WD Trivia/Storytime Thread

[Aristides]

I don't know who of the original staff may have five fingered this, but it's possible. It wouldn't have been in storage, though. Would have had to have gone straight from the office to someone's house. All of that was supposed to come back when WD closed, but it's very possible this one didn't.

What happened to all that stuff when WD did close? 0-0

This kind of stuff was sent back to Sony or packed up and stored at the WD warehouse. Lots of other stuff was thrown out. For example, we had thousands of posters and nowhere to store them, so to the recycling place they went. Just a single mint Dragon Force or LUNAR poster can go for $25 or more now. Best not to think about it.

Oh man, that brings tears to my eyes. I'd always hoped you had just stuck them away somewhere because I remember you giving out some freebies occasionally when people bought stuff. But I'd had filled my house with them if I just knew they were getting tossed in the bin. I picked up a Lunar hint guide poster and an Arc one from Kelly a couple years ago, but there are lots of others that are just so hard to find now. I'd assume you at least have the original assets so reproductions could be made in the future if the licensing was worked out.

I hope you didn't toss the pins too, those are one of my favorite collectibles WD did.

I kept *some* stuff, but there was an overwhelming amount of stuff, so lots of it was just recycled. Some of it I wish I had kept more of, but at the time there was simply no room.

god, was this an understatement...and here i was just asking if you had any about too, so sorry man. like you said though, it's a testament to the quality if you guys' efforts that so many still check for them years later too.

Oh, no, small stuff like pins I kept because I could store them easily. I have a personal collection of all the pins, and bulk quantities still for most of them.

I wish I bought more of the merchandise associated with Working Designs. I liked the hats and pins. I never did want to tear the coupon out of the strategy guide to send it in for an exclusive poster for whatever reason of mine but in the future I'm going to keep in mind to just do that.

Hahaha, that's totally me too. Looking back that was crazy on my part, but yet I've still got my original guide with the coupon still attached. Eventually I found a copy of the poster for sale from Kelly and picked one up, they're just beautiful and I never realized what I was missing until I'd picked one up.

Glad to hear it! Do you happen to still have the Vanguard Bandits pins in stock for the PSN special offer as well? I'd like to grab some for my collection since I think I've got all of them but that.
