to wait.

[erik212]

Looking good. Once again grabbing all 4. Afterlife and Illusive Man are my favorites thus far.

[BioWareStore Jedi]

Lithographs and posters will likely be next week. This week we have a Morrigan Disapproves, Zervan Approves, a Gray Warden Tee, and a DAO Griffin hat. Those will be going up this Friday.

[erik212]

Thanks for the update Jed. The only thing is that there are no new characters in this set, so I'm wondering how many more lithos will be made until they are all out (assume characters are planned to be released eventually). At this rate it looks like it's going to be a while... Hopefully the next batch will take longer so I can save up some more money. I'm tempted to buy two Citadels with the hope of trading one for an Illium in the future.



Do you know if the numbering will follow the previous releases' of being relatively random? I know the Citadel ones may be numbered strangely, but how about the other three?

[Makoma]

Haha, wow. Thanks, Jedi. I wasn't exactly asking for a schedule, but thanks for humoring us in this.

I'm kind of okay with not having any more characters. I'm running out of wall space, so this may be the last batch I purchase from. Then again I AM a hopeless fanboy. I could always buy them up and rotate them each month, haha!

The new character this time is the Illusive Man, by the way. I heard once that all lithos were based upon concept art, so if you tracked down an art book you may have a good idea what's in store. (Oh snap, is that a pun?)

Also, playing through Origins again because I lost my save. I might just get a Morrigan Disapproves shirt now. That **** just can't stay happy. I even downloaded the Slap Morrigan mod!

I'd love to see some new DA lithographs I have some money I am just waiting to spend on them. I may have to grab the Citadel lithograph while I wait.

[BioWareStore Jedi]

We're working on some DAO Lithographs. We are going to stagger the release for this next round. 1 next mid week, 2nd on Friday or Monday, and the last two the following Friday.



I'm not sure on the numbering this time around, but we are going to try to get our warehouse to pull starting at #1.



We're also working on more character Lithographs for the next round. I'm pushing hard for Tali.

[Hubb-]

Thank you for the response Jedi, I'm going to be keeping an eye out.

[Makoma]

Very specific, Jedi. Thanks again.



And Tali? That's just cruel! You're gonna take all my money. At least I'll be smiling!

[synthsapiens]

So let's say we decide to buy multiple lithographs from this batch - any way we can have them all shipped at once, maybe save a bit on shipping? The stuttered release would otherwise rack up the shipping a hell of a lot.

[BioWareStore Jedi]

We can look into creating a Lithograph packs so people can save on shipping. Do you guys have any thoughts on how we should do it? Should it be a pack for all 4? Should we do different combination's of Lithographs? Let us know what you think.

[Makoma]

Hah, I think releasing all at once so people can pick and choose would be best. Many people purchase all four, but I won't be doing that this time around.

So who takes precedence, then? If you intend to stagger the release, do you save some of each until the end and place the last 50 prints of each in a 4 pack? What if people want individual ones at the end of things? You could take the 4 pack orders on a preorder, and set those aside whilst the rest are staggered out, but would the 4 pack group feel cheated (those ordering singles would presumably receive theirs on a normal shipping schedule, while the 4 packs would wait until all are released)? It sounds like a hassle either way, really. I'd figure the way to make it easier for everyone is continue the way we're doing and release all at the same time, even if that means waiting longer.

It's really the question of immediate revenue and tedious work, work prone to mistakes. One is always interested in pleasing their customers, I suppose, but it seems like a bit much at this point.

I recomend a wait option on the shipping, such as hold for 2 weeks and ship with most rescent dated purchase. This way someone buys one litho day 1, the following week buys another litho. Doesn't buy the next weeks litho but then their order auto ships at that two week mark combining both orders into one. That would be nice. I know I am interested in getting the Collectors and Afterlife lithos but definetly not the $12 shipping cost total between both being shipped seperately.

OMG! More lithographs for ME? ? i wanted to purchase afew awhile back and it said 'comming soon' then suddenly they were 'sold out' NOOOOOOOOOOOO *shattered *

im going to keep an eye out now.

also will this be for sale soon or 'newly found illium prints' ?

Edited by tennyochan, 20 March 2010 - 09:27 AM.

[stardazzled]

At the moment, I'd go for Afterlife and the Illusive Man. Two lithographs at once are affordable and usually come without custom fees for me (save for the current exchange rate).

@tennyochan: I love this image, too. One of my favourites.

Edited by stardazzled, 20 March 2010 - 09:33 AM.

[Tennyochan]

i think I'm going to get the citadel and the Afterlife one.

I'm not sure about the whole pack thing. perhaps just offer it for all 4 or in 2's for those die-hard fans.



if i we're to vouch for a character lithographs it would like....hmmm... the whole freaking squad looking badass!!! LOL...aw i can dream-patience...-perhaps ME3

I agree with this if all future lithos are going to be released stageredly (is that a word?).

In my opinion if I were looking for a way to allow people to save on shipping I'd have a set number of each litho allowed to be preordered when the first one is released (of the 4 pack).  That way when you go to the check out screen you can also add in those that you will be preordering from the other three.  From here you just ship both/all of them when the last litho they preorder is released.  By having the preorder option instead of a general wait X amount of time I think will help solidify shipping dates.  I can understand how hectic it could be if you have to organize your packages so you can remember who ordered on X date not Y date, but instead have the release dates of the lithos be your major shipping days.

I would only allow a small precentage or number of lithos to be preorder at first so you can test the waters.  If it is really popular and you don't get a lot of people preordering and then canceling or preorder without actually having any money, I'd continue down this route.

[xLiKx]

nice, looking forward to the Citadel and Afterlife.

I think a smart way to do it might be to have options based on what's released - ie when the first oen is released, it's buy it alone (pretty much like normal), or buy a pack that would include it and the next 3 (ie you're guaranteed to get all 4 if you do that). Then when the 2nd one is released, either of the 2 as a single purchase, or either one + the next 2 to be released (a 3 pack). Etc, etc. Essentially it allows you to reserve the next ones if you know you're going to want them, or you can 'take your chances' with getting the next ones released when they are made available for single purchase.

[Ender]

Can anyone post a link to the new citadel litho? I'm not seeing it on the bioware store section for ME Art.



thanks
