Kullervo is also on its 2nd impression. I was actually surprised, given it's such a peripheral work of Tolkien's.

In the case of Kullervo, probably just a small print run. The hardback went to 2nd impression within the first couple of weeks.
Thanks. Though how very disappointing. Nothing about this is consistent with the existing deluxe editions - neither the spines, nor the covers, nor the damn slipcase. Seriously annoying
Well that makes it an easier pass, unless they fall in price to a ridiculous level.
Honestly, they've put out 11 of these Deluxe editions in a consistent style, how the hell did they manage to mess up so horribly on this one?

It is a pass for me. This seems like a very low-effort edition. Basically it is the standard version made with a less durable paper covering and no jackets. Can't see the point of it.
Same here, thank you for the picture yee256, that put me over the edge... cancelled my order from SpeedyHen.
Very easy pass for me too. I had started purchasing the individual paperbacks with the John Howe illustrations on the covers, and I'm going to continue with this series. They are so cheap - the complete set won't be more than about $100 - and they will also look better on my shelf all lined up and matching; rather than this expensive set that matches literally nothing.
So I guess that was that :)

I've talked today with Amazon.co.uk and, according to them, it's out of stock. They have no clue on when it will be restocked. Besides, I had a preorder at The Book Depository for the same book and yesterday they canceled it as they didn't have enough stock, they said.
I just don't get it. I have never seen a situation like this.
