  1. I keep hoping they will make a new good movie in any of these series, yet they keep putting out garbage. I did like Predators with Adrian Brody. all I want to know is who came up with the dumb idea to make humans from the engineers? Of all the stories that could be told.
  2. Right there with you. Two of my favorite franchises have been drug through the mud.
  3. Not as good as I expected. I really liked Dawn of the Dead and was hoping for more of the same. It wasn’t bad, but it just didn’t pull me in and felt like it dragged out.
  4. Even half that price is still impressive if you ignore the last sale. I’m an X-men fan, but big picture this is only Kitty Pride. Crazy times.
  5. I think the chance is very high. However I agree with you on the price, though I only have a lowly 9.6.
  6. I’m surprised this issue hasn’t jumped considering what is happening in the market.
  7. You’ve provided a very strong recommendation. I just need to find the time to read this book. I’ve heard nothing, but good things about it.
  8. I’ve always liked the character as well. There were a lot of them printed though, but I guess when 244 in 9.8 can briefly be a $600 book, what can’t 282 in 9.8 be a $500 book.
  9. Sounds like good advice. I’ve wanted to read the series for some time. Maybe this time I’ll get around to it.
  10. I tried watching episode 1 last night. I really couldn’t get into it. Having said that I don’t like cartoons, so it probably isn’t surprising I didn’t like it. I’m happy for all the people that did like it and hope it does well.
  11. Everyone has their theories. Card collectors stimulus money, etc., but why since the end of December? Stimulus money isn’t buying $10k books? The amount of dollar growth must be in the many $100,000’s. Maybe more. How does all this money pour into the market in such a short period of time? Even if some of the card market is speculating on comics, it’s not like they called all their friends and said starting January let’s poor all our money into comics. This is a massive growth in the overall market. Again the question is why now? What has changed this year?
  12. Terrible time to be buying. Amazing time if you’re selling.
  13. That’s funny you say that. I may have thought Deathlok was cooler than what he was and was way more popular than Iron Fist, at least in the 90’s. Am I remembering this wrong?
  14. That can’t be proven. There are plenty of people that get caught up in bidding past what they planned to pay. Hell how many times have bidders paid more for a book via auction when a BIN is listed at a lower price. People do dumb things, particularly when they are manipulated.
  15. True, but would that bidder have gone to $600 if the auction wasn’t being bid up by a shill?
  16. I saw that as well. In this market how long until the price is corrected though. Look at the buy it now prices based on this. I still need to pick up a copy, but not anywhere near these prices for a third tier character.
