ValiantFans.com Board - Since 2004

At one point I could have picked up 30 still in their clear plastic cases, but the guy wanted £5 each and would Not do a deal if I brought them all.
So I walked
Every now and then I would drop him a line, but he never sold.
May see if I can find his number.

A lot of those names sound made up. Except for Wolverhampton - they have a fc there. pretty much every one of those has an FC. (Except Dublin and Belfast) So you have never heard of cambridge. As in cambridge university? Oh well. Cambridge has two fc cambridge city and cambridge united ~ just sayin'

Hope that means they will order some for the shelves.
Actions speak louder than words.

Ok RICO I may start one over the next few weeks.
To a couple of seconds to get what pita was

Yeh but that's the fun.

Come on - you know you want that shadow man penguin.

That's what I figured. But still no love for valiant.

Hm, I really have no interest in buying variant covers. I'll pretty much only consider them if the 'regular' cover doesn't interest me (for instance 2013's Bloodshot #7) but even then, I'm so keen to just read the comic that I'll only put a little effort into trying to buy the variant before I give...

Your blaming a shop for the voices in your head

maybe the term modern age needs to be redefined?

When I ship anything that has some medium (and on up) value internationally I have the buyer pay for registered mail. Its expensive (I think it's $11.50). But it gets sent in a "special container" and it is tracked. It keeps me protected as a seller. :thumb: as an international buyer i ex...

So, what if you asked the guy at Forbidden Planet to buy you 10-20 Valiant books... Ask him to sell them to you at store cost (usually half off) and explain that you want him to stuff the boxes of potential new readers. Y'know, I just assumed (when I originally read your thread explaining the idea)...

I prefer the more confusing terms to associate comics to an era so I can confuse and isolate myself socially from the casual collector, or none reader. If I set decade as a term to my collecting habits I would be trying to include people into my hobby, by giving them a chance to understand what I am...

Does hawaili have interstate highways .

only available to 48 greater states? is their a few *SQUEE* states in America? otherwise known as the lower states ~ or 'Ok we just put up with them but I hope they leave?' So much for the United states of America. :P Whats that about? And as he / she is not specific how do you know which states he ...

I haven't tried because I know the answer.
Saying that I should ask.
Going to make a bicycle sign and lock outside the shop

Does seem high, but print run of first print s 40,000 and issue 7 sold 47,000 AND iis going to reprint.
So without to much focus on reselling, 7000 people do not have the first print of issue 1.
Word is still spreading.
I expect steady sales of 55000 soon. Not many comics can claim that.

In the uk, forbidden planet would advertise valiant AND push it - if valiant paid them or gave incentive to do so. From what I understand, forbidden planet accept payment their shop displays ( not all but some). Also push their ghost and retailer signed editions really well. Great stories, and I do ...

No shadow man on the shelf today? I agree with above statement, if shelf copies are one allocated to pillbox, surely the need for more shelf copies? Forbidden planet is not trying t o sell valiant to new customers :roll: , to scared of having anything besides marvel dc image and idw. I am keen to pr...

I am sure I have seen a website, where you submit the design and the shirt is printed to order and shipped - with % going to designer. I recall a famous rapper? Using it to sell his t- shirts to lower cost and help stop bootleggers. I think anyone can use it, although a long time ago - a friend of m...

What a great first proper post. :thumb: Spoke to shadowman99 last night :thumb: Hey, first of all, I'm not entirely sure on how to come into this thread at such a late stage, especially with being the catalyst for the whole conversation initially, but I guess... First off I'll apologise for anyone w...

Title of thread is currently hot. May not be that forever. How many books 'used' to be hot? And now at cover or less.

Saga is movin' on up. #1 - $50 #2 - $20 #3 & #4 - $moving toward $10 #5 - $10 - $15 Likely reason? People who read the first trade (which is alot of people) are going back to collect the singles. I expect this to happen for quite a while. Any thoughts what a set of every issue and every printin...

Saga issue 7 47000, walking dead 57000 approx. Not a fan of the walking dead, but love saga. Would not be surprised if saga sales surpass twd. I believe that it will over time. As you mention, the first issues will never be as valuable as TWD #1 just because of the print run, but IMO, Saga has the ...
