  1. So this cannot be confirmed prior to opening the product? I don't have problems with buying used editions, but I typically look for sealed 1st editions. I thought there might be another method of inspection on the cover.
  2. How much will it burn your buns when Aquaman crosses the $1 billion mark? Just wondering.
  3. 100% winning percentage for both the Finals and MVP is light-years better than 33% of both titles.
  4. Henry Cavill doesn't care about a Snyder Cut. It was Superman's trilogy finale, though, so he probably liked it a lot regardless. Ben Affleck wants to see a Snyder Cut. Gal Gadot doesn't seem to care either way. Jason Momoa wants to see a Snyder Cut. Ezra Miller wants to see a Snyder Cut. Ray Fischer wants to see a Snyder Cut. Ciaran Hinds is disappointed in the theatrical release and wants to see a Snyder Cut. 5/7 of your lead actors/actresses want to see the Snyder Cut. Come on, WB, use your freaking brain(s)! I'm thinking about emailing them and asking if we can crowdfund the assets required to make this thing happen...
  5. Does anyone know how to tell the difference between 1st/2nd/3rd/etc editions of the Spawn: Origins hardcovers? I bought Volumes 9 & 10 for 75% off recently, and I'd prefer to own the 1st prints. I'm guessing that there may be a standard for how to tell edition of books? Is there a method for distinguishing TPB editions, too? One of you has to know! Plz.
  6. As usual, I have no pictures... My dad gave me a Captain America vibranium shield shirt. My mom gave me a Captain America vibranium shield Hallmark ornament and an Infinity Gauntlet coffee mug (the good one).
  7. How is this possible for a movie so "deep in the red"!?
  8. For one of the alleged "nobody cares", you sure seem to be invested as a 3rd-party poster to a conversation that didn't involve you... Actions speak louder than words. Oh, and people other than you do care. Again lending credence to the pretentious nature of your posts. Who? People I know who think they're cool. Oh, also, the people looking to buy them... Very misinforming posts you're sharing here. There's nothing else to be said, really, so we can move on.
  9. I'm not sure if I understand correctly, but... You're telling me that dozens of people will be investing in 1 car, and they're going to transfer ownership every month? Someone's gonna take that money and run at some point, if I am understanding correctly. Unfortunately, that's the way of our world. Generations continually become less and less 'thoughtful' of one another. Instead of checking on your neighbors to make sure that they have enough, they're checking to see if they need to 1-up them. I'm okay with people being selfish, but this is a plague of something much worse than that. Back to the topic - this is an awful idea. It look like people know history of something similar that did not work out.
  10. I did not see a topic for this yet, so sorry if it's been mentioned and I didn't see it. If you're not familiar with Marvel's Slipcase Box Sets, they have released 1 every year since 2014. Here are the previous ones: 2014: Marvel's Famous Firsts 2015: Marvel's Secret Wars 2016: Marvel's Civil War 2017: Star Wars 2018: Marvel's Infinity Gauntlet 2019's will be "Avengers: Earth's Mightiest". Most of these slipcase sets have coincided with MCU/Disney events. This one will collect the best of the Avengers titles in advance of Avengers: Endgame. They collect the entirety of the comic books and issues that crossover into the event. Infinity Gauntlet contains said title, Infinity War, Infinity Crusade, Silver Surfer, etc etc etc. They're some of the best "instant collections" that you can buy IMO.
  11. Really? If you go back and read through this thread, I was directly asked about the games that I have. I didn't "hijack" anything. Everything said after the underlined comment is pretentiously opinionated. Again, passive-aggressive comments (that don't further discussion) interjected into a discussion between the A-and-B users can be left at the door. Thanks.
  12. What kind of deflection is this? What does intelligence have to do with this topic or conversation..? It's about buying a couple of games for dirt-cheap in 2005. It has close-to-nothing to do with smarts other than pulling the trigger on buying them for such a low cost. One guy is conveying history - and the other - "logic". They're not always one and the same. Passive-aggressive posts by the non-A and B posters that don't contribute to this conversation can be left out. Thanks.
  13. At no point in time was this ever implied by me. Making assumptions and/or inferring information that isn't actually provided is no good excuse. That analogy you're providing is 100% off-base.
  14. Why the f^&* are people doing this? I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
  15. Prior to the New 52, Aquaman was still such a joke of a character. I would've been right there with you telling people to lay off the meth. I don't really ever see any Marvel vs DC film stuff around here, which is a great change of pace. Seemingly everywhere else, that conversation is had with every film release. I'm also just in it for good quality moving-pictures. I love the MCU and I loved the Snyder-led Worlds of DC. Justice League kinda put me off (give us the f^&*ing Snyder Cut already!) but Aquaman has given me faith that other directors can make future films 'fit' in with the already-established continuity, tone, and visual styles.
  16. Except that it did. Sorry that you couldn't find such a steal. Your text on a chat board can't change recorded history. What you've typed is incorrect. The evidence is the 2 games that were bought and are still owned. if you think I still have that receipt from a purchase made in high school... The point that I am missing is your argument. You're basing everything on logic and conjecture that are nil in this instance. I'm not disagreeing with any of it, but you're just flat-out incorrect. That is what you are missing.
  17. Except that it isn't. The local K-Mart here bought "used games". They slapped their own UPCs on them, so the manufacturer SKU is completely irrelevant. You can talk your way around this all you'd like - what happened did happen. It's history. At this point there's nothing to discuss. I don't know how or why it happened - but it did. All of your logic and conjecture surrounding the situation doesn't make a lick of difference. The Star Wars DVDs provide evidence for this exact situation. They have been out of production for 10 years. Finding those DVDs sealed, for similar dirt-cheap prices as SotN and FFVII, is a damn similar find. Maybe even more impressive considering the difference in technology between those 13 years.
  18. I don't really care too much about value. I decided awhile ago to go after all 3 Spawn: Origins collections (TPB, HC, and Signed/Limited HC). The LEs will have value, but it's more about completion than value, to me. I just started collecting TPBs, and HCs, last month. It's really nice to have stories in a single reading format than buying 6+ issues. The downside - it seems that not a lot of these collections have the covers. The Spawn TPBs don't, but the HCs do. It's also great for sharing. Instead of loaning my friends a stack of comics, I can give them a couple of books. I still love having runs and reading through them, but for stories that I have (or plan on having) slabbed books, the TPBs and HCs become more and more sensible for me. It's also a lot easier for me to locally find single issues than books, too. There are 5 stores within 5 miles that have comics and books, but I've already found and bought pretty much everything they had in stock that I'd be interested in.
  19. Action Comics #684 CGC 9.8 SS by Roger Stern. Completed my Death of Superman signed-by-writer run.
  20. This week I added: Absolute Batman: The Killing Joke (30th Anniversary Slipcase) Age of Ultron TPB Infinity (2013) TPB Infinity Gauntlet TPB Infinity War TPB Spawn: Origins Collection HC 9 & 10 I'll have to pick up an Infinity Crusade TPB somewhere online soon.
