New arrivals, more to come this month, the Crysis artbook is signed on the inner cover as well by three devs.
So not sure if it's a sale price or not, but $19.33 for the upcoming Final Fantasy Ultimania Archive Vol 2 seems like a great price. I was really impressed with Volume 1:

Niceeee. Cancelled my Target preorder and went here instead. $5 cheaper.

So... it seems amazon.us now ship to france ?
I just ordered a bunch of books to test shipping prices, taxes, shipping delays and eventual toll fees... But it could be game changer when some books are twice cheaper than here and 25/30% cheaper than in UK

GIFTBOOK18 is another Amazon code available for $5 off. Some artbooks have been containing coupon codes for double savings. Not games, but picked up The Art of Howl's Moving Castle and The Art of Miyazaki's Spirited Away for like $16 each, which is a great deal!
For the first time, Amazon actually wrapped my book in a sealed baggy. Wow, I hope they continue to actually do this in the future!

Awesome news and kind of surprised they didn't ship to other EU countries before (I've bought from Amazon US before from the UK)
Fantastic price! I still need to pick up those two.
New arrivals, the SNK one didn't have the dust cover but it was slightly cheaper than the going price for complete books. Also got the two Daniel Chavez sketchbooks, anybody who has the more recent Halo artbooks will be familiar with his work.
DC Sketchbook 2
There's a couple of colour pages at the back although the book is 99% pencil and ink sketches. Really nice collection despite being one from one of those print on demand publishers.
DC Sketchbook 1
The first sketchbook is kinda disappointing, much lower print quality than the second.
Some new additions! Art of Darksiders 3, and the Art of Hearthstone Limited Edition.
Edit: oops @ the rotation.

Came home to a nice package. Literally never thought I'd get a copy of the first volume.
FF XIV is amazing indeed congrats
It doesn't hit till next week, but has anyone had a chance to view Into The Spider-Verse: The Art of the Movie yet? Any impressions?
Gonna get it tomorrow if everything works outIt doesn't hit till next week, but has anyone had a chance to view Into The Spider-Verse: The Art of the Movie yet? Any impressions?
Nice, would love to hear your thoughts if possible. Just might want to give it an order myself.
I will definitly post something. There may be the possibility that I get it a bit later, but I try to give my thoughts about it ASAP^^
so the final fantasy ultimania vol 2 should be out today but I've had it preordered since september and it's saying 'usually ships within 1-2 months'? anyone heard of any issues?
I'm in the U.K. and I heard mine had been delayed to January, but now it seems to be back on track for this week. All I can say is always expect it to be a bit late, but it might not necessarily be months.
hmm okay, seems like it might be in a bit of a flux. ah well, i can wait!

I've made some impusle buys over the past few days, but I'll be out for vacations for a few weeks... I'll have a pile of books to pick up early next year
Artbook has not arrived yet, I guess it hast to do with strikes at our Amazon Logistic Centers. Will give you a headsup as soon as I recive it
I ordered it a few months ago, got the recent email from Amazon saying it would be delivered in January, but then yesterday I got another email saying it had been despatched and is due to arrive today. Hasn't shown up yet but I have no reason to doubt it will.
My Ultimania Vol.2 has been dispatched, it should be here Friday. It's so nice to finally get these in English. I just got the Amano biography and the DQ Toritama illustrations collection, too.
I switched my Preorder to Amazon early December (7th i think?) and mine will be waiting for me when i get home. Was shipped out Sunday.
man that's disappointing. seems like my order slipped through the net or something. maybe it'll turn up this week otherwise I'm apparently waiting until Feb!
Nice, I finally picked one up about a month ago, as well as the 20 Years of TR book, which were the last two I was really struggling to find. Unfortunately both got pretty damaged during transit (due to terrible packaging), but I got full refunds on both, so I guess I'm fine with them for the time being.
And here's my whole TR set, I think this is pretty much it for what was on my wishlist. Oh, back in April of this year there were zero TR books in my collection.

All good. I actually put an order in myself -- alongside Titan's Into The Spider-Verse Official Movie Special tie-in. I suspect there's going to be some overlap with the official art book, but in my current fervor for all things Spider-Verse related, I figured what the heck. =]
My copy of Ultimania Vol. 2 arrived today, but I've yet to get home to check it out. Looking forward to it!
Yeah, since I dropped out of the poster game pretty early, it's a good way of reminding me what I've been missing out on :D
I still buy one here and there, but it's just too expensive to keep up. And there's only so much wall space in the house.
Anyone else get their Dragon Quest Illustrations book from Amazon in a fucking bubble mailer? Im sending this shit back.
So I put an order in, but Amazon's giving me a pushed back release as well. From January 10th to February 1st. =/ I suspect it'll come sooner, but since I'm the inpatient type, I took a look at this video. It's a pretty comprehensive look at someone who received the book:
I didn't realize there were so many Tomb Raider comics! How many issues is that?
TR Archives 1-3 cover the entire 1999 Top Cow run (#1-#50, only #25 is missing for some reason), Archives 4 has "issues #0 and #1/2 of the 1999 Top Cow Tomb Raider series, issues #1-#12 of the 2001 Tomb Raider: Journeys series, and five one-shot stories", and the TR Library edition has the 2014 Dark Horse run (#1-#18). There's been a bunch of other comics as well, but I don't really keep track. I bought these primarily for the incredible artwork, though I do plan to read them eventually.
These are beasts though, the five books run over 2200 pages in total.
Was this like $100+ from Barnes and Noble?Did anyone else pick up the Yoshitaka Amano Collector's Edition? I got #1090. I wanted #666 xD.
These are the photocards you get for the uninitiated. They're about 6.25x8.25 inches.
I got mine for $110 on Amazon. Dark Horse customer service told me there were 5000 copies.
The Blu-ray documentary is worth the extra price alone.

Two new pickups, obv not my pictures, though.
I adore this book. The two art directors are art GODS imho (Briclot and Koch) I love the architecture of Neo Paris from the retrofited building to the tiny details like kitchenware...
I've actually owned Remember me FOREVER, I just haven't gotten around to playing it, everyone tells me the game looks phenomenal.
I enjoyed it. The central mechanic isn't quite as dynamic as we were led to believe during the game's development, but it's still a very interesting game.

The game is far from perfect but godamn that art direction... enjoy it
I'd been thinking about buying it for a while and then suddenly it was gone and is now listed on Amazon £85 which is a lot more than I am willing to spend. I'm hoping they'll reprint it but with the anniversary now gone it's a long shot.
