Calvin and Hobbes Hardcover Box Set - $88 AUD Delivered (55% off)

550

I love this box set and after seeing this in stores in Australia, I decided to check what it was online.

I would usually pay around $20 extra to buy locally for books this size, but the difference here was staggering.

55% off the regular price on amazon.co.uk and comes with a slipcase too.

If you are a C&H Fan, there is no reason not to get this.

  • Not quite as good as it was a few months ago, but still a pretty decent price.

  • This is an AWESOME collection! I purchased this off Amazon UK some time ago as well for a similar price, just be wary of the packaging. My order arrived with one corner soaked and tattered, so the outside housing of the collection was watermarked. Amazon gave me a full refund with no need to ship it back, which worked out well in the end. So, good luck!

    • Wow, thanks for that, booko seems great

        Booko is the BEST site for comparing book prices!

    • Suspect that's a paperback version or a different release - note that the amazon link has 3 volumes, whereas the booko has about 4-5 books.

      No, it's this one http://booko.com.au/9780740748479

      Different ISBN. That said, seems to be that it's a hardback (what you've linked).

      • Looking at the description on Amazon UK the four volume edition published in November 2012 is paperback (lighter box) where as the deal is for the hardback edition published in 2005.

          Just checked the booko links - Amazon links are paperback, but the Abebooks one says hardback… :D

        • If you ctrl+f for "back" on the abe books the description says paperback even if the side says hardback.

    • Different version, but same content.I prefer the 3 volume set as it is a bit bigger, but its completely a personal preference.

    • Use E46WK9 for an additional 10% if purchasing the paperback, US$ 61.21 delivered

  • Good deal

    Ah, good old transmogrifier.

    Calvin and Hobbes were like The Beatles of syndicated strips. The extent to which they were better than their contemporaries was just amazing. Apart from Peanuts, no one else was ever close.

    I don't even read the Sunday funnies any more, there's no point. Just the same outdated relics going through the motions.

  • Good deal. I bought it off Amazon few years ago. Was a bit pricy then, but this is one of the best things I own.

  • $91 to adelaide

    • Guessing it's because you're letting them do the conversion for you? If you're paying using 28Deg in GBP, it should work out to be about $88 as per OP's price.

      • I paid with my Westpac debt card. Charged $87.77. not sure why Adelaide is more expensive because I am all the way in Perth.

  • Perfect birthday present for my nephew. Thanks, Modokun.

      No worries! when you get it, make a transmogrifier, turn it into a duplicator and keep a copy for yourself.

    Do I need this? No.
    Do I want this? Oh yes.

    Purchased. Thanks Modokun

    And let's not mention the noodle incident.

    I paid full price for the three book set a few years ago, and still think it's a bargain. The set is just beautiful if you're a fan. If you're not, buy it anyway at this price and put it away for your kids' kids.

    If you are a C&H Fan

    I am a Cyanide & Happiness fan too!

  • I paid $140 for this before.

    I'm not even mad it's this cheap now. It's Calvin and Hobbes.

    Also, the box set is really heavy. Just a warning.

    • Yeah Abebooks cancelled my order, their shipping agent or whatever wouldn't ship it due the weight. Had the cheapest price at $68 total, such a disappointment.

    Update for anyone who ordered. Mine just came through today. expertly packed with padding on all corners. very happy!
