20th of Dec, but knowing IDW it'll probably be moved to the blackhole date in January with the other books like GI Joe Vol. 9 and TF UK vol. 6

I really hope so!!!
I bought several of the issues digitally because I was overseas and have been hesitant to fill those paper copy gaps because I've been looking forward to getting the slab edition.
I suspect with the vinyl figures just around the corner, maybe their just looking to synchronize the releases for cross-branding.

Dang! Those are some big ass robo-feet!

i liked the series a great deal (even though deadlines never mattered) and have been waiting forever for this edition to come out but , it's been so long, is it still coming out?

I missed out on this series when it was being published, so I'm looking forward to picking this up.

Yup, the art being essential here as a vehicule for the storytelling*, it's better to be cool with it.
*And Scioli realizes that with tremondous talent, which is far to be an easy thing to do. Regardless of the style.

The writing and art are two essential halves of the whole experience for this book. If the deliberate retro-styling doesn't work for you, you won't be sympatico with the storytelling style – one doesn't work without the other.

Is it a bad thing that I cannot get over the childish art style? I had similar problems with Ramondelli until he started improving, but this….I can literally do better. Is the writing good at least?

well nab this for certain.
Goldimus Prime
perfect

Scioli's been randomly tweeting out Joe/TF images on occasion for the last couple of weeks that aren't from the series, so it looks like SOME kind of sequel is coming up, even if it's just a possible one-shot or annual. I hope it's not just bonus material for this book!
HARD RAINBOW
Argh, I gotta wait forever for this thing!
I want it now!

Lol 420 pages

$50 is par for the course for an oversized hardcover containing 13 issues. I've seen similar-sized books priced at $75. And just the individual issues themselves, if you add them up, come to over $50, so getting them oversized for less is a very fair price.
But still, I would expect to see the actual Amazon pre-order price drop closer to $35-$40 as the actual release date gets closer. That's what often happens.
On the other hand, if it doesn't, I will still happily pay $50.
EightiesKid
50 is a bit steep, I was hoping for something more like 30-35, but I'll probably still get it.
Megastar
This series needs a sequel!
Predakwon
really hope that's not the only book between TF and GI Joe for Feb 2017…..

I love how Snake Eyes is just there, like 'shrug'.
