Maybe they already have books assigned to them, but the actual titles are not yet set in stone.

I thought perhaps it was the Mayan calender, keeping with the Mythos. At the rate you suggest 2064 will be able to be historically accurate. ;)

Thanks for making my Fanpro Print List obsolete, Adam. :P

As for 25011 and 25012, there's room for Matrix and something else which I haven't figured out yet. I'm assuming the other one would be something which hasn't ever gotten a reprint, but there's too much to choose from on that front.

There's plenty that's not on the list, but for character related products, the big omission is the Character Dossier.

Heh. That was one of my first thoughts after getting the news about the first stock numbers. "Man, KosherPickle is gonna be annoyed."

But that's why I posted it, so you can keep your list up to date :)

Don't read too much into the numbering scheme - it wasn't intended for "core" products to be early numbers. For books that are still in print/available, there's no need to reassign the stock number until the book sells out.

I'm flattered, actually. And I will. It's interesting to me, at least. :)

Well, I'm working with the same assumption I used to "designate" 10661 as the Matrix book. Since Matrix is going to get a reprint after the switch away from the 106xx system, it makes sense that a non-designated number would be assigned to a product that hadn't been reprinted yet, especially if there doesn't seem to be a specific reason to hold the numbers.

Such a shame, though. All those wasted numbers. :sleepy:
