krighton Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) i have a couple copies i got from Midtown that have dings on the corner if anyone wants them. Just don't expect amazing bomb proof packaging. And to Midtown's credit, they gave me back my money and told me to keep them. So that's something you don't see often.

MightyBeanComics Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Sorry to hear that. ED affects quite a few from what I hear. I actually meant the TV heads, but I walked right into that one didn't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N/A Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 What are these hunger games? Apparently the next big thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomUga Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) Well it was a trilogy book series. I read it a couple years ago.Sort of like a Post-Apocalyptic Battle Royale (Japanese movie). I liked the book, hope the movie is as good. They say this has potential of being the biggest grossing movie of the year.

DomUga Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hunger Games is more of a post apocalyptic scenario due to War. Add zombies in anything it would be better haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEnglandGothic Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 What are these hunger games? Apparently the next big thing? Battle Royale rip off Not that the sequels weren't. This will be a nice launch pad for more young adult books to carve a niche in the movie market (ala Twilight/Harry Potter), I'm looking forward to some of them coming. They might even replace comic movies in popularity and actually get better crafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Battle Royale was more adult oriented so hard to compare though alot of people do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troydivision1 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 So, my experiment in old time comic loving resulted in 80% success. Does anyone want to continue the experiment with their friends? I can mail the book out tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico Esq Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Saga is still selling strong on ebay with sales coming in at $8.00 to $10.00 before shipping and handling. I imagine that this book was under ordered because of false comparisons to Ex Machina. I think people assumed that other retailers would be ordering in larger quantities than they did and that the title wouldn't enjoy the sucess it has in the secondary market. Anyone want to revise their predictions regarding the print run. I still think that orders were between 25K-30K but won't be surprised if the print run was even slightly lower than 25K. I do not think that there is any way that there are 200K copies of this title. Also, has anyone seen what the second print cover image looks like? Last, but not least, has anyone heard of any convention variant cover(s)? Thanks for any insight you are willing to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 i think someone just pulled that 200k number out of the air....i'm sure it's closer to the 25k range.....i saw 3 guys today walk into a LCS and all wanted a copy of Saga....sorry we're sold out. the signed ones wihout any type of COA are going for between $30 & $50.

krighton Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) yeah, could well be upwards of 35k, i can't see it much higher though....has anyone still seen stacks and stacks of the book in their LCS? I know Branget mentioned he waded through 200. I only have 4 stores near me and they're all sold out. Edited March 22, 2012 by krighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
