I don't think Arch would ever claim to be perfect in his moderation. Surprised you even went in that direction. His duck hunt analogy wasn't geared towards anything other than the example Balls is referring to up there. Lots of people doing strikeable behaviour, one person getting a strike. I think it's obvious you have issues with the way the Forums are moderated, but Arch has never been one to moderate based on someone disagreeing with him

Great thread. Always nice to get information about those older collections

Let's hear it for GPA lows!!!!1!

To reiterate my above post, I'm was very disappointed as well

I also agree. I had a subscription to the book at the time and I remember taking 176 out of that open-ended brown envelope they sent sub copies in and thinking "WTF is this sh**? Seriously? Cyclops is fighting a giant squid or octopus, or some sh**? Where is Paul Smith?" Of course I didn't cancel my sub and did find some of the books you mention to be quite good, but I was ready for PMS to be on that book for at least another year

That the Warrior Summer Special?

Thats pretty nuts. I'm glad I got my copy when I did before this madness hit. Now...to flip or not to flip Easy. Flip it now and buy it back after the movie tanks and prices drop back down to 2011 levels.

Beanworld!!!

The 5th season starts in February. I haven't changed my avatar since I signed up, so obviously I agree with the both of you

Cool. Alex will be able to read by the time you send it, bruv, if your collection is as tossed-about as mine is

Maybe he meant "Copper is Heating/Selling Well on eBay" as a sort of leading question in a declarative format

Gorgeous books, Scott.

Yeah, seriously. Congratulations. Next, you need to upgrade...

The teasing is over! I just posted my top 3 acquisitions of 2012. Here's the one you've been waiting to see along with my commentary from my post in General. Enjoy! Nine, yes, NINE years of searching FINALLY turned up this "it doesn't exist" impossibility -- the Remco Warlord figure with a little something extra. This package contains the Warlord Remco mini-comic "Battle Beneath the Earth"!!!!!!! Another FANTASTIC Warlord item for my collection! Ian Levine brought this comic to my attention back around 2003 when he was finishing up his DC collection. He stated that info he had from Paul Levitz is that this comic was cancelled, never made, and is not officially supposed to exist. Certainly most of the Warlord figures did not have the comic and apparently the few that did were meant to have been destroyed since, as Ian relayed, Paul Levitz was so adamant that they had scrapped the comic. That didn't stop me from searching for either the loose comic or the ultimate prize, the carded figure that contains the mini-comic! I'd have been happy to have either item but I'm just a little extra elated that I found the mini-comic with the Warlord figure MOC! You can see the Woolworth's price sticker on the card, so apparently this figure with the mini-comic was sold at an ordinary retail outlet! One other note, I've compared this MOC item side by side with another MOC Warlord and I can't find a single difference between the two other than the presence of the mini-comic in this one. It's a puzzling mystery why an incredibly few copies of this Warlord figure made it out into the retail world containing the mini-comic! Without getting into specifics, where did you find it? And how?

Love me some Walt Kelly!

WHOAAAAAAA! I know!! How does he hang from the ceiling like that??? I'm more impressed with how the Goblin stays atop that flying lipstick tube he's riding than anything else, to be honest

Thank you for this thread.

So I guess "Lucy Lane" is like, a relative of Lois's?

poopy Marvel, what about DC's? 100s of lovely DCs. Same guy, or new guy? Oh, and congrats!

Very nice, this is a book that I have wanted to upgrade for years. I would be very happy with this. Yeah. it's been tough to upgrade for some reason. This one is a CGC 9.0. I have two other copies, about 3.0s. Want 'em? Nah, I have got a couple of 5.0/6.0 nothing as nice as that 9.0 Don't tell anyone, but I think 9.0 might be a bit of a gift... Also, see that funny business on the back cover, upper right corner? That's from the CGC case. That'll press out

didn't realize Marnin found these at a garage sale Mass pedigree, garage sale, tomato, tohmahto

I myself like the tag line: "Enter: Luke Skywalker! Will he save the galaxy -- or destroy it?" It's about as appropriate to the film as asking "Will he save the galaxy -- or have a nice meal?"

I personally would like very much to see a live version of the Beyonder, as long as they stay on-model from Secret Wars 2. Jheri-curl? Check. Mullet? Yes! White leather jacket, white shirt, white pirate pants tucked into white Uggs? AB-SO-FRIGGIN-LUTELY. Epic.

Ranx kicks . That's a good issue.

His head isn't detached. Did someone say it is? The actual listing we are referring to says "detached head" and I have seen it a few other times labeled that way. Is that notation on the slab, or is that part of a description in a ComicLink listing? CL has been calling it a "decapitation cover" for years, for some reason That's what the CGC note says "Decapitation cover." Not "detached head," which is significantly more awesome. I concur. In fact, that might be the most awesomest of all descriptions for that issue, "Body-head dissonance" notwithstanding
