  1. Problem with that 40-50% discount is I don't know of any LCS that has the volume that DCBS and Midtown have to qualify for the same discounts. Also, since DCBS's online store is a preorder-only service and you prepay for your items (typically around the 15th of the month prior release), they don't carry the same risks of unsold product that a normal LCS does. Maybe the LCS can offer a preorder service similar to DCBS and Midtown's so they can offer bigger discounts. The LCS makes a smaller profit per item but that profit is guaranteed and carries no risk as well as providing advance revenue to help with cash flow. That said, given rent, labor, etc, are fixed costs, they might need to make up for the lower margin with higher volume. My LCS has a preorder program like this and they give all preorder customers 30% discount off DC/Marvel and 20% off on all other pubs. Discounts are regardless of order size so whether you preorder 1 comic or 50, you get the same discount. I've approached 3 different shops in my area, none can even offer what you describe. If they did I'd have to consider it closely.
  2. My local shops have forced me into getting my monthly moderns from dcbservice.com 40-50% off cover price and books shipped to me. If shops offered better incentives and discounts I'd buy local
  3. Doctor Who signed books DScott helped out with David Tennant and Jenna Coleman Kevlar was able to help with Matt Smith

  10. Would love to see Brainiac or maybe even Cyborg Superman as a villain
  11. Not surprised it was canceled They weren't going to compete with Tampa Con
  12. Thanks to Dan for getting this book signed at Magic City con
  13. Couldn't agree more. Opening weekend will be big, not Avengers big. But word of mouth is what will carry the box office not critics
  14. Saw it last night The movie isn't near as bad as the critics make it out to be. With that said this movie is too overstuffed for its own good. The problem with the shared universe super hero movie is when you try to introduce other characters or try to setup other franchises it takes away the focus of the movie. If the movie was 20-30 minutes shorter and more streamlined i would've enjoyed it more. It wasn't as bad as Green Lantern but is far from perfect.
  15. Phil bought a X-Men slabbed book from me. Easy transaction and quick payment Thanks!
  16. Marvel Silver Age and First appearance collection group shot Hope to add a DD #1, Avengers #1 and FF #5 soon
  17. Ankur rocks!!! He was easy to deal with and communicated openly and is a great addition to this community of collectors Will definitely buy from again
