They don't seem to really be putting out anything limited or collectible anymore.... I wonder if the stores will close and everything will just be combined with ThinkGeek...

Basically, IT'S ThinkGeek. But with a different name...so that could be possible. But I don't see it happening. They sell a lot of stuff from those sites (Bethesda store, Playstation Gear store etc.) so why closing?

Looks like no God of War prints. I really think they're not going to make lithographs anymore, for any game. They seem like a headache to ship and I'm sure they got lots that got damaged.

Do we have any members in here that could confirm/deny this suspicion? Art prints are my favorite collectible. :/

Saw candb retweeting some God of War art on twitter. Wouldn't surprise me if they did a collection.

Confirmed: Cook & Becker will release God of War prints.

Since the release of the new God of War video game on April 20th, millions of players have been traversing the stunningly rendered pre-Viking world created by Sony Santa Monica Studio. A world full of Norse mythology, scenic beauty and brutal combat.

Concept Artist Jose Cabrera Peña - who also did illustrations for the Game of Thrones historical book - perfectly captured the feel of what the game was going to be about according to God of War's Creative Director Cory Balrog. In his concept designs Peña really captured what God of War needed to be. We are proud that we can soon release a series of prints based on his GoW images.

If you love the new God of War as much as we do, keep a close eye on us. We are bringing out the first prints of our new God of War collection very soon!

I think alot of the online stores may be going out of business. The Bethesda store is literally having a firesale right now on almost everything they offer. Square Enix was also having 75%+ off last week.

Artwork in particular form those sites is non-existent now. I'm sure it has to do with the packaging - it's a pain in the ass to package and kills profits.

Never received a damaged print from those stores but they take so long to pack and ship - weeks.

Also they almost always end-up selling part of the prints for half the price, this is probably not good for them.

Soooo I saw their Nord statue was pretty cheap, added to cart and then realized they won't ship out of United states until we-don't-know-when.

I was redirected to a page where they said they now have a store in Europe...

http://Eumerch.bethesda.net

They have some posters but no ''real art'' for now...and that makes me think they just sent all their remaining art prints there and are waiting to receive them to put them up on the site.
That would explain why ALL their art prints where removed at the same time from the US store.

The EU Bethesda store took all thier artwork out about 3 weeks ago. They had a good selection of some neat Stone artwork that I was going to order, but it disappeared with all the rest of the art overnight.
