B/W Luke is selling for about the same as Boba....would have be a lot less than 5k....wonder if the breakfast is the only place they'll appear.

Aren't those usually in the 500 print run area?

 

Long term, it has got to be the one to have, I would almost have to believe.

 

I don't think Boba's will ever be hard to find.

Who do you think has the largest fan base, Luke or boba

If we are talking the entire world, and the entire merchandise available, Boba, easily.

 

If we are talking comics, I don't think it really matters.

Everyone is worried more about heat and print runs in our world. Boba is scorching right now, but I don't think it will be two months from now.

And it's not like Luke isn't popular.

Jedi Luke is awesome.

The action figure covers are popular because they look like the action figures did hanging on the rack at a store.

 

The black & white Luke looks like a page from a coloring book.

 

Those are very different types of nostalgia.

 

I'm sure the rarest action figure cover will be valuable, whatever it is, but if it doesn't look like the action figure hanging in the store... it's not as cool as it COULD have been.

Agreed. The BW action figure variant seems to be throwing too many variant gimmicks onto one cover. Why not make one for Deadpool too?

[Vikingreed]

I agree.

I wouldn't (and don't) want it. It defeats the purpose.

But some collector's probably love it.

I kinda agree. I don't like the look of it...but gotta keep the sets complete, so I had to snatch a few . Looking to pickup a couple more hopefully.

wow, snatching a 'few'...

Lucked out and found one guy who had some and randomly sent an e-mail. Won another on ebay earlier today.

Prices for this on ebay are insane….

I'm trying to be a completist about the AF covers but this may have to stay missing from my collection.

Boba is looking cheap...let's hope when people get home there's more competition on ebay

The first auctions on eBay are always the highest. Give it time and I'll bet they come down in price.

Exactly. I have seen this pattern repeated many, many times over the years for exclusives.

[Lethal_Collector]

More and more are popping up today, I'll wait...if I even want it... I'd like to get all the SW AF variants, but the B&W just doesn't fit, like having two puzzle pieces in the wrong spots. I may just stick with the color variants.
