New Deluxe editions in Amazon

Post by Ibero »

And this time i´m gonna use the amazon.com links for you guys:

http://www.amazon.com/Book-of-Death-Del ... ant+deluxe

http://www.amazon.com/Rai-Deluxe-Editio ... ant+deluxe

http://www.amazon.com/Ivar-Timewalker-D ... ant+deluxe

Im pretty happy about the Rai deluxe having the content from both the Rai1 plus and the rai 5 plus editions, but on the other hand, they better reconsider that book of death deluxe having the legends of the geomancer or im gonna be very sad.

Those are the things that make people stop buying for a time.

Couldn't agree with this more. This will be a sad skinny event DLX compared to Harbinger Wars and Armor hunters.

I am super pumped about Ivar and Rai tho.. those I am so gonna get as soon as they are released.

Wouldn't it be more damaging to not keep their word about not reprinting LOTG?

In his interview with Martin at Valiant Central, Dinesh himself confirmed that they are NOT including LOTG in any reprints for any reason. THEY feel it's important to keep their word and do as they say.

I think I would probably find it somewhere in my hearth to forgive them if they didnt keep their word on this one.

But then how could you trust them in the future?

Of course I would. In fact given the massive amount of the LOTG promotion hate I would trust valiant to recognize when they have made a bad mistake and do whatever it takes to make it right for their fans. That I would trust more than anything if this happened.

I really don't see the point in making a "deluxe edition" of a four issue mini-series, it just seems like a waste of money

I am happy about the Rai Deluxe edition though, I've been instinctively putting off buying the individual tpbs in anticipation. Wanted to do the same with Bloodshot Reborn, but I love the series too much and just can't wait that long

I see 160 pages in the Divinity DX book. Will look great on a shelf, that's for sure, and a benefit to the completist. I'll be getting it.

I agree, they probably should have waited, I'm assuming they would like to capitalize on all the heat, Divinity, is the hottest thing coming out of Valiant, according to the market. I'm definitely picking one up, to show my love and support. :D

Collecting DIVINITY #1-4, along with more than 20 pages of rarely seen art and extras, including designs, process art, sketches, commentary and more!
Good question, unless you was referring to the Rai Deluxe... :?

They already are reprinting the Rai "Plus Edition" material in the Deluxe HC, even though it was advertised that that material would not be reprinted either. Why not LoTG? It wouldn't totally be reneging because it only ever said it would not be sold digitally or collected in the "trade".

It may not have been reneging before, but Dinesh made it absolutely clear that LoTG will not be reprinted in any form on the latest Valiant Central podcast.

This crossed my mind, but i like this comics and i dont want to stop reading them. But its screwing almost all fans for a gimmick.

I mean, they also said the ninjak issue would have a glow in the dark cover, but since it would have been bad for us, they change the plan.

They can change the plan for us fans again, and i hope they do.

Luckily, im from Spain, so i am gonna start taking to the people doing the spanish trades to do one for this mini series.They never said anything about our market.

I don't think I can properly phrase my outrage and disgust at Dinesh's decision without cursing, so I'll just refrain. Really, that statement alone has instantly made Valiant no better than Marvel or DC at this point

Clearly, there is a 120 page "only ever found in the first printing deluxe hardcover" Legends of the Geoduck. It tells the untold story of the Geomancer's eternal phallic clam pet.

Slightly related, but just a head's up that Amazon currently has a promo where you can get 30% off any print book by using the promo code holiday30 at checkout. May be useful for anyone looking for any of the deluxe editions that are already available.
