I saw that they were "sold out" at Gamehole Con, but, I'm hoping that just pertained to the supply at the con and that they are still transmutable by mail for another month.
I was told at the convention that they were sold out, and there would be no more. They also seem to have disappeared from the order transmutation list on the website, so it looks like they have indeed gone the way of the dodo.
Wow, that really sucks, and I think something should be done in this specific case.
So, as someone who only transmutes in person (yes, I know this is a privilege and I don't expect special accommodations, just let me set the stage), I have had components ready for a +3 holy avenger for about 2 years now. I was waiting for an in person opportunity to transmute and never would have expected my chance to expire BEFORE the posted expiration date. But if it had happened to me, I would be a annoyed and inconvenienced, but at least I could sell the components and buy the relic I wanted.
BUT, for the bead of the lucky traveler, if you do that, you will lose at least $50. The additional value of all those components dropped with the expiration of the transmute.
I suggest a substitute; you can convert those 18 monster bits and bead of firehold into THREE golden fleece (until dec 1), as compensation for the lack of bead of lucky traveler. At least then, anyone planning a last minute transmute can get comparable value out of it.
And to reiterate, this is a special case for this one transmute because of the severe loss of value for those wanting to transmute, and this should not be seen as a blanket expectation for future transmutes that run out.
