Cardcaptor Sakura is back...in omnibus form!

[Arcademan]

From what I have gathered from Dark Horse, the book will be released on July 27th however most bookstores and sites will not have it available until August 9th. At this time, Barnes & Noble and Overstock are accepting pre-orders at $12.55 and $12.47 respectfully. TFAW.com (Dark Horse's sales site) has the pre-order discount of $15.99, which is $4 off the set omnibus price of $19.99.

Keep in mind that these are U.S. prices. Costs may be higher or not available through these sites for other countries.

I got the first omnibus edition - quite pricey over here in the Philippines, but since I'm now working I can afford to spend XD

Haven't seen the second omnibus yet, but while I'm waiting, I got the Clover omnibus edition as well. Can't afford to let another CLAMP slip past by.

Umm off-topic, but yeah I just returned to the forums after..... four years? o_O

[Arcademan]

Good to see you back. If you're looking for the other CLAMP omnibuses by Dark Horse, they have the two Chobits covering the entire series and next month, Magic Knight Rayearth.

[Hima]

Yep, saw the Chobits version as well. The Magic Knight ones haven't stepped on our shores yet, but even if they do, they can wait. My wallet has been grumbling. XD

Borders has both the pre-order CCS and MKR omibuses for $15.99 (which is the same as Dark Horse's shop site but a little higher than Overstock and Barnes & Noble) however Borders has a buy one-getone half-off code so that makes one of the book half-price at only $8. I ordered them  so I'm waiting for July 27th and August 9th to roll around

CCS Omnibus 2 now moved up two week to July 27th via Dark Horse Comics' website.

*shakes head*.

Oh-well, I don't have any money anyway

(had to buy new chair, then N.C.I.S season 7 came out so I had to buy it )

[Arcademan]

Forgot to mention...got my copy on the first of August. I'll do a comparison of it vs the TOKYOPOP version next week but it's pretty much the same as I wrote before

I got both of the volumes.  I'm impressed with the quality of the books' material, yet I feel that having a hard cover would have been a better choice.  The cover of the books is experiencing wear and tear along the corners like most trade paperbacks do.

Click this link to view the Cardcaptor Sakura: TOKYOPOP Manga vs Dark Horse Omnibus thread with my insight and opinions about both TOKYOPOP, the original Japanese and Bilingual versions and how the Dark Horse omnibuses stack up to them.

Thre thickness of the books (550+ pages) makes it rough on them over a long period of time which is why I buy two sets: one I use to read and references and the the other goes into my collection untouched.

The cover of the third CCS omnibus:



Publishing date is listed as February 15, 2011 but I'm assuming it's suppose to be 2012. This one covers books 7-9 of the original series (or TOKYOPOP's Master of the Clow 1-3).

EDIT: Found out that the third CCS omnibus will be coming out February 28, 2012.

[Arcademan]

Guess what? The 3rd omnibus is NOW available! Dark Horse moved up the date over a month. It came out yesterday

[Arcademan]

The 4th and FINAL Cardcaptor Sakura omnibus is scheduled for release by Dark Horse on September 26th which will complete the entire set. Books 1-3 (each omnibus covers 3 of the original manga books) are still available at many fine retailers and online places.

[Arcademan]

The 4th and FINAL CCS Omnibus will be available September 19th. Pre-orders are now being accepted on Dark Horse Comics website for $19.99.

[Arcademan]

BTW I do now own all the omnibuses (2 sets of course) however I'm a bit unhappy that Dark Horse changed the book spine of the 4th one so when they're together in a set, it stands out like a sore thumb. I'll take a picture of the set later to show everyone.

On a somewhat related topic, I manage to win on the cheap a set of CCS mangas 1-6 in French. Cool
