  1. With the recently announced postponement it's still have a year away (hopefully we've been able to leave these crazy times behind us in good health by then) but putting my request out already ;) Are there any fellow boardies attending the con and willing to help me out with a con exclusive item?

  2. It's almost as if this thread is dead :( ....anyone out there still collecting the series as that is certainly not dead!! Noticed an add from a gallery in San Diego announcing an exhibition with Gabriel Rodriguez' work. The add also announces a special edition of the upcoming one shot Small World. If any of you fellow boardies plan to attend the exhibition and is willing to help a brother out, please drop me a note. Cheers!

  4. So, anyone here on the board that's going to try to get each of the 20 different Alpha #1 retailer variants?

     

    I wouldn't mind paying a slight premium for them as a set.

     

    Same here. Already asked Chris Ryall from IDW if there'll be a boxset. I really don't want to contact 17 different comic shops and try to get a copy of each, but if that's what it takes then that's what it takes....Just wanted to know if I'm the only 'nut' here. I've got each & every edition/variant of the Locke & Key comics so can't stop now the end is near.

     

    I am missing a couple of the signed variants but otherwise have one or more of each variant as well. I just picked up the Omega 5 variant at a LCS yesterday.

     

    The publisher (Chris Ryall) informed me that there will be no boxset :( so I guess I need to contact each of the 17 shops and try to get their particular variant. Anyone care to join me in this quest? I don't mind all the work involved & it makes no difference if it's for one or more copies....however, in order to keep shippingcosts to a minimum I need a US shipping address.

  6. Looks like IDW and retailers are trying to make the most of the end of Locke & Key. New variants galore shown here: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/09/05/cover-variance-all-the-retailer-covers-for-locke-key-alpha-1/. Variant-itis is one reason I stopped collecting The Walking Dead.

     

    You've got to be kidding me!!! Can't believe that there'll be so many variants of Alpha #1. It'll cost a fortune to obtain one of each. I think it's odd that these covers only show up just a couple of days before the release date, there hasn't been mention of any retailer exclusives in the IDW comic solicitations contrary to Alpha #2

  7. Well, whatever the "secret" about Locke & Key is, it looks like Joe Hill got the go-ahead to talk about it during his L & K panel at SDCC on Saturday. He also said that there will be an announcement through "official channels" tomorrow :) I can't wait to find out what it is!

     

    I have the feeling it'll have something to do with the pilot of the tv-series like a release on DVD of the pilot. we'll know it in a bit. :wishluck:

  8. Just to be sure I'm posting in this thread as well :)

     

    Unfortunately my buddy Monstermonkey79 is unable to attend the SDCC so hopefully one of you fellow collectors out there is willing to help out a Locke & Key / Joe Hill fan from The Netherlands. :wishluck:

     

    I would really like to obtain a copy of the SDCC exclusive edition of Clockworks hardcover (obviously it would be absolutely fantastic if it's signed Joe & Gabe). Please send me a PM if you can help & thanks !

     

  9. I posted a request on the SDCC 2011 forum asking if someone was willing to help me obtain a copy of the SDCC exclusive Locke & Key vol.4 hardcover

    Jonesy sent me a PM offering his help, and actually managed to get me a signed & personalised copy as well as a signed copy of Clockworks #1 !!!!!!

    On top of that, I was surprised to find a bunch of the SDCC giveaway temporary tattoos in the package as well.

     

    I'm so glad Eric was willing to help out without asking a ridiculous premium. He didn't even ask for a payment in advance even though he purchased a personalised copy for a guy he has never met who lives on the other side of the Atlantic (The Netherlands), now that´s putting your trust in people (thumbs u

     

    Eric, once again THANKS A BUNCH for everything, you :headbang:

    If there´s anything I can do for you, just drop me a line.

  10. My first post on this forum (though I've been a lurker for quite some time).

    I was wondering if there are any fellow collectors out there that are going to attend the SDCC next week and are willing to help out a Locke & Key / Joe Hill fan from The Netherlands

    I would really like to obtain a copy of the SDCC exclusive edition of Keys to the Kingdom hardcover (obviously it would be absolutely fantastic if it's signed Joe & Gabe). Please send me a PM if you can help & thanks !

     

    ps. please accept my apologies if my request is improper on this forum.
