The book costs $5.

Slackjaw wants you to buy at least 4 @ $35 a piece.

Those people also have plane tickets, hotel bills, food costs, $400 convention passes to pay for.....oh and they have a long list of friends who they are already getting stuff for at cost. lol

 

San Diego is , far and away, the most expensive convention to attend. Combine the sheer volume of exclusives (making transporting difficult ) to that and you've got a situation where people asking for exclusives should be looking to help out the guy picking up the exclusives as much as they are looking for help.

 

Bottom line, expecting exclusives from sdcc for the cost of the book alone lacks empathy and may indicate the friend who is getting you the books is a better friend to you than you are to him.

$20 a box, on top of shipping costs, for anything over 10lbs...and it goes up a lot if it's 20lbs.

i went to a shop near my office just a few minutes ago. they didn't get issue two and they said they ordered it. they called their other locations. none of them got issue two today.

 

I'm going to stop by a couple shops on my way home this evening.
