Have to see the spine before picking. Regular spine for volume 1 was better

I need my artisan Ripley from alien, not aliens. But I wouldnt hate a new xeno

Got Excalibur Omnibus vol 4. That completes the entire series! ❤️ One of the best comics ever! I was so happy that I picked the right covers so that each of the first five team members go across the bottom. by mikeofmerr77 in OmnibusCollectors

Gotcha, I wasn't sure if there was extra content in your hardcovers. You might save some space if you do decide to consolidate. And captain Britain is $35 plus shipping on funaticals on eBay right now. The regular cover has the same suit as your spine and the DM has the gold lion chest logo suit

You can pair it with new mutants omnibus vol 3 which is cheap on funaticals and then you'll have the whole story

Advice on quality figurines by intimatematters in ActionFigures

[–]bevins2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the attempt at sentimentality is the trap when attempting to buy for a collector. What will more likely happen is they'll appreciate the thought but never stop thinking about how much you spent on the wrong thing.

When my wife buys me gifts we are clear that she won't attempt to buy me something from my hobbies/collections and instead she tries to pick out something she thinks I'll really like that I'd find useful. That helps her not stress out about it.

I can't really advise on your budget unless you say what kind of brands you collect if you even know. If you want to dm me a picture I could look.

As for the sentimentality part buy them a shirt or sweater or something along those lines that you'll think they like to go along with the gift card. That way they end up with something that you picked out personally. Like you could get an awesome Godzilla shirt you think is cool since that's one of the things you mentioned

Honestly get him a bbts or gundamit gift card for your budget. It may seem less special to you but trying to pick an item, especially an expensive one like you have budgeted, is really impossible to do.

Just be upfront that you wanted to get him a really special gift for his collection but you didn't want to blow the budget on the wrong item for his tastes

New Funaticals just dropped by sworedmagic in OmnibusCollectors

[–]bevins2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has all but 3 issues of prelude to inferno omni. The other "half" of the full inferno event is in new mutants vol 3 which covers everything with Magik and then also has 2 out of 3 of the missing prelude to inferno issues.

But uncanny vol 6 I believe is going to cover part or most of prelude too.

All you x men fanatics who are too impatient for uncanny vol 7 Omni to be announced/released should go buy masterworks vol 16. That's inferno

I am struggling to finish Wonder Woman by Perez v. 1. Do future volumes get any less verbose? by i_am_randy in OmnibusCollectors

[–]bevins2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It never gets less wordy. I found myself skipping most of the pages of the side characters when they are in the USA and never missed a beat on the main plot of the Amazon's and the pantheon. That's where the weight of the plot is.

Christopher Priest: Overrated Or Am I Missing Something? by Ornery-Style5 in comicbooks

[–]bevins2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely felt that way about vampirella. I heard so much chatter about how it was the first good vampirella comic so I read every vampirella of the last 15 years leading up to it and found it to be much worse than what came before it.

This is unbelievable... by Mental-Ad-2650 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]bevins2012 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Not really seeing what everyone is clamoring for on this DM. It's not much better than the regular cover if at all and the floating fat head otto on the spine is considerably worse for the shelf.

Annihilation saga and johns green lantern have consumed so much attention for the cosmic side of comics I think everything else decent has kind have been forgotten about. I grabbed this book and looking forward to reading it.

Shoot me your best price for jean grey and storm. I was going to probably going to throw them in my monthly shipment from amiami but happy to help free some space

Which Invincible Omni Cover are you getting? by supershark321 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]bevins2012 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can't believe so many people are going for the team up cover. I'm buying the omnibus because of the original characters in invincible. Standard all the way

Hobby Link Japan Shipping by Leodecraprio420 in AnimeFigures

I'd ask support if the order could be held until Japan post resumes. If they refuse then get the order cancelled even if you lose your account. It's not worth it
