More Irrational Games Limited Editon Items

Then I found out from a source that these were sent out to gaming news outlets. And now they have made 3 batches so far on top of that like Mortal pointed out.


Personally I didn't like the book but it still makes me feel bad for the people who may have paid outrageous prices under Irrational's guise of it being rare.

I think it's safe to assume nothing is or ever will be a limited edition from the Irrational store other than the signed runs. Honestly I'm ok with that as long as they are up-front about it, which they pretty much have been (with the GLARING exception of the Bronco screenprint).
Even those stupid little books were never officially called a limited release.

I think in the future I won't be in such a rush to buy, and I think I've had my fill of very expensive signatures. I still love Bioshock though, and I'm still glad we can get nice merch out of the franchise.

Has anyone heard of problems with the Daisy Fitzroy Prints?

Specifically that some came with the wrong COAs?

I.E. number on back of print is not the same as number on COA?

That's pretty funny if true.

lol I suppose looking from the outside at it, yes

But if you bought one and got the wrong COA

I imagine that sucks a lot

They should refund the purchase. The certificate is they only thing that makes it worth anything more than the open edition.

I just checked Ebay and someone is trying to sell theirs with mismatched numbers. $999.99 or OBO... good luck!

I guess I need to take this back as Treehouse has now reprinted "The Team" litho in a new unsigned unnumbered edition.

The Team Litho on Treehouse now is the open edition that is 18 x 24, and is not new, they just brought it back. The original signed limited edition was 39.5 x 22 with a silver N7 foil.

That's my point... it's a reprint of a limited item. Which devalues the original I think, even though it's smaller.

There have been several mini-lithos too.
