A few further items (baseball caps/shirts/pitbull remixes) are available at the above link for the store. I have contacted The Estate again and asked them what the hell is going on. It's clear that the community is NOT happy thus far, and I must say - I do agree with them. This is a monumental anniversary for a legendary album. If as much work has gone into the production of the content as this album cover, then we're in for a bumpy ride. MJ deserves more.

What's Our View?
