Second print has been ordered before the first print has hit the shelves. I think I pre-ordered 8 different versions of it last month... haha that's great.

Mijael.Levy Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) I know people are crazy now paying $1200 - $1500 (cgc 9.8) for Jedi vs sith 1 or Knights of the Old Republic 9 but even if they are scarcer books i think the caracters will not be as popular as other characters introduced in less expensive books .

Darth Revan has a following from the Knights of the Old Republic video games and has had figures made of him. I think 42 is the book to own, not 9. wolfman18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok got you 42 is a good "investment" now in case market decides its the 1st full . But CGC label is not helping the cause because 9 is labeled as 1st full app Edited December 21, 2020 by Mijael.Levy silversurfer275 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I think most people buying this book haven't looked inside it. They are going off a label.

Hey Kids, Comics! Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I am ignorant of this so excuse me if this is a stupid question. Is KOTOR 9 frst "civilian" Revan and Tales 42 first Darth Revan? Sort of like first Eddie Brock vs first Venom... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comic stores don't have backstock of these things. I run across them from time to time. Most shops dont care about them. I have better luck at Flea Markets. I found one that has an early Venom app I bought for $2 and I think I sold it for $100 last year. It happens just not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like pie Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Similar debate on Kanan #1 vs #6. #1 has one panel with both Sabine and Ezra speaking. More than a cameo IMO. Recent sales of #1 are lower than #6 but I suspect part of that is #1 has a larger print run. #1 ratio is a $600 book in 9.8 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ygogolak Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 On 12/19/2020 at 6:35 PM, kimik said: A big part of that is due to stores not going big on the first print orders. I was expecting 200,000 - 250,000 print run since the book has been telegraphed and solicited since early 2020. Looking at the current state of new issue orders, 100,000ish is more realistic excluding the store variants. That is a far cry from the 2015 SW 1, which was over 900,000 in January 2015 according to Comichron Going to be a lot more than 100k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hearing that a lot of stores in other parts of the USA and Canada took the same approach with ordering for this book as they did with other recent SW relaunches and did not go big. Those that I talked with who did up their orders do not have enough to meet demand. I figured Batman Three Jokers levels for this book, but it does not look like it will hit that.
