Just noticed that the relevant post about halfway down page 14 is dated July 2021. [I only read it yesterday and didnt think to check the date of posting until just now]. Have not paid attention to what Vanguard are doing, or which volume is which! Hope I've not caused worry for no reason! Jayman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Mentallo Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 @Jayman have just checked sources here in the UK regarding the covers book - Forbidden Planet show a due date of 7 September, Amazon UK 22 September; however Book Depository show a November date.BD are usually thought to be the most reliable - but who knows with supply chain issues these days. Will keep an eye on that Collected Editions thread for you. Jayman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRBaxter Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Vanguard website claims the covers book is currently shipping “only” within the United States. So maybe book will arrive in the next week or so here. Jayman, Flex Mentallo and Artifiction 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pre ordered so I’ll just wait and see. Thanks for the info! Flex Mentallo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 " I'll never forget, the Egyptian Queen. I got that whole painting done, in about a day and a half, and I looked at it. It was done as far as I was concerned. Then I looked at her face, and I didn't like it. "Damn it, I don't like that face. I'm going to make it better." So I started to repaint the face, and I painted the face, and I painted it again, and I painted it again. Well, I was like three days trying to get the right face, And I suddenly got sort of blinded to it. I couldn't see any more. I just looked at it and didn't know where I was any more. It's really weird, and so I finally just settled for any face, and brought it in, and they printed it that way, and then I forgot about it. So, a couple of months later I get it back, now I was fresh again. And I just looked at it and "Pow!" I whacked in the face that you see in all the prints. It's really weird. But what happened is that you just become blinded by it. When I got it back, looked at fresh, her face was painted in five minutes.

davidtere Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I received mine today (I ordered through Vanguard). I got the slipcased version so it has the bonus pages. Looking forward to looking through it, but am happy that the slip case is much like previous Vanguard Frazetta slip cases, a quality product. I loved the Fantastic Paintings but the slip case on that one was somewhat flimsy (of course that might be because the book is larger). This one is the same size as the other Frazetta slipcase editions published previously by Vanguard. Yeah, I'm happy with it.

Jayman Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Got mine also today, 3 days earlier than tracking stated! Looks sweet just like above. Will post some interior shots later or tomorrow. The extra pages in this edition are pretty cool but nothing crazy cool. A nice quality book overall. davidtere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
