It's not released yet.

[Ender]

Oops my bad. I see them now. I'll be keeping an eye on these until they go up. I must have Citadel to complete my Trifecta.

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.

That sounds like the most reasonable way to do things, and still stutter the releases. Separate the batch pre-orders and the single orders, make it easier to track, and cut shipping rates for those of us mad enough to buy buy buy.

Man I love these lithographs. I was pissed that I missed out on the Citadel the first time, hoping I can get one this time around as well all the new ones. Running out of wall space though.

[erik212]

Wow, this thread got popular all of a sudden. I support the pre-ordering and/or shipping in 2 weeks idea. Also, simply having random numbering again would resolve the issues with people buying the 4 packs taking up the lowest/highest numbers.



Also, thanks for pushing Tali Jed...

[Dsurian]

People buying multiple litho's together should give them a discount on shipping...but putting them together in a 'prize pack' of sorts? - only if your having trouble selling them, which you all honestly don't seem to have issues with, as we are all obviously quite rabid.



And Jedi, if you do push Tali, please make sure its a properly great Litho (ex: Tali standing in front of a pile of destroyed Geth?)...I mean, there are Lithos like the Citadel and Garrus that just have this epic quality to them...and then there are Lithos like the one of Jack...or maybe its just the fact that its not Garrus?...i dunno...just sayin, needs to be epic...please.

[BioWareStore Jedi]

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Here is the latest. Afterlife will be the first to arrive on Wednesday, Citadel on Friday or Monday, the final two Lithographs will be in the following week.



We will offer each for sale individually and also allow people to pre-order all 4 together to save on shipping costs. For those that would like to pre-order, but don't want all 4 we'd suggest you purchase the pack and email support to adjust your order.



Thanks.

Sounds good, I'll just fork up the extra in shipping, won't hurt too much, its only for 2. Can't wait to see Afterlife! Is it, Wednesday as in tomorrow? Will there be a pre-order stage or will it just automatically go up and be available for purchase?

Hey, no insults. Jack's concept is great. May actually be the first of the last four to get on the wall (they are still outside for flattening; I even kind of ironed them to get the wrinkles out).

If Garrus fans are that picky when it comes to a non-favorite character, I'd already imagine the Tali fans: 'Oh no, goddess Tali should have been more like this or like that.' You, Jedi, are responsible for a generation of whiners, then.

[synthsapiens]

Excellent, now I just need to keep an eye on the store tomorrow... while on a train...



There are no flaws in this plan.

[hist200066]

Sounds good. Thanks Jedi for doing a pre-order 4 pack. Any chance those who get the 4 pack could get the same numbers? ... except for the Citadel litho of course. Maybe its just me but I'd think having an Afterlife, Collectors, and Illusive Man litho with the same number would be kind of cool.

Hngnn....I'm all nervous and twitchy for Friday's Citadel release. I want it so badly after missing out on it last time around. Wish there was some Twitter function that signals you when something like this hits the store, instead of me checking every 3-5 hours. haha......*nervous*....ha......*twitch* ha..0_o....

[Tennyochan]

^thats what i do. i don't want to miss out. *smashes F5 repeatedly*

[Makoma]

Same! Been doing it for a couple weeks, actually, just refreshing on my phone at work or something.



I didn't even know Bioware HAD a store until February, when all the Illium and Citadels were out. I'm not gonna miss it this time! Hehe.

I never really insulted Jack's concept...but it obviously hasn't sold that well comparitivley.  And all I'm sayin is that if they do  make a Tali Litho, its going to have to be epic due to the expectation...there would probably be less repercusion if the artists didn't make a Tali Litho at all compared to if they did and it wasn't 'godlike'...thats all im tryin to point out.  I mean, thankfully the Tali peeps arnt watchin this thread or else they would likely overload the forums with either a) whining that they 'need' the Tali Litho or else their life has no meaning or endless complaints if Jedican't make his voice heard... *says the user with the Tali sig* <-- I'm a fan but havnt ever posted in the fan thread...so I'm not crazy; just a voice.

Attention Jedi!!
Uhhhhh...scarin me Jedi...by "all 4 together", you mean the 4 that are being opened to the public within the next 2 weeks(above pic), right?...meaning thats including the very limited and very saught after Citadel?!?  I mean, thats the only one i want, so you're allowing people to pre-order it as a bundle before i can even (pre-)order it singularly?!?  ...so, theoretically, i'm going to have to preorder and pay for all 4 of the Litho's...and then email the support team and hope that i can change the order so that it fits my actual desired order before the first 180 bundle buyers...and before they send the Afterlife Litho to my house...and then hopefully I'll get re-imbursed // - if i have any desire to ever own a Citadel copy, thats what i have to do...right...?  *depressing sigh* Not intending to sound violent...but if that all is true, its sounds really...well, stupid...

While I'm going to get the 4 pack regardless, I can see how it might sell out before it even gets to the day it's supposed to sell, as Dsurian mentioned above. Stardazzled, how exactly did you iron your lithos? I'd be interested in replicating your technique.



Anyway, I think we can trust the artists who came up with Tali to do her justice in the litho. No need to pressure them any more than needed... Unfortunately I'll be gone until late tonight tomorrow, hopefully I don't miss out.

[Makoma]

Damn, didn't think of that. I don't want all four, just Afterlife/Citadel. I'd feel cheated if they 4pack ate em all up

[Zeratul20]

I wonder. What would the shipping costs be for one of these? (Destination: Belgium, Europe.)

Is there any way to calculate that?

[Hellhawx]

I thought one was supposed to release today? I don't want to come back from classes to find it sold out (I can't beleive how crazy the first was).

[DarkLordPsycho]

Perhaps the citadel should be a pre-order bundle as well seeing as most people still want that one and there are fewer available.

[Makoma]

Hell, from what I see they usually update around 10:30 AM PST. Check back then

Yeah this is making me even more nervous. All I want is Citadel though.

I know, Jedi had said that Afterlife should release today. Thats my favorite bar in Mass Effect! I gotta try and get number 1! I got just enough credit available on my CC with Afterlife's name on it!

Jedi, where are you? Please don't tell me the Sith have taken over the BioWare Store! (something tells me this maybe next wednesday, which I would prefer).

[Makoma]

Likewise, Hellhawx. I thought he meant this week. Maybe there's a problem implementing this odd system we brainstormed and things got delayed?



I'm all for that, haha. Wait till Friday so I can get my Citadel before the 4 packs eat them.

[erik212]

Not sure what the logistical complications would be, but maybe the citadel should be swapped with the afterlife for being the first release.
