I did see that, yeah, and that was the final straw for me. Especially since it was originally solicited at $50 and jumped up to $75 with nothing added.
Hikes in price, flimsy production, not a lot of material (not that I would mind material length if it was at least built nice).

No thanks; I bought the softcover Masterworks Vols. 4-6 to get the superior restoration. Golden Age Captain America Omnibus? Softcover vol. 1 has the same superior restoration while the second and third Masterworks boasted superior paper. West Coast Avengers Vol. 1 Omnibus? A serious downgrade over the PHCs in my opinion. There was a time when I lived and died by this format, but now I see them as cheap feeling books. There is nothing deluxe about thin paper. Money lost for Marvel.

My name is Oedi and I soar amidst the stars far from the planet of my birth. I guess this starship is the closest thing I've got to a home now, for I am a refugee and an outlaw. Vanth Dreadstar, Syzygy Darklock, Willow 327, Rainbow and Skeevo are my family. We are revolutionaries. Our goal? To bring an end to the 200 year old war between the Instrumentality and the Monarchy!
