They dropped the ball BIG TIME with this. Peace, Chip

Nothing. Very disappointing. All the commercials in general were disappointing. The Jurassic Park trailer was cool...some new footage, but that was very early on. Peace, Chip

Here's hoping! Just a little while longer and we'll know. I'm predicting the 2nd quarter for anything big since in the 2nd half people will be more concerned with the game and take bathroom breaks during the commercials. Peace, Chip

They shouldn't really label it as a "trailer" if it's only 30 seconds. However, there HAVE been full 2-minute-plus trailers shown during the Super Bowl before. Here's hoping it's a full-blown trailer and not just a teaser... Peace, Chip

People are way too damn sensitive these days. Mo rons. Peace, Chip

WTF? Wow, that book exploded. What's the deal? Just because of the stupid Hot Topic figure recall? Peace, Chip

I just sold a couple VF+ examples in the $15 range as well. Book is definitely trending upward. I think I have a couple more copies to list. Peace, Chip

Lightened it and sharpened it a bit. He looks charred on one side. Peace, Chip

That's probably the only thing I like about the whole mess is Ben's look and size. However, I think it was necessitated by what Marvel did with Hulk in the Avengers. That being said, Ben isn't that tall in the comics. He's only 6 feet tall and 500 pounds. Peace, Chip

I agree, Bosco. This thread needs to go away. Peace, Chip

Your eternal optimism is infectious. What can I say? I'm a huge fan of the REAL Fantastic Four. Not this . Lee, Kirby and Byrne. Peace, Chip

It doesn't matter. Trank has already screwed this up. Peace, Chip

Those looked like the ship they all piled into. Peace, Chip

I understand them wanting to do that, but they could have served the characters better in those two categories by adapting the stuff from (1) Lee and (2) Kirby. Do they really think the Ultimate stuff is better than the Classic stuff as far as family and science? That probably what burns me up the most about this whole thing. Eff the Ultimate stuff. Peace, Chip

Well, . I kept waiting for something to happen...action-wise or a still shot that made me say "wow" out loud. Nothing. I know it's a teaser...but *one* thing would have been nice. It's like I just watched a trailer for Bridesmaids 2 or something. "Yep, that's a movie coming out." That did nothing to squash my fears. The Thing in the final shot looked like The Thing, but that's about it. I don't recognize these characters otherwise. Blah. Disappointing. Peace, Chip

Oh geez...is that a Mondo print? That's really cool! Peace, Chip

Is that an official poster? The Corman poster was even better than that . I'm really pessimistic about what's to come in a few days. I'm dreading seeing my favorite comic of all time getting trampled on. From what I'm seeing of the costume designs it's not allaying my fears... Peace, Chip

Avengers #6 is next. I wish I had the cash...I'd pick up about 8-10 copies immediately... Peace, Chip

Speaking of Star Wars, this was a nice surprise for me the other night... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-Wars-40-1980-NM-9-4-White-Pages-Empire-Strikes-Back-Adaptation-/361189204469?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item54188de1f5&nma=true&si=dxg3y8xEUp75UQzOiwfW405Pt04%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Peace, Chip

I agree...Kevin Maguire MAKES that run. Peace, Chip

I'll follow that up by parroting what ChiSox said. I also had a large transaction from Dale based on my participation in his Holiday Sale Thread and everything was excellent. Great condition books at great prices and bomb-proof packaging. Thanks a bunch, Dale! Peace, Chip

Well, what else can I say about Ed? I've done about 20 transactions with him in the past year and it's always excellent...prices, shipping and communication at the highest level possible. Thanks very much for everything you do, my friend! Peace, Chip

Michael is one of the kindest people on this board. Amazing books at amazing deals and lightning-quick shipping. I've done several transactions with him now and it's always the absolute best. Thanks so much! Peace, Chip

Sleepwalker #1, but you already knew that. I don't think there's any new NEW hotness, is there? Peace, Chip

That guy's a very good customer of mine. Good for him! Peace, Chip
