Arkwright Integral finally arrived In the less than two metre walk from unwrapping it to shelving it, managed to trip up, whack it off a door frame, and bash one of the corners in Not the most expensive of books, but sucks all the same. Stupid lousy clumsy feet

[Widowmaker]

When will we get Buscema's Conan collected in large format ?
Doesn't need to be Colossal, omnibus or library size would do it...

Love the run but can't see myself collecting the dozens of anemic tpbs and slim hcs...

Hey, guys, did all of you who ordered the hardcover Usagi Yojimbo Saga Volume 1 from Amazon.com get yours eventually? I canceled mine back in the day to get it elsewhere for fear they would end up not stocking it, so I'd like to know if it's safe to keep my Amazon preorder for Vol. 2 or if I should do like I did before.

Hold on a while longer for volume 2. My copy from Forbidden Planet arrived on Friday, so I presume Amazon won't be long behind.

I got my copy from amazon.de. But I've pre-ordered the next volumes at cheap-comics.com, just to make sure. However I believe they upped the print-runs for future volumes quite significantly.

Yeah upped to 1500 copies when first volume had 900, right? Not that much when you think about all those collectors craving for limited book like this one.

Got mine from amazon.ca when amazon.com was already out of copies.

I pre ordered 2 just in case 1 gets damaged, last time mine had a bumped corner and i had no way to replace it.

Ps i was just checking the date on book 2 and noticed fanta has reissued the special edition 2 book set slipcased, albeit in paperback

I wonder how many hardcore collectors in the world do not know of this forum. I like the "bought 2 just in case" approach (had the same issue with vol.1 on amazon) but you probably won't find many "normal" collectors doing this. Great place here! :-)

[ShooCat]

Thank you four your replies, guys. I chickened out again and bought it somewhere else. Please let us know if you get your copies from Amazon, though.

[Anjohl]

Does anyone else hate Dark Horse's HC bindings? They are the WORST kind of cheap chinese bindings, you can hear them creaking as you read them. I LOVE their paperbacks tho, Savage Sword of Conan FTW!

I got a copy of Vol 2 straight from Mr. Sakai at a con today. I posted some pics here: http://community.comicbookresources....l=1#post982972
