That's a long time to wait between issues, so I apologize for that. I'll try and put something up on the IDW forum soon as a little tide-over.

I'm OK with the wait. I think it's most frustrating for you guys...meeting all your deadlines and still having a delay. But, on the bright side, I suppose this just means a shorter time between #38 and #39 !!

Wazzup with the IDW Collection HC? Bookdepo still says Oct 7. Is that real?

Bobby Curnow · 09-17-2014, 11:50 AM

IDW Collection has been moved back a good deal— next March I think.

Was that ever formally solicited? I can't imagine so as the cover isn't done yet.

Tazi · 09-17-2014, 11:54 AM

March, ahh... I will might collect he TBPs instead, that's way too much time.

Or maybe both of them, hah.

It says Oct 7, amazon too...
That's kinda bad for people who preorder it now in the hope for getting it soon, and instead it will be 6 months later.

You're right, I don't think it was solicited as the other collections, and still no cover, this is why it seemd strange...

Bobby, this has not been solicited yet through Diamond but Amazon has had it for pre-order for quite some time.

Gotcha— I would recommend taking all Amazon listings with big grains of salt, you have to list super early there if you have any intention of the book hitting a given month, which is often not finalized as it's so far ahead.

I'm just glad we're doing IDW Collections!!

Same here! With the comic series I collect, I'm all about completion and proper reading order, which is why I prefer TPBs over single issues and hardcovers over TPBs.

My Volume 1 Hardcover has been pre-ordered for some months now, I can wait as long as it takes!

*DrSpengler* · 09-18-2014, 08:33 AM

(hey, maybe they can use this extended time to include the 30th Anniversary story "A Lot to Learn" in the collection)

Looking forward to the IDW Collection; it'll make recommending/gift-giving to my friends a lot easier.

I want this to happen so bad, you don't even know.

And yeah, I've kind of been holding off on recommending the series to my friends until the first hardcover comes out. It's easy enough to read everything in order when each issue comes out one at a time, but the reading order after the fact is byzantine at best. Better to just hand them one hardcover book and tell them to read it.

If it includes that and the Infestation 2 issues where they belong this collection will be perfect.

Regardless, I've been skipping the TPBs in favor of holding out for the collection books so I'm gonna buy it anyway...

The IDW Collection HC is now saying January 2015 on Amazon.

What amazon does is ****ing unethical. Taking preorders with false release dates...

Joey Kamikaze · 10-07-2014, 02:03 AM

Amazon does a lot of sketchy stuff. They're basically the Walmart of the Internet, with all the bad that entails. And their CEO is a douche.

*ToTheNines* · 10-07-2014, 05:18 AM

I wouldn't say false dates, they're just placeholder dates. Chill.

DONATELLO DUZMACHINES · 10-07-2014, 05:22 AM

Any know if issue 39 is still holding its Oct 15th release date?

There's no release date yet, therefor the correct release date should be "TBA". Also, Bobby said March, and they changet the October to January... Awesome...

I also had similar nature of problem with Book Depository recently (also owned by the same company as Amazon), they had "2 days until shipping" at one of their books, then it doesn't shipped for weaks. I asked them, they replied with "sorry, our provider didn't shipped the books yet, if you want we can refund blabla..." something like. I didn't wanted to refund obviously, all I wondered is why a book ships after a month if it should ship after two days(it's the TMNT Original Motion HC btw). Of course, after I asked them, they still had the wrong shipping date up for weeks. Since that time passed, the book also became cheaper, tho it's only $2 of a difference, so not a huge loss, or anything, but still.

Anyway, I don't think that's the way you treat your customers in a good business, damnit.
