Dynamic Forces Ordering? 0

[mikenyc]

I’m sure many of you have ordered from DF directly; I have not. I own a lot of their books but always bought on the secondary market or from shops. Their website is a bit dated and not the easiest to navigate. 
 

When you do a search it brings up multiple items that allow you to add to cart, have a “coming soon” label, but a release date that has already passed, sometimes months or years past. 
 

Do they ever ship items that have a “coming soon” with a past date or should I only be looking for in stock items?

This should be your question, and in my experience with them, the answer is no.

Just to throw more gas on the fire:

This is what their website looked like 20 years ago in their heyday:

This is what their website looks like today:

This is what I typed in 2014 about Dynamic Forces when creating the CGC board origin thread.  

 I discovered the site after first getting into the hobby again after 15 years and making the mistake of ordering "cool stuff" from Dynamic Forces. After waiting 6-8 months for my order to never arrive, I googled Dynamic Forces sucks and here I am

Are they owned by the same people as Dynamite or are they related to each other in some way?

It seems that I should simply buy anything I like from DF from a seller at some point in the future, lol.

95% of my DF exclusives were bought at 80% off or more, usually at auction.

It may be close to 20 years, if not more, since I purchased a DF comic book but I do recall that I did so from a comic book mail order company. It was either Westfield Comics or DCBS, and it very likely still took a very long time to receive it. In my limited experience with DF comic books, as shadroch notes, their value plummets; perhaps after 40 years the ones I purchased will be worth what I paid.

Occasionally they will produce a very rare variant that will take off in the secondary market. 
For the most part though they are well over priced.
