Wow that is a new one

I think they think they can scale it... like percentage wise over the original price or something.


Anyways who is getting one and which version... and why?

I will try to get the non-signature one if its still there Wednesday

Honestly now I don't want anything with Ken's signature on it

If it was for fans and not for money, the 50 signed would be randomly given out amongst the normal ones

Also dislike that first edition nonsense

Sigh irrational store is such a money whore these days

Sorry I said it

All of them are really (well most all of them)... some people got made when I said this about Irrational (it is actually NOT Irrational... it is 2K/Take Two' marketing) not too long ago, oh well. It is all run by corporations that anything they do is to make money, plain and simple. v

For example most lithos probably cost a few dollars to make... even this bottle probably works out to no more then $30-$50 tops to produce (especially if there are going to be more editions).

Yes and no

At least with treehouse they usually try to garner more money by releasing more products

They don't charge for signatures

When they re-release a limited edition art work they change it's size usually

I much prefer the way Treehouse is run then irrational

Honestly it makes me like Ken less

You need to consider the mark up percentage in my opinion. But really this is not a gaming memorabilia debate, it is a capitalism debate.



And it is not Ken really it is the people he works for.

Not sure Capitalism would be the right word for it

To be honest I think Ken likely has far more to say about it then you would think

I doubt there's a clause in his contract with irrational that dictates he signs everything and anything put in front of him

I think he willingly does it personally

Guy just seems to like signing stuff

I suppose the pricing might not be handled by him but it still greatly dilutes the appeal of his signature to me

This was totally expected. I've been complaining about this since their trio of lithos.

People keep buying, they keep increasing the price of his signature. Its that simple really, so if you are someone who has bought every single signed thing they have put out, I'm not sure why you're complaining.
