Taco Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Didn't the one person a few pages back say he bought 500-1000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreezy Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I think this will be another Bedlam in terms of speculating. Too many people buying gobs of copies for it to be say a NWM or PP. Or it can be another SAGA. Established writer taking on a new property after success with other titles. Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it can be another SAGA. Established writer taking on a new property after success with other titles. Hmmm. True, I had thought of that before posting. I wasnt around for the pre-ordering stage of Saga. Were people buying 100-200 copies right off the rip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revival_Hoarder Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I am one who ordered 100 of #1, and to boot, I also ordered 100 of #2! It is a win-win for me either way, special dividend money from 2012 R_H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodor Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) I think this will be another Bedlam in terms of speculating. Too many people buying gobs of copies for it to be say a NWM or PP. Or it can be another SAGA. Established writer taking on a new property after success with other titles. Hmmm. Im pretty sure Saga skyrocketed because it won comic of the year. In December you could get a CGC 9.8 for 70-100. Comparing this book (or any book) to Saga in February is a little bit premature. Especially since we don't know much about it other than its a Sci-fi western with a talented team. Edit: It's February not January..

krighton Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 i don't think anyone ordered 500 or 1000. That would be a bit silly, unless they're a major comic store, even then that's alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viperdays Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Didn't the one person a few pages back say he bought 500-1000? I will be ordering 250 of #1 and 150 of #2, #3 and #4 . Total investment is approx $1400 for 700 books. If it flops I still have wiggle room with selling sets, IF it soars I will be positioned nicely. One doesn't need to have a large store when there is e-bay to sell to collectors/Investors/speculators/other dealers etc around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember youtube videos about the pre-orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Linguini Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 im cutting my order from 10 to 2. too many people are getting in on this book and i don't want to be like FF or all of those other Hickman books before Manhattan Projects that sucked so bad.

Seems to be working out well for Nowhere Men, eh ViperDays? That said, . I just wouldn't have the time, nor care or afford the overhead of bagging, boarding, boxing, paying for postage and shipping that many books. If it explodes, congrats. Odds are that it won't be the next TWD. I hope it is? Best of luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair points, but remember this isnt a BigBloatedTwo release Image has published other flop books by Hickman. I can't remember the name but it started with T and has a similar cover to Manhattan Project. It blowed hard. When Hickmans on, he's amazing! But when hes off its like "why did we restart Fantastic Four? Why did we kill Johnny Storm, Again?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krighton Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) when you order that many you end up competing against yourself when you go to sell them...unless you're just going to sit on them for a couple years and hope for the best, then slowly filter them onto the market.
