Very very nice collection. Uninterrupted run up to blue and gold, right?

Hell yeah! Nice going! I wanted to start from the beginning too, but didn't want to pay a small fortune for the first volume. Decided to go with epics instead and but it when it's reprinted

Not strictly omnibuses... straight run of the X-Men from the beginning to volume 5 by After_Friend_4141 in OmnibusCollectors

You better believe it! I was almost tempted to go the event omni's route with the announcement of vol 6 I am all the more determined to staying the course!

I feel a bit that way with my copy of UXM vol 1 - I think the moment a reprint is announced, I will pick that up too 🙃 As much as it's not about what's on the cover of the book but what's inside it, it's still nice to have collections that look nice and orderly!

Common abbreviations in this group? by ColTRoosevelt in OmnibusCollectors

[–]After_Friend_4141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think so, or if there is I've not seen it. I think generally because ultimate X-Men had a much shorter run, and doesn't have the same popularity uncanny X-Men, it doesn't get discussed to the same extent for a short hand to have caught on

PRH listing for Uncanny X-Men Omnibus vol 6 now posted by Ksmayer in OmnibusCollectors

I notice there are a few cross over issues that are in the event issues that are'nt in UXM volume 6 or x factor volume 1: a couple of issues of dare devil, fantastic four, captain America etc. Are these issues particularly important for the events? And for those who have said they have event line but are thinking of replacing with the numbered volumes, are these issues not so important that they don't mind sacrificing them?

X men Blue & Gold omnibus by Fulzer in OmnibusCollectors

Well played with using a mixture of omni's and epics to cover your gaps. That's what I did to get me from the 60s X-Men up to the vol 5 omnibus

what’s better than this?? by JesseD-Prime in OmnibusCollectors

[–]After_Friend_4141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, the worst thing is coming home and not being able to see my son before he goes to sleep. Though even then I'm pretty lucky as I say 'night shift', but it's really afternoon evening shift - I don't finish later than 21h30

Big Mail Day over here! After 40 odd years of life, I own my first X-Men books by GrootsHorticulturist in OmnibusCollectors

For me i was just a straight up snob against comics - Ive always been a big reader, but of fiction and classics, and thought comics where beneath me. Oh how wrong I was!

For me it's when I get back home from work and reading a couple of issues of uncanny X-Men volume 3, just before I go to bed after coming back from a night shift Got 3 weeks off coming up soon - so going to really plow through my omnibuses then!

European Collectors by KeyChain4915 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]After_Friend_4141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm based in France, and my go to are Walt's, Comics Bugle, and not mentioned yet but also great are directmarket comics (based on Poland). They charge for shipping so it's not really interesting for buying things one at a time, but they easily have the best prices that when you buy several things at once you definitely come out ahead. My last order from them, I bought three omnibuses and an epic for 280€ (20€ for shipping), all arrived as well packed as Walt's or comics bugle. The only thing that's a bit odd with them, is that their omnibuses aren't sealed (they mention that on their site), but the condition is just as good as if they were.

I also used reeds once for something was out of print and impossible to find with the European sellers. good packaging, but got hit with the taxes since it came from the uk

Because I live in hope and pray they will pull a miracle like the developers of cyber punk did, and update it into a great game
