Sure, but who would win in a fight? Eurovision Genghis or Jesus Christ Superstar?

Dschingis Khan is a German band and JCS would be portrayed by glittery musical theater people. That would be a short fight culminating in something horrible on an historic scale.

Yeah it ain't good is it. Here in the UK these probably aren't going to exist. I do feel they are catering to the same little crew here to pick up all the slack and hoard, this signing offer especially.
You'll be surprised. From what we are seeing quite a few stores are attempting to get a copy or two. You should let your stores know that you are interested. That will encourage them to buy in those quantities. Many retailers we've talked to have told us that even if they aren't ordering the 1:50, if a customer asks they will either bump the order or make a deal.

Didn't see this until now! This is awesome, I think I will have to try to do this as well.

Maybe a pre-VEI-VSS. (especially if they emboss it with a COA!) :)

Ya, count me in! Thanks! :clap:

Should we include return postage or is VEI being that gracious?

I'd be happy to get any QR Voice Variant's that are sent to Valiant HQ in May signed by Team Valiant. Just send us the book at the below address.

Valiant Entertainment
424 West 33th Street
Suite 640
New York, NY 10001
Does this also apply to those of us who are overseas? :hope:

I used this to heckle my local comic shop. To the point where one guy is a little annoyed. At least this time they will remember.
:hope: that they send it up from the london store.

Will there be a COA or VVSS-like embossed notary mark?

I would hate to have a book that will be this rare signed and then have no way of "proving" it.

No disrespect meant towards this gracious offer, just curious of the details.

Just received a QR that I had bought on ebay and immediately prepared a package for Valiant Entertainment. This will be one book that has travelled a lot.

I would send it priority mail as soon as you can.

Dino asked for sent in during May.

If I win an argument, it doesn't mean I'm right. It means I'm a better arguer.

In addition, I'm right.
