Looks like I'll be lubing up to take in the you know what via eBay.

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?

Thanks Ryan,

This sounds like the best option if you really have to keep it exclusive to PAX East

I take it you had less strict obligations with the SDCC lithos that have been mentioned?

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

The SDCC lithos for Mass Effect were done fully by Dark Horse, so we had no say in any of that. They gave us some to sell a fair amount later, and I thought it was weird, but it wasn't enough numbers to really fuss over (10 to 20ish each, I think).

Because I only heard of them after the fact, I don't know how big a deal they made about them being "exclusive" to SDCC, but our intention with these was to fully commit.

I'm not sure how personal an answer you're looking for here, but I'll try to give it a shot without derailing the thread too much.

We're allowed to buy things from ourselves, sure.... We offer discounts to people at the studios we work with, and so add our own employees to the same group. We also give everyone here an amount of store credit every year to spend on whatever they want, but it doesn't tend to last very long.

The company gets a few overages on most prints we do as samples/proofs, so they're around the office and some of us hang them up and pretend they're ours without actually claiming ownership.... And then there are the holdbacks for damages that occasionally go unclaimed and end up with us.

We also have racks and racks of things that didn't make it into the stores, so there are one-off things everywhere. And we occasionally print something in larger sizes than we carry in the store for employees bigger than 2x if we can, so I guess that counts, too.

I'm a compulsive collector of a lot of things. That's part of why I liked you guys so much and have been so enjoying spending entirely too much time here....

I tend to work more than I should (maybe you've noticed?), so I don't get to spend as much time with games as I'd like. I don't own too many CEs and can kind of distance myself from what would otherwise be a cripplingly expensive hobby for me (maybe you can relate?).

Here's a shot of a recent obsession taking over my [messy] desk at work right now:




(terrible cellphone photo, but that's almost forty Dunnys ready to march into battle)

Not pictured is a frankly shameful amount of unframed screenprints (that is a very real vice of mine) stacked and rolled in the corner behind me. One day I'll get some of them hung, but there always seems to be more work that needs doing....

It sucks most litographs etc. are very usa centered (as in being sold and printed there), or at exclusive usa events. Really wish europe would get something nice!

We really need some usa forum members to go to pax and get some of these things

I have a friend that's going. I have already asked him to pick up a set for me. We'll see what happens. I doubt he'll pick up more than one set for me though. Sorry guys. I'm not holding my breadth on my own set anyway. I'm prepping the lube for what may end up being a trip to eBay.

Dude you are so lucky! That must be an awesome job. Are you guys hiring? I would love to work for Treehouse! All my paychecks would go right back to the company!
