Transformers Legacy: A Celebration of Transformers Package Art

[5FDP]

New listing over on Amazon for a book entitled "Transformers Legacy: A Celebration of Transformers Package Art". I am a huge fan of box art so I'm going to be all over this when it comes out in May 2014

It's being published by IDW and I'd wager that it's in collaboration with Botch

We've discussed this before, but it's been a long time since an update.

It's coming from Jim Sorenson (who was behind the two Ark books and the two Animated Almanac books) and

In the comments of Jim's blog post on the subject he mentions he's been in contact with botch already.

And Botch discussed it too.

Preordered

Jim has made a few posts on TFW about it. It still hasn't been finalised yet.

Huh, I never knew Botches site even existed.

I can see there is a definite difference here, one being high quality print for a library the other being an online resource.

I wonder if any of the scans I made for Jim ever made the cut? by the way he's talking in the tfw thread, it doesn't look like it.

I'll have look into other online stores. i dont fancy something of this nature arriving in good condition based on Amazon's poor packaging.

Yeah my latest amazon order turned up with Thundercrackers backing card all bent. It's why I'm thinking of ordering 'The Covenant of Primus' book through thebookdepoistry, even though AMazon already has it in. Ironically it is $30 more from thebookdeposity, but the postage from Amazon is exactly $30 anyway


I hope this box art book comes with full page pics of the backing box art, they had some great ones over the years

Forgot about that topic. I even posted in it too Like I said, I'm going to be all over this so I probably got a bit excited when I saw the updated news with Amazon listing

I didn't have much luck with Transformers Vault from The Book Depository. The corners were all squashed in the thin cardboard envelope they shipped it in. Probably would have asked for an exchange but this wasn't the first time so any replacement could have turned up the same. Luckily, I bought a second copy when they showed up locally at Target stores

While I have this on pre-order, I didn't receive any updates via email or any other notification, but this was supposed to be released on May 13th 2014.

I've checked the Amazon page and now it looks like being published on June 24th 2014. I hope this doesn't lead to a string of delays.

[UltraMarginal]

I talked to Jim Sorenson by email the other day and I got the impression the book was doing a final pass through Hasbro for approval, hopefully without many if any final changes.

Thats good news! I'm really looking forward to this one being released!
