The one thing we don't want is someone who is in the graphics business and wants to sell the art they'd be getting trhough the group buy.  Anyone in that category should definitely suck it up and pay the $1,000.  Otherwise, its just a bunch of people pooling their money that wouldn't be able to afford a copy any other way.

Sounds like I misinterpreted your intent ... I assumed that this was buy-and-release. If not, I have no objection (not that my objection means anything anyway!).

FWIW, only "members" can download the true images from the website.

Cheers

Exactly ... some little guy in a helmet has been doing that lately ...  ;D

It'd be nice to be able to "buy" required artwork from the "group"... maybe at $5 or $10 per piece..

Well I missed the first group buy  :hissy:

But I would certianly be willing to contribute to a second. If anyone is organizing this please let me know.

Every individual who was part of that group buy has the right to make their own decision in this regard.  There was no formal agreement on this and no requirement beforehand.  Would it make some of the other parties unhappy?  Probably.  Would it be violating some agreement or statement made on behalf of the group?  Not at all.
