Finally, I thought this would never get released. Well i might still get another delay.

pre-ordered this over a year ago too before it got cancelled.

Great price aswell.

Yeah, I am quite sure the whole thing is going to be on short stock on amazon. A good investment at a great price for sure.
Really looking forward to it.

Just got confirmation that mine is ready to be dispatched on Amazon.co.uk. Anyone else got confirmation?

Really? Mine still says the Dispatch Estimate is on wednesday 31st...

Well now that you mention it actually says "Preparing for Dispatch" usually when that happens it takes a day and it is shipped...btw, reading some stuff surrounding the release I think the lot is going to be very limited. I would say that those who pre ordered it a year ago will surly get a copy. But i see a delay for others...lets see...fingers crossed...please advice if anything has changed from your order. Really looking forward to this edition...

Mine doesn't even say "preparing for dispatch", it's still in "not yet dispatched" mode. And i've also been reading that people that pre-ordered from amazom.com are having their orders cancelled due to the limited quantities this supposedly has. I preordered on August 5th. How about you asiak?

I've seen some unboxings and it really looks amazing, wouldn't want to miss out

From the unboxings I saw, there's a signed "certificate" that says "Limited Edition of 1.000 copies". I guess this is for each region.

Edit: correction, limited to 1.000 worldwide.

No we are talking...I actually pre ordered it way back in mid year last year when it was cancelled...but than i received an email around August 2011 from Amazon that the release was scheduled for mid year 2012...and than again re scheduled for October...I think there is an issue with the original retailer since it is already an existing book and some rare lucky people have a copy already...the reason why it was cancelled is still something I wish i knew. The only doubt I have at the moment is if it is a first edition or if they re published a new one...any update on that would be great

"The book (actually books) in question were not published. If I remember correctly, it was discovered that the editor of the project did not provide the correct information to Diamond (our primary comics shop and bookstore distributor) regarding the set. The information most stores received was that it was a single volume for $130. Order for that particular "product" were so low we could not afford to print.

I believe it is being reworked so that it can be offered again. Again, I'll track down the current status of the book and let you know what I find out."

That was the reason for the delay and I remember amazon listing it again (correctly) but with softcover artbooks.

Softcover???

It says Hardcover on my pre order....please, please be it a hardcover...snif
