I've been a weekly reader for years, but have never signed up for the forums or interacted in any way. But like so many others, I've been completely enchanted watching the total climb over the last couple of days.
Just had to quote your whole post for truth. I've been reading OOTS for years and never bought any of the merch, assuming none of it was in short supply. I didn't even realize the books had bonus material, or there were print-only comics. This pledge got me to look into it and now I'm trying to collect them all.

I'm especially looking forward to reading the print-only stuff I hadn't even heard about!
