comicfan17blue Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Actually, Midtown has advanced orders for #1. They're $2.98 apiece, but you don't have to pay extra for a bag and board like TFAW. I ordered a few today. I stand corrected about Midtown. You were right about the pre-order though. I tried to order some a few weeks ago, and it wasn't available on their site. It's back up now, but as an advanced order. No, it looks as though Midtown is getting wiser. The "advanced orders" button is there preorder button but the difference is issues #1 and #2 are at a 15% discount if you look at #3 it is at there normal advance discount of 35%. Thus the just reduced the discount for those trying to order now, versus in January for #1 and earlier this month for #2. Just an FYI viperdays has said a couple times that FOC is 3/4 for issue #1 and it releases on 3/27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperdays Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Yes, better get those orders in by Monday...or not...whatever :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra83 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Ok so Midtown is at an "advanced preorder" which is at 15% as opposed to a "preorder" at TFAW which is at 20% off the cover price. So I assume both sites should pack them very safely...Im wondering if I should order 10. I would like to get a couple slabbed and also one for reading and one for my older bro. Whats a safe amount to order is what Im wondering. Im not going to go all big ballin Birdman on these like some of us have said they are doing (= I just want a comfy amount.

ItsJustRyan Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I think Cobra and Viper should battle like Pokemon! Hey Viper.... You hanging in there brother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stguchi Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I think some mentioned in a different thread that Midtown Limits to 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoComics Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Midtown has packing issues occasionally, with corners getting bumped either before or during shipment. It really is hit-or-miss with them, so what I've started trying to do is adding a couple of cheap oversized books to my order so they take the hits instead of the books that I prefer arriving in good shape, and it seems to work.

I would think you could get a 9.8 out of five (could be one), but at the low price of new releases, ten doesn't hurt too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicfan17blue Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I think some mentioned in a different thread that Midtown Limits to 8. I think this might apply after the issue is released not preorders, but not 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midtown is hit or miss. I've had great experiences and bummer experiences and really it's about 50/50. Have gotten 9.8's all the way down to 6.0ish for new books (shameful a few books I got - they new they were jacked). It's a dice roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra83 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) Ryan wow, 6.0 for new books 0_o. I honestly will be happy to pull a 9.8 for me and would be totally fine with the others in the 9's. Im not sure who to roll the dice with, Midtown or TFAW. Those 9.8 CGC are all gone from DF too huh? Theres nobody else selling those? I know I mentioned this before too but I liked the other covers soo much. I especially liked issue #2's cover. These new ones are growing on me (#1) but I kind of wish they made it in the first style. Edited February 27, 2013 by Cobra83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you all buying into the hype like me? The comics does look awesome. Hype is a powerful thing. I know ENTIRE companies that function almost entirely in hype. The problem is that if quality doesn't follow it, hype dies and so does the book. Jump in, but don't go too deep until you at least read it and decide whether you believe in the title. That's the best advice I can offer - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wushugushu Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Got a decent stack from 3 different sources. Great creative team so I have high expectations for this title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres nobody else selling those? I'm not slamming DF - they have a good service, just long waits - but you'd be better off buying a few books from Midtown or TFAW (or both). You'll hit a 9.8. If you don't I'll really be surprised. Yeah, that 6.0 was garbage (bedlam 1 with creasing, bad cover scratching, etc. looked like someone 'keyed' it). I gave it away as a reader.

mg1902 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Wouldn't have minded getting in on that 9.8 CGC from DF either... Too slow i guess. Not as slow as their shipping from what I hear - but I was still too slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
