Very true. I haven't look over the "poster section" for awhile.

Soooooo no early release info yet on the postponed Tenjin book?

Dec 12th is next week. Usually those things ship out a little bit early

Not sure, but the cover still looks the same...curious to see what's inside...or not

I am just glad I was able to grab them, have never seen them relisted

I was just glad. I found that one DYRL fold up promo poster. I thought I would never find one.

[jvmacross]

Yeah, those are common now

Both are. Even though the second version. Was seen for sale about five times. For two months.

[jvmacross]

Yep...the guy who kept buying them at bargain prices made some nice profits

You are buying the non-SDCC version to compare?

Anybody get a notice from Amazon about shipping delay on new Tenjin book?

[jvmacross]

Which one?  The book @Shawnis referencing in the previous post?

If so...interesting...

Yes.

Yes.

Some sellers on Amazon seem to claim it is in stock...but that could be wrong...

If you can find an actual listing on ebay to prove it's in the wild, then it could be that Amazon just didn't get their stock...although seems odd they wouldn't...

Udon's own page is showing it as sold out too. But the description still says "COMING SOON FROM UDON ENTERTAINMENT"

Probably just another publishing delay.

[jvmacross]

Looks like it's out there...

[TheLoneWolf]

That's fantastic, then it really is selling out 😀

Udon's page has shown 'sold out' for at least 2 months, when I first checked it there. Suspect they haven't updated it.

I see no immediate difference between the comic con one/early bird specials that they sold at otakon vs the one shown there on ebay.

Sure hope something is different. If not maybe there was a new agreement for the release between the publisher/licensor, or perhaps there never was an issue and its just weird production problems/internet drama/rumors.

I'd love to see the index

[jvmacross]

A bunch of retailers seem to have it in stock...just have to search for it....only way I'd get one is if it is proven that it is no different than the SDCC version...I'm good on Tenjin autographs so have no interest in paying anywhere close to MSRP for a copy....

[Mommar]

I just want to know if I'm going to get my copy.  Amazon is kind of famous for screwing people on pre-orders.

[jvmacross]

I doubt you have anything to worry about....The original book is still available on Amazon.....pretty sure this one will be available as well a year from now

[Mommar]

Anybody had their Amazon order ship yet?

[locidm]

Delivery date of mine got pushed back to January 2 to 12.

[jvmacross]

The "rumor" was that somehow HG protested the inclusion of art that was too close to their licensed mechs and characters...but looks like that was either not the case or some deal was hammered out to finally get the book released...

Based on cover of the non-SDCC edition...it appears to be the same book...looking forward to finding out...

[sh9000]

I think the 2 books are the same and early copies were sold at SDCC with Tenjin to sign.

Looks like it...wonder why the book took longer to release

Mine just arrived a few minutes ago.

EDIT: The only thing I can see in the book that might potentially be of issue to HG is the VF-1EX... so I doubt it was any holdup from their side.

Edited December 22, 2023 by Seto Kaiba

[jvmacross]

If the VF-1EX is in the book, it seems unlikely anything would differ between the general release and the SDCC release...perhaps the holdup was due to receiving more POs than anticipated?

Still waiting for actual confirmation from someone with both versions....

Edited December 22, 2023 by jvmacross

[sh9000]

I received the Tenin book from RightStuf.  This version and the one sold at SDCC and signed by Tenjin are the same book.

[Seto Kaiba]

Well, there we have it... the delay must have been some kind of holdup at the printers or something.
