Would someone have any news about the publication date?

I pre-ordered a copy in november, but still don't have any news and see that the Dark Quest page given by Ningauble has still the same mentions ("Forthcoming").

I noticed too John Grant's blog doesn't function anymore.
A bad sign?

It was delayed due to an art issue, but that was close to a year ago and you'd think it would have been taken care of by now.
The page now says "Estimated 2/2011 release". Well, obviously that didn't happen, but I'm thinking any month now... (I haven't preordered myself because apparently Dark Quest doesn't ship to Sweden, so I'll have to wait until it becomes available to retailers... :( )

Thanks for the informations, I hadn't noticed.
I hope too the publication should be soon, now.
I absolutely loved the Legends I aleradey read!

You couldn't ordrer from Sweden?
I live in France and had the same problem when I first wanted to order during last summer.
But Neal Levin from DQ asked the webdesigner to resolve the problem (allow orders from other parts of Europe), and I could finally order.
Then you should try again!

Well, France is now on the list, but many other countries aren't. If it were doable, I'm sure it'd have been done by now.

You should ask.

I'm not sure many French fans of Lone Wolf did pre-order the book (they never were translated to French), but they accepted to add France to the list you mention.
Then even if few Swedish fans want to order, they could add your country too?

I pre ordered off Dark Quest Book's site in February 2010. Not only does this no longer have any kind of release date but they have not returned any emails to me since that time. I have since moved and have no way of alerting them to my new address.

I would not pre-order.

This inspired me to send one last email out to them and they did reply. No news on a release date:

"Currently the product is still on pre-order as it has not yet been released. At present we do not have a time frame of when it will be released due to certain issues involving the product."

It looks like I am going to be able to change my shipping address at least. Take that as you will. Actually getting a reply to an email makes me feel better but not having a release date after all this time makes me wonder if it ever will.

I suppose we have to be patient. :?

But think about the new LW gamebook, waiten since a far longer time: I'm absolutely sure it will be released!
Let's think it will be the same with the Legends, wait and see...

I tried to order from them in February.

It was not possible to order from Germany because the shop did not allow it.

When I asked why that wasn't possible, I got a none too friendly answer saying that:

"Larger online sites can obtain better rates and pass it on to you. We'd prefer orders come through one of the online sales vendors when they product becomes available for shipping. "

No idea where they want me to order now...

Yeah, that's what I was told too. It means that you have to wait until the book is published, and then hope that some online bookseller such as Amazon.de will have it.

That's what I thought... I just hope that they will have it!

I just hope that this edition will be worth it.

Would someone have news of the Legends reprint?
I'm patient, but I wonder if I'll receive one day the book (or my money back).

And please don't laugh. :|

The last I heard they had finally got the cover art issue solved. I was told that I would see an update within a couple of weeks, which I didn't, but I'm too polite to point this out to them again.
I'm sure the books will appear eventually -- but Dark Quest aren't moving very fast.

The main thing is that they move, I think it doesn’t matter if they’re slow, but I must recognize thats’s very very slow. :cry:

The book is finally available! There is no update on the Darkquest website yet, but I got an e-mail saying that they're packing the preorders now in response to my query earlier today.

And Amazon has it available already: http://www.amazon.com/Legends-Lone-Wolf ... 586&sr=1-1

A Swedish online bookstore even has the cover art: http://www.adlibris.com/se/product.aspx?isbn=0982619707
