    Absolute Carnage and War of the Realms are two of the hottest Omnibus coming out this year... and with much newer material nonetheless. I’m sure that those omnibus will sell out instantaneously as well unless they SERIOUSLY up the number of copies from what we have been seeing from these last few Omnibus releases.

    Really? I didn't know. Usually when I see them mentioned on YouTube videos / comments, forums, etc, it's people just being surprised that they are coming out so quickly. Most of the stuff I'd seen that seems hotly anticipated have been the reprints, or stuff like David's Hulk and Byrne's She-Hulk. I had no idea these were also so desired. Guess I'm gonna have to go the preorders route, thanks.

    So it's only TOW, DCBS, and Amazon for preorders, right? IST and CGN are just wishlists, right?

    Marvel's not great at communicating with their audience, but they do have outlets to share information. Pretty disappointing that they have made little effort to communicate with collectors. They must be aware that only a handful of product is getting to the shops, and these are selling out faster than normal, leading to an immediately inflated after market with scalpers taking advantage. I guess its time to start winding down collecting Marvel's stuff, as I'm not collecting for the stress of it.

    I received my shipping notice from IST on the Silver Surfer Omnibus I pre-ordered from TOW.

    Seeker, out of curiosity when did you put in the order?

    Victor> I would avoid Amazon. Amazon is fine for non limited items because if you get your book damaged you can replace it for another, but if by release the book sells out and you receive a damaged copy you're stuck with only the option to return it. With Amazon and the way they package there's a strong chance of some form of damage, especially with the weight of an omnibus.

    Last Friday night. I got nervous about this one and decided to preorder. I'll probably preorder the rest of my list through the rest of the year/pandemic.

    I'll probably be doing the same. I preordered on the 29th of May and still no shipping notice. The panic is slowly creeping in...

    If you sign into your account on IST, go to your orders and it should show up with status there. I noticed mine was ready for UPS before getting the email. There have been a couple of times where I never received the shipping email.

    TOW never updates past "Shipping Soon". IST serves as an accurate dashboard for TOW/IST orders. I wish they'd combine them into a single site with pre-orders.

    Hi, All,

    This is a newbie question –

    DCBS' current preorder month is for the June 2020 solicitations, for items coming out in August. If I wanted to preorder something coming out between now and those August books, where could I do so?

    Thanks in advance!

    – W.

    Once DCBS's order window has closed for a given period, I think your best bet would be Amazon or Tales of Wonder.

    Hi, SJNeal,

    Thanks for the reply. Does Tales of Wonder accept preorders, then?

    Cheers,

    – W.
