I'm trying to figure out if I should pick these up as TPB or wait for an omnibus.

Both of these books are hardcovers, and are well worth the price that they sell for.

Stan has mentioned that eventually they will be included in an omnibus edition, but no telling how soon.

The answer you seek is found in this thread: http://www.usagiyojimbo.com/forum3/view ... f=2&t=7567
Stan Sakai wrote:The plan is to publish Space Usagi, Senso, and Yokai in an omnibus edition. It will not be called "Saga" though, because they are not part of the regular UY continuity.
As for the title, it sounds like they settled on a name.

As Steve noted, we haven't been given a timeline for this release. Since Saga 6 comes out in April (covering tpb #23-25), and Saga 7 in September (tpb #26-28), I'd guess Legends could possibly drop early next year, as there won't be enough new material to fill another Saga book until probably mid to late 2017 (tpb #29 is already out, tpb #30 comes out in July, and I'd assume about an additional year before we see tpb #31). So I think Legends would be nice to fill in the gap between Saga books 7 and 8. Then it'll be a painful 3-year wait for each additional a Saga book! :shock:

I'm still hoping Stan will feel inspired to write six more Space Usagi limited series and then release one massive Saga-length hardcover of JUST Space Usagi :D
