My .co.uk is Dispatching now. .com is not moving so I've cancelled that (before I forget).
Has anyone in America got this or is this some odd thing where the European distribution arrived much earlier.
Go on Peagles do it! Open it up. You know you want to.
Joking aside here's some pics of what the 'slipcover' looks like and to gauge its build quality.

Mine has just been dispatched from Amazon.co.uk. Prettty exciting!
Is this release also going to be limited?

man... after seeing this thread. I really want this. gah. someone hold me back.
there's no difference between the amazon.co.uk and amazon.com right?
other than UK shipping it out earlier.
and yea.. the first print.. seems no different from the above pic (but that amano book)
I'd imagine it was printed in China. That aside the lower shipping cost might be due to your local "fulfilment center" amazon.co.jp having some copies in (I'd imagine reverse importing to occur considering the book has been out of print there for a decade and IIRC, held a price higher than the limited edition).Internatinoal buyer PSA: Amazon.com is shipping mine to Japan for a mere $5.98.
I wonder if this is being published in Asia to begin with. I can't see any other reason why this behemoth would cost less than the standard $12.50 international shipping that they charge even for little paperbacks.
I'm not opening mine until I get a reading copy (or until it's clear I won't be getting a second copy for reading), but it is pretty much a big box like the first print.
Edit: And yes it's all nice and fabric-y too like the original!
hmm how I wished I spent and preordered the first print :/
I hate all of you that have gotten yours
Please DarkHorse & Amazon. Please don't let me down.
I've never seen some of the art from Final Fantasy 3, shame that it seems like some never made it into the game. Also makes me want a new action game or RPG with Amano doing more than just the logo art or promo stuff.
FFXIV has some of his monster designs down-pat though.
So people are already getting it? Is Amazon.com just being slow with it or what? Still says it doesn't come out till the 6th.
Same. Any modern game that used his art would be very unique.

Saw it in Barnes & Noble today. Was tempted. But not for $90. I may grab it from Instocktrades.com for $49, though.
Thanks!
Never ordered from them before. Pretty reliable?
They ship via US Mail it seems, though. I'd prefer UPS or FEDEX. :/
They're great. I've been getting the vast majority of my graphic novels from them for years. They pack their shipments very well, and shipping is free over $50. Otherwise it's a flat $4.
how long does the shipping usually take
My order hasn't entered shipping phase yet, though.
Sorry, I was about to ask the same thing. You seem to always enter a topic the second I'm about it. A "pre-emptive strike", if you will.Are you stalking me or something? You seem to frequent the same threads I do.
/nodGreat minds, etc. etc.
I actually have Amano prints book from like 10 years ago. Mint condition. It includes most of the 8 and 16 bit eras and some of the PSX stuff. Before the series got polluted by anime cliches and designs.
I would consider selling my car for this.
They charged my card. Shipping soon."In Stock" at amazon.ca:
