Can someone who recently ordered tell me if this is the 2012 or older style elf? The book has the date on the first couple pages? Need the older.

2012 third edition. He is almost identical to our first elf that we got in 2010. We have two elves to manage 4 very energetic boys. His hair is a darker brown and his cheeks are a bit chubbier and although they are the same size, his arms are longer but if you do not have the two to compare together, I think the kids would not really notice. Even now, my kids still get them mixed up.

Yes the book itself is hard cover. The box it comes in is also hardcover, and opens up like a book. Inside it contains the hardcover book in a pocket on the left, and your elf on the right in a plastic display area.

My copy is the 3rd edition, but the cover is very different. I am guessing this might be the 2nd? As long As the description says 3rd edition, you should be ok. To be sure contact the seller.

No. It is from 2011. This one seemed to have more figures and ships than 2012, but I would rate both very high. Definitely better than the Friends series.

It's a mis-print. I just tried to update it. Shipping should be around $8 once up updates, give it a few minutes (2:21pm EST). Thanks!

Thomas, The Elf comes in the box that is shown in the picture. It has a magnetic closure, once opened the EOTS book is in a sleeve on the left-hand side and the Elf is secured on a shelf on the right-hand side. The box is durable. In my opinion the box is meant to store the book and the Elf once the Holiday season is over. It'll keep the Elf safe until it is time to visit again :) Thats what do.

I'm in the same boat regarding shipping and Christmas. Sine it's a gift for a teenager, I'm going to print a picture of it, wrap that, and order the sphere right after Christmas. Between two-day shipping and the other distractions of the holiday season, I don't think the teen will mind.

One seller is ThinkFast for $33.95 and one is ToysNGamesEtc for $32.95. Both share these same reviews and questions as they are fulfilled by Amazon and from the picture, LOOK identical. This may seem like a stupid question but does this mean both ones priced different are both the older elf design with the skinnier face? The reviewer that answered yes to this original question... which one did you order? From which seller I mean... Thanks!

well i know if she likes the movie she may like having her own elf on the shelf. it might be nice if she got it before Christmas as a kind of pre-gift. if she still believes in Santa and the elves magic im pretty sure she would love it. lots of different ages like them i know of. im just going on my option.

Jane, sorry. I looked at all the product details and there is nothing about what version or date is being sold. There's no information about the seller on Amazon, other than its positive delivery ratings. If you call Amazon customer service they may have more detail, or may be able to get it from the seller. Good luck.

The publisher says Feb 2015 but they also told me that it should be available before then, hopefully December because I'm planning to use it as a text for a class I teach in the spring. You can preorder it now. Thanks for your interest!! Tish Jennings tishjennings@virginia.edu

Thanks so much for your replies! It seems Amazon is shipping the old version, but it's fine and better yet, the price is good. thanks again!

Hi Ana, were you the seller? Why are you asking me? I would assume Amazon wouldn't be selling outdated merch? Some of the laminates I have purchased were of their older packagingstyle. Maybe they were expired??

I preordered mine and on my Amazon order page it says that "this item will NOT arrive by December 24th" I had heard mid-December but based on the fact that it will not arrive by Christmas, I'm not real confident in a December release.

My guess, (and it's ONLY a guess!) is that it would be the 2nd printing. It seems as if the entire 1st printing of the 4th edition was spoken for in pre-sales. Personally, I would go to Game Salute's website and ask them directly...maybe they could give you a definitive answer.

I got mine for Christmas last year after waiting several months. I would assume it is 2013. Anyway I love it.......
