    I grew up reading comics
  1. Chip, don't you have somewhere else to be? I'm sure you haven't cried in the Water Cooler section yet.
  2. I always had a gut feeling Chip was a joke with all his stories. Can't wait to see what bs he comes up with now.
  3. I <3 this thread almost as much as the PIF thread
  4. Where's all the Spidey fans? Whats going on people? say something.....respectfully You rang?
  5. If you can't afford to play the game, don't participate. Simple as that. Come back when you can. I love playing poker but that doesn't mean I'm going to go to a casino and sit at the high rollers unless I can afford to play those high stakes. So you'll see me with the regular guys playing for what I can afford. That's it, simple as that. If later on I can afford the high stakes, I'll head over but in the mean time I'm where I should be. Let's stop making excuses if a boardie can't afford to offer something in similar value. There's always the PIF thread can go and offer their precious drek.
  6. You have to factor in the number of SS books being offered is probably going to come up a couple times in a month and while you wait the quick fingers grabbers may eclipse their month and grab the SS you wanted. As long as you see something that interested you I'd grab it and you will be back in the game in a month. I think the new rule to outlaw mystery boxes will keep things moving a lot quicker since people don't like a mystery when they are putting up a comparable book. So, for some people it's all about how much you can take and not at all what you can give. I see. I thought the intent was to post up equal or more than you take? People still want a really cool book so they can post up a even cooler book. Here in lies the dilemma. If this is truly about 'giving' then no one should care about which offer follows, but most do. The rub is that what is valuable varies, to a construction worker barely scraping up enough to put food on the table and still collect, putting up a $50 offer is no small potatoes, while to a lawyer that wouldn't bat an eye at posting a $300 slab, the $50 offer is . Is this thread truly about giving or outdoing the next guy? Both types of people are on this board and legitimately passionate about collecting, but can both coexist in a thread like this without it devolving into base accusation and name calling? Odds are against it. I've been lurking through the PIF thread and this one and I can't believe how difficult some boardies are when it comes to claiming and offering things. Practice common sense. If you claim something expensive offer something close to it. You know damn well what "something close to it" is so stop playing games. Can't offer something close to it? Don't claim it then. Want to cry about the notion that this should just be about "giving" and singing cumbaya around a campfire, well here you go then
  7. What's everybody opinion on? Oh that's right, now I remember. Have a shilltastic day!
  8. You're right about the rinse repeat formula that's been used by Kirkman. If you try to think ahead, the only way I can imagine what can happen next are the following two scenarios: a proper civilization finally is created or everybody dies. Even with internal issues among the group (due to Negan surviving) the story will still seem bland. Even if Rick were to die, you once again have the formula put into play except another character takes over I.e. Carl. What more can really be done? Another herd attack? More hunters? Aliens? As much as I hate to write this, I think it's time this series wraps up. All goods things have to come to an end.
  9. It's not after one book, it's being dropped after one Arc. I personally think Kirkman isn't putting much care into this as before. Granted he has a lot more on his plate but you have to remember what got you there. He should have taken his time writing this arc out even if it took one issue a month. The way this shi* ended was pathetic. All Kirkman cares about now is $$$$ I'm sure as I finished writing this comment, another 20 different #1 variants have been created.
  10. i've since sent wolfpack06 the refund on the manifest destiny 1. also after shipping out the outstanding books i have had, i'm stepping away from the board and selling for the foreseeable future. Wasn't this the same guy who admitted to shilling some of his auctions but not all?
  11. Personally I think the majority think it's going to be a horrible movie however those who are invested in it will do everything in their power to pump this movie so they can dump it on the sheep.
  12. dont tell me I did it twice ......In 24 hours Your ok James. Your not in trouble. I'd buy one too if I had the chance. I totally missed that. As a consumer, it doesn't matter. I would have loved to have seen this earlier.
