    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    Subtract 10%, so say $75-$100 less.

    I just got the 2nd Marvel Dark Tower Omnibus, but have a question. Is the green outer shell with the "pull tie" seal the permanent display for the book, or is there a different one inside once I pull those paper zip-ties? I'm certainly hoping that the torn open case isn't intended to be the permanent slipcover.

    The first omnibus is gorgeous though, going to enjoy a careful read of all of those supplemental materials.

    Inside the cardboard outer case is a slipcase containing the two books. It's the same size as the 1st omnibus.

    Shit! I thought the same when I got mine the other week. The outer shell was dinged all over. I ended up ripping the pull tab, and the book and slipcase are perfect. I wasn't too happy when I recieved it, but it worked out ok.

    I see the damage and that sucks. I believe it was caused by gremlins.

    Mine fared well, just the tiniest of crush on the top of the Vol 2 Outer case top, but it wasn't enough for me to even make mention of. These, however!!!

    Thanks for the info Simon (and Drake 1969), it eases my mind that I don't have to worry so much about this outer shell (though I'll probably keep it as added protection since it isn't UNattractive to look at.

    This seller is seller each of the Marvel Dark Tower Omnibus editions & The Stand Omnibus for around $50 each which is a great deal. The box I got was packed with shredded newspaper and was VERY heavy which allows the internal boxes to shift around which beat up the main large box and potentially causes the damage. Mine was fine, but if he ships each the same way, I can see how it would happen. He may have seen enough of these damaged by now to have adjusted the way he ships them, so I wouldn't fear buying them if you don't have them, just make note to ship them securely perhaps.

    I expect you are in contact with the seller?
    Yes, it's on the way back to them now and they will send a replacement. Let's hope the replacement one arrives safe.
    Who did you buy it from?
    From eBay seller named "dheader". For such heavy books it wasn't packed well. Not enough padding. Just some crumpled newspapers and a bit of bubble wrap. The Dark Tower set was also in there and luckily that wasn't damaged.
