[mosavon]

Thanks vhal...i have been wanting a hardback of this...:D

[Matrix6]

Thanks V <3

Damn the shipping cost is ruthless, they won't give a discount if you order more than one copy! :S

lol yeah, but then again I told myself one Art of the Game book Folio Edition was enough for me...I shoulda ordered at least another :P [you know what i mean ;) ]

But still, shipping is pretty much costing as much as the book itself if you want tracking/insurance with it :S

[vhal_x]

I thought that too mos, but mine said item number 3 too :(

Not a problem guys! Thought yous would like it! xx

true, shall we get some more then? :drool:

[Matrix6]

I'm ordering two copies, since there are only 500 for the first wave, and the 2nd wave may not be signed perhaps?? I'm not bothering with the paperback format when I'm getting two hardbacks.

Thanks again V, we <3 Uncharted 4evah!

[mosavon]

I think im ok with 1 on this :bananayes:
My only concern is it will be shipped in a bubble envelope, so damage is pretty likely

[jugolicious]

thanks a lot vhal!

being an Uncharted fan is hurting a lot right now lol

[SquirrelRaper]

Yes, thank you!

[goonergaz]

Thanks for the heads up, glad I acted first and thought later - it's now sold out!

Has anyone got there's yet?

[vhal_x]

Nope, I'm not expecting it to arrive until after Christmas tbh, but if it does, then YAY! :haha: xx

[goonergaz]

Well it's not cheap shipping and my U3 CE took just a couple of days so fingers crossed :beer:

[vhal_x]

Suppose :) I'm hoping for a good number XD xx

[Matrix6]

Mine won't arrived until after New Year's, but I got two copies. One to keep sealed [or however it's packed], the other to drool on :drool:

[goonergaz]

are they numbered?

thinking about it, they should probably start arriving next week (1 week after purchase)

would have loved a spare but so skint at the moment...just glad to have got one :banana:

[Matrix6]

Apparently the first 500 books are signed and numbered by Nolan North himself! O_O

It is also possible to get a softcover variant from amazon.com

[goonergaz]

[nipperkipper]

Glad i ordered mine as well, in the world of collecting its definitely a case of 'order first, ask questions later'

yeah, learnt that the hard way!! :blackeye:

[RyuShinEX]

lucky I don't fancy signatures.

[Twisted]

did anybody see the picture of nolan north laying on top of all the books,..that right there for sure must have caused some damage to the top books at least, that's not cool..who wants somebody who weighs maybe 180bs to 200lbs putting all his body wieght on what are supposed to be collector pieces.

[jugolicious]

LOL, I guess that is the resulting of hand signing 500 books =D

[goonergaz]

fingers crossed I get the edition with a face-print on it! :spiteful:

Lol...good point hope im not getting a crushed one then but they would just say it happened during transit anyway

Also i dont fancy one from the bottom of the pile :D

[MortalMonday]

I don't like that they used the same cover image as the softcover version.

[joynulk]

Ah man i missed this, dont know how though

Wow you speak as if Nolan is doing something wrong here lol and no I very much doubt him lieing on a stack of 500 hard book books would create any damage!

who wants "somebody" ..... errmmmm his name is Nolan :clap:

[bbki]

Just a heads up
I got it yesterday
It got no seal, no number just sign by the man in the inner cover.
Also the pack is just tightly bubble wrap envelope.
So brace yourself a bit for international buyer.

Edit* So there is a number
I must be blind not to see it
Thanks for MM to point that out

[jugolicious]

Ouch, no seal is a bit disappointing.

But, poor packaging is a huge pain. I hope I won't have to send angry tweets to the man haha.

[vhal_x]

Not numbered!? xx

[Matrix6]

It's supposed to be numbered personally by Nolan himself!? :S

[bbki]

I skimming look at it and I might be wrong.

I'll make sure to look at it again tonight for number and let you know again.

But I really didn't see it.

[MortalMonday]

I just got mine. It is numbered. It's numbered on the upper left-hand corner of the cover page.

[goonergaz]

I don't recall that it was to be numbered - I was surprised when vhal said they were - I hope the delay in sending internationally is due to extra packaging :shrug:

[goonergaz]

woot (list your numbers people!! :barsong:)

[MortalMonday]

The way that they shipped them is definitely not cool. As has been mentioned, it was sent in a thin bubble envelope. I was very lucky that mine did not arrive badly damaged (though one of the corners did get a tad bit dinged), but I would not be surprised if a lot of these books end up getting severely damaged in transit. They should have started by placing it in the bubble envelope, then by placing it in a snug shipping box.

I actually messaged them about this (UN-answered i might add)....I specifically said charging this kind of high shipping price and NOT using a box wont go down well at all, i guess they just ignored this friendly advise

[bbki]

Just want to confirm that there is a number
so my bad that I didn't see it (mine is #106)

Also just want to mention that trade-paperback uncharted comic #1 in already release for a while and when I pick up my reserve today it's already sold out.
The regular paperback ver. (combine all 6) will be out next year

here's link to amazon for tpb #1

[SquirrelRaper]

Yeah...so I only got 2 of 3 that I ordered. Lets hope the other one comes.
2 of them weren't mine :/ if anyone else has this issue please tell me.

[vhal_x]

They weren't yours? How do you know ? xx

[SUPERHANDS1967]

Hope this comes soon!

[vhal_x]

Yeah, I'm betting on 6th January being the date we receive it XD xx

[vhal_x]

As soon as somebody from UK receives this, can they post and let everyone know?

I'd have expected mine to arrive first as I ordered before I listed this here, but obviously, it was the same day that most of us ordered so chances are they'll all come around the same time :P xx

[Ryaku]

i have received any Uncharted journal..... it's normal ? i ordered 2 of them :(

[vhal_x]

I've not received mine yet either Ryaku, they've not long been shipped out xx

[goonergaz]

yeah these were (apparently) to be shipped late the week before xmas so we'd be lucky to get them this week, I was hopeful but I think it's probably going to be 3/4th Jan

[vhal_x]

Yeah, I'm betting January 6th... Although I received an item from Sega, sent on the 20th of December from the US (I won a competition) and it arrived today :shrug: So who knows :D xx

[nipperkipper]

how many competitions do you win, you are one lucky girl

Whats the secret?, i never win anything

[mosavon]

Im not very happy with this GameSpheres

- Slow shipping especially of international orders

- Some members PAID for tracking and have'nt been provided with the tracking

- I personally have emailed them twice, both times un-answered. i know others had emails ignored too

- We know they are sending orders in envelopes despite charging high prices

Not very good

[vhal_x]

how many competitions do you win, you are one lucky girl

Whats the secret?, i never win anything

Not any secret, I just enter absolutely everything I see, even if I'm not bothered about the prize :) Means it ups my chances to win at least something :P (I won wrapping paper from Clinton Cards not too long ago :facepalm:) xx

[twistedsymphony]

Seeing as this isn't a game it doesn't really belong in the database and thus doesn't belong in additions/corrections.

*** Moving this to Game Collecting ***

[vhal_x]

Sorry :) xx

[SquirrelRaper]

They weren't yours? How do you know ? xx

Lol I didnt mean that those exact ones weren't mine but I did order 1 for myself and 2 for another person. XD

[vhal_x]

Mine arrived today :D number 318/500, and despite only being in a bubble envelope, it is mint condition :D xx

[goonergaz]

Mine arrived today :D number 318/500, and despite only being in a bubble envelope, it is mint condition :D xx

still waiting :shrug:

[nipperkipper]

Mine also arrived today, dented on every single corner

As did the Signed skyrim soundtrack from directsong which came delivered in the most flimsy jiffy bag i have ever seen - (i can take pics) came completely crushed

When will these companies learn

On a more positive note, at least my hyrule historia artbook came in perfect condition

[goonergaz]

the cost of shipping outside the US was outrageous - not very impressive at all

[jugolicious]

Damn, I have not received mine yet =(

I bought 2 with the tracking method. I never received an order confirmation, a shipping confirmation, or a tracking number which I paid for....

[mosavon]

Im not one to take this type of handling of an item too serious but i think Gamespheres are a joke....Not only did they ignore my emails, i got No confirmation of despatch and they even wrote my address wrong on the packet, mine also has a small ding in the right hand corner WOW bubble mailers for something like this, why Gamespheres?? You idiots

I got number 169/500

[SquirrelRaper]

I know right, what's wrong with these people?

Why wont they reply backkkk?!?!?! :pooryou:

Yeah, they pretty much suck :( And how come you got a number way lower than me, when I ordered first :( I thought they'd have at least given them out in order :( Meh xx

[goonergaz]

so who delieverd and what sort of time? I'm still waiting :pooryou:

[nipperkipper]

Yeah, they pretty much suck :( And how come you got a number way lower than me, when I ordered first :( I thought they'd have at least given them out in order :( Meh xx

I thought i ordered fairly early as well yet mine is in the 490's which makes no sense

so who delieverd and what sort of time? I'm still waiting :pooryou:

mine was delivered by parcelforce guy around midday

to be fair about the shipping price, the shipping sticker does say 37.90 dollars, but i would have been happy to pay a little extra if it meant shipping in a box

[mosavon]

Yeah, they pretty much suck :( And how come you got a number way lower than me, when I ordered first :( I thought they'd have at least given them out in order :( Meh xx

I dont know, but im still awaiting something numbered 1..never happens for me :sorry:
