I'll be opening mine tomorrow morning :)

I got mine about 3 hrs ago!

yeah.

Merry Christmas to all of you!

.:VaniLLaKiLLah:.

I thought that my book had'nt arrived, and I thought to myself "Well I aint gettin that book for christmas time"
But that was until I saw a present under the tree, I didn't what it was, untill I opened it. And it was the Oddworld Art book! :fuzgrin:

Yes, I'm so happy!:D The book has great art and concept! So many great images and never seen before, and the cool things that were missed out.:fuzsmile:

I still haven't got is :angry:

And TIM did got it 3 days ago, and he also lives in Holland :angry again:
But I think that is the price for living nice and quiet far away from the big cities :)

erwinraaben55,
Maby it was send on an other airplane?!
can you imagen they wont put all books sold in the same plane..
or maby like you say it is late bechause you live nice and quiet far away from the big cities:p
Hope it will be by you in 1 week.
maby you can check ballistic publising how many weeks/days it maximum takes.

It's takes about 1-5 weeks to ship, when you've gotten the email.

I think I was the first to mention I got the email from the countries other than Australia, that it was paid, and a day later I was again the first to post here that I got the email that it was send. But I am the last to get the book :p. Well, the first shall be the last, I think it is this saying again that is true :p

I didn't think I was going to get mine for Christmas, but low and behold I saw it under the tree! :) I was so excited and overjoyed when I saw it under that tree and I just have to say that it is just amazing! The images I've seen so far, especially the landscapes, are beautiful and awesome!! I'm only about half way through it, but I intend on finishing it very soon! :)

Hey guys where can I get this book? I love Game Books :) I collect Strategy Guides for my favorite game, and I want to get the Oddworld thing to. How much it costs? and where i can buy it? I live in American New York.

you can order them here (http://www.ballisticpublishing.com/books/oddworld/). You can choose between soft cover, hard cover, and the limited edition. I only took the limited one, but there are fans here that took them all :D.

hmm, I now see they have changed the site, go check it out, maybe something interresting to see :). Or did you already know it, because the interview from Xavier and Max is also on balistics.

Omfg limited edition is 200 $ =( wow why so expensive? lol

It is Australian dollars, so it can be different for the place you come from.

Nath - did you get your payment sorted out, in the end? I used my Switch card and it went through fine. (although they didn't list Switch as an available card, they DID list Visa, which my Switch card is also.)

Niiice book. Yay for concept art!

It costs so much, as it is a Limited Edition. Only a thousand of them will ever be made, so the expected result is that they become rare, and thus valuable. Apart from that, they are made from high quality leather and are gold plated.

Alcar...

The book is awesome! The only fault I have found is the fact that I thought that the number of the book would be on the side or something, but thats not a big deal. I love the book though!!!

Argh, still haven't got it :(. I know it is because the post doesn't work that hard at christmas time etc, but I HAVEN'T GOT IT, come on guy's, GIMME, work a little bit harder, just for me :)

True, the number is only on the certificate, and not anywhere on the book itself. But I don't mind that.

I'm still hanging in here. There's a lot of Oddworld stuff I've not been receiving.

You're all so lucky :crying:

I'm just a poor student who has to pend lots of money for hire, train, uni and food. I envy you so much *sobs*

*wipes tears off, stands up and raises finger*

I will buy the limited edition and if I don't even have enough money to eat! Well... I should hurry up with that, huh? *sweats*

Shall I.....? *trembles*
..Could someone tell me what is better?
Food or Limited Edition?
Oh boy..that's a hard decision.

cant wait to have mine too..i have to ask for my sister to order it for me(shes lives in california :D..i have to wait until february..shes coming home for a vacation..1 month more to go!..many sleepless nights!!congrats to all who already got their book!happy new year..!

I think my dad secretly ordered it and didn't tell me yet because its a surprise...one can only hope ^_^

AAAAAAAAARGH, I still haven't got it!!

I have to email ballistic or something, because this can't be normal!!. Stupid post service in holland.

I think we're all still within the five-week period since Ballistic posted us. I would wait until that time has passed before contacting them. Heh, what am I talking about? That is what I'm doing.

California is no better than anywhere else as Ballistic is an Australian company. Just look at the postage costs and exchange rate and decide for yourself.

I actually feel a bit sorry for the non-Australians out there as I don't remember when our exchange rate has been this good (for Australians at least) before.

Yes, that is true (although on the site is says 3 weeks) but all other people in holland/belgium has got it in the week before Xmas, and I still haven't got it and I was the first to post it here that I got an email that it was send. So how strange is that :)

I have to tell you, I got my Limited Edition Art Book this morning. I only ordered it last week.

well, than it is time to email them. AARGH

If you still haven't oredered your book, you should read this:

Mine just got here!

My love for Oddworld has reached an unprecedented high, and I'm not even halfway done with the book.

FINALLY GOT IT, just 3 seconds ago :D:D, it's still sealed :p, but not anymore after I finished this post :p

And right on time, because I wanted to email them in about an hour, so luckily I can spend that time on the book :)

But the post service here isn't very good :confused:

I'm happy you finally got your book, erwinraaben55 ;)

jay :)
erwinraaben55 got his book also:)
but how can it make such a diffrent between my book an yours??

I don't have one simple clue. What I do know is that they are very lazy!!!! :p

I'm still waiting. I got my bank statement this morning, though. They took the money out four weeks ago, so I'm remaining patient.

How long did it take most of you to get your book? I ordered it about a week ago.

I got my book in 2 weeks but I live in Australia so I was lucky.

3 weeks, but I had to go and search all the post offices in the Hutt Valley for my FREAKIN' book... Damn Air Mail.

I was lucky my neighbour was looking after my place when it got there so I didn't have to go to the post office and pick it up.

No, first they posted it to my neighbour (Im at friggin' 22A, everyone posts to 22), he sent it back, even though it had MY name on it... Then about 3 hours of searching at post offices- and viola. One book.

I had better come to my damn house. I'm not searching all over the city for it when it cost that much.
