Are the Limited Edition with the Signed Lithographs going to be numbered? To know I would own #3 of 500 would be delightful.
The Plaque itself is numbered for the 1400 copies of the collectors edition. CCP Logibro // EVE Universe Community Team // Distributor of Nanites

Five minutes later I had my order confirmation. I feel somewhat guilty, but this will be a nice addition to my man-cave. You have a very supporting partner! Thank you for your purchase Manic, you won't regret it! |

Thing is, when I got to the site earlier the ticker said ~26 signed and 400 regular we're left . If there was initially 500 signed I make that a total of 900 - so where is the missing 100?
(I do Apologise if I'm incorrect here, I was in a rush to get my order through).
The missing 100 ( unsigned ) were reserved to be sold to CCP staff and for PR, reviews and business partners. Members of the EVE dev team and more obviously wanted to get a copy as well. |

This is definitely legitimate. I wonder if CCP was surprised by the rate of sale, This is true. We did not expect it would sell out in 7 hours, to be honest. It caught everyone happily by surprise, save for those who missed the announcement. |

can the clothing items be put on market, or is it locked to the redeeming account? or after 6 months it will be available through LP stores or NEX?
thanks
It's exclusive to this offer for 6 months. It may be seeded elsewhere ( TBD ) after 6 months. It basically means that CCP does not promise that it will stay exclusive forever, but hasn't determined if and how and when it will enter the game by different means. |

Be noted that 200 units were kept by Dark Horse to be sold at their booth at trade events such as ComicCon. We will make more details of availability and upcoming events public once they are known to us. |

I have to echo t0rfi's sentiments here, the entire team who was involved in the production of this book are simply astounded by how fast this sold out.
CCP Gnauton was literally jumping up and down and highfiving people, and myself and the rest of the writers are incredibly happy.

Xindi Kraid wrote:SO what time was it in Australia when it was announced this was for sale there? CCP still needs to make more units, though. Pretty sad to see you guys are flying 200 books to australia and most of them are probably going to be flying right back out. It was posted at 5pm Australian time, 1 am EST / 6 am GMT, to favor Oceania. |

Will there be a second run of the limited edition set or is this final? 1,400 seems a bit low. No second runs, that would negate the limited part. THat said, Dark Horse comics will be selling these at their booths during conventions such as Comic Con. But the EVE Store is out, and I haven't heard from IKON, but their 200 units are probably selling fast. |

No, it was actually a conversation between CCP and Dark Horse, based on prior works and their limited editions they had released on other titles and franchises. In retrospect, the number was too low, but due to the nature of limited editions, we will not be releasing more of this one, that would negate the value attributed to it for the people that managed to get a copy.
There is always the standard edition, it has all the pictures and the text:
You can find it here at Things From Another World. |
