  1. 3 story signed / remarked hardcover getting heat? or just BS mini book?

     

    Why would the hardcover be getting heat? (shrug)

     

    Because the 3 Story floppie one-shot was a continuation of the original 3 Story, The story of the Giant Man HC by Matt Kindt. Who btw signs and draws on everything you give him to sign. He is amazing.

     

    I know, I've read it. The one-shot is getting heat cos of the Mind MGMT preview though, not because of 3 Story.

  2. Just got mine today. Thanks again, E.S.!

     

    I'll keep spreading the word in the NoVA/DC area. If anybody else is doing the same thing at the shops in this area, thank you to you too.

    Got mine today.... THX E.S. !

    Jelly. I think I just missed the boat on that.

  3. Don't everyone lose their mind at once, but Mind Mgmt has a VERY low printed 1st appearance that predated the 1st issue.

    I can't find a print run on comichron, but the main story was reprints of a few dark horse presents stories, so i'm thinking it had to be freaking tiny. Scour your local shop time begins............now!

     

    Cool, I have 2 copies of that sitting here. 3 Story is an amazing GN btw, highly recommended.

  4. I really need to vent a LCS story.

     

    I was a store with a couple of friends yesterday, and bought 2 copies of Mind MGMT #1 based on a couple of posts I saw on this thread. Later I saw that the book was selling for alot more, so I went back to try and get the remaining copies of it from the store. A family member suggested coming with me, but I told them no since I had no problem getting 2 copies yesterday.

     

    Of course, when I got to the store, and tried to get the 4 copies, the store worker started to look at the books, and get suspicious. One of the employees literally went on eBay RIGHT IN FRONT ME (the screen was facing me), and looked up the book, and whispered to the guy that the book is now a $60 book, which of course I heard. He then told me that the store has a limit of 1 copy on new books, which is apparently a policy that was implemented less than 24 hours ago, because I bought 2 copies of the book yesterday. I told him I drove 30 mins to get there and need to get at least 2 copies (1 more for me, 1 for my friend) and would even pay alittle over cover, since I just wanted to make it worth the trip. He then started saying that there are people with pull lists that will need this book. Apparently the people with pull lists must be really good customers if they put 6+ month old books in their boxes. The guy then acted like he was doing me a favor selling me 1 copy at cover, and told me that they never charge over cover for newer books. Meanwhile, they have books that are barely 2 months old for way over cover price sitting right next to the register. Of course, he looked like a complete insufficiently_thoughtful_person the entire time, but I chose to just take the 1 book and leave.

     

    And here is their item up on eBay now thanks to my apparent tip.

    I know its my fault for not getting all of the books yesterday, but the fact that these people were lying and making up policies makes me furious.

     

    I can understand you being disappointed. But furious? They're not obliged to sell you anything... and you got 3 books.

  5. The way these 2 posts were posted one after another is brilliant... lol

     

    AAnnnnnddddddddddddd.....

     

    Everyone needs to take a deep breath.

     

    98% of new titles will be a bust.

    of those 2% remaining,the flame will only flicker for a short period.

    The long-term (in modern's over a year) successes you can count on 1 hand.

    Its those you need to find,and the only way is to do a ton of reading and research...and have patience.

    I would say,after the walking dea, only Revival and Bedlam MAY join TWD.

    Saga,whist awesome,will soon be having a 50,000+ print run.

    Issues other than #1's always end up being worth just over cover unless they are one of the above.

     

    Jumping in with both feet and a full wallet will lead you to the path of poverty very quickly.

    So before you rush out and spend $300 on Nowhere men #4 2nd print - inhale and think.

     

     

    Some of the purchases on here are absurd - 2c

    :sumo: Mail Time :sumo: Cover Price :sumo: I'm Hungry :sumo:
