you think your buddy would have got 1000 copies if it had stayed at 1000 print run?

:screwy:

 

i think that was the point, to get as many as he possibly could. Personally, I think they should have made him eat 1000 and go bankrupt lol, simply for trying to get an entire print run of a book.

 

 

I am sure many other stores tried the same thing, but would not admit it.

How can you force someone to buy 1000 copies if the company changes the rules?

 

I was mostly being funny, but that question you ask is sort of equivalent to:

 

How can you place an order you know can't possibly be filled, then complain when the company acts to actually give you what you asked for?

 

Him trying to order the entire run, is sort of equivalent to them changing the rules. Diamond could turn around and say "Don't order something you dont actually want".

Image breached the contract when it changed a material term (the number of copies available/print run) even if it was intended to fulfill the request. To the extent that the buyer requested 1000 copies, it would be construed as "as many as are available". All of this stuff is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code. Not that anyone really cares. lol

Oh I care a little bit that you're butchering the application of the UCC.

At first Walking Dead #103 variant was limited to 1,000

 

BEFORE the final orders were due, Diamond sent shops an email warning that it had changed to order as many as you like.

 

 

I adjusted my order accordingly.

 

Any shop that didn't has ONLY themselves to blame.

The Chew #29 variants are indeed limited to one thousand.

 

Rob took a bunch to NYCC

 

The rest got allocated to 10% of a shops Chew #29 order that took the time to fill out the line order for the variant. If they missed that. They got none regardless what their #.

 

Of the 1,900 remaining retailers, 1,700 are fat & lazy.

Most missed it.

 

ie: If your shop orders 100 Chew 29, they qualified for 10, "IF" they ordered it..

 

Hope that helps

I have a few shops locally and it broke down like this:

 

Shop A - ordered 19 copies and got 1 (mine)

Shop B - ordered 27 copies and got 0 (wouldn't hide it since they charge max ebay value for variants)

Shop C - ordered 31 copies and got 0 (same as above)

Shop D - couldn't get a straight answer.

 

Shop B and C were not pleased when I mentioned that it should have been allocated at a 1 to 10 ratio since they get every other variant that they qualify for.

 

Someone on here (or in the chew thread) mentioned a print run of just over 10k so there would be no way to fulfill a 1:10 ration and let Chris G and Rob bring them to NYCC in any quantity. That'd make it more than 1000 total.

>>That'd make it more than 1000 total.<<

 

Apparently you do not consider me a credible source.

 

That's perfectly fine.

 

Attach whatever number & scenario to the print run you like.

Based on order numbers, they were clearly not distributed at anywhere near 1:10 across the board. In the above example, it was 1:19 for Shop A, and then 0:58 combined on shops B and C.

Not knocking you as a source. It probably is 1000. Like you said, they were probably lazy about it and didn't order what they were entitled to receive.

 

I had to show a few employees at one of the stores my copy just to prove that they shipped with the regular 29. :makepoint:

They had to order THE ACTUAL VARIANT it to qualify for the 10% allocation.

Meaning: MOST shops missed it. the allocation percent was based on orders for the run.

 

The book is rare as hell...

Oh yeah...? Good for you. But I guess that depends on what you consider to be "information", huh? If we are talking about print runs on comic books, then, yeah, you got me!

 

Just curious, though...when exactly did I disagree with you on this thread...?

I am on team Larry :), but just to play :devil: -advocate

 

what constitutes "rare as hell" for a modern comic here? :baiting:

 

I think it means that, since there are only 1000 hells, and there are 1000 copies of this book, then they are equally rare...?

my question was on whether "1000" of any modern variant can be considered rare, but that is a humorous turn of language lol
