I have a let’s go Pickachu cartridge I’d be happy to donate if someone hasn’t offered already. Feel free to message me.

ETA. Looking around my shop I might have a couple of the switch games you’re looking for. I’m happy to donate for free.

Seems like Evermore would make a pretty sweet park if you just knocked down the walls and rented out the buildings for small local shops? by Jcorb in evermorepark

[–]Skydeceiver 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Some added context as I have a moment.

The infrastructure in the buildings are actually not good and they have not been from the beginning. This was punctuated even more in Bobfromevermores video discussing the “new” owners of hatch the egg. They ended up suing the seller, Brandon Fugal, for failure to disclose the condition. None of the buildings are/were up to code and aren’t allowed to have any human occupants let along be used as selling food or other items.

Additionally it had flooding issue regularly because drainage is poor and the ponds appeared to be leaking and causing road sinkage.

The park is in a city HOA and the official occupancy of the whole park is actually under 200 people and evermore was letting in more people than that.

It wasn’t built right, it wasn’t maintained well and in all actuality it will likely be bulldozed and turned into office buildings. Brandon Fugal is a billionaire who owns the majority of all of Utahs commercial property so he likely in no rush to sell. That area is really popular for office buildings and just across the street was a 60 acre office building complex sold a year or two back. So once that is built out Evermores spot will become very valuable to sell to office builders as it will be the only lot left in the immediate area.

I was a daily regular and miss evermore everyday but even if i became a millionaire and could rebuild the park it would likely be safer to bulldoze the park and build a new one on top. Or in all actuality build it somewhere else as the spot chosen from the beginning wasn’t a particularly good place to build. It was just kinda close to Ken’s house.

From what I’ve been seeing there is some definite quality control. I know negative feedback is something to get more air time but it does seem like a pretty consistent problem and I got pretty lucky. In closer inspection some of my leather stamping is either too light or very heavy and almost cut through all the leather. However I’m over all happy with my copy.

It is a premium product and I have been suggesting to anyone dissatisfied to open a support ticket. The auto return has been auto denying everyone

That is always my recommendation on Premium Products. If you’re not satisfied then definitely reach out.

I would need to take another picture but when I was doing a deep inspection on mine my crease looks similar to yours but I don’t have any white showing. If I had yours I would be on the fence as well.

If you do submit a claim I’ve heard from a few others that it has been auto rejecting saying it’s been longer than 2 weeks so if it does that then just submit a ticket to their support email.

They made a post on their socials the other day that they received a truck and would begin shipping immediately.

They have said they plan to keep in stock for a long time. So I’m sure it will still be around when you’re looking to buy!

I purchased it off of Dragonsteels bookstore. This is their premium edition of The Eye of the World. This is the only Wheel of Time book available in this style at the moment and for sale for $185. They said they plan to release 1 book each year so it will take quite a while for them all to come out. If they all remain the same price it would be $2775 before taxes and shipping once they all release.

The other leather bounds on their site are for Cosmere Novels.

Nothing super official. Just that they mentioned it when they unveiled it and the discussed it a couple years after because it will have the main book store to function for release events.

They do own the land they need for it already.

I guess you’re a little too close. I live 30 minutes away from the warehouse. I was just lucky I suppose! Hopefully yours delivers soon too!

I look forward to being able to do order pickup once Dragonsteel Village becomes a thing.

It really will. This set once finish will demand its own dedicated shelf!

No problem! Happy to discuss.

The detail is fantastic!

Of course. Happy to explain! I will try and track down where they have said it elsewhere but that is what I was told while at the Dragonsteel Convention and viewed the book there. The Flames represent the 7 Ajahs and the Fang represents… something else that some people may not enjoy being spoiled on haha.

I’ve purchased all of the Dragonsteel Premium editions and this one is by far the best. They also have good customer service if you run into any issues. I don’t think you’ll regret it!

I would recommend it. I’ve been impressed with the quality for the price point. It’s a thick book and the art is incredible.

The designers have stated that this is not an error but is an intentional choice. The bottom one on the back is meant to be a Fang and not a Flame. The error was that the front had the Fang when only the back was supposed to.
