Amazon blow out on Marvel Omnibuses

[Blue Meanie]

They changed all the prices...only one left that they didn't change was the Alex Ross Variant Cover Hulk Omnibus...so I ordered 2 of those. Let's see what happens.

EC library books are still listed at $14.99 - let's hope!

For another great deal Barns and Noble has the Complete Don Martin set for $22.

I got an email confirmation on our order, so hopefully they will honor their prices. I don't think it's right if they don't.

Did you ask for free super saver shipping or did you go for the 2 day shipping?

Free shipping! Saw that the prices are back to regular pricing, I hope they don't cancel the rest of my order!

I read somewhere it was a computer glitch. You would think someone like Amazon would be more careful.

WOW, wow, wow. I've never heard of these.. They sound spectatular, especially the FF Volumes 1 and 2. I'm still {..slowly..} collecting F/VF copies of the first 50.., but oversized on high-qual paper..??

Would LOVE to buy a second just to matte/frame some pages.

Cool! I'm a HUGE FF fan! Though to me the book is at it's peak from issues #41 and up.

For this money the omnibus books are AMAZING - but I wonder what you'll think of the reproductions after you see them. The restoration process required them to re-colour the books and separate the inks with very mixed results. FF vol. 2 is an improvement on the first one, but I think that Sinnotts thicker inking style may have helped with that as well. The glossy white pages and the recolouring give the pages a strange look, especially if you're use to reading original issues.

Keep in mind, I paid $100 each for the FF volumes so I may be a little more critical - I love having all these great issues at my fingertips in any case!

DC's Jack Kirby Fourth World Omnibus and Spirit Archives got great treatment, the colours look very close to the originals and both collections are printed on slightly off-white and flat paper stock. I'm hoping Marvel will eventually redo some of these with that level of quality.

The ship date on my order is estimated at March 29...seems odd.

Just received my Daredevil and Wolverine books today!! For such a little box they came in, it sure was Heavy! Felt like picking up a Bowling ball when I lifted them!

Also received an e-mail that the rest of my orders are shipping out too!!!
