  1. Have you seen the Blue and Yellow foil Comic Vault Live covers that go on sale Friday?
  2. I ended up with the Gleason reg cover. Went to my normal LCS and they had pulled it for me (due to my admiration for the webhead covers) so I bought it. This is still not Last Ronin nuts with some 80 covers of issue #1. I read Alien last night and while it was ok, I was not wow'd.
  3. There is no issue with not getting more than 1 Not 1st Print, that is silly. But limiting someone from getting a 1st Print and a Not 1st Print from the same store. That absolutely is silly.
  4. Honestly the strategy is not appealing to anyone unless they have an untapped mine of 1st prints that is hidden from Bad Idea's ever watchful eye. Having a city, like Austin, that has zero shops that are getting Bad Idea books is a telling sign. But then cities, like Dallas, have like 6 shops. You would think that they would want to spread that out some not clump it together in such a manner. It does not seem sustainable. Hopefully they can fix the print run issue and not short their backbone of stores by 51% on every issue. Otherwise they are doomed for failure. P.S. my ebay comment was a joke
  5. I only picked up the main cover. While I like the Gleason the virgin would have been the only one of interest to get and yeah forget that noise. I will read it tonight while waiting on servers to do their thing at work.
  6. My understanding they are both limited to 1 per customer. So much that you cannot get a 1st print and a not 1st print from the same shop.
  7. I waited for my N1P as well. I actually am going to let @BladeTX borrow it so he can read it also. I keep pushing him into non-WD books to read.
  8. Looks like there are some announcements planned in a couple days. Is this Fan Expo as a whole or Dallas specific?
  9. Lucky for me I already have a general disdain for his ethics and methods, does that mean I have my own HoS?
  10. You are spot on. Miserable people sometimes try to make people happy too and vice versa. It is a flawed system of assuming happy makes happy and miserable makes miserable. And on topic, I think this is a rare case where even after the suspension, we might not get any "defense" from Dylan at all. HoS will not stop him from trying to purchase from people nor will it stop him from doing business in general. It might cut into his customer-base some but I cannot fathom how his outlandish acts hasn't already done as much. With that, I am all for a 3 day rule, possibly a separate post that is linked? Or will it simply be added to the initial post?
  11. I am sure it is just protective covering. I picked up the book without a cover (not knowing about the cover originally) from a LCS then ended up getting a 2nd copy from my primary LCS with a cover. Some shops did what Marvel intended and removed them, others didn't and kept them together as that is what collectors would want. I am sure CGC will treat it like a COA or anything else not attached at manufacturing and just ignore/discard it.
  12. It is Non-Stop Spider-Man #1 and it is a slip cover that is not attached.
  13. I only made it to pay 7 before I realized there where 35 pages last night. I gave up and just skipped to the end....
  14. He is super active in the various groups but I have not seen his work.
  15. Third Eye Comics. Found them from a Bad Idea FB group and they follow up preorders with an email about who to contact and when to expect your orders to ship, etc. pretty classy. Glad you got em ordered 🙂
  16. I just pre-ordered last night #2 and #3 (1st Print) from a shop. I have not seen anywhere with "Not 1st Print" of them yet. Also ordered Tankers.
  17. Finally received my "Not 1st Print" and read Eniac #1. Decent enough story. I am in for the 2-4 at least.
