Animorphs Relaunch covers and updates

[Gyt Kaliba]

$6.99? Ugh. I guess they have to make money somehow

That's like dirt-cheap though, even if the books are on the light side.

Yeah. And, inflation anyone?

[LisaCharly]

Actually, given inflation, if we consider the books to cost $4.99, we're getting a nice seven-cent discount.

Of course, if we consider the books to cost $3.99, we get shafted.

[Dameg]

Woh! Expensive... if all of them are this price and they re-edit all the series... 64 x 7 = $448 

[LisaCharly]

Given inflation it's relatively as much as the last half of the series cost the first time around. Don't know about considering exchange rates, though.

You know, I liked them all till I started hanging around the fandom.

I think this sums up everything pretty well

[Josh (J)]

I don't like the fact that they took out the taglines on the cover.

Like

"Some people never change... Some do."

J*Gasps* I didn't notice that! How dare they?!?

*gasps* How can they do that?! They're some of the best parts! My favorite one was "This is your mind without a Yeerk. This is your mind with one. Any questions?" or something like that.

Yeah, they could cut the oatmeal episode--that would really move things along.

But I loved the oatmeal! And I know that most people hated it, but I also 'liked' the Buffalo-human one. ( I don't like the Atlantis one though... what the heck?)

I do too! How often do we have wars with oatmeal? And I loved the buffahuman too.

[Essam 293]

The oatmeal book is so fun and action-packed, why would anyone want to get rid of it? AND the book adds in Gleet Biofilters for all Yeerk Pool Entrances!

BTW, found out some major new things today. We even get a look at the new Jake model! Check it out: http://bit.ly/cDWkQj

Perfeck

[LisaCharly]

Jake-model needs to rinse his hair, but other than that he looks fine. Can't wait to watch this webcast.

#17 may be my favorite of the silly filler books.

IN-THEATRE ADVERTISING??? Oh my God.

[SuperBlue]

I'm not really liking the new cover. I think they shoulda stuck with the morphing thing but with new models. Oh well, I'm still excited for the re-release

[Liz]

I lqtm'd at the "Gripping and Edgy" tagline being in that cute rounded font and bright colors...

The "outreach to fan sites" part of Scholastic's marketing sounds exciting!

[SuperBlue]

Scholastic will re-launch the internationally bestselling Animorphs series in
Summer 2011, starting with a six-book arc. In its heyday, the Animorphs series
sold over 20 million copies worldwide and was translated in 26 languages
and was turned into a popular Nickelodeon TV show.

QUE!?

[Stephquiem]

It was so popular it only lasted 1 and a bit seasons.

...Unless by "popular" they mean "people still talk about how awful it was."

HAH! I love the marketing spin. Hopefully there'll be no repeats of the tv show! :p

"Heyday"? Christ, we're old!
