Finished this a few nights ago...man I can't wait for the next edition. However I do wish there were more comments from Breathed, they seemed to be sparse.

Well they finally shipped mine today and then I noticed the price went down to 23.39, but they havent offered me a credit.

Mine shipped 2 days ago and today I was offered a small credit. .18 I think.

Anyone else notice the censored versions of some strips?

are you sure you mean censored.

I thought I read that BB actually changed some of the strips himself in previous compilations.

And why would you say censored, do you know that someone edited the strips to be different then what BB intended?

Strips were changed in syndication over the years. It just depends on where IDW got their source strips (i.e., IDW did not change them for this book) The other books put out over the years have variations as well.

For instance: in one case "God" is changed to "Gawd," "Birth Control Pills" is changed to "Pills"...I'd say 'censor' is the right phrase....Maybe not in a few cases, but most of them look suspect in this regard.
Counted about 10 of them in total.

EDIT: oh and I say censored because one of them has a line to dialogue with a curious gap between the words and the line (no gap in the originally collected version) and another has mysterious gaps and un-matched printing in the dialogue--which looks like a really BAD editing job.

Two were in a different arrangement (Opus and Steve at a bar, bemoaning Steve's unrequited love--this "new" arrangement did, actually, make more sense, though).

received mine today and Amazon mailed it out in a thin envelope so of course its dinged, bowed and the bookmark was ripped out. I requested a new one and this one is being mailed back.

Interesting. I ordered mine from Amazon and it arrived in a box. Not sure if it was because I'm Prime.

I thought of that. But I have had many items shipped free in boxes or at least "wrapped" with cardboard. The new one is on it's way and the old was dropped in the mail this morning.

So far no credit on my order.
I've looked on amazon but can't find a place to request a refund on the difference.
anyone have any help on this?

They don't automatically do it after the item has already shipped out I do believe. I think it's only if the price drops on a pre-order before it's released.

You'll probably want to contact their customer service and duke it out.

The did for me on this and the Snow White blu-ray, both this past week. Got the credit posted (and unsolicited emails from Amazon) after I already had both in hand.

whotony, check that Snow White thread in the Blu-ray forum, I think there is an indicator in there of who to email @ amazon.

Well, I meant if the price changes after they ship it. but perhaps you were talking about an instance of the price changing after it shipped and I just didn't get it....

I was just checking my Amazon pre-order for Volume 2 and see that it's no longer available for pre-order.

Did the first one not sell well enough and that's all we're getting?

my preorder is still there, just may have sold out the initial listing.

It was one of the 14.99 titles so maybe they are still getting that issue worked out. I cancelled my preorder and reordered at 14.99. They cancelled that one and gave me a $25 credit.

when was it $14.99?

it was 14.99 with all the Marvel Omnibus 14.99 titles. It was a big price error. Happened last weekend.

It's actually 10.79 on Barnes And Noble right now!

I'm seeing $10.11, I guess I'll send a note to amazon on this.

That's what's happening.

Apparently, the "$14.99 Omnibus" fiasco that happened over the weekend is the fault of Diamond Comics' book distribution arm and Amazon is mighty pissed at them and has pulled all of the books they get stock them until this is worked out to Amazon's satisfaction.

What was the fiasco?

www.bleedingcool.com has documented it all pretty well. There are a couple of threads on DVDtalk too. Search for Marvel Omnibus.
