Mine showed up yesterday and later that night I became deathly sick. I'm going to blame jtc because it seems the only rational thing to do

C2E2 Submission Received 5/04

A few reasons - almost entirely based on meeting him, I met him at C2E2, but never planned on buying a copy of the book there as I already had 2 ordered. He didn't even seem like he wanted to be there, and this was early on Friday. At least when I was there, his booth consisted of a lone copy of the Fett variant on a stand, no price displayed, and 2 "handlers" behind his booth only to say "$60… It's $80 on ebay". It was the weirdest creator meet I've ever had. He seemed pleasant enough if I wasn't buying something from him - but some people you just get an insincere vibe that rubs you the wrong way… that's what I got and it's not something that's super easy to describe I suppose. Semi-related weird side note: his signature (which it's his right to sign however he damn well pleases) looks literally like this: ~~----------. Zero exaggeration there. Had I not met him in person, I probably wouldn't have as much bias… but I have yet to hear from someone who met him that felt he was genuine.

If it was one or two minor things about the debacle, it wouldn't be so displeasing - but the way it's all come together makes for very poor taste. They made their choices to handle things how they did. When another "opportunity" like this comes along from JTC (which I'm guessing it will) will either side have learned a lesson?

Oh, I didn't know about that - I stand corrected on the shipping of bulk.

Definitely a legitimate complaint. Agreed. I sincerely hope JTC makes the most of the extra $5 he has gained on my 2 book order by illegally sending comics via media mail, and that it alleviates some of the personal hatred he has for the people that have speculated on his $20 $60 variant. I'm sure they think we owe that $5 to them for the pain they have gone through sending out hundreds of packages, just so people can make money off of them - because we are all slimy thieves. They may have spent more than $8.50 on sending huge bulk orders (didn't someone get theirs UPS?), but that shouldn't be picked up by the little orders.

2 raws shipped this AM via media mail with tracking and on the way.

I'm just sitting back and hoping for the best. I think my invoice # was in the 3xxx area.

Just got this sketch back from Matthew Sutton today! Sorry if photo is huge - posting from phone. I cannot say enough kind words about the guy - very friendly and has a true passion for his work.

Coupon Submission - 4 books Received: 4/20 Verified: 4/21

I AM starting to wonder just how many were pulled to sell later … hmmmm

I think at $20 it's a good buy. They will be sold out today - that's a sure thing. And then you're either buying from the artist directly at a con (while supplies last) or on secondary ( AKA higher price ). Maybe not a huge profit long run, but I don't see the value in this one dropping for a long time.

I'm gonna say 5:30pm EST

550 now #fettwatch

5,000 copies at $20 a pop.. $100,000 aint too shabby, and I'm sure his contract for the "regular" action figure covers carries out for some time too. (thumbs u Granted, there are surely some discounts given if you buy a stack. I may just buy a couple Edit: Bought 2 after the number jumped down to about 700 from 1600! They are clearing out fast

Bought a few more books. Shipped fast and safe! Thanks again!

I honestly can't even believe that I'm #11! ha… Basically all I have are #1s graded, but it's my #1 book to read for sure.

I remembered the name from the other Larry's Google+ group. And is it zupaphly? Assuming from his google+ account profile photo he already owns an NYCC in 9.8 (or has coveted one). He also went to 14 comic shops looking for #1-3 when news broke. His hard work driving to 14 stores was not in vain it would appear! This post is only moderately disappointed… though very jealous. Congrats to Larry - May the odds be ever in your favor. p.s. - Was the "freebie" thing that Tim posted about cool? I never got one for my entry.

It's clear as the fans of the series that NO ONE is on board with this new numbering. 215 ink, Movie Execs, Creators, and everyone else please take note.

These books are so perfect, CGC assigned a special 11.0 grade for them.

I think you mean…
