Walking Dead #101 Ghost Variant Store List

[N/A]

Ok.

 

Wasn't squirming at all. Just posting what I know from CBIA & ComicsPro forums.

 

Tinfoil hat, eh?

From what I read, it's not a ComicsPro variant like you said it was. So where was I wrong? Sounds like someone put together a variant, like you do. Said person let some other shops in on the variant, unlike you.

 

I would hardly call it the "standard wildly_fanciful_statement."

 

When did he call it a Comicspro Variant?

[KONG]

the hell is "standard wildly_fanciful_statement." in english?

Your attitude around this release has made me sad that I've contributed to any of your exclusives. I want to feel sorry for you, but since you're pouting like my 2 year old I can't.

 

I'm also sure that the way you're handling this most likely means that you're going to be left out of any future "ghost variants" that may arise as the bleeding cool article states.

 

If you're that upset, go make a store exclusive cover for TWD and charge $75 for it. That way you can have some of your sense of entitlement back.

[ItsJustRyan]

That's one way to make a quick $2000

Tim,

 

I'm not pouting at all.

The variant is cool as hell.

 

My problem is with my retailer organization. There are 300+ of us.

30 members are involved in the it's NOT a ComicsPro variant.

270+ members are angry. The forum is exploding. It was suggested that a shared variant could have made the org vulnerable to anti trust laws, so a splinter group was formed.

 

I'm angry with the obvious ruse.

 

If you can't see that point, I don't know what to say.

I can see that point, fair enough and what a headache.....

 

I feel like Diamond hired an armed, covert gov't team that arrived in black unmarked SUV's wearing black suits (and shades!) while handcuffed to a silver briefcase, to drop off the variants at undisclosed locations

 

:shrug:

 

This whole thing gives me that uneasy feeling, like the variant flood-gates have opened. But maybe that's just me reminiscing about the 90's....

There. Fixed my post.

Correction - $2,500 bucks.

30 stores got together and did a variant. I don't see what the big deal is. I'm annoyed because after #100 I am broke and tired of variants but I don't mind a random variant coming out every now and again.

[500hpAudiS4]

Went to my LCS, Flying Color Comics in Concord, CA and they had about 50 of these. Face value for the first 2 as long as you buy a regular 101 cover. Anything after that is market value which he said was around $25. Problem was his whole stock had spine creases and ticks . Still picked up 2 though.

[Legion HQ]

Damn you all and your bubbly hype! I broke down and bought 1 for $25, 2 for $15, and 2 for $9.99 (+ 3 Revival #2)....

[Legion HQ]

Oh, and I think the cover is cool as hell.

[HugeRosen]

How much you want to bet the buyers of the auctions ending today at $100 don't pay?

+1 2 3 4

[wolf_2099]

Another Dimension in Cagary, 9.99.

 

They have a bunch.

 

I may head up there now.

 

Edit - Which is hilarious because they have a copy for $55 on auction of their eBay store.

[Ghosted-migration]

Sour Grapes? Sure.

 

True

 

This situation was ComicsPro formed a splinter group for this book.

 

False.

[wolf_2099]

I can confirm anther dimension has then.

$10 limit 2 per person.

If you really want a copy, it may be worth calling an see f they ship.

They have an ebay store donut may be possible.

[wolf_2099]

I also spoke to the owner. He said 27 stores in north America only.

[Phill the Governor]

I think they should have abandoned the regular 101 cover and just used the ghost cover as the standard one. Then - from now on, only release GOOD covers like this one - and a variant every .... 10 issues max?

 

Hey wow!

[HugeRosen]

Every 10 is a good number. Or do like you said and actually make a good original cover.
