  1. Are the combo packs coming out next week or not? My LCS seemed to think it was not until May. As long as I get my issue as part of my subscription, I really don't care what week I get it, but would like to know.
  2. I got my copies today no problem, but glad I went early and got to pick the nicest. Some were not a pretty!
  3. This is how I feel and what keeps me focused on my X-Men run and books of interest. Sometimes I deviate, but not often.
  4. So now that the Kanan rumours have started can we get the rumors for Darth Vader 3 and Aphra rolling again!
  5. Is this predominately at shows ? I haven't seen the "PQ" on the label affect prices either way in the mid to lower grades at auction or on ebay BIN's. MC yes, but even now that seems to matter less as overall inventory has dwindled. -J. Pq, in my experience, is a minor to moderate differential, even among lower grades. Not so much 2.0 and below but definitely in 4.0 A quick perusal of GPA reveals that you are correct with regard to 4.0, though even there the books with "cream to off white pages" on the label are spot on with the 12 month GPA average for all sales. Overall, I would say that it is difficult, if not impossible to know if some or any of the price differences are related to marvel chipping and/or the "PQ" on the label, or just the normal market forces of the book heating up again and the timing of the various copies coming to market. For Example: -In a 1.5 a book with "cream to off white pages" on the label has the current GPA high;. -In a 1.8 a book with "cream to off white pages" on the label has the current GPA high; -In a 2.0 a book with "cream to off white pages" on the label is 2nd highest, sandwiched in between two books (1st and 3rd highest) with "ow/w" on the label; -In a 2.5 a book with "cream to off white pages" on the label has the current GPA high; -In a 3.0 a book with "cream to off white pages" on the label is the 2nd highest, and tied with 4 other books with all manner of "PQ" on the label, up to and including "ow/w"; -In a 3.5 a book with "cream to off white pages" on the label is 2nd highest, sandwiched in between two books (1st and 3rd highest) with "ow" on the label; -In a 4.5 TWO books with "cream to off white pages" on the label have the current GPS highs. After that the sales get too sparse and sporadic to do an adequate analysis. But the trend is clear....there is no trend. Books with "cream to off white pages" on the label in every grade between 1.0 and 4.5 (with the exception of 4.0, though, again, those books are still in line with GPA 12 month averages) are either the current GPA highs (in four of seven of the grades), or 2nd highest (positioned between books with "ow" and "ow/w" on the label in the 1st and 3rd highest sales spots). No "discounts" or "premiums" either way can be observed from this data IMO. -J. Score for my AF15 CGC 4.0 with cream to off white pages with a Stan Lee signature inside on the front page and no marvel chipping! Thanks for looking all this up and sharing!
  6. Only 3, I think. Everything I've seen solicits covers A, B & C. Three seems like a weird number to me. Why not the original five? If you're picking a top three X-Men, are the other two Cyclops and Wolverine? No Xavier? Beast? Magneto? Storm? etc...
  7. Not as pleased with this one as others. Looks good, but I was hoping for a more vintage character design/uniform
  8. Start putting the term combo pack in your title and you will be good!
  9. And Yoda. It only ends when it gets to Jar Jar...
  10. Really like the approach he took. This would explain the huge amount of books that were taken off the total count yesterday around mid afternoon. Could be a good sign for those who missed the boat as more could become available in the coming weeks as he may not need all the ones he set aside.
  11. Sometimes I consider upgrading from my 4.0 but it just seems like so much more I would have to trade/pay to get to the next level I would consider which is a 6.0
  12. It's only been 3 months. Good point... Time for a reboot!
  13. Hey, look! 3000 plus pages of moderns heating up!
  14. You missed the earlier part of the convo. Marvel is. #4 is Chewbacca. This is the only way to get the BOBA FETT. 481 left in stock. Selling 5,000 $20.00 books in a little over 1 day, that is phenomenal. Article on bleedingcool: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/04/09/a-john-tyler-christopher-boba-fett-for-c2e2-and-online/
  15. Under 600 I didnt order any. I think the price is too high. Sorry But thats just my opinion Could be the right opinion. My thinking is that these will be valuable in the long run as it will be hard to find and will be an attention grabber at conventions and in shops because not many people will be aware they were available.
  16. Under 600 He should jack the price to $25-30 for the last five hundred!
