BrooksR Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 My LCS has lots of copies of eniac 2 and 3 still on the shelf, as well as a handful of whalesvilles. I guess interest in them has waned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a lot of the books there, I’ll probably be the only one buying one copy each time I go until they are gone.

Lol I went into one shop to buy Tankers #1 and they tried to upsell me immediately for the entire run, I declined. However they did drop it to the normal cover price since I was not from there when I bought it. With that said when I was buying it they asked if I had bought one from their sister store. They were holding to the 1 per customer rule quite seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if someone was there every day maybe they’d say something, but if nobody is buying, why turn down a sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if it was someone just walking out and back in buying them over and over. I am right there with ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to get one from one of my shops, but I don't think I would have been too bummed if I didn't. What's the "prize," just an extra copy of that first book? There are quite a few places online that will allow you to pre-order. If you want multiple copies of that first issue, you should be able to pre order from different places, right? Or, is there something I'm missing? Edited June 16, 2021 by awakeintheashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not pre-ordering the whole run, that is not something I am willing to do. awakeintheashes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
