    There are two big collections of Legion of Superheroes that collect some really great stuff. The Great Darkness Saga deluxe edition (issues 284-296, Annual 1) and The Curse deluxe edition (issues 297-313, annuals 2 & 3).

    There were plenty of non-Vertigo suggestions in the previous version of this thread, including:
    Green Lantern by Geoff Johns Omnibus vol.1-3
    Batman by Neil Adams Omnibus
    Absolute Green Lantern / Green Arrow
    Swamp Thing: The Bronze Age Omnibus Vol.1 (more volumes to come)
    Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus
    52 Omnibus (by Geoff Johns) - should have read Infinite Crisis and One Year Later before
    James Robinson's Starman
    Batman Knightfall volume #1
    Now, whether or not Bookdepository has them or not may be a different story. I don't know how many people who made suggestions normally deal with that source.

    What you came up with appears to be Green Lantern/Green Arrow: Hard Travelin' Heroes Deluxe Edition - Hardcover, but I believe it covers the same material. (Not sure if/what other differences there may be between that and Absolute Green Lantern/Green Arrow besides pricing and when they were originally issued since I wasn't the one who originally suggested that.)

    All-Star Superman. I'm not sure if there's an omnibus out there for it (though I'm sorta sure there is?), but it's worth a read in any format.

    Starman by Robinson, as I mentioned in the last thread.

    All the Green Lantern/Arrow stuff.

    There's the various New Teen Titans omnibuses, from Wolfman.

    We're seeing a bunch of material from the Bronze, Silver, and Golden Ages collected in omnibuses now, for tons of titles. Just type in a name like Justice League, Titans, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, etc., and you'll find tons.

    Honestly, I could recommend a bunch of collections, but a lot of them aren't called "omnibuses" so if all you want is that specific format, I'm not of much help here.

    Man, you've got to really refine your search on Book Depository else you get a lot of stuff not in stock. But I took a look and here are a few things I noticed.

    I'll second the Green Lantern Omnibus.
    If you like Aliens / Predator franchise, the Aliens vs predator Omnibus should be good.
    Some people love the X-Men Age of Apocalypse storyline. I personally hated it, but make your own choice.
    Planet Hulk omnibus
    World War Hulk omnibus
    JSA by Geoff Johns is good.
    If you've read the Dresden Files, the omnibus of the comics would be a good read. If you've not read the Dresden files, then there is an entire book series I suggest.
    I personally love Dr Strange, there are two Omnibus I would suggest there if you are a fan.
    There is also a Spider-Mam omnibs, one feature McFarlane and the other featuring Larsen. Both are pretty good.
    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.
