zekebarrett Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I haven't ever ordered from DF but it's my understanding that shipments from the UK come in faster than DF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefs1313 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 How many did everyone preorder? 10 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicfan17blue Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Based on all of this last minute preorder interest the print run is probably going to end up higher than Bedlam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicfan17blue Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 never know...the board is a small microcosm of the buying public. True, but a few weeks ago someone tallied about a 1000 copies preorder just from boardies not counting viperdays large individual order. There will probably be at least a few hundred add between now and monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John R Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I talked to the owner of my LCS and they were ordering 25, which is pretty high for that store. I pre-ordered 2 and will look at adding to it once I read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBT Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Based on all of this last minute preorder interest the print run is probably going to end up higher than Bedlam. I doubt it, Bedlam was hyped for a long time before, and then the NYCC variants being over paid for prior to the launch of the actual book, turned it into an out and out frenzy, plus it had like 7 or 8 covers. EoW will be high because of the cover, and a popular writer, but I would wager it falls around the high teens, maybe low twenties. All that being said, small print runs dont make a book, just like variants dont stop a book. Quality and desirability rule the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Spencer said offical print run for regular Bedlam was ~24607, so I could see with everyone(boardies and retailers) not wanting to get caught off guard that this could reach 25K+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBT Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 i know what the print run is, and what he said. My points remain, and my opinion is most likely 15-18K, maybe stretching as high as the low 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necessaryevil Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I have a few of this on order. I mainly buy what I want to read and if I get lucky then that's a plus. I do pick up the odd copy of comics mentioned on here if I can still bag them in my LCS for cover. Currently toying with getting the DF 9.8 offer on this.

My points remain, and my opinion is most likely 15-18K, maybe stretching as high as the low 20s. I hope you are right and the print run is no higher than 20k Saga's is 37K for number 1, so it isnt make or break even if it is "higher". Even Bedlam's run is still about half of any big two book, ones that never move above cover. People here attribute far to much to low print runs. If the low print run is the source of the value, then the book isnt as stable long term. For me personally, I like to see a book be valuable on it merits. That's one of the strongest indicators to me that saga will remain number 2 to walking dead from this era. It's worth 200 slabbed, with a 37K print run, and each month the number of issues printed goes up. That's a recipe for long term success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how many books out there have a small print run and not desired. If the book is good then we all know that hype will drive the price on the secondary market.
