Is the OMNIBUS Hobby DYING Too?!

I've seen a lot of collectors come and go when it comes to statues AND the omnibus hobby, With the economy in the shape that it is, and collectors tendency to buy more than they read.... I had to ask, Is the OMNIBUS hobby DYING as well?

I’ve got more than 200 omnis and as long as they keep releasing omnibus titles I’m interested in, I’m still buying, even though I’ve ground my statue buying to almost a halt. Aside from the differences with prices and resellability, books are more fun to collect since you get active enjoyment out of reading them whereas statues just sit there and look pretty.

I love comics

[@Devillainous]

neither are dying, all collections from omnibus and statues to sneakers and funk pops have their ups and downs

[@warrenweaver6664]

I don’t know anything about statue collecting so can’t really say if that is dying or not. But Omnibus collecting I feel is going strong to be honest with so much stuff either getting reprinted or brand new stuff never been collected in the format getting released I wouldn’t say Omni collecting is dying or dead I say it’s more alive than ever to be honest.

The economy is dying so people have less money to spend on hobby’s IMO . FJB 🎉

[@TheNotoriousNemo]

never was an omni buyer, i stopped collecting statues last year. stopped buying comic books long ago about 5 yrs ago. I collect 4k movies and some pokemon cards

[@pisceanpaul]

I think it's not that omni collecting is dying, it's more that collectors run out of room. That's probably why they're selling books.

[@mitchschroeder1151]

No need to read your omnis right away. An omni collection is like a wine collection. You don’t tear into them immediately. The experience is so much better when you wait for the right time and you’re in the right mood.

[@kopper87]

It's the opposite for me, I started buying omnibus 2 years ago, and I've been loving it. So currently I'm only buying omni + manga.

[@mokswagger942]

I just started collecting Omnibus only a couple years ago and I can't even think about buying singles or trades anymore. So I'm still gonna keep buying until it becomes a problem financially.

[@DumDumDugan1911]

I started getting into Omnis right before the pandemic and have I no plans of stopping collecting them. I typically try to wait until they are around 50% off though to save money. I love the hunt of getting the best deal and I love reading. It’s a win-win for me.

[@jovanleonardi1574]

got a used bookstore near me, was buying tpb whenever i saw one i wanted. evetually stopped because i had almost every book i wanted, but then i got a used copy of moon knight omnibus vol1 at that shop because it was 45 dollars. i now have 19 and counting.

[@thunder5x]

I love my omnibuses especially the bronze age collections. I stopped buying statues/busts, but I will continue to buy omnibuses

[@Issa_Gundam]

Idk, I have to read anything I buy to justify the purchase. I’m a nerd so I also just like to keep up as much as I can while juggling work, family and all the other things life throws my way

[@chrisendozo7704]

I started my omni collection at the start of the pandemic. Since space is limited, I had the “what would I bring on a desert island” approach to make sure that I got what I really wanted. So I have to make sure it’s something I’ll go open up more than once. For the most part, I built up a collection with a good mix of characters and eras and actually don’t foresee buying any more in the near future.

[@nivekleveb8872]

Theres still a ton of stuff that could be collected in Omnis, especially classic DC stuff. I feel like this year and next year Marvel is doing Omnis of too much modern stuff that were either flops when they came out, or are easily available as trades and hardcovers. I'm still into it, but i have been buying less and reselling more in the last year. I hope the Omni hobby doesn't die, that's pretty much the only comics i buy these days and usually stuff from the 60s-90s.

[@deuce.1987]

Yo, I discovered your channel in 2019 and re-watched all your videos to train myself on how to approach the Omni hobby. I started purchasing omnis later that year and like you said, the reprints started coming through the next few years. I got into collecting at the right time, and because of the reprints I was able to get all the essentials. I'll continue to purchase omnis as long as they're instock and under retail. Gotta stay stretching that spine!

[@Indycowboy2]

Started a couple years ago and no plans on stopping

[@whysoblutube]

If there’s something I really need to read I’ll just borrow it from my local library. It’s been a minute but the last collection I bought was the fancy hardcover edition of From Hell, and that was like 3 years ago.

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

I love my Omnibus collection. I always wanted to have a library. I have a wall in my room that is nothing but Omnibus and a stack of them in the closet. I need to go buy another Kallax!
