>1 Bob_Reader: you have questions that only EP insider can answer. Contact EP directly with questions like that. You’ll get a much better info.

If they answer emails. In my experience they usually don't. (A friend just asked about Gilgamesh, no reply.) It might be easier from the US by phone.

>4 SF-72: Yes, it is relatively easy to get them by phone. But whether or not the customer service rep has an answer to your question is something else entirely. To be fair, they are often not privy to when or if things are going to be rereleased.

Never had any problems reaching EP customer service...phone or email...they are always very helpful in every way they can, however they don't have any inside information on what, if or when a book will be released...."someone else" is in charge of that.

Judging by what you wrote, I assume it's foreign emails they're just not reacting to then, at least not these days. It used to work well enough, but that was quite a while ago. Back then it was also no problem to order internationally by email, even though the website didn't accept orders.

>7 Bob_Reader: I received mine in the mid -20, it's in the 500 range somewhere......but EP does not ship the books in order, so one will receive a random #. If the batches also are random, that's another question...

>10 Bob_Reader: If I should guess, I doubt it has sold out...it came out early -20...I would wait.
I'm still hoping for Gilgamesh to show up again ;D but that one is definitely long gone for sure!

With Folio and EP, count downs always refer to the *current* inventory of printed copies. Occasionally, that current inventory coincides with the last batch printed. Only in this latter case will "sold out" mean "permanently sold out". Unfortunately, the time frame between batches varies significantly. With more expensive books and DLEs, it seems like it varies on the order of 2-5 years, maybe more. For less expensive, non-limited books, a batches might be spaced out 0.5-2 years apart.
Unfortunately, no one knows when Eddas or any other title might return. I suppose whomever at EP is actually in charge of settling contracts and commissioning print runs with the binders might know but they're also probably obligated not to tell the general public, either (it's never a good thing when competitors can find out your production schedule!).
