  1. Did I ever mention I like pie as well?
  2. Again Pie - the only person arguing is you.No need to bring Wushy into this - he can (and has) spoken for himself. Check the posts after my first comment - they all agreed! This isn't about being a 'sage' or an 'apple' its about trying to not let people lose a ton of money. Its not 'everyones' Cheerios - just those that bought this book - which you would be one of. You are unable to NOT take this personally as you have a fair few runners in the race. Stop suggesting its just me saying this. Go back a few pages and look for yourself. There are a fair few people saying the same. Go argue the toss with them. If NWM is soo good, why are there multiple unsold copies of 2 + 3 sitting on the shelves here in Melbourne? If you bother to go back 10 pages or so,you will see I offered to buy them and send them over for cover - not one taker. This is a board and ES driven frenzy. I still don't know why you don't get the most basic of basic points. I love PP,Revival,TWD,Hack/Slash, even Punk Rock Jesus now I have read a few more. I can be quite happily positive about those books. This one I'm not. Carry On.Or not. Preferrably not.For everyones sake. First off, please read this for everyones sake. He seems pretty excited. Simon is posting pics to share his collection with us and you greet him with: Douchery. You have done stuff like this in the past to others. I've tried to explain to you like you were a big boy and now as I would a child and if you still don't get it, I feel sorry for you. "Hey nice books man, Grats" Even if you hate the books, try it sometime (thumbs u Guess we'll find out next week what kind of prophet you are. Tell you what, let's even give it an extra week. Its ok to have an opinion Andy. No one is faulting you for that but not everyone here is a speculator. A lot of us collect for fun. There's no one here who hasn't lost money on a deal or a few books. Advice is cool but trying to make people think they are stupid for collecting something they have a passion for and, "sell them now"(over and over again), is contemptible. I own four NWM slabs right now and maybe five soon. I'm not hoarding them so if it crashes and I lose a few hundred bucks, I'll be ok and still have some cool books from a great read. Did you check? Did you see him say they are for his personal collection? A few people commented that the variants were a turn off. I even said I hope there aren't anymore. That doesn't mean everyone agrees the book is garbage now. Your distortion of reality is alarming. Great. Understood. Now, genius, are you done bashing this book in its own thread?
  3. Andy, seriously, get ahold of yourself. Its like talking to an apple sometimes. Im sure Wushu is pround of those books and spent well earned change on them. Stop in everyone's cheerios. You do this all the time. Everyone here isn't as stupid as you suspect and you aren't the wise old sage.
  4. You can't say that for sure. You're ignoring the fact that its a take on a well known story and set of characters and its audience is people who grew up on the Spielberg and Disney movies. People love retellings, remakes, etc of familiar stories and characters. You've got 10 million people watching Elementary, a take on Sherlock Holmes with a female Asian version of Watson ffs. The timing of the price spike was exactly when the BBC and motion action buzz started though I agree its possible people could be longing for another retelling if its done well.
  5. I think you get a free rainbow with the mushroom variant
  6. I'd rather spend it on a hooker and coke
  7. Thats not in doubt. I have no dog in this race - and for the record AGAIN my issue is with retailer variants - and as these are are direct Image ones,you need to read my postings again. Snipe at my dislike of variants, in fact snipe all you want - I'm actually trying to help some of you - as a person who has seen quite a few "new Turks" type boardies that slink off into the night never to be seen again - and with empty wallets. Make it personal Pie if you want - it will not change the fact that you have paid a silly amount for your book to have a different colour cover. Aided and abetted by ES who saw you coming a mile away. And as he is the creator - its nice for them to have a win for a change. Again done with this - it is what it is - and what it is,is that you are sitting on a pile of stuff you waaaay overpaid for and the market, especially ebay is showing you. Bail while they still have any value left. Thats my last word on the subject. If anyone was making it personal, it was you. If you don't agree with Andy's opinion, you're stupid
  8. I'm not thrilled about the variants either and hope this is the end of them.
  9. I'm not talking about variants or market value of the books. Everyone knows you're not a fan of variants and promptly bash the book if it has any. Thank goodness NWM doesn't have any phantom covers PP is not really a story of its own. If PP tries to become mainstream media, I believe it will flop because it will always be compared to other media versions of the character. That's a lot to overcome.
  10. I just prefer to lean on a book that has value based on the book alone. Nothing else.
  11. I just read the first line. It will PP prices are based on speculation of something greater than/outside the book itself. If that flops, watch the dominoes tumble. I sold my two #1 slabs for $500/ea and glad to have the weight off my shoulder. Still enjoy the book though
  12. Keep em Simon (thumbs u Panzerfaust will bottom out before Nwm
  13. He sells 9.9's all the time to people who bought 9.8's and upgraded. Usually charges $100-150 more
