Perfectly acceptable. Long as you don't mind me yelling "WE LEAVE" every time I have to retreat with the Vorcha.

Ha! That's funny. I still like the idea of CAG flash mobs where 3 people all go in as vorcha or all geth and just do stupid stuff.

try 12 ppl in an XBL party playing multi teams in Halo Reach, and everyone goes for the 4 ppl who aren't in the party.

...the amount of hate mail was incredible, esp from 4 ppl.

we were boosting some daily or weekly iirc, and then someone had the funny idea we join multi teams and wreck some havok. personally I would have liked to stick w/invasion but...I must admit it was pretty funny on top of having that many ppl coordinated to one goal.

the rogue team had a k/d/r about 12/64 each. They almost won which is funny because they had 12 ppl as targets we had 4. It was that horrible map for spawning in mp, the one with the 2 bases, the center thing that looks like a dish. horrible map for spawn camping.

back on topic: did the packs drop? I haven't checked.

Need. That. Like, now. Seriously bioware keeps putting out shitty lithographs when they could be helping to develop cool mass effect toys like this.

It has potential, but the paint job was sloppy and all he really did was customize the head (slightly).

But for the mere fact that it has potential, I agree that BioWare should be looking into other things than putting out a cheap quality N7 shoe for around $85.

And I don't mind the lithographs, as a long as they put out better ones. The one we've seen recently have been in art books and are uninspired.

it's possible they aren't willing to invest in the design and manufacturing of new products. they probably use cheaper vendors and hope the want for anything mass effect related will outweigh the quality of their products. I used to design fashion accessories, there's a long process in making the prototypes, getting approval, and then getting it all done in China. toys I imagine take longer and cost more because there's more unique parts that need modeling and painting. i.e. less universal componants. (why He-man toys all had virtually the same bodies just different heads...except teela of course. Meow)

I think we'll be seeing N7 condoms before too long.

While I understand what you're saying (I have little knowledge about how manufacturing works), what's the point of putting out pieces that 1, maybe 10 at most, will buy? Mass Effect shoes? Come on, give me a break. There are a couple of reasons why it'll be on the store a long, LONG time: 1) There was no announcement on the BSN (for big ticket items, they'll announce it), 2) After they put it up for pre-sale, no one's talking about it (and no one, save for a few people, is looking to buy it), and 3) as much as BioWare would like for their stuff to be sold-out the instant they put it up, the truth is that there aren't enough hardcore Mass Effect fans to justify it. This truth is compounded when you look at past lithograph sales. When the number of lithographs produced was 300, they sold out quickly. However, when BioWare decided they wanted ALL customers to get what they want (read $$$), they increased the number to 800. What started happening is that those lithos didn't sell out. In fact, they topped out at around 400-600. This is why BioWare has decided to produce only 500 lithos now. They simply don't have the number of hardcore fans to justify producing 800. And that is REALLY telling.

The jump from million seller game to buying merchandise related to the game is huge for the average person. Also, as popular as the Mass Effect franchise is, I doubt it's on the same level as Gears of War or Halo. Don't get me wrong, Mass Effect is a multi-million seller; it's just not a multi-million seller at Gears' or Halo's level. It hasn't broken though to the mainstream enough. It's still fairly stuck at the "hardcore" level.

Which is why it doesn't make much sense to me to put out unconventional items. Toys, books, and apparel (read t-shirts and the like) are fine because those are fairly normal for a lot of videogames. Shoes don't make much sense.

I have to agree with shrike4242: it won't be long before we see stranger and stranger items branded with the N7 logo. Surprised we haven't seen an N7 Zippo lighter (or I haven't heard of it), since almost everything has one of those.
