Open The Hatch 406


Kevin Tong will open the Hatch and sell 45 copies via his online store for $200 each, plus shipping. Today, at noon PST… which is Greenwich Mean Time minus 8 hours. Kevin placed everything you need to know in his Newsletter.

Further Instructions:
The poster will appear on the far left of the side scrolling store. There is no link other than the one mentioned below. Don’t bother with back end stuff (cheaters!), the code will not exist until the moment of the sale.

I strongly suggest that once you have the item in your cart that you check out and make the purchase immediately. I am not sure if adding it to your cart will hold it, but purchasing it is a surefire way to secure your copy of “The Hatch”.

I have had some inquiries about the shipping cost. If you do not select the proper cost for where you live ($210 USA, $215 everywhere else), I WILL cancel the order and return the item to the inventory. I will not adjust or take later payments. PLEASE do not try to order more than one poster, the order will be canceled. If you successfully ordered a poster and do not get a refund email in two hours, then you are good to go, just sit back and relax. Before emailing me with questions, please refer to this blog post as I will issue updates.

1. Make sure you have the right time zone figured out.

2. Make sure the credit card or bank account associated with your paypal is good (right info and sufficient balance). The best way is to have the amount needed in your paypal account, so the purchase will go over smoothly.

3. Make sure the address associated with your paypal account is current.

4. Make sure you add colt83 at gmail to your contact list. That way, the shipping confirmation email will not get spammed.

UPDATE: I have set the print at $215 and will offer $5 refunds to US customers who buy it. Please check my blog (tragicsunshine.com/newsletter) for the final updates. I will be AFK for a while as I am driving Olly Moss to his first day of work in the United States. You read that correctly.

Plus, they made a little video together…

Kevin stopped by in the comments again and posted another update: Please check your email (the one associated with your paypal account/transaction). If you do not see a refund email, THEN YOU ARE SAFE! Several refunds had to be made because despite setting the inventory, paypal let a few slip by before capping it off. Which orders got refunds was determined by who came after the first 45 orders. I am really sorry for those of you who got refunds or didn’t make it in time. I will be adding more updates tonight, so please check back in here.

I have no idea what the cost is for each type as they could either buy in bulk or or just buy what supplies they need for the time. I was making the point that $50 was a good deal for these LOST prints and that is a good deal. Someone said that prints cost about $5 bucks to make and that may be so. Nobody sells anything at cost...they would never make a profit. You have to include time, money, etc...ABC paid these guys to do this and as I said, they did it I am sure for a few reasons. My point still stands that what we originally paid for these things at D&C is a great price since comparable prints go for around that exact same price for one at various shows. I am very thankful for this ARG supplied to us by ABC and for the talented artists who took on the jobs.

I agree with you though...It is refreshing to see a company like ABC put something like this on and keep the prices reasonable...

you have to admit though, it's pretty funny the kinds of debates people get into on message boards...

Zort, great photos of the big cats ! Live the first photo of the tiger you shared a day or so ago. I rescued a Cormorant in Florida when I was there 5 years ago and have the scar on my hand to prove it lol Then went to a bird sanctuary in Key West and the guy let me hold one of them (that didn't try to rip my hand off) since I was the bird Guru here in NH for a long time at the wild life rescue. Loved it !

like some designer toy makers/artists from my understanding artists might get paid with product...ie. These artists receiving 50 prints to do with how they choose...IF all 50 are sold to fans the artist not only gets their name out there but they can make some decent money (Depending on price) for one design. The PR from a series like could potential be worth more than selling the prints, in the long run.

It's cool that an artist would bend over backward to be fair to fans like this. I for one appreciate his original comment about cancelling orders who click the wrong shipping as well as his offer of a single price & then refund. Talk about an awesome guy. I'm really impressed! I'm one of those people who took the time to select the correct shipping on the Moss sale and missed out at the very last stage after clicking the final button. Wish Moss had run his orders the same way. :-/ Am hoping Tan's is an easy, smooth transaction. *fingers crossed*
