  1. I've sold a few and just picked another one up today for cover.
  2. Welp, raided the $1 bins again: Shadowman #8, Harbinger #10, Bloodshot #7, Rai #9 and lastly, a Shadowman #16. Are you sure there are others looking where I shop?
  3. 3 is 1st appearance. Issue 2 just has the "Next Issue" Picture, and if this were counting as a 1st appearance, Edge of the Spider Verse #1 would be on fire too. It isn't. But Psylocke anything is on fire right now from the Munn news.
  4. She is the only living Jean Grey. And this is the end of the X-Men as we know it, so I see these being fairly well received. There are 6 Figure Covers for 600???
  5. Lots of Hype behind Bloodshot right now.......I am certain there is another reason for the publicity. *Cough***movie***Cough* While the previous Bloodshot run was averaging only 8,000 copies printed, they had to have a large digital fan base as well I am sure. This is the 21st century IDW Trasnformers, my favorite title, does around 10K per month print. but a large amount not counted is digital sales. I am ok with that as printed copies are just more rare, and RI 1:10 covers even more so. But I agree, too many variant covers makes it unbearable. Did you say 'read'? It was the 2nd printing that came with the Trade, not Harbinger 0 Pink. Cannot read slabs.........and uh, I don't have any.....YET.
  6. Read the old Harbinger 0 for the first time today. Can't believe people cover priced their 1-6 books back in the 90's for yanking the coupons out to get those 16 pages.
  7. That is insane...for a raw copy... Time to break out my short box of Rai #0's out! Yeah, Something looks fishy on that. Here is a 9.8 Rai 0 9.8
  8. , even at 1500 copies, I cannot bring myself to buy into Secret Wars, or Convergence this summer. Red one is nice though.........resistance might be futile.
  9. Its still Deadpool's second appearance. It'll go back up. It only breached $10.00 raw because of Garrison Kane's supposed appearance in the film. It will be back under a $10.00 book due to print run #'s alone. This is "Eternal Warrior #5 (1992)" for Marvel.
  10. Deadpool (1997) #14-19 is seeing serious heat from the movie news about Ajax. I managed to find a Newsstand version of #14 (1st Ajax). Also, it appears the rumor about Garrison Kane might have been the bait and switch. They were going to use him, then decided not to (as of now). So X-Force #2 will cool down a bit more.
  11. It kind of already has been since AOA was announced. But we can hype it if you'd like! I have a BEAUTIFUL copy that would likely 9.6 or 9.8!
  12. I read the new stuff too. I can tell you I like the print runs on the VEI (new) stuff. So many Digital sales, the print runs hover around 10K or less!
  13. It is based on if your store hit a higher projection purchase of a previous book order. Then you are added to have the option of adding these variants non ratio variants like the recent Noto varaints. It is sometimes better for smaller stores because 150% of book X for them might be 25 copies, when a larger store, such as my local one, had to order 100 copies of (example) to get the option for the #4 Chewbacca cover. (or something similar) Marvel is the only publisher with this. Others are simple, 1:25, 1:100 ect. with no gimmicks to enable ordering of a variant.
  14. I just want a NM RAW of Solar 10 1st print that isn't $30.00. I mean, it's not like it is a Boba Fett Variant cover! Ha! And a nice NM RAW copy of Rai #1 and #2. I've nabbed everything else 1st appearance wise that I want to pay for and can get back to my other desires.
  15. These were more awesome when I was 12. Like the Transformers Cartoon when I was 4. Now, IDW has a grown up Transformers story that I can relate too in my old age! I read the original pre unity, and thought about all the pizza coupons it took for me to pay for 1 pre unity book I was chasing back then. But read the new Rai, Harbinger, Bloodshot, and Shadowman, and I like the modern takes on these characters.
  16. With the way some of the series (Harbinger) introduced new characters almost every issue (post unity), it is hard to answer this question because we cannot predict, only speculate. Getting old and new Valiant 1st appearances is all we can do for now. If i were to guess, Bloodshot is the focus because he looks to be the first up for Valiant, and the face being we were told that his movie "would surprise you to know how far along the movie is" according to VEI CEO. But there will be so many first appearances that may warrant a future key, that I would hoard them. Collect the missing major 1st appearances, and hope when the movie/tv show news breaks, you have a copy or 2.
  17. I cannot tell if it is anger that has blinded you, but marvel is selling only 5000 copies of this variant, through the outlets that are posted. There will be no more AF variant Boba Fett. And since his site is sold out, better get to C2E2 to get yours. Or you can buy one of mine for $100.
  18. You missed the earlier part of the convo. Marvel is. #4 is Chewbacca. This is the only way to get the BOBA FETT. 481 left in stock. Selling 5,000 $20.00 books in a little over 1 day, that is phenomenal.
  19. I see $100 RAW copies in the next few months. Slabs will be a premium as well. Try thrown in a priority envelope. Last 2 books sent that way actually made it intact. I was amazed at how lucky the seller was. I message them every time, tell them to reinforce the package because mailman is a and will shove that mess into the mailbox one way or another if I am not there to collect it. Mine was advertised as nm.....showed up as vg/f So you got them for free? Because Buyer protection is my best friend for sellers who fail to pack items properly.
  20. This Fet Variant is exactly like his Toy. Going to be long gone before anyone notices. Try thrown in a priority envelope. Last 2 books sent that way actually made it intact. I was amazed at how lucky the seller was. I message them every time, tell them to reinforce the package because mailman is a and will shove that mess into the mailbox one way or another if I am not there to collect it.
  21. Location? Will the FET be there for less than $29.00 shipped?
