Is it going to be like the Children of Hurin, Khamul? - with a standard edition (which I got last week), a slip-cased £60 edition, and a leather-bound, signed £350 edition?

I have ordered my copy today from the HC web site which has just been relaunched at www.tolkien.co.uk
Yes, I just ordered mine successfully after having a failed attempt this morning (total failure - I don't think they had finished deploying it because it wasn't possible to complete a transaction at that point).
I actually sent them a list of bugs after my first attempt (countries not alpha ordered, was defaulting country to "Malta", could not get past address details to the worldpay screen).
It does say "beta" on it to be fair, though I've never heard of a company putting a beta version of an e-commerce site out in the real world before...

Same here... When I ordered yesterday midday I was unable to get through the order process mysef. For the rest I feel there is not much info in the shop. I notice in the Harper Collins backend that there will be multiple books reserved for the new shop, but somehow it seems suggestive that they are either not there (like sets of companion and guide, signed??) or they still need to come...
Beren said, "They will be for sale thru tolkien.co.uk, but don't know if you can buy more then one copy or that they will be available outside the UK. "
I am in the US and I can confirm that i was unable to purchase the Deluxe TPR from Tolkien.co.uk because, "The item cannot be shipped to the country listed." I am not sure if it can be shipped outside the UK and just not to the United States, however.
I can, apparently, buy the Super Deluxe CoH, but I already have a couple of those. Unfortunately, my Oxford contact is no longer there to have the signed TPR delivered. Oh well, there is always ebay.
