Thank you for the link
But that really is NOT proof that it is limited or despatched that way
Forbiddenplanet.com is the website for the UK chain store (and they ship internationally)
Forbidden planet.co.UK is the website for the international arm of the company (and they ship internationally too)
Also titan exclusives (titan.exclusives.com) are the puvlblisher of this book and they supply both forbidden planet.co.UK and .com
And all three ship internationally yet are UK based (I think titan exclusives are, as when I brought from them; my book came from the UK)
So it could just be that forbidden planet.com have only been allowed to have 130 of the 500 stock

And we all know not to trust an item description for accurate information (right?)

Uh lily I agreed with blockbuster prior to this that it's most likely 500 worldwide

So not really sure what we're talking about here as that's clearly the general thought on it

I'm talking about the limited to 130 for the UK
What rubbish is that about
There are enough supplier that will ship to the UK from other countries and the book depository: a website that a lot of NON UK people use, is part of the UK so it is not smart to say limited to 130 in the UK as most of those will be headed to other countries,
And seeing as they won't be numbered; its just a marketing persons idea of trying to make them sell faster, the same way all marketing people lie to make you buy thelat product then and there; and that is the sole reason I prefer to shop online, as there is no person selling me a pack of lies with a "limited" time offer

Waiting for the book to become available in titanexclusives, the shipping costs from forbiddenplanet are rediculous!

Yeah, it's cheaper. The shipping on titan costed me 6 Pounds when I bought the AC III Limited Edition Artbook last week. So, I hope it will be the same when it comes up at Titan :-)
