The thing that bothers me about this moment is not that [the character] doesn't die (def did not want that under any circumstance), it's that there are 5 million options they could have went with. How is it possible that Filoni was unaware of this same s*** happening in Obi Wan? I know he didn't have any substantial/credited involvement in that show but you'd think he'd be aware of all the productions and someone at SW Story department would have flagged it. [The character] could have had a Finn slash or something. It was an unneeded cliffhanger. I think any general SW fan can enjoy "Ahsoka" without TCW/Rebels -- to a good degree. There are probably a lot of people more hung up on the fact that half the audience knows more than them and thus puts them in a mindset that it cannot be enjoyed enough without it. Now, if it were me who had never seen the animated stuff these two eps would have had me running back immediately to check them out, but I am predisposed to love all this.

Thought the first 2 eps were a real mixed bag. For every one thing I dug there were like two things I was iffy-to-upset about. My expectations were tempered -- never thought it would compete with "Andor" in the writing department (unfair to expect that imo) -- but I was confident that these characters, some of my absolute favorites in all of SW, would be brought to live action with extreme care considering their daddy was calling the shots. Well, that confidence was crumpled within the first 20 minutes and sadly it did not un-crumple by the end of the 2nd episode (even though we got some good Hera and Chop near the end). Don't like to trash talk or dwell in negativity with SW. Glad most fans seem to be happy so far. I hope the show finds a groove as the series progresses so I too can be happy!

They probably would not let you create the invoice/submit online if they reached the cap. FYI, they also claimed the last signing (when Momoko was at SDCC) would be capped and I had no problem submitting at the very last minute.

Weird, because it doesn't even look like Clarke -- like at all! Wonder if she just didn't want to sign a book where her character wore hair for a bra.

For the price that you are going to pay for the Keaton sig, what's another $20 to press for a bit of grade insurance? I'd definitely press.

Canceling a sale is pretty heinous move -- don't post unless you have a grip on thevalue. If the reasoning is that they found out it was worth 50x more than they posted it for then ok, I get it, but don't these DCU logo variants mostly sell for a few hundred max in 9.8? Are they just dream-pricing here?

Yeah, weird. Anyway, blocked now!

Doesn't come up as a valid username when trying to add to block list.

So you have sold books at same listing price as you would have on ebay? Have you accepted offers? If the fees are less wouldn't you expect the asking price to also be less? Like I mentioned earlier -- at least in my experience -- the books I'm looking for are never listed at a lower price than the bay. Anecdotal, admittedly!

I like the shortboxd app and basically only use it for their handy historical sales data which goes much further back than ebay's 90 days. Would definitely be down to make a purchase there, but two things: 1) I have never seen a listed price on boxd below the lowest ebay price, and 2) have never received a response off a single offer. Don't understand how the app still exists.

Great move! Even the most cynical among us can't grumble about this, surely...

Did you check if has left negative feedback for sellers in the past? I'd eat the return shipping and force the return because this is the exact ploy they use to milk sellers -- threaten a return, usually for an amount that the seller would consider "an acceptable loss."

7 PRESCREEN MODERN Delivered: 7/10 Received: 7/24 Quality Control: 7/28 I think this is the first time my cc has been charged before "Shipped" status -- certainly the first time I've noticed it. Weird number, $171. I assume only 5 passed the screen but that total doesn't math with any combination of slabbed/rejects. Unless the reject fee went down a buck.

Interesting. So Marvel is the middle man throughout the entire process? The retailer always orders, "1 cover for issue x from artist x, please!" and Marvel handles everything? The retailers have zero influence? Do you know how this process works with DC and Image?

Eh...I trust him to shoot relatively straight on what happened. I don't take him to be outright stupid, which is what he'd have to be if he thought nobody would ever dig out that international cover.

Yeah, that's what baffles me. Up to now I always presumed that retailers hashed out the proposed cover with the artist they commissioned for an exclusive to some degree. I want to believe it's some kind of lost in translation situation where Dell'otto showed some spider-man covers to Bry and he happened to choose one that was used in another market. I trust Bry enough to disclose what went wrong in the process. And I don't see how this doesn't impact on desirability of this book.

New wrinkle on this, after profusely attributing the success of his variant to Dell'Otto's artwork, Bry came out today and announced that he just discovered the art was a reused image from a German-published Spider-man book from 10 years ago.

What do we think about this one? (Pardon if it's been hashed out elsewhere on another topic.) When I see people spending this much on a variant, even one by Dell'Otto that is super limited and 9.9/10 I can't help but think about the other books I'd buy with that moola. (Ofc to each their own.)

I'm easily lured by internet drama, this was a freaking trip. Wish I was on the boards throughout that. What a piece of work, that dude. This was especially amusing:

Gots mine!

Why "unfortunately"? Only 1st apps and "keys" should be collected? As for Wolverine 8, even when I was kid (before "slab era") I wanted that book for the cover. And Hulk 340. And a bunch more.

Would be a huge bummer if this were just a temporary feature.

I first noticed the scans with my Adam Hughes SS books I got back in the middle of last month. Have had three orders since and all have had scans. In regards to saving them I'll just say they're images on the internet -- where there's a will...

Bet they'd take that offer. $39k is absurd.
