while I am a fat kid, and I do love ice cream (and I would eat it every Wednesday too), I do get every title that Valiant pushes right now.

All in. I waited a long time for 2012 and for Valiant to resume publishing. It's been a great 5 years!

Still all in, almost 5 years now.

But I can't say it will be that way in 3 months, honestly. Faith and Renegade do not make me want to read them, and the minis and one-shots are something I can read in a TPB, much cheaper. Also, I'm tired of having to keep track of what's coming and going. If Valiant was just ongoings, maybe I would not feel this way, but it's what it is.

But at least I collected the first 5 years (I already told my LCS to order Valiant books for me on a case-by-case basis only, starting in June), not missing a single book- even the ones that were super hard to find here.

Still getting all floppies each month. No variants to speak of. I have Harbinger Deluxe #1 and am thinking about getting #2, but that's it besides a few trades I picked up in one of the online combo deals VEI put out a year or two ago. So far, I've really only badly regretted buying Dead Drop. Some others weren't as good as I hoped, or fell apart eventually, but overall I enjoy all the books so far to at least a medium degree. And most of them I like a lot.

I wish there was an option like "Everything but 1 or 2."

I started right after Armor Hunters and have bought everything every month, with very rare exception. The only books I've dropped are A+A, Gen. Zero, Dead Drop, and Second Lives. Most series were collected by issue, but I do have a few random trades, and every trade of Harbinger and Imperium. I also have the deluxe editions of Harbinger Wars, Armor Hunters, and A&A Vol. 1. I'd still like A&A Vol. 2 and maybe the first two X-O volumes, but I can't really justify double (sometimes triple) dipping when I spend $24-$40 a month on Valiant already.

I was pretty sure I'd see you here saying "I've been out of Valiant for a while...". :P

I'm only buying the Deluxe hardcovers, and of those it seems that I've missed every single one that has turned into a back issue burner on the aftermarket, other than maybe A&A vol 1.

Buying them all.

Recovered from buying all of the variant copies a few years ago - and now am only buying one of each. Not totally true, i bought a few each of the Harbinger Renegades to trade for Wars 0. But other than that, still all in. Even bought Valiant High.

I buy 1 copy of every regular cover, the occasional variant if something strikes my eye and the deluxe editions.

I do get all the titles - usually 75/25 print vs digital. I also buy the occasional variant and most deluxe hardcovers but no trades. Since I've fallen in love with the hardcover editions I consider selling (or getting rid of) some of my print copies to make room.
