The Art of Watch Dogs Limited Edition Signed Hardback

[Redmagster]

Another Titan Books Special

Signed and with exclusive art print

The Art of Watch_Dogs is the definitive gallery of the world of Aiden Pearce. Sketches, concept art, and behind the scenes commentary from the artists bring to life a vision of Chicago controlled by cTOS and inhabited by hackers, criminals, and underground gangs.

Watch_Dogs? Chicago is realised in astonishingly gritty detail. Explore the city from the rich and opulent Mad Mile to the dangerous streets of The Wards and the junkyards of Pawnee. But the cTOS network is not the only thing Aiden has to watch out for, all the way from the notorious hacker Defalt to the upper echelons of local government, nobody in Watch_Dogs is what they seem.

Comes with 291 x 218 art print, signed by concept artist John Bigorgne.

Limited to 500 copies world wide.

I love the quality of these nooks and the art print looks really good with this one

[KnightOfTruth]

Thanks for sharing! This is definitely the game that I'm most excited for this year! If I can, I'll probably actually play it on/near release date ;) I really like that litho, but the coloring on the outer box case seems weird. I mean, none of the other promo material or anything has red like that in it. I just wonder why they decided to go with that rather than stick with the color themes represented by, well.... everything?

[Redmagster]

It does seem a strange choice... There have been a few wallpapers and promo shots with an element of 'red vision' used but it's hardly been a key part of the pre launch trailers etc... :think:

I'm also really looking forward to this one - in a lot of ways I've been glad of the delay :)

[Ayiu]

*sigh* Thanks Mags for giving us another reason to spend money *sigh*

[CheapAssassin]

Gosh.. I have been overspending...!

[SwiftDeath]

Thanks for the info Maggie moo :)

That is certainly one color choice for the outside of a art book :scratch:

[Ayiu]

I like the red color :beee:

[CheapAssassin]

Lol.. I love the red color.. tho at first I thought i was looking at Wolfenstein art book instead.

Just check titan US website, still havent been posted up there yet.

[Romeo]

Two months away... ugh. I hope Titan sells this at their lower end of $60 instead of $75 since it only comes with one litho.

[Dr_Jengo]

Ok... More things to spend on..

But these books are incredible. I was really amazed by the quality of the AC IV version.

[tsquared44]

Note to all who proceed to purchase this. I as well, purchased the Titanfall book around 3 days after it was put on this website. It said i paid and that it wasn't sold out. The book did not come and the website cancelled my order. Hate to say it but its an unreliable place to buy something. (Personal opinion). So dont get your hopes up. It might be sold out already as you place your preorder.

[Redmagster]

I have never had a problem with order fulfilment from Forbidden but others may have had different experiences?

Titanfall is still available to purchase - do you have one in the end?

[tsquared44]

Unfortunately no. It says you can buy it but if you proceed with the inquiry, its says sold out.

[Dr_Jengo]

Still no sign of this at Titan Books website?

[tsquared44]

Maybe they actually did things right this time and took it off pre-order when the quantity hit 0. I was one of the first to preorder the titanfall book and they cancelled it, i was so pissed.

[KnightOfTruth]

Yeah - hopefully they just shut it down after HALF of them were reserved and they'll open it up again for the other half since I didn't get to pre-order one yet :'(

Watchdogs is still the #1 "next-gen" game I've been anticipating. Really loving the extra stuff they've been releasing too... now just need the money to get some of it!

[Dr_Jengo]

Are you all talking about Forbidden Planet or TitanBooks' site?

[StayFree( ' 3')]

I'm assuming he's referring to TitanBooks' site as it's still available on Forbidden Planet.

Still crossing my fingers my order comes through.

[CheapAssassin]

Huh? You mean you have ordered the artbook from Titanbook site?? I have been watching it for months it just never showed up? Or did I miss it??

[StayFree( ' 3')]

Huh? You mean you have ordered the artbook from Titanbook site?? I have been watching it for months it just never showed up? Or did I miss it??

oh no, I preordered it on Forbidden Planet. I just assumed it already sold out at TB. Was it never posted on their site??

[CheapAssassin]

oh no, I preordered it on Forbidden Planet. I just assumed it already sold out at TB. Was it never posted on their site??

:think: Unless TB website posted it since mid last year.. otherwise I dont think i have ever seen it on their website.. I wonder if I should pre order it from Forbidden PLanet now.. shipping aint cheap across the pond

[Dr_Jengo]

Ever since this thread started, I have been checking TB's site regularly and never saw it. Unless like jonkhor86 said, it went up for sale way before that and is now sold out.

If it is, I would think the listing would still be up, only that it says sold out.

So yea, I'm thinking if I should order from Forbidden Planet or wait for TB?

[StayFree( ' 3')]

I found the best place to order one.

:taunt:

I would definitely preorder from forbidden just in case since they don't charge you a dime before it's released. They didn't even quote me for shipping when my order was placed.

Haha!

I'll order from Forbidden then :) Never ordered anything from them before. Hope they don't slaughter me with shipping..

[Redmagster]

If anyone wants me to check shipping costs for them I'm happy to forward if it saves anyone money?

Forbidden Planet do pack these books really really well :thumb:

Check shipping as in how much it will cost for you to send us?

[Redmagster]

Yes if it helps - I have no idea what FP's charges are like for International shipping but happy to do a comparison to see if it saves you money? :)

[Dr_Jengo]

Sure, that will be great. Do let me know how much shipping is to Singapore

[KnightOfTruth]

Anybody know what shipping to the US would be for this from FB? (on average)?

[LyricalOne]

Wow after reading through for a second I thought I might of actually missed it on TB lol

[StayFree( ' 3')]

This is projected to be released in less than a week and yet it's still not available to preorder on the TitanBooks site?

[Dr_Jengo]

Exactly, maybe they won't be getting it? Just hope the FP order goes through without any issues..

[Dr_Jengo]

Still don't see my card being charged for this..

[killjoymeg]

did you pay with paypal or card?

[Dr_Jengo]

Card

[killjoymeg]

Card

I did as well and it has just been changed to charge on the fp page, maybe it is taking a while?

[ingmar1988]

im still waiting as well (paid with card)

[Dr_Jengo]

Just got this mail from ForbiddenPlanet...

----- 2980966 The Art Of Watch Dogs (Limited Edition Hardback) - SIGNED x 1 (Queried - International Shipping – Awaiting confirmation)


The shipping charge for your entire order will be GBP £ 88.00

The total of your entire order including the shipping rate will be GBP £ 138.00

:nosleep: GBP £ 88.00 for shipping alone????

[killjoymeg]

Just got this mail from ForbiddenPlanet...



:nosleep: GBP £ 88.00 for shipping alone????

Considering i got the ac iv one shipped from america for less than 50 dollars i say rip!

[StayFree( ' 3')]

$75 to be shipped to the US :suicide:

[Dr_Jengo]

Makes me more pissed that TitanBooks (US) didn't have this item for sale. It would have been a lot more cheaper. Guess I have to pick this one up from eBay or see if anyone can help me ship it over, hopefully for a much more reasonable price.

[Dr_Jengo]

Anyone received this? How much would it cost to ship one to Singapore? I'm thinking of asking for help from a UK member to forward this to me.

[KnightOfTruth]

Yeah, was never able to get one for myself either :( Was hoping they'd turn up but alas!

[Ayiu]

Can't give you an UK quote but shipping from Germany would be either 17.90 euro (up to 2kg) or 41.99 euro (up to 5kg) Just to give you an estimate :thumb:

[Redmagster]

:nosleep: GBP £ 88.00 for shipping alone????

That's crazy.... I just checked rough estimate (mine hasn't arrived yet but these limited artbooks are pretty standard size and weight) and by Royal Mail would be around £29 airmail tracked and via 3 day courier around £36....

I checked and i was quoted about £60, it comes in a massive box (or mine did anyway)

[Redmagster]

I thought it might but presumably more shallow box inside and they are so well protected could prob downsize the outer box??

[ingmar1988]

the box was really big and well protected. If send with less protection it would fit a mailbox i think.

[CaptainSeifer]

That's a really generous offer! Just out of interest, would you be able to check how much it would cost to ship one to Australia (Postcode: 7008) if you took most of the excess packaging off it?

[Redmagster]

Hi there

Just on the case with this now so will happily check :)

The books actually come very well packed in a folded card outer that protects the book. They weigh 1720g in this box. It could be bubble wrapped as it is and then wrapped in brown paper which would keep it under 2kg or I also have slim packing boxes that the bubble wrapped boxed book could be shipped in as an additional protective layer prob taking it just over 2kg - depends how important the brown book box is to you as the corners may get bumped on a long journey with the first packaging but the book should be ok inside

Let me know your preference and I'll price up :)

Thanks so much for that :D

Yeah I've seen the card outer before and really like that method, my Halo: The Art of Building Worlds limited edition was shipped from the UK in one too and it did a great job of protecting the book!! I think I'll go with that first option you suggested, as it seems like a good mix of protection and minimizing cost :)

The quote I got from Forbidden Planet was 38 GBP per book, which seems sort a high considering my Halo book (same dimensions, format and weight) only cost 10 GBP to ship!

Mad isn't it?!?

And damn you Meg for blowing my cover... I was waiting til the book and shipping were paid before mentioning the 'optional' extras.... ;)

[LyricalOne]

I really want it, but at the same time I'm glad it wasn't offered here lol.

I have not bought a Titanbook yet, but I told myself if I ended up buying Watchdogs, I would go ahead and try to buy the majority of the ones they have released that interest me (like AC, Castlevania, etc)

So I guess I dodged a bullet lol :whew:

[CaptainSeifer]

Here you go - I'll put it here rather than pm as others may wish to get an idea

Fantastic those prices sound much better than FB! I might PM you to organise the forwarding in about a week or two if I decide to buy one if that's okay with you :)

Hahaha I think I could live with that :P Yeah I know what you mean, its usually a lot easier to get things from the US to Australia so its really annoying that they didn't sell it in the US!!

Normally i'd say yes you have, but titan books are amazing quality, and the detail they put into their editions is worth the price in my opinion. Especially the AC IV and watch dogs art books

[Redmagster]

They are lovely Lyrical... Lovely... Everything Meg says and more...

Beautiful, gorgeous, well made, stunning art, great quality..

Buy buy buy... Mwah ha ha ha ha....

Oh the drama man...just get one already lol

I also want one and if you'll hurry up and bite maybe we can split shipping again, if mags doesn't mind helping me out with one.

Jorge.. Quit being hesitant.. Im in too. Actually in talk with Mag and gonna get one soon, just a matter of time before its being sold out.. Like Titanfall :p

[Redmagster]

Looks like there's an opportunity for a US GB here....

It's got to be better to ship a bigger bundle then break it out over there so shout now or forever hold your piece.... Errrr I mean... Peace......

Oh damn.... I want one o.o

Haha sorry I've been a bit MIA from the forums. But I'll leave my reasons to the random thoughts thread :P

Apparently Titan Books will be releasing another "limited edition" version of this at San Diego Comic Con this week.

I'm assuming the only difference is the signed variant slipcover?
