You could address this to Scott Allie in our next Q&A with him. Allie has said that there are some plans for deluxe editions for collectors, but not for a while to come.

I pretty much never buy comics hardcovers. Out of the several metric tons of graphic novels and trade paperbacks I own, I had exactly three hardcovers (the two Love & Rockets omnibuses, and Castle Waiting volume 1).
But I'm making an exception for the Angel hardcovers, and I will buy the Buffy hardcovers if they come out, even though I already have the TPB's and all the original issues.

I am waiting for Buffy hardcovers. We'll definitely see them sometime down the line, so I am not buying the TPB's. That would be too much money (single issues + TPB's + eventual HC's).

I would love Buffy S8 hardcovers! I always buy hardcover when I have it as an option, it is just easier to read, and plus it looks much cooler!!

I will be honest. Unless there's something exceptionally wonderful about the hardcover(s), I won't be getting it. I'm not a collector by nature (I don't collect the trades either), and I like my single-issues just fine (especially since they're the original prints, and therefore still have the goofs in them). A note to those of you who are having issues with limp copies: bag and board will take care of that right away. They aren't expensive at all, and will keep your copies nice and crisp. All of mine look like they just came out of the shipping box, better even, since the way they're packed into my bookshelf also flattens them.  |

Goofs? I myself will get the deluxe versions for two reasons; My single copies are already looking worn and yes, I've torn them, easger as I am to get to the next page. And, they have changed a few lines in the TPB, so it's fair to believe that those changes will be in the deluxe as well. Which means that I have to have them. And in case the change something again, I have to get the singles, TPB and deluxes. Simple as that. |

Ever since I got into comics with S8, I have always prefered to buy hardcovers for comics I get into (like The Walking Dead, After the Fall, Y: The Last Man). I wish HC's for Fables would get released as I don't want to buy 11 separate TPB's lol. I am looking into getting the HC's for Hellboy, Runaways, and Ultimate Spider-Man too. They just look great on shelves. |

Goofs? The errors in print. Like in #15 where there's the Leah/Rowena mix-up. Things like that. The changed lines don't matter too much to me, and again, I prefer the originals. Yeah, I know the goofs have been fixed in the TPBs and presumably the HCs, but I much rather have the original product with the imperfections. |

Really beautiful hard cover as well, and it collects the first 10 issues of the series. I believe the second one is coming out around May (waaaaay to long in between HC's), and will have issues 11-23. So there will probably be 4-5 HC's. |

I have the first Season 8 TPB, but I ditched them in favour of the idividual issues. Way too long to wait for no real bonuses. I've waited the painful wait for the ATF HC's but they're well worth it. I'd probably pick up season 8 HC's if they were nice, but I'm pretty happy with the individual issues to be honest.

Yeah, there aren't any hard covers right now with extras because it's only midway through the season. Scott Allie said they have something special planned for further down the line.
Personally, once I have my single issue I'm set. *shrugs* And I'll eventually get the deluxe edition when it comes out with all the extras.

I would love HCs! But since I already have the TPBs, I dont think I would buy hard covers. :/

I collect everything. So I do buy single issues as well as the TPB's for reference reading. I keep all first printing single issues in their bag/card.
I have the first three issues signed by Joss.
I cannot wait for a omplete Season 8 deluxe hardcover! You know it's coming eventually!!
