I appreciate the fact that they are collectibles, my point is some people (like
myself) aren't willing to spend about $2,200 on 110 scripts... it's too much
money!  I really do want these scripts, but it's too much.  Can't there be a
cheaper alternative?  If people want collectibles that's fine, but what about us
cheap skates?  How about releasing such a CD after you're done selling the scripts
online (which unfortunately will be what about nine years away?!).

Well, for one thing, we're not going to release all 110 scripts, only the
highlights and justifiable releases.  Grey 17 for instance will never be
released, it may only plan to escape....
