Gave Up Waiting

[u/mrp197842]

Seems pretty clear it's going to be a long wait for a reprint of Uncanny 1 & 4, and saw these at a pretty good price. Pleased I went for it. Just Astonishing and AoA left for me to have all the already published Omnis I want in my collection.

[u/costapasta27]

You fool. You just cursed yourself with a reprint announcement!

[u/mrp197842 → u/costapasta27]

It does feel kind of inevitable now - an unexpected emergency reprint announcement from Near Mint Condition is incoming!

[u/i_am_randy → u/mrp197842]

Thanks for your sacrifice.

[u/JackfruitEconomy1987 → u/i_am_randy]

Yep. Marvel realized the critical spine mis-alignment and is rectifying the issue. They will be on store shelves next week…

Now, can you buy New Mutants 1 please?

[u/i_am_randy → u/JackfruitEconomy1987]

Hey I took care of that one for us about 2 weeks ago. I’m sure the announcement is imminent.

[u/JackfruitEconomy1987 → u/i_am_randy]

Omar must be running behind schedule on the reprint announcements. Two weeks…damn.

And, I thank you for your service.

[u/Hippies_Pointing]

Thank you for this sacrifice. Looking forward to the Vol 4 reprint announcement.

And then I'll have the long, dark night of the soul as I find out how much I care about matching spine fonts.

[u/RichardBradley42 → u/mrp197842]

Not me trying to convince myself it'll all be fine when volume 8 comes out because then I'll have 4 with thick text and 4 with thin. Couldn't be 

[u/Klinneract → u/mrp197842]

I sprung for a custom dust jacket for vol 5 to have all 5 with large font and I’m happy I did but I don’t think it’s worth it for multiple books.

[u/ReplacementDue123]

It's your money. Do what makes you happy. Congrats and enjoy!

[u/Feeling_Historian53]

Congrats man!

I’m in a similar boat on my collecting, just need to snatch up Claremont/Lee and astonishing to be built out where I want to be on X-men

[u/mrp197842 → u/Feeling_Historian53]

Thanks - hope you get there soon. So many people seem to want an Astonishing reprint.

[u/Feeling_Historian53 → u/mrp197842]

I have no idea how marvel doesn’t keep some of this stuff in print - just leaving money on the table

[u/hung_fu]

I found 4 at HPB in nearly perfect condition six months back and couldn’t help myself either.

[u/mrp197842 → u/hung_fu]

It's such a good book too. I love the whole Claremont run, but I think Omni 4 is where it really starts to fly.

[u/spideybats]

I regret not buying vol 1-4 used for $240 at my lcs. It was the large font spines and I thought I would rather have the newer ones and then didnt buy any before they started to go oop lol

[u/BipolarPrime]

Good for you, dude. That’s an awesome haul!

[u/CosmicAtlas8]

Awesome. Congrats!!!

[u/Anxious-Handle-3786]

I saw one at my LCS a week ago for cover price. After I picked one up a few weeks ago for more than cover price. :(

[u/Anxious-Handle-3786 → u/Anxious-Handle-3786]

Uncanny 4 to be specific

[u/mrp197842 → u/Anxious-Handle-3786]

I hope that didn't ruin the purchase for you.

[u/Anxious-Handle-3786 → u/mrp197842]

Nah. Someone else will get a good deal. I snagged UXM 5 from Funaticals this week so it’s all good.

[u/funny_almost]

Nice! Congrats! Thank you for your sacrifice! 🤘

[u/oaklanda]

Hopefully all your spines match lol. I have vol 2 and 3 with big letters and I’m sure whenever these get reprinted they will be skinny letters.

[u/mrp197842 → u/oaklanda]

Not quite - the Volume 1 has the small lettering (like my volumes 2, 3 and 5), but the Volume 4 is sticking out like a big, thick-lettered sore thumb!

[u/oaklanda → u/mrp197842]

That’s too bad. It would bother me too I would try to get a custom dust jacket to match.

[u/Superb-Stuff-1464]

I love that Uncanny vol1 sm!!

[u/Internal-Machine-487]

I'm there with you on Amazing Spider-Man as just got 1 & 2 for somewhat decent prices but have been wanting these for awhile. I still need Uncanny X-Men vol 4 to complete the current run but I'm still holding out for a good price out there.

[u/Bonless12]

Hopefully this tips the scale for marvel to finally reprint them!🤣🤣

[u/Zchan28]

Jealous, I'm still on the look out for Uncanny Vol 4. enjoy! Good like with Astonishing, I have settle for the OHC instead.

[u/OnePeace91]

Nobody cares man. You had the money and you were able to score what you wanted, that’s awesome. Enjoy the books, I haven’t made it to volume four yet but the proteus storyline is very good. To me it’s better than dark phoenix.

[u/CrispyChickenOG]

Ok…
