It was recently produced in Canada (sort of like Wolverine...) and I believe was created with numbers indicating a 1:400 variant comparison.

Check out Editions Heros for better info. :thumb:

I assume all prices are denominated in Canadian dollars -

There are two Chromium covers. I think the one DBS showed here is sold out, originally for 29.99$ and limited to a run of 25. There is also a Franco Francavilla for $19.99.

You can roll the dice on what Couverture Chromium is?

I have to admit these guys are putting out some really cool covers. I have purchased several and will buy more in the future because they are different from the English version. I LOVE what they did for Ninjak 1. :clap:

Timmies isn't Canadian anymore. It's now branded as Canadian to sell to Canadians only.
This is unfortunate but true. We have very little you guys haven't bought or monopolised.
I think Canadian tire is one of the last chains not bought out and is truly Canadian.

Well then I'll pretend to support Canadians when there's a Tim Horton's near me. :D Canadian Tire is a weird store. I don't know what the closest US comparison would be, but I think my wife liked the one we visited. The only thing you can't buy there is probably a The Valiant Chromium.

So tempted, just for the novelty of it. But what economic sense could it make to just print only 25? Seems odd.

Yeah, saw these a couple times before, but forgot about them. Thought I saw in English somewhere as well, but can't find it now. I just went ahead and ordered what seems to be the Francavilla chromium. Should be interesting. :D

Also can't buy any decent flyfishing stuff. The closes usa store would be a Walmart but Canadian tire is more like the tool/automotive section. With any deals they can broker. So coolers for 15.00 or gardening stuff. Always sells cheep Canadian made snow shovels. And automatic igloo makers for when company arrives. That reminds me I should check out smoker prices.

I never ended up receiving my book from Editions Heroes and wrote this off. Did anybody ever get their copy? Anybody willing to part with their copy? Such a cool book, but sadly never made it my way.
