jonjesper Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 quickly crosses Saga off list of speculation buys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N/A Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 It was never on my list. I was hoping it would somehow find a way to make it off speculation lists. The good news is speculation is addictive and 99.9% of people buying a multitude of copies won't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendanb438 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I plan to buy a copy to read on the toilet. If I wipe with it what color label would CGC slab it in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maloney414 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 My prediction is that it will be like many of the "New 52" DC #1's. It may quickly sell for $10 or maybe even $15 due to LCS in certain areas underordering. People from those few shops will pay extra for it. Emphasis on few. But it will quickly settle down. Why? Because most LCS aren't underordering them. It seems like everyone is looking for the next big #1 sell out, and this book isn't taking anyone by surprise. The only way this book has legs is if it's GREAT, and I mean really great. And over the next few issues it attracts even more readers than the BKV fans already buying #1. You'll have plenty of time later to see if that's happening. I'm just buying 1 copy of #1 to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 i preordered some, probably grab 1 from each LCS i go to, top it off with a couple strays to spur a false sense of rarity in stores that only have 1 left and cause reorders. Might end up with 15. Thought ebay would be flooded with 50 saga auctions, not many so far. I really hope you're joking. mostly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) I hope not. just talked to DCBService and looks like there's a 2nd printing being offered for Saga (they wanted me to order them). They're completely sold out of the 1st printing and apparently there's huge demand. not saying that's a good or bad thing but if you sell out of a supposed 200k copies and people want more...

MadGenius Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) 200K?? It won't approach those numbers. It's going to be somewhere between 30-50K. Huge range, I know, but the ceiling on an Image #1 is still limited in today's market. Edited March 13, 2012 by MadGenius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) yeah that sounds way high....that's almost double the most popular comic title's weekly sales. i could see some stores not getting their full orders and having to ration.

krighton Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 seems like image hovers between 4k & 20k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadGenius Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 This will likely be the best selling single issue for Image this year. The best selling non-Marvel/DC book in February was BTVS at just under 30,000 copies. I think Saga #1 beats that in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) You've convinced me to go on my LCS run. Might as well grab minty copies of Saga while I go. muahahah anyways i'm paranoid by nature...when i figure there will be tons there i find out they got less than they ordered...when i figure it will be limited there's tons. So with that logic i think we all assume we can just waltz in and grab one off the shelves whenever we want and will be horrified by the results. midtown shipped 5 today (their max) not sure if they have any left.

N/A Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 There will be tons. I'm not worried. I just haven't done the LCS run in awhile so I'll try my best Beachbum impressions and check a few hundred copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) well in my smallish town of only 3 1/2 LCS's, supply & demand is sometimes skewed. So i normally have to leave early and wait for the doors to open or the good stuff is gone. I fully expect a large stack of Saga at 1 of the 3 stores but you never know (wonder if they're going to have to cover up that breastfeeding cover). My goal is also to grab a couple 9.8s before anyone else gets to flip through them. i know Peter Panzerfaust 2 (and the 1 2nd print) will be much harder to locate than saga Edited March 13, 2012 by krighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
