Yea, I like that one

This show

My LCS swears that something changed a wile back with Diamond, and the majority of his shipments now show up damaged.

He tells me this knowing that I work for UPS, and supervise his deliveries, so I think he might just be sneak dissin', .

And it really didn't "fall out" as much as it evened out from all the initial hype.

Situations really not as bad as I made it sound.

Price fell out on one cover.

Wow look at this auction for a raw SW #2 Han Solo figure

Wow, I didn't realize they were anywhere near that high.Still have a respectable stack around here somewhere.

 

Don't just dump them on the market. Just sell them at a slow pace one listing at a time.

(thumbs u No worries.

I skipped CGC this time around on the Fetts. I honestly thought it would hold up as well as the first one, just didn't have the money to slab them. Glad that was the case.

I'm guessing some of the action figure covers will see a bump closer to movie time, but with all the different Star Wars books & variants out, I'm not as confident as I once was that it'll happen.

Are the Boba Fett covers dead now?

Ehh, the heats deff. dead. Idk if they've dropped below original price yet or not.

Need to unload the rest of mine and cut my losses.

Wow, I didn't realize they were anywhere near that high.Still have a respectable stack around here somewhere.

I ordered quite a few and have received all but 1 shipment. I'm thinking all but 4 or 5 are pretty solid 9.8 candidates.

The shipping method did leave something to be desired, but it looks like I lucked out.

the value on the C2E2 is much greater isn't?

 

Maybe…there's a good chance the B&W Boba may reach those numbers too. I don't mind waiting to see if they do, I'm just curious if anyone is open to the trade if they do.

I'd doubt in honestly. Even if the price on the #7 Boba caught up, I'm thinking the C2E2 will stay much harder to find in general.

If I had to guess, I'd say Boba sketch cover will settle around $100 once its all said and done, in the short to mid term at least. The C2E2 will still be the highest priced by a large margin.

Unless of coarse anymore "super limited" ones are released. Those will be a shoot depending on print run and character.

When the new movie comes out, it will be the perfect time to list full runs of action figure sets for new a generation fans to buy in.

 

I wonder what a full set could go for?

 

I'd guess less than if they were broken up and sold during the high point for each cover, yet that's come and gone for a few. Come movie time I think most collectors would already have the ones they want the most and with a few more to come before the movie the previous covers will dip a bit by then. Just my opinion.

 

 

Do you think the C2E2 B&W Luke Sketch cover has already peaked?

 

I feel that's a question best left for others in this thread. IMO it may be one of the few with staying power, along with Boba.

My

I don't see any except C2E2, #2 Han, and both Bobba's keeping too much heat. I'm putting sets together, but won't be expecting much return from the others.

Why is this book so popular & more importantly, why are people willing to pay so much?

 

Is it key a issue or something?

Its just people chasing a variant. The reasons Krighton mentioned are why its doing better than most.

With the first Boba cover still seeing 50+, I think this one will settle above that for at least a while.

From his twitter

If memory serves he was doing something uncool at C2E2. I cant remember if he was asking for even more money to sign it, or refusing to NOT sign it to a specific person. One of those.

Some boardies felt he was impolite and unpleasant. That + the increase in price was where the complaints came in if memory serves.

Whats up Ant.

Not much man!

Trying to make a triumphant return to the boards, but it's tough to find time lately.

How are you and the little one doing?

This is my favorite thread.

 

I'll be buying as many Star ars AF covers as they release. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to get ANY of the Secret Wars covers, so I'll likely be playing catch up with those sometime in the future.

 

Need to grab a few of the BW Boba's to keep my complete sets going.

 

I saw that! I bet you were thinking "where did my post go?"

Yea, moment there.

I deleted it from the other thread a pasted it here.

Was out of pocket for a few days and log in last night to hear this news

Man I really hope this one pans out. I would trade all my copies just to see this one make it to the screen.

A buddy from here on the boards got it signed and graded himself. Just purchased it from him last week. I was crazy excited to pick it up.

On the look out for #1A and the #1 LBCC now. I know there are 9.9 copies out there...

Just showed up today Will be tucked away safely with my other 2 9.9s.

Wonder if losing the artist hurt the TV show prospects. The buzz balloon pretty much popped after that happened.

 

I agree the events with the artist hurt the momentum and it would seem might have affected it.

 

 

Our sales have increased. Our pre orders for volume 2 were five times the amount than for volume 1.

 

And that article didn't get the whole context of the conversation. So, that was swell of him to write without asking me any f@cking questions.

 

It has expired, but is in the process of being renewed.

 

Sheesh, you negative Nellie's!

Awesome news Kurtis!

I have no doubt we're going to be hearing about Rat Queens for a long time to come.

IIRC, he purchased it already slabbed from someone.
