Yeah, i'm hoping Amazon.uk drop the price again soon so i can order it.

You know Adlibris will be getting these? Should be about the same price if you factor in shipping from UK.

Never heard of them but i just checked and Amazon will be slightly cheaper. And a few months ago it was £50 cheaper so i expect Amazon to drop it back down again hopefully soon. They can be really annoying with their prices sometimes.

"Yesterday we received the first advance copy of the upcoming Abrams publication Star Wars Art: Ralph McQuarrie, co-authored by myself, David Mandel, and Wade Lageose and due for release September 27. We spent more than 18 months working on the two-volume, 800-page set, which includes all known Star Wars art by Ralph McQuarrie. The vast majority of the artwork was re-scanned or re-photographed for the book, and it really shows in the large-format presentation. Having it in hand is a real treat, having invested so much time into it, and we know McQuarrie fans and fans of the making of the films will love it—a weighty 21.5 pounds of McQuarrie brilliance."

Amazing! Thank you for posting jkno! Glad I have this on order.

The last time I ordered a large book like this from Amazon, it was the Star Wars Blueprints book (regular version) which included its own protective shipping box within the Amazon box. I've received a few higher ended books packed out like this. Let's hope this publisher is taking the same precautions. I would expect so for a book of this price and quality.

I'll keep my eye out for that price drop then.

Amazon is $208 now. Don't they honor the lowest pre-order price?

That post from jkno says it's a 2 volume set. FP are advertising a 3 volume set. What's that all about?

My guess is they changed from 3 to 2.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Yeah they have to save something to make the re-issue tempting !

21.5 lbs!?!? Gotdamn! You can enjoy McQuarrie's fine art and bludgeon an intruder to death, well worth $200.

 

[furystorm]

Long live the King.

 

[jkno]

Aww, dammit jkno! That looks awesome!

Which means I'm gonna have to get it!

Woah! That looks awesome!

Glad you like it, seems it will be a superb book. I'm kinda sure the price will come down after being available. wish I had a way to get it signed by the authors. Brandon Alinger also wrote the Star Wars Costumes book being involved with screen used props, so he knows his stuff



BTW no rep for such a good post though?

That's where mine is coming from. Got it for 90.66 pounds shipped... But I do fear it will arrive damaged. I hope they pack it VERY well!!!

We should post In here or on FB whenever the price lowers. I would be a buyer around 150ish!

Howdy guys!! I wanted to share this with you, earlier this year ILM along with ArtStation organized a concept art design challenge open to artist from all over the globe.
I entered but didn't make the cut... They are finally allowing us to share this art, I am really happy with the results but definitely need to improve because the art that made it to the finals is absolutely insane!
This fight would probably last seconds, still an interesting concept! Hehe!

 

[Darth Waller]

Very cool, Kuzeh!

 

[Aliaz]

Agreed, very cool!

 

[punkg42]

Nice job Kuzeh!
