  1. Confirmations went out yesterday (Friday) for Professional Badges... There were 4-Day passes for Pros and Press. I confirmed mine this morning and purchased a 4-Day. So for those that go that route check your work email spam folder... that's where I found my email this morning once I was alerted by a friend that confirmation went out yesterday.
  2. Glad you got it! he asked me how to and after he showed me the book - I wanted it. Good for the buyer and seller. I know it's going to a good home.
  3. Forgot to mention this: A live-action version of “The Lion King” is set to arrive in July 2019. The sequel to the smash hit “Frozen” will debut in November 2019 I think that Star Wars, despite a different fan base than Frozen was moved to make way for Frozen. People way smarter at these things than we are probably have some formula as to what going where and against what will generate the most projected sales.
  4. Official Release Date Released: Indiana Jones V: July 10, 2020. Also... Star Wars Episiode IX was pushed up to May 24, 2019. The previously expected date was December 2019 following the pattern of the last two.
  5. Thanks ! Actually the Germans had experimented with flying wings toward the end of WWII. Read up on the Horten Ho. They designed some aspects of it to escape radar detection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horten_Ho_229
  6. Looks like he did a neat job so it may be better off that way. If you use any type of paint remover you may also take off the varnish on the metal which could lead to more problems down the road. Leave it as is and fill it with 80's comics. Everything back then was neon greens. I had a pair of converse skateboarding sneakers that were neon green and neon blue.
  7. I've been looking for a well presenting copy of this book for awhile. Another one to cross off my collecting bucket list.
  8. As of now this is being held at the Nassau Coliseum. After reports of a $40 price tag for parking at concerts at the "new" Nassau Coliseum I am curious what the parking price will be for this. You can always try and park next door at the Marriot but you risk getting towed. As of now I am skipping this show again.
  9. Increased the white from .5 to 6.5 as it was too dark and was not capturing the reds that this book shows off in person.
  10. I've gotten to the point where I want to opt in to the Global Shipping Program for a few things. How do I opt in for some items but not others? My current solution is to make certain high value things unavailable for overseas shipping at all but would like to give foreign buyers an opportunity that albeit more expensive allows the customer access.
  11. http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/UPDATE_Stolen_Rocket_Fett_Prototype_Returned_172583.asp UPDATE: Stolen Rocket Fett Prototype (Returned) Posted by Philip on February 11, 2017 at 12:26 PM CST An update on my stolen Rocket-Firing Boba Fett prototype. First, I'd like to sincerely give thanks to the massive amount of people, sites, forums, Facebook groups, etc, that helped get the word out. In my early conversations with the police they advised doing this is the most important thing to do when something like this is stolen. Because of the ongoing investigation of this, I can't say very much about it other than known facts. I do have my Fett back in my possession. A very honest person did see the news on the theft and he contacted me, even though it was a great financial risk to him as he had purchased it, but did not have possession of it yet. To my very great shock, he purchased it from a trusted friend of mine, somebody known to many others in our community. He admitted the theft, and returned it to me. It was not the only thing he took from me, and I'm not the only person he took things from. An arrest warrant was issued for Carl Cunningham in California and he has appeared and posted bail. It's a very serious grand theft felony arrest. The list of items taken by him he admits to includes a number of valuable unopened Master Replicas items from me, and at this point, it is unknown if there are more items he will admit to, or if he will admit to all of them. If you purchased something from Carl in the last two years, I'd appreciate your contacting me about it. I'm posting this now because the number of people who know about this is growing with time and the investigation, and it's a problem not having the truth out there to everybody. More info will come on this from me and others as time progresses.
  12. My LCS owner has a LOT of Marvel that people are not buying. His comments: 1 - No one wants to see Amadeus Cho or a female Hulk - They know Hulk as Bruce Banner - bring back banner 2 - He says that the female versions of the characters did not bring in female readership as much as it caused others to drop the titles due to unrecognizable long term characters. My additional comment to this. Robert Downey Jr IS Tony Stark / Iron Man. So long as that face is on screen, Tony Stark needs to be in the Iron Man suit. Kids who want to read more adventures with Tony Stark might actually go into a comic book store to read more Iron Man stories. They will be confused and probably become disinterested when they pick up the comic to find out that Tony Stark, the guy they love in their favorite movies, is not Iron Man.
  13. I just won a copy of Amazing Spider-man 39 in a 4.0 signed by both Romita and Lee. From my understanding of pricing in regards to Anastasia and Desert Wind, it was cheaper to buy the book second hand then to send it to them to get it signed by these two guys and then adding the cost of slabbing and shipping and Desert Wind / Anastasia's fees on top of it.
  14. I tried getting through Amazing Spider-man 25 (Vol 4) ... I really really tried. Maybe it will make sense when I re-read it through Marvel Unlimited and can read the dozen or so tie-ins.
  15. Did not work for me but I was able to utilize the one in March
