I've had this backordered unsuccessfully for 2 months at Amazon. No online retailers seem to have it. Anyone seen it in person anywhere?

I saw it at my local comic shop about a month ago. I will check it out for you on the weekend.

I will find out how many they have in-stock and put it here on either Sat or Sun. Then if anyone wants it I can take order(s).

I apologize. The big comic shop in Canberra has run out of stock and they aren't sure if they are restocking. Tomorrow I will try to swing by the other comic shop in Canberra but its not looking good guys.

I wrote Jim Sorenson to see if he could provide any insight:

Hi, Jay. While there are persistant rumors that the book will be reprinted, I don't know of any shops that are currently selling any copies. Sorry about that.

Good luck!
Jim

Well that sucks :( I think other people have worked this out as well judging by the price some of these are going for on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-Animated-Allspark-Almanac-Vol-2-Tr-/330484073882?pt=US_Fiction_Books&hash=item4cf262c59a). Even the first volumn is fetching a ridiculous price.

Thats insane. I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't have this as it is an amazing read... although I do get upset everytime I read it. Why did they cancel Animated? They had groundwork established for more then just season 4 IMO:(

I know. It seems such a waste but obviously Hasbro wanted to move in a different direction with its toyline and while I love animated, the toyline has had heaps of QC issues. I think Hasbro made a very half-hearted effort with this great series.

Thanks Goodness, I failed to pick up the volume 1 of this and the prices it's going for at ebay is soooooo exorbitant!!

I bought my copy from Kinokuniya. If they're out of stock you can just tell them to do a custom order in for you. That's what I did with Transformers Henkei. :)

jaydisc

30th October 2010, 07:12 PM

The place they all order from is what is sold out.

Just noticed while ordering some other TFs books, both (http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9781600104879/Transformers-Animated) volumes (http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9781600106835/Transformers-Animated-Allspark-Almanac-v.-2) are in stock at bookdepository, in case anyone is still looking for them and none can be found locally or from another member here.
And volume one is on sale at the moment for a huge 4 cents discount...

I'd say that's a little on the high side, looks to me like 25 to 30 is what it can be purchased for. try eBay.

I got both Vol. 1 and 2 from Book Depository for about AUD$40+, so $36 both seems like a good price if you see it locally.
