Faefrost Posted August 20, 2012 I just got a notice from Amazon.com. They cancelled my pre-order for the Batman Visual Guide due to "lack of availability"? Apparently they will not be getting enough to meet current pre-orders? (and heck I put in my pre-order when it was announced in June). Has anyone else encountered this?

Oky Posted August 20, 2012 Odd. I didn't get such a notice, and I ordered mine only about a month ago. Maybe it depends on where you live? Not surprised that they're having trouble meeting demands though. Batman is quite popular at the moment, and the book comes with an awesome minifig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bilbo Baggins Posted August 20, 2012 That's weird, you should try pre-ordering it elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrettBrick Posted August 20, 2012 I have had preorders cancelled previously. The stuff ends up in stock and selling. If it has been on preorder for a while, about 3 months. So try again is my option. Or better try somewhere else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wokajablocka Posted August 23, 2012 If its anything like the Star Wars visual dictionary surly they will come back into stock by the thousands. Just recently I have seen the first SW VD with Luke again on the shelf at my local shops here in Australia along side the Character dictionary with the ceremonial Han. You will unfortunately have to be patient. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dervish Posted September 11, 2012 Same ere :) Oh yeah, and mine arrived yesterday.. The electro suit batman is almost perfect, too bad the "helmet" sits way too low to show the mouth on the figs head.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gooker1 Posted September 11, 2012 Oh yeah, and mine arrived yesterday.. The electro suit batman is almost perfect, too bad the "helmet" sits way too low to show the mouth on the figs head.. Is that b/c it's the Dark Knight helmet and not the original one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dervish Posted September 12, 2012 Is that b/c it's the Dark Knight helmet and not the original one? I can't answer to that as I don't know the differences, and have not yet read the book. But here are some quick close-ups of the 2 diffirent faces, chest printing and the "helmet". http://www.partanen.net/lego/electrosuit_batman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should get the book tomorrow, so I'm excited to see it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faefrost Posted September 14, 2012 Is that b/c it's the Dark Knight helmet and not the original one? I'm wondering if it was planned or spaced to have a neck connector in place for a backpack? That would force the cowl to sit just a tad higher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smu01mhw Posted September 18, 2012 I can't post the link because I'm a newbie. However I just came across a deal on hotukdeals.com, for the visual dictionary for £6.99. The deal is via "the book people". You can also use the code OFFERSEP for free delivery. Hopefully this is of use to some people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
