And find something to send your way lol!!

Really no problem either way though

I preordered it straight away as I thought it would probably sell out but I'm not too bothered about it now after deciding to cancel my Tomb Edition preorder. I would rather it go to someone who will appreciate it

Will check out the condition when it arrives but I'm sure it will be perfect if they send it the same way as my Titanfall book (a box about 15x the size of the book lol)

Hi guys,

I received by first either LE from Titan/Forbidden Planet and I'm impressed with it, I got the Titanfall LE artbook.

Does anyone else have a spare Castlevania LE artbook and from the UK?

Thanks in advance.

I am curious to ask this... why all the hype with this specific book?

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.

Exactly what I thought and why I didn't order at the time... then it sold out. To be fair so did the ACIV...

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??

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.

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

Shipping was 'only' ?18 gbp for me. It should arrive this Friday

Ryaku · #77 03-12-2014, 09:53 PM

Same for Me Shipping Only 18 Gbp .... and arrive on Friday ^^

tonybsg · #78 03-12-2014, 09:55 PM

Sorry mates, should have checked my facts better regarding shipping from forbidden planet to other EU countries!

It is strange though that from titanexclusives are only 5GBP*!

*edit: Correction, note anymore

Likey · #79 03-12-2014, 11:56 PM

5 GBP for shipping from the US to the EU/UK? If so, I'll place an order for the rest of the exclusive artbooks.

I'm talking about titanexclusives which is UK based I think.

But unfortunately, they probably raised up the shipping costs there as well as i can see now, it costs 20GBP to ship to Greece (it was 5GBP when I bought another exclusive a while back).
