I have a store here that is offering first 10 free and then as many as you want if you spend $10 in the store. They have sales as well, so I think that is a great store approach.

 

They have an omnibus I have been waiting to nab for the quick flip - hopefully I can snag it when the sale starts.

 

I will be glad to get all the books if I can so I can "flip" a bunch to my daughters, maybe something will stick. They seem to like certain titles but are resistant to becoming fans of comics in general.

It's great that some of you support your LCS.

My opinion, the 2,000 brick & mortar shops are the reason that this paper business is bucking the digital trend. They're outposts for fans, entry points for newbies & the petri dish for pop culture development.

 

Anyway...

This is how it usually goes down on the CGC forum.

 

You guys will identify one book as the "it" item of FCBD 2016.

You'll complain about availability, limits, condition ect.

You will then savage the retailers that could not provide you enough free items...

 

Then you'll come here & argue print runs.

:)

 

Happens every year.

 

FCBD is always a dash and grab around here, so I don't participate. However, if people like Larry are so put off by the whole event, perhaps next year, they could let us know when the FCBD issues appear in Previews? That way, we all can order the ones we want, ask the store to set them aside without stamping them, and then everyone's happy! :foryou:

I will go to my favourite LCS tomorrow and see what I can get from FCBD. Last year was not bad with a few good ones. Plus, I can pick up my orders there. Weather is good and sunny so it is a great time to go. :foryou:

Ha!

 

I have embraced FCBD since it's inception, buying in bigger each year.

Best day of the year for fans, industry outreach, families & newcomers.

 

I hate the CGC parasites stopping by for free lunch...

I Will be looking for the

 

DC Super Hero Girls 1

Rom 0

Avengers 1

 

Fun day, taking a bunch of kids from the neighborhood with me, if just one or two of them get into the hobby its worth dealing with the crowds. Usually don't look forward to going, and then get there and have a fun time :)

I get my monthly order through the mail from a long-time friend who has a mail order business. I usually go to the local store for FCBD, but I recognize that the books aren't really "free", so I give them a little something for the ones I pick up.

Anymore its just become ridiculous. The lines to get in are just terrible along with an hour wait. Id like to buy comics while I am there, but its impossible due to crowds. My local shop dresses up and many in line do as well, but its just too many people in a smaller shop.

 

I just avoid it now.

The same parasites are on several websites now Larry. Single out this one

over some of the sites which are much worse is a bit much.
