    YES!
    Thank you for ranting on everyone's behalf 😂
    I've got a spreadsheet where I was trying to categorise stuff and I've already decided I'll have to combine "Absolute/Library Edition" as they're about the same size (usually), and I was categorising DH library editions as "Deluxe" before, but they are way bigger.
    But now I think of it, they're not slipcased... so maybe I need several more categories... Aaargh!
    As you say, best to always check the dimensions :')

      My pleasure! 😂 Careful with those library editions though as believe it or not the are not universal; the Hellboy ones are the standout as they are shorter and wider than all others and there’s one or two others that have sneaky changes. Good luck!

      I have a couple of Hellboy's :')
      Trying to keep an eye out for the rest at a good price XD
      I was thinking of creating a "slipcased" category, but then that's inconsistent too, as not everything is Absolute sized and some are even bigger so don't fit in a kallax 🤦🏻‍♂️ I'm looking at you, Parker Martini and Walking Dead Omnibus 😒
      At the same time, I still wouldn't call those monster-sized, which I'd reserve for my Marvel Platinum, X-Men Adamantium and Complete Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Deluxe* edition.
      *Yes, I looked it up... they called it a "deluxe"... it's 36.58 x 6.6 x 45.97 cm... I give up 😂

    ive definitely been fooled a few times with "deluxe" in the title...ALMOST bought the James Stokoe godzilla DELUXE before I realised the zide

    I have always found it amusing in the community when people get a thin marvel omnibus and say “it’s not a omnibus” when technically it is 😅
    But hey I say who cares as long as I can read the darn thing

    my "normal" size Godzilla by Stokoe, is actually taller than Super Spy, so its bigger than the Deluxe version of Godzilla. thats insane...

    Maybe Deluxe refers to the price tag😄? I’m sorry but I enjoyed your distress quite much. Such a good rant about an issue we all face.

      Showing your sadistic side there mate! 😂 glad you enjoyed my pain though!

  • @luisricardoguerrerorodrigu1968

    I share your feeling, but on the opposite side since I purchased the Alex Raymond Flash Gordon collection and they are huge! They don't fit in any of my shelfs. 😢

    Assumption is the mother of all f*ck ups 😂 this is why I always check the dimensions. So I can just be disappointed with the different kinds of paper quality. And binding quality. 😂

      Don’t even get me started on binding and paper! 😂
