Nice. My Absolute Hush came in a protective cardboard box within the mailing box. 
First Absolute/Omnibus I've gotten this way.

Re: Any DC Absolutes in the pipeline?
They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel... Sinestro Corps War and Batman & Robin?
Okay... I can sort of see Batman & Robin, but that storyline is kind of useless without being taken in the greater context of Morrison's Batman run. Plus, DC seems to have fucked up what he was trying to do when the rebooted their universe with 52.

That Absolute Final Crisis is really a head scratcher to me... that series was pretty much retconned/forgotten a few months after it came out (the only consequence being the "death" of Batman), and that was way before the new 52. I guess they really want to milk Morrison fans or something. And who the heck is going to buy Johns' Green Lantern series in Omnibus form? I mean, I like the series, but the tpbs/hcs I have are good enough for me.
The last few Absolutes I've gotten have been in those white cardboard boxes... I think my reissue Planetary ones were.

Im getting it. This, Rebirth, and Blackest Night (eventually) will make a great Absolute trilogy.

Re: Any DC Absolutes in the pipeline?
Sorry for the ancient bump, but I'd just been talking about having the first two deluxe editions and gradually completing the set, and now this comes along. I'll probably pass on the size and price, though.

RELEASE DATE JUNE 16, 2015
CONDITION NEW
Retail Price $125.00
Y: THE LAST MAN, winner of three Eisner Awards and one of the most critically acclaimed, best-selling comic books series of the last decade, is that rare example of a page-turner that is at once humorous, socially relevant and endlessly surprising.
Written by Brian K. Vaughan (LOST, PRIDE OF BAGHDAD, EX MACHINA) and with art by Pia Guerra, this is the saga of Yorick Brown—the only human survivor of a planet-wide plague that instantly kills every mammal possessing a Y chromosome. Accompanied by a mysterious government agent, a brilliant young geneticist and his pet monkey, Ampersand, Yorick travels the world in search of his lost love and the answer to why he's the last man on earth.
This Absolute Edition will feature the first twenty issues of this action-packed series along with special script pages, character sketchs and cover gallery.
Collects Y: THE LAST MAN #1-20.

Now that they've jacked the prices up to $125, I hope they can get the quality control problems with these Absolute books worked out.

I've always thought the Absolutes were sort of a cool novelty but have never really felt compelled to buy one for the price.

So after so many horrible collections of Moore's Swamp Thing run, the first (of 3) volume of the Absolute edition is now available, and it looks great!

Awesome, finally a really nice presentation of these stories. I love Moore's run on Swampy, so these will be mine!

Not an Absolute, but anyone picking up the massive and fantastic-looking DC's $500 Crisis On Infinite Earths hardcover collection? I want it but that is a lot of coin to pick up something I already have most of in some form.

In Absolute news, I see DC reissued the New Frontier Absolute for its 15th anniversary this week. Cheap at Instocktrades.

I cannot imagine plunking down $500 for Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Or anything that wasn't written by Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman, or Garth Ennis, for that matter.

Re: Any DC Absolutes in the pipeline?
I picked up the Crisis set, half price pre-order. Same hesitation here, I’m sure I own 90+% of it in physical and digital. But Crisis is pretty much my favorite mainstream big two series ever, and much of my collecting foundation and positive memories are based on it and the series it builds off of. So after some hand-wringing, I bit at $250.
