Their official press release has arrived! More like TRE totally beat me to the punch line and posted about them. But it’s true, Kathie Olivas’ Scavengers have finally arrived. The release date has been set for June 20th with a SRP of $11.99– there is a need to complain though. When I first spoke to representatives at the company, they thought the packaging would most likely be open-window display. It seems, although the packaging is done really well, that window display is not the route they went [may be wrong since there aren't more detailed photos of the packaging]. That means, our wallets won’t be spared.
I had a couple comments/concerns about the information Mindstlye had on their site.
1. I like that they’ve placed so much priority into the packaging. I believe they went as far as saying: “The flip top gift box is closed by a magnet and comes with a slip cover. We’ve found collectors find the packaging equally as important, so we’ve made every effort to create something that is worth keeping.” I don’t think I can express how glad I am that they really focused on packaging because I’m one of those people. The kind of people who carefully and strategically open a box so the packaging will seem untouched. Yay!!
2. There’s a detailed list of apparently 13 production pieces that will have approx. 2000 pieces in production. But then there’s a whole other list of “exclusives” per shop/location. Do you know how much confusion this is bringing to my life? I want to own them all… now not only will I have to deal with blind boxes (if they are in fact blind) but I’ll have to deal with making connections in other cities in order to have them all in my possession. You can check out a lot more at MindStyle’s blog.
p.s. I’m not even sure this post makes any sense… I keep getting distracted from the post.
