Looks like I'm not getting them from at least one LCS. I went to one of the biggest shops in the area and asked if he'd be getting both. He said no. I offered to cover the difference thinking he may be getting 30+ copies, but he said he is too far away. He is only ordering 20 copies for subs and shelf in total. If he still has the 1/20 I'll likely get it. He said no one is talking about it. This is one of very few shops that even takes a chance on non big 2 around here.

There's one shop a bit away that claims he is getting both variants. If he said he wasn't, I was going to offer to cover the difference again.

I'm not getting any varients. I hate them.
Know this: I would rather be hated for being honest for my opinions, than being loved as a liar!

I ordered both the 1:20 and the 1:50 from DCBS and am really hoping to get both. I can't pay more than what DCBS is charging for them though if DCBS doesn't fill my order.

and what did you have to order to get them at such a great price and am I right in thinking there is no guarantee you get them anyway?

After seeing the offer of all the books for $50 on another thread, i'd be inclined to jump all over that.

Not if you get 10. :P
And then what - sell the other 9 on Ebay for 9.99 each? ------- :o :hm:

Not 10 of the same... 10 total comic books.... they can be multiples or one-ofs, as long as the total number of books ordered is 10 or more...

I am looking on the DCBS website, and I can't find the 1:20 or 1:50 covers anywhere. I see the regular and pull box versions, but that is it.

Yep. I doubt many people who ordered them will get them. They pulled them down very quickly. I've never seen them do that.

I ordered them through my normal mail-order company and they acted like it will be no problem to get them. I am going to be super ticked if they don't show up after I passed up that smoking deal from Paradise Comics.

My order has been changed to now read, "Limit 1 per customer". I believe it was a few weeks ago they actually pulled the variants off the site for ordering and the limit appeared as well. I am eternally optimistic I will get foooked in the end.

Thanks to the great deal offerred by paradise, I will be getting all of the XO variants after all. Really looking forward to May now!

Anyone know if the 1:20's will continue beyond the summer of valiant, after archer and armstrong #1. I can't afford to pay for them each month:(

I sure hope not. The way A&A is set up with the line-wide variant, it looks like they were going for a grand finale.

I'm just glad it was pretty good, long and drawn out. (that's what she said.)

I'm right there with you. I'm going all in with this launch...

But come after August, I doubt I will be able to afford to buy the 1:20 Variant's if they continue, no matter how much I might want them.
It's not that I don't have an avatar... I've just been working on it for the last few hundred years.
