Guess I'll be picking up TMNT v01 when I have the funds. My thanks to those who updated us on it's new release date. I would have completely missed this otherwise.
got my copy of TMNT deluxe and the binding is actually quite good. Not super awesome good but much better than I thought it would be based on the pictures.
If anyone is on the fence about the new TMNT: IDW Collection HC, get it. I got mine yesterday and I've already read half of it. The book is very well-made. True, the binding doesn't bow up so that the pages sit completely flat, but every single page has stayed open from cover to cover. I haven't noticed any gutter loss either, and I'm in the middle of the book. They include a very detailed table of contents with page numbers and credits for each issue. As you read, you get a cover with issue # and title before each issue, and variant covers at the end.
The book is completely silent as I open and close it. Generally I'm used to some sort of creaking or cracking with large books, especially if I think there is glue involved. This one feels very sturdy. It's surprisingly heavy given its size, and I think that's testament to the quality stock used and the very solid covers and binding.
It's been my first foray into TMNT comics whatsoever and I'm so pleased to be reading it in this book. Let me know if you have any other questions!

What is the understood meaning of Deluxe? I understand that to = Omni, as in Marvel/DC standard Omni size. If that's what you mean by Deluxe, it's those dimensions.
I'd take 'bigger' to mean Absolute, Admantium/Vibranium or Artist Edition.

anybody know if tmnt, locke and key, and kill shakespeare are the same size? im assuming they would be right?
This seems to be the norm for IDW HC's. I have 5 volumes of GI JOE: IDW Collection and they all vary in height to some degree.
Yes, definitely get the tmnt hardcover! Received mine this week and I love it!
