Ok sweet,thanks

I'm confused, I just bought the SHOTFC hard cover from my LCS. My comic guy says it came in last week as scheduled and its different from every version I'm seeing online.

There's this that retails for $50. That was released last year.
http://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Mutant...kprint+Edition

Then there's this for pre-order from IDWlimited at $75.

The copy I bought has the IDW limited imprint on it, but the cover is all red with a small picture in the bottom right hand corner. It has the slip cover and cost $75, but its basically just a big red box. Neither edition is pictured as just a red book and box, and typically LCSs don't get IDW Limited books that are supposed to be limited to 350 copies.

Is this a third version of this that there's no picture of on the internet? Is that Amazon version above the one that was supposedly released to LCSs this week, even though it says it was released in November? What the hell did I buy?

...What the hell did I buy?

There is a SHOTFC Workprint Edition HC (released Nov. 12, 2014) and a SHOTFC Deluxe Workprint Edition HC (released May 20, 2015). The Deluxe version is the "IDW Limited" edition and has three versions: Red, Black, and Blue. The Red version was available for pre-order via Diamond or via IDW Limited store. Black and Blue are (or were) only available via IDW Limited Store. Read more about this by following the links above.

Yes, as Rich said, some of the lower tier IDW Limited releases are starting to also be available to pre-order through Diamond. The red label deluxe h/c for SHotFC was, as was the deluxe h/c for the 2012 Annual.

That latter one was RRP $125 through IDW Limited, but I got it from my comic place for 65 GBP!

Does anyone know if IDW will colour and publish Soul's Withering and Soul's End? We got the first Soul's Winter but not the other two.

If I'm not mistaken, TMNT Legends: Soul's Winter HC from IDW is the coloring and reprinting of all 3 of those Zulli stories...Winter, Withering, End.

I've almost got all of TMNT Mirage volume 1's Ultimate Collection hardbacks and have figured out what paperbacks to purchase for volume 2. But I'm having trouble with 3 and 4. Can someone please point me in the direction of purchasing the Image volume 3 and Mirage volume 4 TMNT comics? Trying to find paperbacks or collections of these issues is really confusing.

If you're trying to find collected volumes of either TMNT Vol. III or IV you will only find a single trade paperback for Vol. III which only collected Issues #1-5. Plus, it had such a low print run that it's extremely difficult to find and pricey $100+ if you do find one.

So, for Vol. III and IV you'll either need to wait for IDW to collect them in trade paperback format (which they probably will down the road) or buy the individual back-issues one by one. But, as you probably know, some of the individual back-issues are hard to find as well...especially the later issues of Vol. III (#18-23) and Vol. IV (#29-32).

So basically I just need to sit tight and wait. That's fine by me; I still have the last two collected editions of volume 1 to get, all of volume 2 and will be starting IDW's current run once their first hardcover is released soon. So I'm not in any rush to get volumes 3 & 4 yet. Hopefully it won't take too long to her them printed though.
Thanks for your help.

Just checked, you're absolutely correct although it's impossible to know where 'End' begins as there's no title credit in the book.

[boywonder26]

My IDW HC was refunded by Amazon today, on the very day I was expecting it to arrive. What the hell?

The order had already been dispatched, so I have no clue if it's gonna arrive or not.

Their Returns Support Centre "did not find any existing return authorizations." I am utterly confused right now.

Going to contact Amazon if it doesn't arrive by 9PM as promised.

Exact same thing happened to my order for this book from Amazon. I had this ordered for months, got a "shipping soon" notice, then the next day an "order refunded" notice.
I just re-ordered it and then it showed in 5 days. Weird.

I've had mine ordered since November. Very weird. Going through Your Account > Your Orders > Order Details, it says it's been refunded. But upon choosing the item in the contact form for their customer service centre and clicking Order Details there, it says it's still arriving today. Glitch, perhaps?

The money hasn't been put back into my bank account yet either. So I'm still gonna wait and see if it arrives or not for whatever reason.

UPDATE: I received an email telling me my order was "undeliverable" and has been returned to Amazon's fulfillment centre. I filled out a form in the returns centre and am awaiting a reply.

UPDATE 2: Received another email telling me that my order will be delayed by 1-2 days and asking whether or not I wish to refund it. I thought they already had refunded it?

UPDATE 3: Yet another email! "Undeliverable" items are unable to be re-sent.

"If you would still like to receive these items, you can return to our website and place a new order."

I shall, just not from Amazon themselves. I shall order it from a trusted Amazon Marketplace seller, now that they're available. The only reason I ordered it from Amazon themselves was because they were the only available source back in November.

Glad that's sorted. Still waiting on the refund though.

UPDATE 4: Money refunded. Re-ordered from Amazon Marketplace. Should arrive within 2-3 days.

UPDATE 5: It has finally arrived. I'm in love. So much for 2-3 days though. It took the best part of 2 weeks.
