What an ignorant statement to make.
I am honored to add Forbidden Planet to our group.

Sorry Larry but from experience, and I think most UK collectors on here would agree, FP are not the greatest retailer over the pond. Therefore not really Ignorant at all.
I, tend to avoid them if possible and only ever buy variants like yours from them as it is often the only place I can find them.
Yeah unfortunatley I hardly use FP then when I have decided to use them a couple of times in the past few weeks they've let me down, meaning I'm not encouraged to use them again. They took my money on pre-order for Catwoman #13 then on the morning of release cancelled my order as they said they hadn't ordered enough stock to cover all the orders they'd taken! On the morning of release! Well with that book selling out everywhere obviously it left me high and dry without a copy. Luckily a friend picked up 3 copies from their LCS and were nice enough to send me one, no guesses as to their LCS..yeah Forbidden Planet
