Marvel Omnibus/Oversized Hardcover Discussion Part IV

[Captain Planet]

Few quick questions of the three harcovers that make up the death of Cap. Are there multiple versions of the hardcover? As in the sizes, Amazon has all three by 3rd party sellers, and lists them as just hardcovers, and CGN.com has them as premier HC which im just wondering what is different between them is there is any. thanks again!

There are 3 versions. The omnibus which includes the entire Death of Cap story, the 3 premiere hardcovers which are the smaller hardcover size and then 3 tpbs which match the premiere hardcovers.

[Awesome!]

Ah I see. When it opens like that and the ribbon bends I always thought that was sewn. Oops!

On the plus side, that's about as good as a glued binding can be.

Damnit! Then it won't fit in the large USPS boxes most stores use to ship internationally... I'll have to buy it through Amazon and pray it doesn't arrive in pieces...

Or you could just move to the United States and not have to worry about any of that!

<facepalm>

It just boggles the mind that they'd release a freaking Man-Thing Omnibus. I mean, who even knows who Man-Thing is outside of hardcore Marvel fans like us? Seriously.

I'm of the opinion that 95% or better of the Omnibus/MMW buyers are exactly that hardcore Marvel fans in the first place. Hence why they also chose Avengers The Crossing when one could argue there are half a dozen better 90's era collections to gather.

These formats are not entry level. If someone were to exit a film and ask for a good X-Men, Spidey, Hulk or Avengers collection you'd, I think, point them to a standard 6 issue floppy for $15-20 and perhaps tell them that online retailers have them for 10-30% off many times vs a box store. Hook them, not push them away with a $75-125 Omnibus.

I don't know anyone but hardcore fans that would buy a $100+ book.

Glad you got in at $69 as CGN has now raised the Captain America Vol 1 Kirby cover to $89.

Amazon now shows 15 copies left so they got a few more from the 3 listed this morning (little game they play sometimes). Give it another week or two and this title will truely be OOP.

Great! I will be happy to unload my copy.

Im hearing that ASM vol 2 is already OOP. Is that true?

[Awesome!]

No, you can still find copies everywhere. Just maybe not the Romita cover.

You're the Amazon man, check it out: they still have it and everyone else does too. So no, it's not true.

This, however, may be true.

BD.com has Mutant Genesis 2.0 in stock at 28% off: 27 EUR.

Since the 10% coupon ist still valid, that'll make it less than 25 EUR.

Still a way overpriced book, but seems to be the best deal outside of the US for those who are interested.

No kidding! You are the one that is supposed to know the answer to that.

Actually over at the MMM website they posted a thread of titles going OOP for all lines and publishers.

The Ramos cover of ASM Volume 2 is listed as one of them. So while yes it is still very easy to find a copy right now, the distributors themselves may be sold out so once Amazon, TOW, Instocktrades etc… sell through their copies they will not be able to order more. B&N already has it listed as 1 to 2 weeks shipping (Then again it is B&N).

This happened last weekend with Thor Vol 1and Captain America Vol 1 with those great Free Comic book day 50% and 55% off sales as Hachette had no more in the warehouses to send out and the sales accelerated the process of going OOP.

ASM Vol 2 could be OOP in the coming weeks as the stores run out of what they have. So if you are planning on getting this title it would be wise to do sooner and play it safe.

Edit: Gormuu meant to write Romita cover so this title is not in danger of going OOP

[Omnibus]

Titlles listed in that thread for OHC's and Omnibuses going OOP.

Again, does not mean you still can't find some at a great price but if the warehouses are out (Diamond & Hachette), once the stores are out, they are out. Then the secondary market prices start climbing depending on the title and popularity.

Hmm wonder why death of cap omni isn't on there

[Omnibus]

Hmm wonder why death of cap omni isn't on there

My guess is because it is already OOP.

The titles for the thread were that they are going OOP or in the case of Thor Vol 1 just went OOP this week with Captain America Vol 1 being right behind it sometime in the next week or so.
