Needless to say, we have yet to have someone give the correct answer to "While most often 1 & 2 & 3 = 6, in Valiant speak instead, it equals one............. :hm: " What could it be? :D

And NO, it's not a unicorn either people :!:
what's really throwing me off is the "in Valiant speak" because I think that is the heart of the clue... 1 and 2 and 3...could be story arcs collected in one deluxe hardcover? or 1 and 2 and 3 could be dimensions and this could be the 3-D Unity cover...but neither of those seem right, don't seem like "valiant speak"
there were three issues of the limited series End Times that could equal one trade paperback, but I don't think that's a very exciting prize.

there have been "three" Valiant Universes...the first, the Acclaim, and the Entertainment, that's a one and two and three that doesn't add up to six but doesn't equal one prize. I want it to add up to an XO armor, a living, functional manowar class suit, :high-five: but I have my doubts... :D And again, the Valiant speak makes it seem like it's something us hard core fans should be able to figure out. do deluxe hardcovers have 3 volumes of trades? that seems to be the best guess out of all this off the top of my head rant...
I <3 Faith!!!

Okay, in "Valiant speak," does 1 plus 2 plus 3 equal one Unity?
I wonder what it would be like to be a lonely, muck-encrusted monster? Probably be an improvement.

Nope. Let me tell you the answer to this one so everyone can begin pondering the next bit of info.

1 + 2 +3 normally equals 6. But in "Valiant speak" 1 + 2 + 3 equals one incredible prize package which consists of 1 of something, 2 of something else, and then 3 of yet another item..... :o So....6 = 1! THAT is math, the Valiant way :lol: :lol: :lol:

Now the question remains, what is the 1, what is the 2, and what is the 3? :!:

Okay, here's my thinking. Last year, in addition to the gold books, there was a Unity Red also included. Since that was also what they gave everyone on the Valiant office tour last year (and that was a retailer preview), and this year they gave out the Doctor Mirage retailer preview, I'm guessing that "one of something" is the Doctor Mirage book.

Since the embossed gold covers looked so nice and went over so well last year, I'm guessing that those will either fit the "2 of something" or "3 of something," but which one and what the books might be, I can't say (although a Unity and Shadowman would go very nicely to rounding out my gold collection).
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

If anyone lives near Jericho, VT perhaps Bruce can provide an actual sneak peek. Or in Porter Ranch, CA.. as several of the components are here.

I believe Bruce has been documenting and will give full details on the process of Round 3 with images when its all been received.
