Default Re: Official limited Tomb Raider screenprints and giclees now live!

Ryan, might be just me but I would like to select my number for a limited edition item..Is there any chance in the future that the site will provide this feature? I know everyone wants #1, but I have seen other sellers do this. But I also understand from a selling point of view this can detract buyers...what is your thoughts..

That would be more difficult with shipping, making sure everyone gets the right number etc.

Also, this tends to be only done when either the print is very low, or where the product is printed when ordered (mostly more expensive stuff)

Yeah, sorry. Logistical nightmare. Shipping mistakes are bad enough when the stakes are at a normal level, but promising specific numbers and then having it go sideways would be devastating, i think.

To say nothing of the extra damage to the art caused by the packers riffling through the stack every time they pack an order looking for a specific number instead of just grabbing from the top.

On top of which, we'd be charged a lot more because the warehouse people 1. wouldn't want to do it and so would charge accordingly, and 2. it's legitimately extra work. So we'd have to charge you guys more to make ends meet.

And if that weren't enough, there are lots of instances where we don't know the number of the item without breaking a seal or otherwise adding a bunch of extra work. That wouldn't be an issue with this art, I don't think, but if we wanted to send them along pre-rolled or something, then there would be no way to figure it out unless we had a different SKU for every number instead of one SKU and numbered products.

I could probably go on.....

Neat idea, but it doesn't scale.

I once ordered a litho from the Rockstar warehouse, which by the way ships flat.

The packaging indicated the number of the litho (not by pen but on the label), that being said it wasn't possible to pick a number.

So uh... I went a tad overboard, maybe. Ordered everything, 13 giclees and 4 screenprints. I'm going to have to buy a second house just for all of my artwork now.

I also make a similar demand! haha. That is awesome. I would love to order them all, but due to some other purchases this month, can't afford it .

These prints are honestly one of the coolest ideas i've ever seen done with video gaming merch. I highly applaud both treehouse and square for taking the risk with this unusual promotion. I hope we see similar things with other franchises as well.

It was hard to select ... I chose Sam Wolfe Connelly Ascension Giclee and Sam Spratt Tomb Raider Giclee.
