ItsJustRyan Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I don't think it will be that high, despite the rumors (or what Hickman said). I may be wrong (which only happens half the time). R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsJustRyan Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hickman said [paraphrasing] that this was something like three times bigger than MP with regards to pre-orders. Once again, paraphrasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjoseph7772 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Im curious how big a drop we will see on #2 print run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjoseph7772 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 People should start speculating on the #2 and #3 issues. MIght make it worthwhile for some. Not just talking about EOW either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsJustRyan Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 EoW has a GHOST variant of #1. I'm predicting (and offering you bait to throw in my face later) that THE print run will end up at 33,000 (and I think that is still on the high end). That's my number/guess...

krighton Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 It's a really good book and I'm in for the full ride too bad the book won't be worth much I'll remember you said that Why would he be wrong? same reason I was wrong when I said the exact thing about Saga......you just never know for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beige Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I don't care about the print run Ryan - it is what it is. I thought Larry might have shared his virus with you - just asking was all. Have the Ghost AND Virus ever had a variant for the same book? This may be a first, and should be quite interesting if it transpires. I can't see why Image would object, Stephenson seems to print what he likes,when he likes, so having a Ghost AND Virus shouldn't be an issue? What do you think mate? I cancelled my order so have a care factor of Zero. A head to head of Ghost vs Virus would be "facinating"...(Said with best Mr Spock voice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsJustRyan Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I thought one group gets a book for Ghost, one for Phantom Why did you cancel your order?? R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beige Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I thought one group gets a book for Ghost, one for Phantom Why did you cancel your order?? R Exactly as K said above. I don't mind pre-advertised IN-HOUSE variants, but to say no, and then be upto 4 and counting is BS. Luckily Midtown agreed to cancel - they didn't have to but did. I guess they had more than enough people waiting. As for Ghost and virus, if they both pay Image, why would Stephenson et al not take both orders. Its not like integrity is a strong suit of his really,is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) well I kept my preorder and ordered the FP variant....I never do the Ghost or Phantom, just seems too gimmicky...I like Con specific variants & RRP because they seem unique and rare in comparison to most other variants.

Mike's Rack Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Where did this talk of a phantom variant originate? Is there a good source or just speculation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
