You would be surprised how much things like these cost to make.

A die cut, embossed finish + the fact it's made 12x12. Getting these custom things sorted out at the printers cost a lot of money. Especially with the recession still looming in this sector.


Nah, not even close. Even 1,000 copies ain't really that limited when you see how little is involved in the process to make these nowadays. In fact, I'd be surprised if it cost even a third this costs to physically make. All it is is a couple of bits of photoboard and a bit of printing on a nice bit of artist paper. Add in the binding process which most top end print machines can do at the same time it's printed and you've spent no more than about £30 for the entire process. Even the ant on the front costs pennies to do nowadays.

Bottom line, someone's making a pretty penny on these.

20 Lamborghini Reventon is a limited edition, not a crappy overpriced picture book.

Ordered one copy to my collection. Price is a bit high, yes, but it was also with the back pack some time ago and I got that one too. Money isn't really an issue to me, I have a job and get paid every two weeks.

And it's nice to have something with autographs :wink:

Totally worth it. Those are masterpieces. Sci-fi stuff. I've seen one live, inside and out. I was fucking stunned. :shock:

No - you´re not ... !

I thought about it twice, 3 times , 4 times, 5 times and now... I pre-ordered it. :oops:

If you think about it: The book itself isn´t that expensive if you compare it to the signed framed pictures for near the half the price of it they sold.

Okay, I must admit, the book isn´t cheap, but it´s genuine and I would bite my own ass off, if I know I spent so many money during the last years for prodigy-items and rarities and I didn´t have this one in my collection.

I guess every hard-core fan collector will understand this, but this is the first time for me I really thought about buyin this or not. I agree to every member here, this is the hardest decision a fan has to do purchasing this item or not. I still hope this will never happen again....

PLEASE LIAM, KEITH AND MAXIM - put some signed postcards into this package, too or something like a signed certificate :wink:

The delivery is the main rip-off imo - I guess it would be possible to send those books cheaper world wide.

AND the reason I ordered it is just the fact I have some things to sell on ebay, but that´s the the only 2nd reason - the money. I work hard for my money and didn´t earn enough just to pay 140 £ [that´s 155 €] easily.

yeah i wasn't complaining those things look like proper lambo's kinda like the same league of hypercar as the FXX


as for the book, its not something i'd spend my wages on i'd rather buy modern warfare 2 prestige edition for the extra 20

but atleast by the looks of it the book is gonna sell a few copies
