New Releases...

[Pekos Revenge]

I'm just curious if anyone (maybe a Paizo employee) knows if they plan to release copies of the book again soon? I have the pdfs but really like hard copies and refuse to spend disgusting amounts on what's currently available.

Nope

No. They have a policy of not re-releasing hard copies once they're sold out. IIUC there are two reasons for this.

One, doing a small print run costs more (and is also a bit of a PITA). So, either they'd have to increase the cover price, or they'd make less money on each copy. Not attractive either way. And two, the market for selling hard copies is only so big. So if they keep reprinting the old stuff, that may take sales away from the new stuff. That's undesirable for various reasons.

They are keeping the .pdfs up for sale forever, so you can always get your hands on the material. Just, not in hard copy form.

So, takeaway: if you want a hard copy of something? Buy it now, because Paizo generally doesn't do reprints. Once it's out of print, it's gone.

To Paizo's credit, they do periodically (2-3 times per year) do a post on the store blog listing which items are sinking low in inventory: "Less than 1,000 left", "Less than 500 left", "Less than 100 left" and so forth. So if you're dithering whether to pick up a particular module, you can look up one of those posts and see if it's in danger of disappearing.
