  1. The only real issue I have with the original cut is the first time we see the emperor. It’s a woman with monkey eyes (still weirds me out), and the dialogue isn’t as powerful as it was in the remastered versions.
  2. 2-episode week this week. This is where things took off last year. Looks to be Rex focused as well. At least one episode. I’m going to miss this show.
  3. I posted about this user (Link)(thenewls2004) and their listing of a facsimile Ultimate Fallout #4 (link) posing as a 1st print in another thread a week or so ago, but I wanted to bring it here as well. I reported the listing to eBay and nothing was done. I followed the listing and people were still bidding more than they should for a facsimile, and surprise surprise the seller doesn't accept returns. So, I decided I'd put in a snipe bid, knowing eBay will force a return for an item not as described, but I also wanted to contact the seller afterward to see if it was an honest mistake or not. As you can see below, that wasn't the case, so for your consideration I present thenewls2004 as a candidate for your buyer/seller to avoid list. Note: None of the questions or answers to questions were included in the sellers listing. They couldn't even be honest about something as easily fact-checkable as that.
  4. Thanks. That’s what I thought, but Heir to the Empire #1 has different entries on the census for direct, newsstand, and blank newsstand.
  5. I really have no idea how they keep messing it up. It's not that hard. Star Wars has put together a pretty good blueprint for weaving in the animation with the live action for a while. Not everything is a masterpiece, but it makes sense, and well...isn't Madame Web.
  6. First time Goku went Super Saiyan, I got chills. RIP
  7. Apologies if this has been asked before, but I just submitted a Newsstand Edition of Action Comics #695 Collectors Edition. Currently, there is not a separate designation for this Newsstand Edition on the census because they are very hard to find, especially in grade. My submission was entered into the system today and is labeled as "Action Comics #695 Collectors Edition" without the Newsstand designation. Will this be updated to reflect the Newsstand Edition after it is graded? Thanks.
  8. Ambulance chasing on the CGC message boards. Times must be tough.
  9. You may get more help in the copper thread. Some people who frequent there may not check over here as much. I did dig through a collection of obscure 80s books and no luck. I’ll keep an eye out, though.
  10. Here's a unique one. Spoiler below is a stickered version with the blank barcode underneath, which is usually how these turn up. Pretty confident it's a bookstore newsstand that never had the sticker applied for some reason. There are a few out there.
  11. The $120 a year is peace of mind mostly, but it has come in handy a few times. I’ve definitely spent $120 on worse and probably will continue to do so.
  12. Not to get off topic too much, but the Nest wired doorbell, and all their cameras if they are connected to a power supply, with a subscription will record continuously. 10 days of 24/7 video history.
  13. Thanks. Yeah, every copy of the paperback that I've seen has been of the third image you posted, and the hardcovers seem to be pretty readily available. Definitely kinda confusing with so many different versions of the same collected work. Probably one of the reasons they ended it.
  14. First, my apologies if this is the wrong thread for this or if it’s been discussed at a much earlier date. I just grabbed a copy of this off eBay because I haven’t seen one come up before, can’t find any sales for it, and it was a good price. I also suspect it was mis-titled. It’s the Direct Market variant of Marvel Masterworks Avengers Vol. 06 (DM VAR ED 70) from 2014. I know this cover is out of print, but is it hard to find? Usually, eBay or Amazon has a copy of a book, but I wasn’t able to turn up anything when searching for it.
  15. Thanks. Maybe it was a printer error and this was the easy fix. I haven’t seen other copies like this, but honestly I hadn’t been looking. I’ll keep an eye out for other examples
  16. I hope it’s this. Would explain the OMFG STEAM R0X0RZ TEH BIG ONE111! nature of posts.
