Eh, you had a good reason for bumping this one, so it's cool.
Alak, i know it's not the same as a hard-cover copy but I have a scanned copy of the book on a flash drive. It's too large to send in 1 email all at one time, but if you want it PM me and we can work something out.

Actually, that'd be pretty neat. I still want to buy the book, but I could use the digital images to make new Beast Wars sigs! Oh jeez, my photoshop's getting excited just thinking about it lol. I'll shoot you a PM.

Awesome TFV I bet some of the characters backgrounds are very interesting?! It'd be cool to find some of that dtuff out, but it's also cool to make it up, hence fanfics.

if you go to a walmart or another store you can get visa gift cards. I've used them on amazon and they work. I don't have a credit/debit card so that's the only way i can buy stuff off amazon

Once the book arrives, I'll try to reinstall my scanner/printer software. I think it'd be really cool if I can start making more Beast Wars forum signatures, avatars, wallpapers, etc. A book that big means more artwork to share for everyone!

I don't know what Omnibus is or means, perhaps the author? I don't know, I just got it yesterday so I have a lot of reading to do, precisely 373 pages of it! I found it at a comic book store.
Interestingly enough, "Omnibus" was originally atype of carriage in the late 1700's and in the 1800's. It was big enough to hold a lot of people, like a bus, and it was used in cities. Over time, the term omnibus just came to mean collection--not necessarily of people, but of anything.
Anyway, cool-sounding book! I really want to check it out!

My book came in today!!! I'm so excited I can't stop smiling!!! Despite being paperback, it delivered in perfect condition. I really wish my scanner worked because the biography pages are just made of pure awesomeness. If I could made sigs with them, heads would seriously explode before people can scream "EPIC!". Oh, man this is a good day lol.

I tried buying it off Amazon, but the Visa debit card I used didn't work.
Amazon claims that Debit cards work too. Maybe it was because it was a gift debit card with a pre-determined amount?
