Below is a cute note from the guy who came up with the idea, approached Hasbro, and was connected with Winning Solutions.
Hello Fellow Scrabble Enthusiasts! I HAVE SOME EXCITING NEWS!
Because of the ENORMOUS amount of requests I have received regarding the ScrabbleA-1 Designer Edition, Hasbro has teamed me up with one of their high end licensees:Winning Solutions, and we are proud to announce the release of the:
My goal throughout this project has been simple: to excite people about typography. It is because of this goal that we feel that the Typography Edition should be available for one and all to purchase. With this in mind, we will be releasing two variations of the ScrabbleTypography Edition. A $200 retail set will be available for purchase that will look almost identical to the Scrabble set on my website. Another $50 version will also be available that has a similar feel but in a different application. Both variations will be released with the same assorted font set. Additional fonts will be available for purchase after the initial release. Finally you will be able to play Scrabble using your favorite fonts!!!
Please note that the fact that we are going to production with this set, has a lot to do with your love and support. We have not only won over the hearts of the people of Hasbro, but I am sure we will continue to bring many closer to the art of Typography.
If you are a serious major buyer who has interest in either of these sets, please feel free to contact me at andrew.c.capener@gmail.com
Otherwise follow my blog at PolaroidsAndParagraphs.com to stay updated on the progress of the Scrabble Typography Edition. We will be releasing photos and other information regarding the set in the coming months. The $50 version of the ScrabbleTypography Edition is scheduled to be available for purchase early fall 2012, with the $200 deluxe version releasing shortly thereafter.
I can hardly wait.
