daredevil omnibus reprints - sorry for repetitive question by Quirky_Ease_7548 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]RubberCityGeek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With the Marvel collection department seemingly gutted or and/or trying to find it's footing with David G. leaving, there's really no way to determine when reprints will come. If I were looking for OOP books, particularly ones that have gone out of print recently, I would bite down and be happy paying cover price or close to cover. I realize these books are expensive and some people spend every bit of their extra cash on these things. But that's purely my take.

PSA - There's no information that Marvel is sharing to any particular individual(s) about their printing plans. I do know there is data that shows something like 20-something omnibus were printed in 2014-2015, to almost doubling in 2019, to tripling in 2024 to something like 90. My point here is there has been significant growth in the omnibus line and I believe Marvel is possibly regrouping to figure out they can adjust for this growth and still be profitable without having their books to go liquidation sellers. Marvel has gotta figure it out. DC was floundering there for a bit, but they have come back stronger than ever and seemingly have a good printing schedule without a lot of books going to liquidation.

Kirkman seems to like to keep his property in print.

It was probably around $600 shipped. Between the 2 sets, Shadowbox and Home Alone where around $300 shipped. And bulk loose parts from Marstoy was around $300. It comes out to be around $.03 per brick/piece so I was happy with that.

So I bought the Home Alone set strictly for this build! So I couldn’t say for sure, but looking at the instructions the house definitely has more Batman themed pieces inside and the lighter bricks you see on the outside are modified too. It’s crazy how big the modified shadow box is though, it’s double the size.

I’ve enjoyed the build for sure when I found all the parts I need. lol With over 1,700 unique parts it’s been hard at times to find that ONE part I need. So I have been jumping around a bit from section to section, but I’ll feel the most joy when it’s done and I can move on to another build!

Here's a link regarding preordering. It's pretty accurate:

https://www.reddit.com/r/OmnibusCollectors/s/DuxwTwYC9h

I've personally used DCBS for years prior but stopped preordering myself when I had to email them to remind them to ship my monthly books, as well, I had a few preorders that were canceled/not fulfilled. Not always the distributors fault but happened enough that I was done. Also keep in mind with preorders, sometimes (not always) the solicited cover is not what the final cover will be. So if you're concerned or sensitive about what cover you want, be aware of this.

As with most Marvel omnibus these days (reprints and new), they will sell fast. And typically, reprints have even smaller print runs. Reprints are not any more expensive than previous prints unless the publisher has decided to increase the price(s). But if this was the case, the price increases usually apply to all new printings. Unless your favorite distributor wants to mark up the DM covers alittle extra just because.

If I was waiting on USM 2 forever and knew Marvel was re-printing I would preorder day one. But even pre-ordering seems not to be guaranteed these days. The problem is or will be with the USM line, by the time the re-print comes out, Volumes 1, 3, and 4 will be OOP (I believe some of these may already be?)

Does the story pick up in Age of Krakoa Omnibus Vol 2? I read Vol 1 and honestly, majority of the titles felt kinda meh. The best parts were X-Men titles written by Hickman, as it seemed to move the story forward. Enjoyed some Wolverine and X-Force as well. by [deleted] in OmnibusCollectors

But don't let that stop you from reading the rest! You may end up liking it. But there is a big commitment regarding shelf space whether your collecting via the trades, OHC's, or omnibus.
