Titan Arum Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) I was perturbed by the 90 character limit in the personalization box. I really had to get creative in editing my question to make it super succinct. But in the end, super stoked by this book! Who cares that my question may not be clear now. Yay for new, collector's editions of Brandon Sanderson books for my shelf! Edited December 1, 2016 by Titan Arum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I waited too long to order Elantris last year and almost didn't end up with a copy. Same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeDunadan Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 $223.29 for shipping to the uk.. ouch. Totally worth it though! Seems like a lot shifted, saw people on Reddit stating they ordered 4 mins after opening and had order numbers ~21000... I was 6-7 mins and #~21800..

I'm not sure if Brandon's Store Order number means anything for your book number. My order for the release of AU was 21853. My order for Mistborn is 20920. Does the store recycle order numbers? Maybe. (Why they would seems odd to me.) Was I the 920th person to order the Mistborn book once it became available? I doubt it.

Yeah I wasn't sure on using USPS so went for the courier, I was pretty spaced after waking up at 04:45 to order it ha. Good to see the order numbers aren't sequential, really hoping for a reasonably low numbered book. Edited December 1, 2016 by WeeDunadan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he knows there is a 90 char limit and he doesn't think I'm a super moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_93 Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 damnation, and I'm still trying to figure out a good question to ask when ordering it and as I wanna orderElantris Leatherbound as well, i gotra figure out 2... Any good ideas here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khyrindor Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 I ordered within the first hour, so I kinda hope it's in the top hundred. Would have been closer, but I was busy when it was made available. My best number so far is #26 for Shadows Beneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsdaughter613 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 I ordered pretty early but had trouble with making my question fit 90 characters. I also wanted a message for my DD's birth. I put the original text and more info on baby into the instructions section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_93 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 So, i was just going to order, just to discover, that the shop does not ship to Switzerland... hopefully they can arange something for me there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farnsworth Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) I asked about the (AU spoilers) Spoiler Gas giants And if they ever came into the story. Also, since I'm pretty young, last year I didn't have my own money and couldn't order Elantris. Is there a solution for that, or are there just no more books?

Maybe try Subterranean Press? They are getting copies. They'll be signed and a lower number than from Brandon's webstore. http://subterraneanpress.com/store/product_detail/mistborn_preorder Edited December 3, 2016 by momaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not planning on writing him a novel, but I had to greatly reduce the specificity of my question to get it to fit. a 250 character limit would have been nicer.

Radiant Returned Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) My tracking said Saturday that it would be here by Wednesday, but as of tonight it's still on the same "label created" step, so I have major doubts *sad-face Update: It is Wednesday. It is here. It is beautiful. Even more so than the Elantris edition, I can't wait to a) start reading it tonight and b ) have the matching books in 2017 and 2018. The only concern I have (which is admittedly worrying about a problem maybe 15 years away) is that the Mistborn leather edition is of a different, higher quality leather, and there are minute adjustments such as the black back-plate to the title and author's name on the ends. It looks awesome and it made it look way better (which I didn't even know was possible), but I wonder if they will continue these improvements when/if Brandon makes the anniversary editions to Elantris? Will the sequels be the same quality as Mistborn, and therefore not match Elantris? And if so will there be an option to buy a new Elantris book that matches those patterns for people who are as obsessive as me? Or will they just keep all the sequels the same leather/style as the original? Like I said, optimistically this wouldn't even be a problem for another 15 years, but I can't help but wonder lmao.
