Transformers A Visual Hiistory - Art book by Jim Sorenson

I got an email from the book depository on the 31st of October saying that the book had been released and was on it's way to their warehouse. That they would notify me when it was on it's way.

A good thing as I'd forgotten that I'd actually ordered it and was close to ordering it from Amazon AU, the current listing was a little cheaper, they had some sort of free shipping deal on the book that made it more attractive.

Yeah, I got the same notification... Then on Saturday I got an email that it was cancelled... yet the listing is still up - and cheaper too now, at $59.48. My preorder was at $62.65. May have to simply reorder it

Edit: Placing an order with Amazon AU - don't want to miss out, plus it's a few $$$ cheaper

It's a shame that Amazon Australia has a release date of December 10th, so to save a few dollars, you need to wait an extra month.

This is the response I got from Book Depository:
"I'm very sorry, it appears one of our suppliers provided information to us that they were able to supply this, hence the 'pre-order is in' email, but were then not able to provide it and the system automatically cancelled the order due to lack of stock. However, it was then made available to us again from an alternative supplier. You are welcome to place a new order for this title." ... unbelievable

To be honest I don't mind waiting... good Xmas present if it arrives on time.

Totally forgot I had this pre-ordered. Amazon US took $109 out of my card and I ran to my pre-orders to see what it was. I had a quick look on YouTube. It?s not bad but not for me. It?s pretty expensive for a book. Damn Aussie dollar and GST. Luckily it was still in the preparing for shipment phase and they were able to cancel.

Does anyone know what the 5 frame-ready prints look like that come with the limited edition version? I'm not shelling out an extra $20 just for a box with Movieverse characters on it but the prints interest me.

Yes. One is the original Transformers Movie Poster, but WITHOUT the logo artwork (so you can really see the beautiful painted artwork). One is the cover to the Marvel Issue 5 with Shockwave (are all dead), minus the logo, the marvel trade dress, the barcode. So there's been some serious touch ups to produce both these pieces. One I think is the Bayverse movie megatron, and I think one is the full artwork for Transformers Siege. Can't remember what the other poster is, but I'm glad I sprung for it just for the movie poster
