It finally made it to the pre-pub stage!
https://www.logos.com/product/49541/theological-dictionary-of-the-old-testament
It may be just the pre-pubs that I am watching ... but it seems that after a few months of inactivity ... three or four major releases in the space of just two weeks ... If I ignore them then I will probably never buy them ... the prices rarely get better than this ... If I had known in advance (as Bob once said they would do with Pre-pub) ... then I could have done something about it ... net result: probably lost sales for not having advanced warning.

I ordered the top three that Martin lists and wish I had time to prepare to get them all. A warning certainly would have been nice but coming up with an additional $1000 for the month of December wouldn't have been likely anyway considering I still have 2 children in college. I will be able to get one of them and will probably keep New Studies in Biblical Theology but it certainly would be nice to add the TDOT. Hope my wife doesn't see this post[:#]
If one already owns the New Testament Dictionary of Old Testament Theology and Exegesis (VanGemeren), what value added is there to also acquiring TDOT? Can someone do a brief comparison of the two in terms of their content, scope, etc? Thx!
I wonder, would it be better to jump in on this now at presumably its lowest price in Pre-Pub, or wait until it appears at better value as part of a bundle or base package later on which might be better value overall in the long run? I suspect, however, that it might not appear in any bundle or base package for a few years, after lots of individual sales.
It's already part of one bundle.
For the same price ($399.99), you can also get the TDNT included.

Actually, no you can't. The $399 you list is a Dynamic Price, the Pre-Order price is $499.98...
Interesting bundle. How about dynamic pricing on the bundle since I already own the New Testament set? At least make it cheaper than just the Old Testament alone

As Dustin pointed out above, that is the dynamic price. The regular price for the bundle is $499.

I was hit by the same problem, so emailed my sales guy. He's been extremely helpful in allowing me to get these products without having to drop over $1,000 over a few weeks.
So, I'd suggest you emailing your sales person if you need help. If you don't have a sales guy, I recommend Mark Wheeler.
I'd like to know this as well if possible.

The OTDTTE is a very fine work, this work from my understanding goes into things in a much greater depth, one does remember that this work is about 40 years old ( not the translation but the work behind the translation, the German set was complete by 1973, if i understand things correctly). So if one assumes the scholars of the OTDTTE were fluent in German, all the key insights of TDOT should have found their way into OTDTTE, however there is of course always disagreements over contextual meaning and interpretations which OTDTTE may well have disagreed with or felt not worth mentioning. I have found TDNT to be very good. I had the TDOT on pre-pub but have let it go thinking for myself that OTDTTE will be good enough for now. I do think TDOT offers value and will contribute to what I have in OTDTTE, but it came up several months before I thought it would and just have to let it pass. Perhaps someone who has actively used both can offer you a better opinion.
