Lore I Finally Got One!

Post image

I’ve been hunting for one of these, as I’m sure many of you have been, for years. I finally found an overseas seller and jumped on it. I’m feeling like a little kid on Christmas morning right now!

I bought the pdf files and just bought binders and page protectors 😬

The books from this era are way too expensive and hard to find. CGL should focus on making them more accessible, specially that stuff like ER 3145 (that o have, luckily) and Shattered Fortress (that I don't, I wasn't paying attention to BT at that time) are still relevant and directly related to the current plot

I have a PDF of Shattered Fortress, and reading this made me realize I've never actually read it. I need to fix that.

It is always satisfying to catch one of your white whales. Congrats.

Where did you get yours and for how much? I paid way too much for mine. 😭

I’m still looking for Liao and Marik to complete my collection.

I just saw one of these in the wild, didn’t know they were hard to come by or would have picked it up.

Looking for Aloha Strike commander’s edition. Can’t believe they let that go out of stock. Tried printing one on lulu, but it rejects the pdf

They are rare because CGL was just recovering from Loren's embezzlement and they didn't produce many copies. All the books from 2011-2018 or something like this are hard to get
