    Picked it up at the local Costco here in the SF bay area the other day. They had a pallet-load of them for about $80.

    Yes, it actually weighs 19.5 pounds.

    Instead of working the extra time to spend $80 - $100 for this, just buy the 5 volumes at $5 - $15 (depends on new or used, paper or hardback) that are already out.

    But the new version includes something like 1,100 strips that are not in any collection.

    Also over half of the strils in the book have been very nicely colorized by various artists using watercolors, so even if you have the original (black and white) books, the new one is worth having too.

    And the colored strips really do look quite nice.

    Some of us are still boycotting that joint. Anyone care to collect some alternatives?

    Buy.com has it for $89.77.
