Dishonored / Skyrim / Fallout Litho's

Dreamcazman · #1 03-20-2013, 02:30 PM

I got the email this morning (Aus time), just a couple of questions for Ryan.

1. I'm curious to know what damage occurred to the lithos, do you have any photos?
2. The email mentioned a credit that will be applied to our accounts. How much will we receive and when?

I hope these replacements don't detract from the value of them, considering they're a second run and all.

Yea i'm a little worried about this too, but i don't think it will be an issue if all of the first run are destroyed. However if the less-than-ten unaccounted for first run prints make it into circulation then their is going to be a problem

Take a look at this listing....seller is definitely spinning this, must have a background in public relations

This annoys me to no end

Quote:

Because this is a numbered item, we're going to designate the new
prints with an asterisk so there will be no confusion in case the
fewer-than-ten unaccounted-for first run prints end up surfacing.
Numbering will now look like: 1/300 *, 2/300 *, etc. We're chasing
down the missing numbers from this first run so we can avoid any
collisions, but just to be safe, the asterisk will unobtrusively keep
things clear.

When you see an asterisk, you think "what is wrong with this information?"

I.E. an asterisk next to a world record is heart-breaking

So now I'm not going to want to point out the fact that it's numbered as anyone that looks at it will automatically ask what does the asterisk mean?

Personally I think that's a terrible way of correcting the issue.

They really should have accounted for all lithos if they were going to do this but seeing as how they can't I would have much preferred them to use a different font or color on the numbering to show that it's the "second run"

Because I for one paid for the "first run"

If you can't tell I ain't happy about this

That scumbag needs to remove his listing and hopefully the Bethesda store finds out who he is and cancels his replacement order.

Edit: perfect! Ryan, can anything be done about resellers especially with the issue going on regarding the damaged lithos? If they were meant to be sold for hundreds then your company should have that profit, not some bottom feeder.

I guess there is some small possibility they actually received it. I just got a chuckle out of the comments at the bottom now that we know more about what is going on...

If they received it, there wouldn't be an issue with just sending it out now. They wouldn't have to lie about getting their special replacement shipping on the 1st and could just turn it around right away.... The part about the colors and any contact with us (as "Bethesda") is total bullshit. But, good spin, as you said above.

I'm an eternal optimist and tend to give the benefit of the doubt, so thanks for clearing that up!

Quick update on the saga of this guy: he wrote in and demanded we refund him "the market rate" of $325 instead of the price he paid if his replacement didn't show up by a certain date (and this was like four days after it had been mailed, so was very literally out of our hands). Super fun.

Also, new lithos tomorrow for Fallout, Skyrim, and ESO.
