I missed out on the deluxe edition of this title. Does anyone know if the sellout was of a first run and there might be more published at some future point? The secondary market prices on eBay are astronomical

I think it was completely sold out.

I'm pretty sure Metamorphosis is sold out. They did pull it briefly when they printed the second half (as it seems they did with all the DLEs during this time), but then they had it on the final chance countdown and sent several emails on it, so I am pretty sure this one is gone.

>5 supercell: I wish as a customer service that EP would keep active on their website “sold out” items which did not sell out, but which are simply on a hiatus — and attach a note that the remaining printing will occur in the future. This might prevent people from paying higher prices in the secondary market for items which are not OOP. The more recent example is Hunchback of Notre Dame.

>6 HugoDumas: great point. Was pleasantly surprised when I saw Hunchback back with ep. we purchased it right away. I thought that it was only available in Europe through MBI. EP need to provide more info on their website. As well as to have an option to leave reviews for their books.

>7 fancythings: yes I bought mine in Europe through Danbury Mint. Thankfully due to value of Euro I got it for less than U.S. retail. The other example was Count of Monte Cristo. I paid extra on eBay only to discover from this forum that it was returning from hiatus.

>8 HugoDumas: I have the count of monte cristo EP 5 volumes next to hunchback. Most beautiful LE’ s from ep. My parents bought Count after hurricane Sandy. This is when it was still available from ep. Was a long time ago. Glad you had good deal from Danbury mint. Both editions are well illustrated and pleasure to read.

I was in Zurich on vacation in 2017 with my relatives and one of the book stores there was selling EP used regular editions for the price of EP limited editions
