I really hope that we will see more portraits done in this style of famous Newbridgians. My money's on a full-size Zachary Brimstead, Esq.

I'm sure full size portraits of every Newbridge character hang proudly in the Mayor's Mansion.

I believe it was pushed back to 12pm and then Tom is going to sleep until Tuesday.

Yeah, it looks pretty great. I guess I'm going to have to try to pre-order after hours though because Numero's site appears to be getting slammed right now. Probably a good sign, though.

Hopefully the non-functioning website doesn't portend exorbitant ebay sellers.

EDIT: It's working now!!!

Took quite a while (even with my high speed connection at work), but I finally got the order in. And I found out that the Numero Group put out some soul/Latin music comps that I enjoy, so I think they'll be getting even more money from me!

First encountered Numero when I found the Guitar Soli double vinyl comp at my local record store. It really stood out because the packaging was so awesome and unique looking.  Classy, classy choice for this piece of history!
