Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
Thanks for the heads-up on the Omnibuses - I picked up X-Men and the Ultimates - but missed the Starman Omnibus Vol 4 the first time around, so I placed another order and got that as well as Wolverine/Gambit HC. Oh well, what's $5 (the extra s/h cost)...

i have placed a bunch of orders with them without any problems, they always come well packed...shipping is a little slow after these sales every year though. sometimes it take 5-6 days to pack the stuff, but like i said other than that never had a problem

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
X-world sucks. I placed an order for Starman Omnibus 4 during that sale and never received it. Sent two emails asking for status...no response. Finally filed a paypal claim and got money back. Lame.

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
This thread:
http://www.comixtreme.com/forums/sho...d.php?p=818101 says they are going out of business and closing down. I filed a PayPal dispute... |
Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
Luckily I didn't order anything.

so, mine came yesterday, but I only got the House of M Hardcover...it said the others were out of stock, and gave me a code for a credit...I sent a message; I just want the money charged back on my card. Sorry if this turns out the same for you guys, i have never had an issue with them before, but I'm not happy about this.

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
Hmmm, both of my orders say "shipped", but only received an email/tracking number on one of the orders. They say shipped on 5/5, the tracking says 5/11

Still no sight of order #1 which was just one book. Website still says "shipped". |

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
Not sure if im sold either. I'd rather see this released in decade volumes. Just so I could get some great 70's stuff. And to compare everything to the 90's TnA

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
I don't like the slapdash themed Omnibuses - they don't make for very good reading experiences. The Wolverine Omni also falls into this camp.
The best Omnibuses are always the ones that have just one writer/artist team, collecting either a long continuous run and/or a single (preferably self-contained) story-arc. |
Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
So $125 is their new MSRP? I thought that would be only for the Golden Age of Marvel Comics Omnibus. Also, put me in the group of not being sold on the idea. If I remember correctly, the Captain Marvel issues included are really lame. Those comics were released just to keep the Captain Marvel name under Marvel Comics trademark and copyright.

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
Good I can skip this one, I got downsized so only certain ones I'll be buying that go with the series already started. This almost seems to go against what all the other omnibuses have been with one series or in the case of Wolverine in going with the one character. I'm just afraid Marvel will look at the poor sales of this one and cut the Omnibus program.

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
Did the Captain America Omnibus go out of print?

Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
I've just taken the plunge into Omnibuses with Spider-Man volume one. How often does Marvel release these, based on Wikipedia it seems like they wait years between volume releases. Anywhere on the net to find more information out?

I never got a shipping email but my order page says it shipped on 5/2. Still haven't gotten the package. If they try to give me any stupid store credit, I will be filing a Paypal claim as well. That's just wrong.

These guys deserve to be out of business, regardless of how many suckers (a.k.a. customers) responded to their "sale", causing them to be "backlogged". Companies like this are a good reason why I no longer read comics on any regular basis, though I love the characters dearly, and would continue: A)....if the stories were better (the last 20 years have sucked pretty hard, overall, for Marvel anyway, other than the first 5 years of the Ultimate line) .... .... and B)....if LCS's and 'net stores didn't pull shit like this Omnibus snafu. |
Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
I haven't even got a shipping confirmation yet; the website also claimed my order shipped on 5/2.

I'm going to try to remember the hassle of this (which I'm pretty sure I'm going to get, pursuing a refund) the next time something looks too good to be true. Lesson learned. :-/ The most insulting thing was the letter that said I was given store credit. It says something to the effect of how valuable this credit will be when they have another massive sale in the "near future." Which I'm guessing will be a going-out-of-business fire sale. Someone even hand-wrote "Sorry!" on the letter. Sure, that makes up for taking nearly $100 from me and sending me a $15 book in return. Damn, I expected to be pissed at this from everyone else's stories, but seeing that thin little package sitting on my doorstep instead of a box full of books really set me off. |

http://www.comixtreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52836 what sucks is, i had ordered probably 10 times during these sales and never had a problem really, other than a lsow shipping time. i had gotten probably 5-6 omnis for over 50% off, so they had been a good site before this last debacle... |
Re: Marvel Omnibuses you'd like to see
is the brubaker Daredevil 2 omni delayed?
