You can try to contact ebay about it but due to the ship date being relatively soon I don't think he's actually breaking any ebay rules

Sure they do. They can easily list a clause that these cannot be re-sold/pre-sold before the damn item is even printed or shipped! Otherwise they invoke a right to cancel your order.

I never understood this argument. As a collector, I want the item I purchased to be worth more than what I pay for it.. since I want it to be rare and know that it is limited to few people.

This means there will naturally be a market for these items on secondary markets. I don't really have interest in collecting something that everyone and anyone can have...

I agree 1000%. BUT not a month prior to, and immediately after an item comes out. A year later? Sure sell your print. What's happening here is if there are only 250 prints, I would bet 125 were purchased from resellers just to make $20. If treehouse wanted these to be sold auction style, then they would have listed them that way so THEY could receive the profits.

I received my replacement Skyrim lithos a few days ago and they are in perfect condition. Not a single crease line or bend. I couldn't be happier.

How was the package you received? Was it damaged by USPS?

It was packaged like all the others definitely not as nice as Ryans tomb raider packaging. Who ever rolled it rolled it tight as the big creases are throughout, no bent corners although it was loose in the tube and free to move. Same issues as my first ones, it only seems to be these bethesdas ones, so I worry about the 4 new prints I bought. I don't understand how you can repeatedly damage these, the company has to be loosing money in shipping and materials, production costs etc. Really disappointed

Sounds like your replacements were sent out by Bethesda and not by Treehouse. =/

Nothing is sent out by Bethesda or any of the game publishers

It is all handled by treehouse

However some of it like the tomb raider prints were packaged by treehouse themselves in their office but most are still packaged by the warehouse that treehouse contracts

Basically those warehouse people are terrible packers

For example they shipped a lot of the original skyrim/fallout prints in a 4" tube which is wide enough for that size print to be safely rolled shipped etc.

But for some reason the warehouse people decided that they had to be rollled tight and shoved all the posters next to each other in the tube instead of all prints being rolled to the outside of the tube

Not sure that made sense but if you saw it you'd immediately
