  1. I belong to the "I cant believe Ill live to see the day where people will favor an Andy Kubert cover over an Arthur Adams cover" camp
  2. So THIS closed yesterday.. Soooo wanted to outbid the top bidder. Ahhhh oh well
  3. At this point, I think everyone that's visiting this thread acknowledges what was printed first. But in my mind, it's: Annual 14. Hey look... There's Gambit, a character who's not particularly integral to the story being published. Xmen 266. Hey look.. It's Gambit again, in a story that was pretty clearly written to be an introduction to the character if the publishing schedule of one annual per week during the summer didn't necessitate publishing the annual before the intro that serves as a better introduction. Again, I have one copy of 266, which isn't leaving my collection any time soon. I have several copies of the annual, two of which are coming back from CGC soon. It's in my financial best interest for people to value the annual more, but IMO 266 is still the more desirable of the two, despite the fact that the annual was published first, and I would imagine has the lower print run. ... And significantly lower 9.8s on the census
  4. Im actually happy that this book gets recognition (even if not for all the right reasons), I always thought it was a brilliant concept from the get
  5. Don't forget Rip Torn. Haha true! I can imagine that a triple sig could elevate this book from its current coma state. I think it would be worth the investment Just waiting on CGC for the Will Smith Good job! GLWTG!
  6. Who's going to start the "Is the copper bubble bursting?" Thread? I was away for 2 weeks and no one posts THIS???
  7. And now they're sending me coupons for free submissions just to make me stop calling
  8. I like that description much better. They mustve read this thread and copied and paste its title
  9. I looked at the prices. That's breaking even or losing money. Few are making $10. Not worth selling now. I have been watching these for 2 days. If it is sealed they are selling between 175-200. A couple of days ago you could get them for around 130 from Brookstone with a groupon. But now everywhere appears to be sold out. I am not sure if Sphero is planning to ship more but if they don't these things will sell for much more leading up to Christmas. Of course Sphero is going to ship more. This is not a limited release item, it is a toy that will be everywhere in time for Christmas. Notice how all the Hasbro Star Wars action figures were snatched up as well. TRU has a lot of The Force Awakens merchandise, but little to no Star Wars action figures. This is exactly like the first release of a new iPhone, XBox, Playstation, hot toy, etc. The first releases always sell out and in 2-3 months, these BB8 will be available everywhere. If you are impatient and need it now, you will spend more for it. If you are patient, you'll get it for retail or less. I never understood the "need it now" crowd, but that crowd ensures their will be ample supply of hot items in the future as the companies ramp up production to meet the demand. Jewish holidays
  10. ...ehhhh....they're alright. A lot of scalpers are going to get stuck with these. I played with one at Brookstone. It is an incredible little toy. As far as new Star Wars toys go I'll take this over a Holocron or the force levitator. The one from Sphero is the one to get, it's 150 bucks but very well worth it. The Hasbro one is a trainwreck, as the head keeps falling off constantly. Definitely not worth 80.00
  11. Not comic related, but those BB8 SW droids are on FIRE Ive been trying to get one myself and the stores are constantly out.. If youre store has one grab it quick http://www.ebay.com/sch/Toys-Hobbies-/220/i.html?_sac=1&_from=R40&_udlo=&_udhi=&_ftrt=901&_ftrv=1&_sabdlo=&_sabdhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_dmd=1&_ipg=50&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&_nkw=bb8+droid&_sop=13
