The Art of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow SIGNED & LIMITED

[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.

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.

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

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??

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.
