[quote name='hecaitomix']i have a dedicated shelf for them :D[/QUOTE]
Yeah I would need one if I had spent that grand on regular art books. I got #4 of something like 125 iworldwide so I think it went well. As long as the price shoot up in the future.

Although I was tempted to sell it for that limited edition reprint of the Enterprise-D painting that was in Picards ready room I saw for sale. They only made a small batch of those also.
 
[quote name='technicalstylez']amazon listed -the art of last of us- for those of u like myself that were only getting the ce for the artbook.

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but I was looking at my preorders on amazon, and I have both The Art Of Last Of Us book pre-ordered AND The Last Of Us Survival Edition pre-ordered. Are the artbooks one and the same, can I go ahead and cancel my Artbook Pre-Order if I'm already getting the same one in the Survival Edition?

Yeah - it should be the same book.
 
Amazon just let me know that my Hyrule Historia Limited Edition won't ship now until mid-March! Anybody else get this email today? (FYI - my order was placed on 11/25)

I fear that perhaps this will be like the The Sky: Final Fantasy fiasco all over again.... :/
 
[quote name='RainFall']If they're saying it won't be until March, i'd assume it's not coming.[/QUOTE]

Ya. It sounds like they're hoping some additional ones will be printed with the regular hyrule historia reprint. Can't see that happening as dark horse might have some very angry fans if they did that.
 
Got my dead Space artbook today. I wish Amazon packaged my Hyrule the way they did with DS - Shrinkwrapped to a piece of cardboard that fit the box exactly. Looks perfect.
 
Anybody know what's up with The Art of Dead Space, Limited Edition?

Note this is not the same as the Clamshell Edition. There's a picture of it inside the Dead Space Liberation comic; it's blue and says it comes with a lithograph. I've searched by ISBN but can't find it anywhere. Kind of strange...

Comes out in March, direct from Titan.
 
Just received my LE Sonic from pix'n love...it is a beautiful edition! #234 It came in a simple book box but bubble wrapped and set in the box perfectly...pristine!

Agreed, it's a beautiful book. It is very prone to noticing even the smallest marks from an fingernail tho. Be careful. They packed these very well and all corners came super sharp!

Definitely! Now I'm thinking about ordering DMC from them or the Mario one.:applause:

Seeing DMC for the first time now, do you know if it's a hardcover? If so I must have it!!

Don't know. But seeing that it is also a LE of 666 I need it!:drool:

That DMC one looks awesome! I am in for one right now seeing as how it's LE of 666! :bouncy:
 
That DMC book looks pretty sweet. Do they just put an authorization hold when you place an order or do they charge right away?

I assume the book is going to be in English too....

Not sure, but I do have the full amount pending in my CC account right after placing the order.
 
Might have to order the Sonic History - looks pretty neat. Just found an extra Art of Diablo hardcover sitting around too, nice surprise.
 
Just a heads up to those thinking of ordering the DMC artbook - I was in fact fully charged on my CC even though it's a preorder.
 
I'm really curious about the Art of Blizzard Entertainment, but I have (excluding Starcraft: HOTS) all of their collectors edition art books. Does anyone know if they just combine pages from those different books into one?

According to this review, it's a mix of old and new content.

Hi sorry, I looked throughout this entire thread and couldn't find this DMC art book. It's it no longer available, where's it from, got a link?

When did you order this book? I ordered it earlier this month and it shipped on February 4th but I still didn't receive it yet. Hmmm.
 
[quote name='Pookymeister']Just ordered the Sonic book - had some Amazon credit leftover that was calling my name[/QUOTE]


The real one (numbered hardcover) or the generic one?
 
[quote name='TheOpusFuller']When did you order this book? I ordered it earlier this month and it shipped on February 4th but I still didn't receive it yet. Hmmm.[/QUOTE]

I ordered one for a friend and had it shipped to his address. It arrived Saturday. I think I ordered late Jan and shipped either Feb 4/6. I don't recall receiving any tracking. He's maybe 15-20 miles out from the city.
 
[quote name='shakespeare']Just received my LE Sonic from pix'n love...it is a beautiful edition! #234 It came in a simple book box but bubble wrapped and set in the box perfectly...pristine![/QUOTE]

How long did it take for you to get it from the ship date? Mine still hasn't come yet.
 
I got a Sonic #'d wholesale from pix for $30+ship, but it took damage in shipping to the spine. Nothing major, but it's imperfect. If anyone wants it for that much lower than retail (I'd want somewhere around cost of 30 as retail is (50+6-10 USD) to get to USA, PM me.
