I'm enjoying this way more than I thought I would.
Still unsure on what the end game is for these characters. I say that cause I feel let down about the choices made with Generation Zero.

Well, I can see these two being intertwined a little. Out with Gen Zero, in with the Secret Weapons group. Female lead team (nikki) with support from Animalia as they become the next Teen group

I'm hoping she'll land a spot with the Renegades... :hope:

I believe it was a 1:100, but 360 seems high
360 assumes every store that ordered a single copy ordered at least 100, and all stores ordered in multiples of 100. So there's a max of 360 distributed as an incentive, but that does not preclude Valiant distributing copies outside of the normal distribution process (comps for creators, marketing freebies, etc.)
I'd take a stab in the dark and say from 175-225. We shall see once they start hitting Ebay. I've only seen a few that hit Ebay before slabbing, maybe people are pressing and slabbing?
That's what I'm doing, I didn't even bring mine home. They gave it to me, I checked it out and gave it right back to go out with their CGC shipment..:thumb:
Perhaps I'm missing something, but is there an advantage to having a store send it in here? I mean, the actual signatures would have been done prior to the store receiving the shipment, so there was no one to witness it for the yellow label, correct?
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

CGC is doing a special deal with these so if they're submitted within something like 2 months they'll qualify for the Signature Series.

I wish I had known that. Maybe I'll pay for the shipping to get mine from Ed now.
