The Scholastic Store has put the Relaunch books Animorphs #1 & 2 on sale for 30% off! There is no date posted as to when this sale is supposed to end, so people should take advantage of this while they can! Links:
Animorphs #1: The Invasion (Buy at Scholastic Store)
Animorphs #2: The Visitor (Buy at Scholastic Store)
The odd part is that I don’t even see anywhere where it says that this is for pre-orders. (Could Scholastic already be selling these before the launch date? Hopefully one of our fans will be able to answer this!)
On an unrelated note: I’ll be updating the Project page soon (hopefully next week), so if anyone here has a cool community project they’d like people to know about, then please forward it to me (either by email or by commenting below). I’ll be choosing a select few to highlight for that post.
Until next time!
UPDATE: Thanks to Tara (who posted below), you can also get an additional 20% off if you type in SCIENCE as a promotional code during checkout. I saw the code before originally making this blog post, but since it said it couldn’t be combined with any other offer, I just assumed that was the case. Apparently, not so! So with this code, that now makes the books 50% off!
Important thing to note though: The ‘Science’ Promotion ends tomorrow (March 14th), so jump on this sale while you can!
We’ll also hopefully know whether these are for pre-orders or not by the folks who have ordered this already. Since I live in Canada, I am unable to take advantage of this sale, so I’m counting on you guys to keep me updated!
I ordered both, there’s no mention of any pre-order in the ordering process either. We’ll see if they get here by the end of this week!
Also a note, you can get an extra 20% off by typing “SCIENCE” into the promotional code box!

I just ordered them both at Scholastic’s store, because the combined cost of $12 something was way less than the combined cost of $18 something I would have paid at Amazon. Those prices include shipping. I cancelled my order of 1+2 with Amazon (but kept my order of #3 there). What I’m wondering is: Will the first two books come in a number of days, or will I have to wait just like everyone else?

@Tara, thanks so much for confirming that for me! I saw the code before but was unable to try it out since I live in Canada. I’ve updated the blog post above. Be sure to let us know if you get these books in early! 😀
@Jordan, that’s what I’m wondering as well. Hopefully either you or Tara will find out soon enough. (Also, if you’re trying to save on shipping, Scholastic offers free shipping on $25 or more just like Amazon, I think) 🙂

Oh, I checked it out and it only ships to USA. Sadface.

I wish I had known about the “SCIENCE” code earlier! Haste makes waste, I suppose. Oh well.

@ladysugarquill, I know. Very very sad. 🙁
@Jordan, have you checked on their cancellation policy? They might have one if it’s within the first 24 hours of the order (or before shipment). Just make sure the books are still on sale/in stock before you do though, so you can get the deal when you order again. 😉

@Issam: Nah, I’ll just take this hit… And be super-surprised if the book(s) show(s) up in my mailbox in the next few days.

It says stuff ships in 48 hours. *fingers crossed*

Just got an email confirming that the books HAVE SHIPPED.

@Ian, I’ve gotten a few other people saying that they are getting emails for shipment as well. I’m waiting on official confirmation before I make a new blog post. (Did anyone want to send me a picture of the books once they get them?)

The inside cover has black and white pictures of all 6 covers mid-morph, I can scan that so everyone can see #6 if you like.

@Ian, that would be amazing! Please send it to hirac_delest@hotmail.com and give it an appropriate title (“Animorphs”, “Hirac Delest”, etc) so that I don’t miss it in my junk mail or anything.
Also, may I use your picture for a new blog post? 😀
