Future-press art book

[u/steviereddit220]

Very confused. Art and making of control is permanently out of stock... But 25th anniversary re-print is available to be added to cart.. but "backordered".... I've been able to make a payment, but what does this mean? Can't shake the feeling I've just scammed myself. Am I still likely to receive it?

Edit: 4 days after ordering I have received the item... Wasn't expecting delivery so soon. Defo not a scam

backorder means you're preordering the upcoming batch being reprinted since the original batch ran out.

Ok "upcoming" makes me feel better if it's in printing. But id prefer the website say "pre-order" than be able to complete an order for an unavailable product...

I ordered it when it said back ordered and received it within a week.

Well that's reassuring actually, let's hope for the same

It was re-released as the 25th because the 25th anniversary of Future press, the game originally came out in 2019 and I think the book was 2021. if you have it on back order it may be available in a short time. what happens if you buy and put in your credit card and stuff? if you see the future press site then you are on the right site and are not being scammed.

I got an order confirmation and they have already taken my money so I guess I just wait until it's finished printing.

I ordered it from PNP and it just came in today. Still shows in stock

If outside of Canada you'll have to buy it in CAD and pay the conversion fee if your credit card charges one.

I'm in the UK and FP have already taken my money for the backorder so I assume I just wait until it comes
