Roman it won't be until the third week of August but they should at least tease some stuff to get the hype back up.

A good tease might be show a room full of shipping tubes and a couple piles of prints.

This.

Aside from filling all the delinquent orders, the two steps to revitalizing any manner of faith in OCE are:
1.) Making sure the first release after this clusterfuck of a PR debacle is absolutely AMAZING.
2.) Clearly showing people that the prints are in hand, everything is ready to ship, and that everything about the print absolutely top notch. At this point, there's no room for error.

Of course, any conjecture is predicated on there actually being another OCE release at all.

How about also adding.. don't make promises that can't be kept. OCE should just not say anything at all, not even about an 'august comeback' because there's always a possibility that it wont happen. Instead of laying out expectations, try creating no expectations and then delivering something tangible.

I hope OCE gets it turned around.

I sure like the idea of getting a poster within days/weeks of placing an order.

Everyone would probably praise OCE if they announced they were releasing LD's Oldboy print.....and if they showed pics of it already printed.

No. They won't.
