No OOTS ornaments this year?
Been picking these up since the second one (the first still eludes me...). Is the Giant not doing one this year?

Re: No OOTS ornaments this year?
He has a big piece of merchandise coming up soon, and stills needs to work on his comic, why would he take the time to do some ornaments?

Re: No OOTS ornaments this year?
He's far too busy, he obviously is struggling to get everything done, why put something else on top?

Re: No OOTS ornaments this year?
I've been wondering the same thing. I have an order sitting in my shopping cart at Cafe Press, waiting to see if an ornament appears before I pay.
Looking back over the old News posts, last year's wasn't announced until December 3rd, so I'll wait a bit longer.

Re: No OOTS ornaments this year?
I lolled at this one.
Still, that is the point of publishing the book in the end, isn't it? I find it funny how everyone flips out when someone mentions that the giant makes money off the comic. So, uh, yeah, that's how he's able to do the comic full time..
I personally miss the refrigerator magnets though, even though I've only gotten one.

Re: No OOTS ornaments this year?
Just a presumption on my part, but... if the updates on his comic take a lot of his time already, why should Rich Burlew design holiday ornaments? I am not very knowledgable about Rich Burlew's merchandice, but at this point, I doubt that there will be new ornaments this year.

Re: No OOTS ornaments this year?
But he makes more money off the book then he does off the ornaments, plus, why put even more on his no-doubt filled schedule?

Re: No OOTS ornaments this year?
The ornament is up at CafePress, along with a few other new designs. It's got O-Chul and the
Rich might still be working on more stuff, though, since we don't have an announcement yet. It just sort of appeared while I was shopping.Last edited by SPoD; 2009-12-02 at 11:02 PM.

Re: No OOTS ornaments this year?
Linky.
Wow, there's been some new stuff added since I last checked. It must be pretty recent, since the OotS mugs and waterbottles have all of the outfit updates.
I think drinking coffee out of a Xykon mug would make that coffee all the more awesome...

Re: No OOTS ornaments this year?
Do you know that for sure?
I mean, I bought the book, I won't buy the ornament. But this is a compilation book. It's already available online. It probably won't sell as well as the prequels.
The ornaments are collected since there is a different one every year, for a limited amount of time.
There could be more people buying the ornament than the book. We don't really know that. We don't know what gets him the most money, what sells the best, how much profit he makes on everything.
I was just wondering how you could say that as though it's a fact when you probably have no more way to know than I do.Last edited by Lissou; 2009-12-03 at 09:28 AM.
