Absolute Planetary reprint

[DoktorK]

Hey

On amazon.com, you can order Absolute Planetary Vol. 1 rigth now for the original price. But on DC/Wildstorms website, that there are no plans for a reprint. Do anyone know whats happening? Did Amazon screw up, or are we lucky enough to get a reprint? Copies are still selling at Ebay for $300.

Amazon lists everything, even when it's virtually impossible for them to get it. Last impossible item they had was the 500+ page Ptolus book, by Monte Cook. It was an exclusive deal by Monte's company and it would not be sold anywhere but there. Amazon had it listed with a nice 15% discount. After a few emails to Monte, they took it down.

It has been listed as unavailable for ages, and then, on the 4th of december, it became available again.

I wrote customer services, and they insisted on them being able to deliver. But I doubt they actually contacted the publisher.

Anywho, here's hoping:)

I went ahead and ordered it. It says it will take 4-6 weeks to ship, so I'll let everyone know when/if it actually comes in. If this is for real, then all I'll have to do is find an Absolute Planetary v1 for cover and I'll have all my must-have Absolute editions!

according to DC, in their most recent Ask Wildstorm section on the website, there are NO plans to reprint the Absolute Editions that are out of print, although they said that they MAY explore the idea when issue 27 of Planetary is released and they start working on the Vol. 2 Absolute Edition. Until then though, there is no chance of it happening

Right now I'm keeping my fingers crossed that these were found in a warehouse somewhere and not just a snafu.

Ordered one a few days ago, hope it comes!

I ordered on December 4th, so according to the site mine should be coming in around the week of January 8th. I'll post how it all turns out.

Update: Amazon sent me an e-mail notifying me that the delivery estimate for it changed from January to "February 9, 2007 - February 26, 2007" so this is probably going to take longer than I thought it'd be.

Mine still says:

Delivery estimate: January 31, 2007 - February 15, 2007

I've also got Ultimate Galactus v3 coming with it.

Mine was also delayed. but still on hold. Its unavailable for buying again though.

My comic book shop has it sitting on their shelfs every day I go in there. I keep debating on buying it because of all this hootinany.

Do you know how much they're asking for it?

I can still add 1 to my shopping cart, with a 4-6 week estimated delivery.

I think just cover price, which would be $100.
