e.s. Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 i understand that the rules for print runs can be all over the place for floppies, but i have to wonder what are the "rules" for printing up TPB Collections? and why are we as collectors (regardless of where we live) not able to find an easy place to purchase those TPBs? i would like to own as many different language TWD TPB's as i can, but Amazon and sometimes eBay seem to be the only venues to make such purchases as someone living in the United States. is there a legal reason, or simply lack of enough interest, for Image/Skybound not to sell these foreign trades? Honestly, I have no idea. Books licensed to publishers in European, Asian or South American countries generally aren't sold into the U.S., though, because there's no real market for American comics in other languages. For example, you can find French comics in French here in the States, but since The Walking Dead is available here in English, why would a store that carries French comics stock that? -e.s.

krighton Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) well, no slight mean with the poke the cage comment..more like a let him know what's going on in the thread. I tell my son all the time to go 'poke the bear' to tell her (older daughter) dinner is ready. Anyways the internet is nothing if not a mass of misunderstood statements.

ItsJustRyan Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Beyond that, fcuk the Internet. It's all well and good that you can post about every little thing that aggravates you, but honestly, forums aren't the place to handle disputes. Believe it or not, things like manners and decorum do exist, and just because you feel like you've been slighted in some way, doesn't mean the first course of action is to respond in kind. There's always a middle ground, and better still, there's a high road. Generally speaking, both lead to better places. -e.s.

Everyone realizes there's something called "weather," right? Nate lives in Massachusetts and I know from talking to him since Seattle that there's been pretty severe weather up there off and on since he got home from the convention. And ComicsPro was only just a month ago this past weekend, so no, you did not bid on one of the variants "way over a month ago." Just to put things in clearer perspective: ComicsPro was 2/21-23; ECCC was 3/1-3. -e.s.

comicartfan Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I live in NH, but we work in Boston. We have been slammed this winter....Literally a snow storm once a week. This E.S. guy speaks the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy0076-migration Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 The resolution is that Nate refunded my money. As i am obviously 100% wrong here, this will be the last post from me on this topic. But i will say that resolving a problem or finding a middleground takes 2 people. If he says that he was too busy too mail the art then he was too busy. Thats that. Its over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
