Seems like they have spare artbooks and made another edition with it :(

They did the same with ACIV art book and the ACIV limited artbook. They're exactly the same just a nice art book holder a dusk jacket and.., TA-DA!!! It's limited now ;)

But I'm probably still going to buy it :(

[ceaddiction1228]

Well this one will be signed at least. . Were the acIV ones also signed?

Pretty sure just the concept art is signed not the artbook itself. That would be the same as the ACIV limited edition art book

It looks cool, it's actually limited and it has the nice signed lithographs so I'm cool with it. Although price for all the titan artbooks should be $60, some are $75 ugh

60 i can justify, anything above that price... idk. :(

maybe if the book is actually signed by the artist or the dev team.

and it had some nice goodies inside but still :(

i'm a cheap ass lol

Is this available only on forbidden planet?

it is but shipping will cost more just wait a bit mate, it will be available soon :beer:

[toxicatom5]

Yes, they always put on amazon eventually. If you look, all of their previous LE's are still available too!

Exactly. I own five of these LE books. Both AC, both Halo, and Dead Space. They are fantastic, though the fact is they just don't sell at the prices asked.

Yep good quality books and all that but they get expensive quick. Some run $75 USD instead of $60 and that's certainly too much :(

[underfox]

I was one of the first to pre order and...... they canceled it. I swear I hate this company, they did the exact same thing with my limited edition assassin's creed 4 artbook.

I'm so pissed off, hate mail incoming

[Ryaku]

someone have his order shipped ?

[Matt16]

someone have his order shipped ?

Not yet

[Ryaku]

i've the same thing for my my order :/

[CheapAssassin]

I ordered from Amazon.com and mine is shipped. Together with my Titanfall artbook.

Where did you guys order it from?

[Ryaku]

i spoke about signed edition on forbidden planet not the standard version.

[CheapAssassin]

iim talking about CE not standard edition.

[Ryaku]

hummm...

is it signed ?

[CheapAssassin]

Its basically the same as the one presented in Forbidden Planet.. The one in forbidden planet you will get your art print signed.. the one sold in Amazon.com also will include the same art print signed by mercury team.

For US buyers.. go to this link http://titanbooks.com/the-art-of-castlevania-lords-of-shadow-limited-edition-7417/ , and choose Region USA.. when click buy, it will direct you to Amazon.com

im not sure if the one in Amazon will ship world wide tho..

[Ryaku]

ok, then i don't know why Forbbiden PLanet didn't shipped yet his signed edition..

Unwrapped my Castlevania.. as usual Titan Publishing did a great job. And love the print that was signed by the Team.

Will post some pictures after I got home today from work

PS Both these books still can be bought at Amazon.com.. and I believe it is the same book as the one shown in Forbiddenplanet

Yes, I will ask them if that's possible.

[canuckcollector]

And that's disappointing.

Unfortunately we can't alter an international delivery address on an order - would you like to go ahead still?

[Dan]

crazy it's 75GBP

But for the US it's 66 USD shipped :X

And find something to send your way lol!! :)

Really no problem either way though :) :thumb:

I preordered it straight away as I thought it would probably sell out but I'm not too bothered about it now after deciding to cancel my Tomb Edition preorder. I would rather it go to someone who will appreciate it :thumb:

Will check out the condition when it arrives but I'm sure it will be perfect if they send it the same way as my Titanfall book (a box about 15x the size of the book lol)

[Likey]

Hi guys,

I received by first either LE from Titan/Forbidden Planet and I'm impressed with it, I got the Titanfall LE artbook.

Does anyone else have a spare Castlevania LE artbook and from the UK? :)

Thanks in advance.

[Romeo]

I am curious to ask this... why all the hype with this specific book?

I own five different Titan LE books, both Assassin's Creed, both Halo, and Dead Space 3. They are really well put together pieces, and I truly appreciate the signed artwork inside.

That being said, even though these are always 'limited to 500', they have NEVER once sold out. I can go back and buy any one today, including ones from 2-3 years ago.

As I said, these are great pieces, but the market is way too niche and the price is too high for some, so they simply just don't sell.

[Redmagster]

Exactly what I thought and why I didn't order at the time... then it sold out. To be fair so did the ACIV...

This is not a new release for LOTS2 so in that respect it is kind of 250 per main release so this recent launch seems to have finally mopped up the remainder. Castlevania certainly has its fanbase and the imagery is a lot to do with it - maybe why with this one??

[tonybsg]

If anyone wants this (or any other that is listed on amazon.com from titan books I suppose and is unavailable from forbiddenplanet - titanbooks through amazon.com dont ship internationally) I can provide them with a direct mail from a titan books representative that can send the books directly to them (with paypal payment).

I haven't received mine yet, but I went through with that option.

The problem is that it's difficult for EU fans to obtain some of these.

These are being sold initially only via forbiddenplanet.

If they don't sell out from preorders, then some of them are being sold directly by titanexclusives online shop.

Problem is, that forbidden planet has outrageous shipping costs! 35GBP for Greece. Titanexclusives are a lot less*.

Then, when the EU stock is sold out, despite the fact that US stock is still available, we cannot obtain them from any EU retailer!

*edit: Not anymore as it seems :(

[Ayiu]

Shipping was 'only' ?18 gbp for me. It should arrive this Friday :)

[Ryaku]

Same for Me Shipping Only 18 Gbp .... and arrive on Friday ^^

[tonybsg]

Sorry mates, should have checked my facts better regarding shipping from forbidden planet to other EU countries!

It is strange though that from titanexclusives are only 5GBP*!

*edit: Correction, note anymore

[Likey]

5 GBP for shipping from the US to the EU/UK? If so, I'll place an order for the rest of the exclusive artbooks.

I'm talking about titanexclusives (http://titanexclusives.myshopify.com/) which is UK based I think.

But unfortunately, they probably raised up the shipping costs there as well as i can see now, it costs 20GBP to ship to Greece (it was 5GBP when I bought another exclusive a while back). :(

So from what I gather, this is the one instance where being in the US is beneficial... for Titan LE books? Red stated some are 'sold out', yet I can go buy any LE book right now from Titan, AC3, the first Halo, AC IV... and so on. Every LE book from many years ago to today is fully available.

[CheapAssassin]

For some reason US still have stocks for all their LE art books. Either us americans dont like art books that much or europeans are too crazy about them. 500 for world wide shouldnt be too hard to sell..

[Ayiu]

Received mine today. Packaging was superb.

Thanx Romeo!!! I have my CE guides on a separate self.

They are the artbooks released from Treehouse Brand Stores for EA, they were limited to 1000. I'm sure there is a thread somewhere around here.

Problem is, I can't find at all the Dead Space store to show you. It should be here http://gear.ea.com/ :scratch:

I keep an eye on the other limited DS artbook from Titan, maybe I'll get it one day!

I didn't know the Dead Space treehouse books were made from Titan too. So Titan makes three different Dead Space art books? I have the Titan LE version of 500.

Should I definitely get this seeing as I now have a second chance?

The only one I have is the Titanfall one but love the packaging and it's nice to get signed stuff too.

What other ones are there? Halo 4, AC3, AC4? Is Thief sold out?

There are numerous game LE books from Titan. None have ever sold out to date. Two Halo, two Assassin's Creed, Dead Space, Battlefield, Titanfall, Thief, and Castlevania off the top of my head.

Full list of every Titan LE book: http://titanbooks.com/limited-editions/
