Quick Useful Sandman Slipcase post
A hasty post...
There's a slipcased set of Sandman on the way. It's going to be published in November. I'm so happy. This is something that I have been asking DC to make for a very long time, and I am genuinely thrilled it's going to exist. It will look almost like this. (If you look carefully you'll notice that the final book in the box shown here is not The Wake. That's because that edition of SANDMAN: The Wake has not been published yet.)
(Here's the Amazon listing for it -- they've dropped it from $200 to $125. And I'm sure there are other such deals elsewhere on the web.)
DC are also going to be selling the Slipcase with some copies of The Wake. So if you have the rest of the books already, you can simply put them into the slipcase.
According to Bleeding Cool, retailers have until this weekend to get their orders in for November to guarantee that they'll get them. So if you want one, either if you want a copy of The Wake with a Slipcase, or the set of all the books, you should talk to your Local Comic Shop now. (How do you find your local comic shop? You could always use http://www.comicshoplocator.com/)
(The current edition of paperbacks contains the same colouring as the Absolute editions, although, obviously not all the extra material in each of the Absolutes. If you already bought the Absolute Sandmans 1-4, feel proud of yourself. You are not required to buy the books again. You are never required to buy again what you already have.)

If I weren't so poor... gah. This will be an instant purchase the moment I have the funds. Congrats on getting your wish for the slipcase!
Excellent! :D Now I can get all the books at once, and have a pretty storage cover for them too. I am so excited. x3
Bummer. I was in the process of purchasing the Absolute Editions. I bought 1 and 2 several months ago with every intention of buying 3 and 4 in the future. But now Absolute Sandman 3 (why 3?) has gone out of stock, and nowhere can I find it for less than $170. If I had known to wait a little longer, I would have bought this rather nifty-looking and overall-more-sensible-on-a-college-student's-budget slipcase edition. Now I have an incomplete set, and I am not quite sure how to proceed. I suppose I might try to resell Absolute 1 and 2, and wait until November.Despite the aforementioned inconvenience, I think this version looks stunning!
