It's an awkward situation, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I want more people to have a chance at them, but I don't want them to be less special than how they were announced. I like the idea of sitting on them for a while and then doing something fun with them after everyone thought they were really gone forever.

I'm going to be a dick and really make everyone here understand that if they want to call something "exclusive" in the future, they need to be prepared to stick to it. I think our future "* Con Exclusive" ideas are going to be renamed "Convention Exclusive" so we can still bring them to other shows here and there if there are leftovers.

Yeah I would be pissed if you put them on the store considering I paid a fortune on eBay for a set - as in my eyes there was zero chance of actually ever getting them, ever....

It's perfectly fine. If it's exclusive to X convention, collectors complain about it, if you put it up on the store, collectors complain that this is not exclusive anymore.

If you or a friend can't go to X convention then buy the prints on ebay and deal with it.

A little late to the discussion but just wanted to say Kudos to you Ryan for putting up a "fight" for integrity. I think the solution you've listed is the best considering your situations.

Just wanted to recognize your efforts - wish more people/companies would keep these type of things in mind when making claims - if your word isn't your bond then what good is it? Wish I had seen this thread earlier - but I'll definitely be on the look-out for the ES:O things going forward! Thanks again!

Oh man! *crosses fingers* Please be at PAX Prime!

I can't make it to PAX, but will need these lithos no doubt.

I understand where you're coming from, but the point here was to make them "exclusive" to the convention. If we sell them online later, I think that's disingenuous and would hurt the collectibility (which I expect you would be sensitive to, if only you weren't on the wrong end of this one)....

We're going to do a set of ESOL lithos for the store soon, but are waiting for approvals on different pieces of art.

You fly me to Australia, and I'll bring you some lithos personally....

One day Ryan.... I will bring you here and you will bring me every single Treehouse merchandise.

That's OK ryan, I understand. I don't have to agree, but I understand.

Looks like I'll be lubing up to take it in the you know what via eBay. Won't be the first time, and won't be the last either I'm sure.

I had to pay eBay prices for my signed SDCC ME litho set as well.

If we do end up with some left over, I'll try to have at least one set sent to TwistedSymphony so he can do a giveaway or something with them. Still almost entirely exclusive to PAX, but at least gives something to you guys as die-hard collectors....

That would be awesome. I have to ask Ryan, as employees are you allowed to buy treehouse artwork and stuff or do you get special one off items. Do you collect artwork too?
