It’s been years on pre-in but I just got an email from Logos that the whole set is now in production!
and what is PG?
Point guard?
Paul George?
All167 volumes. The standard complete collection of the Greek fathers. It’s been in pre pub for years. Sorty for the brevity, I was just very excited.
Ah, that was my first thought but I didn't believe it could be ...
Point guard? Paul George?
Parental Guidance 😂 I knew what it was, but even at CP price it’s worthless for me. Maybe for academic people who write about it is good. I’ll probably get it included in some package in the future for less money as it has always been the case 😂

Interesting. It's still showing as "Almost funded" for me. But I'm not in on it. Maybe they've jumped the gun for those who have been in since CP.

Also interesting is the typo in every volume, which I've reported separately. [:)]
Maybe for academic people who write about it is good.
Migne deliberately produced a low cost every-pastor edition. Academics would need more recent critical editions. Part of its value is that it is the base for Schaff.
NB. It is showing as almost funded to me ... I suspect there was an intermediate state in converting it off community pricing.

I believe the "now in production" email was sent out in error by an automated system when the product was moved from CP to PP. As far as I know, it's not actually funded and is not in production. But I may be wrong, so please wait for an official status update from someone on the Product Team.
Bradley is correct, this email was sent in error. This is all a part of the process for retiring the Community Pricing program. Apologies for the confusion.
this email was sent in error.
But can I take it as a promise - like the advertising errors I read about stores honoring? [It doesn't hurt to try everything to get this through [;)]]

Maybe 'Almost Funded' is the new 'Gathering Interest' (a/k/a 'When Donkeys Fly').
If this is an error, it’s a big disappointment. They released the first volumes a few years back. I’ve been waiting for the rest. Come on Logos/Faithlife, pls make some progress. How about ten or twenty volumes a year. Something please.
Well, what do you know, I have 61 volumes!
Actually @DAL I think there are only 60 volumes currently. A search on "Patrologia" gives me some false matches - which you would probably see if you scroll down. Search on "Patrologiae Graeca" for the full set.
So why am I looking at a $529.95 price that's the prepub price but my price should be $250 like it was in community pricing and the email you all sent me?
I don’t know 🤷🏻♂️ they’re in Latin and I can’t fully understand it anyway 😩
And here I was thinking that PG meant "Probably Good". Shows what I know....
Or…or…Pure Gold 😂
Well, looking at its latest prepub status, looks like PG-Greek and PG-Latin are sliding into PP-Oblivia (a special Logosian world of lost books, similar to 'the shades'). Even Patrologiae Syriaca is doing better, but not good.
I think hopeless might be a good descriptor for the whole CP conversion.
But! Livy is holding on: Livy's History of Rome (28 vols.) unless, it too becomes (Logosian) history. Livy died when Jesus turned 21 (approx).
It's in pre-pub for $174.99, but I'm CPed in at only $30. It looks like it's working, but hard to find/follow/understand.[^o)]
Showing at $30 here: https://www.logos.com/account/prepubs

I think they're offering you $30 of nothing. At least in our collective lifetimes.
Shear speculation (and bad at that), but it seems the higher the CP funding, the lower the PP status! (Due to carrying over the CP bids). Sort of a kiss of death.
