  1. The isn't one for Force Awakens so maybe they're just sticking to the main title now?
  2. No point looking at Ebay at all. Today is the 1st day in 12 years I haven't had a sale on Ebay
  3. From what I was told, yes, they pay their price for the incentive copy. Again, from what I understand, if an incentive variant does not sell to how many they printed, these are made available a few months later through Diamond and you can just order them like a regular comic.They are not going to just let printed material go to waste when they could sell them. Sometimes they give them to people on the creative team as well. Certainly creators get comp copies. As for ordering them, I wasn't aware that was possible. What does Diamond charge if you order just the incentive? You can't order only the incentive when it's first released. You do have to order 50 or whatever, then your 51st copy is the incentive and you pay cover for that. That's why retailers like them because they can get pretty close to even if the incentive sells then the regular covers are gravy. Believe me, there are next to no 1:50 incentive variants selling for the cost of 50 regulars
  4. Midnighter #1 & Starfire #1 are drying up in the UK. May be some heat to follow?
  5. thats when you make the "hard" judgement call to get 3 less copies of Convergence... I agree with both of these comments. (thumbs u He probably wouldn't be paying for them until this week or maybe in a month, if the guys pre ordered the 1:50 for $25 it's a bit of a bad move not ordering 3 more
  6. The usual, order as many as you like if you order more than a previous comic. For example: To qualify for Secret Wars #5 & #6 Action Figure Variant you have to exceed your order for Thor #1 by 125%. So if you ordered 10 copies of Thor #1 you need to order 13 copies of Secret Wars #5 to get as many of the variants as you want
  7. Uncanny X-Men #600 - 3 different AF Variants Star Lord & Kitty Pride #2 - 1 in 25 AF Variant Secret Wars #4,5,6 Star Wars: Lando #1
  8. Captain Marvel & The Carol Corps #1 has 1, presumably Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel & The Carol Corps #2 has 1 but oh dear, it's a 1 in 25 variant. First time they've done this ratio I think
  9. is there anything special about the Newstand copies of Valiants, I've just found a load
  10. That is one of my favorite AH covers I like the "You might also like this" section below with the same comic B.I.N $1 cheaper
  11. Do you know if the #4 was featured in an Order Update from Diamond? Just curious because in the actual retailer order form when #4 was solicited there was no mention of an action figure #4 variant. Yeah, the way retailers have to order some Marvel variants is rather confusing, a certain percentage of something previously ordered, the stores I have talked to hate it that way, I can only imagine how many others do as well. It was an order update as was issue #5. #6 is in previews
  12. order had to be exceed 200% of orders for Original Sin #8 (If I remember correctly) with the regular Star Wars #4 and then order all you like of the AF variant. So for some shops it's a 1:1, some shops wouldn't have ordered. Same for the #5 variant which wasn't in previews
  13. From John Email 1 "I'm about to board a flight, which seems to be at a bad time considering the book is about to sell out. I had NO IDEA it would sell this fast, and it's because of people like you, who have been so cool and patient that I want to make sure I take care of you! Since I haven't had a chance to respond to your email, I've set aside some books to make sure those of you who emailed me before the sell out get your copies!" Email 2 "Matt Unfortunately we are not offering any discounts. Although the book sold out, I've held some aside for the people I hadn't got to"
  14. The NYC con variant and la mole covers haven't picked up heat because they aren't being pushed online as having low print runs. The regular issue of Batman 35 sells for 10 to 15 bucks. To assert that the combopack wouldn't sell for more than 10 dollars if it had a high print run is absurd, because while it has nowhere near the print run that e-hucksters claim, it still is significantly lower than the regular first print cover, which means it would sell for more than the first print, especially if, as you claim, people are purchasing the book because they actually care about what is happening within the pages. But look at the single digit Batman issues with combo pack variants. Most of the single issue Batman regular covers sell for at least 10 or 15, but their combo-packs don't sell regularly at 40 dollars or more, nor do they sell anywhere near as often as Batman 35 has done in just one week. Hell most of those early Batman combo packs have only one or two listings on eBay at any given time. Arcane has sold 60 plus copies of the Batman 35 combo just through eBay since the end of January. That doesn't account for their in store sales or the sales through their own website. Knowng that you still want to defend the idea that the print run of the 35 combo-pack is in the hundreds? Nonsense. Not defedning the print run for bats 35, i have mo idea what it is for the combo, i am however behind the idea that the reason it sells is because of jokers origin, which has never really been told before, to my knowledge, and also because it starts end game. I dont know about the rest of you, but this joker origin is insane, if it does stay cannon this book will surely appreciate over time. It gaved me chills reading all those, 35 to 39, batman issues, specially jokers "origin" That doesn't make sense, the combo pack is sealed so to open it to read it is knocking the value down. So there's no point buying the combo pack at an inflated rate to read
  15. So her 1st appearance is a reprint, her 2nd appearance is her 1st appearance and her (tied) 3rd appearance is 2 cameos that appeared before both of those?
  16. NM+ with 2 nasty and 1 not so nasty colour breaking spine cracks only $1499
  17. couldn't sell mine here for $12 (thumbs u Not sure the films going to go down too well. Apparently you have to go back 3 months later and pay $3 extra to see the last 20 minutes
  18. Probably not heating up but should be Key Issue RIGHT HERE
  19. Nope, 2 months earlier Previews magazine had the solicititation for Avenging Spiderman #8 so there's your 1st appearance of Captain Marvel
  20. Crikey! I saw the title of this thread & thought I'd stumbled upon an ebay auction "Birthright- Skybound Comics- Joshua Williamson (NAILBITER, GHOSTED), artist Andr, Not CGC, walking dead, 9.8 HTF, hot book, film tv show"
  21. Who said anything about Wolverine 80 being a first? God help us all if the Diamond/Marvel Previews issue for Wolverine #80 had the panel with the test tube in
