Collector's Paradise / VFans EXCLUSIVE X-O Manowar #1 deal

[paradise]

Some (or many) of you have been following the XO #1 four cover pre-order thread. 10 of you have paid for those sets. A lot more have asked me to offer more of these, and in the thread, I have explained the difficulty in doing that. Basically, sales of these variants offset my cost of regular issues, but after a certain amount, it becomes a moot point because I can only sell a finite number of single issues. So I am changing it up a bit. I hope members here understand that I am not trying to make a killing on this, there is actually NO WAY for me to do so. I am trying to get books into people's hands, and if I get enough interest, I should be able to do it and at the very least break even. So here it is:

I am making another 30 sets available, (yes, I am ordering 2,000 copies of X-O #1) each set to include:
1x Regular Rubik Cover
1x Pullbox Variant Cover
1x 1:20 David Aja Variant Cover
1x 1:50 QR Variant Cover
1x X-O Manowar 2012 FCBD Edition Comic as well as:

1x "War Is Coming" Poster, signed by Robert Venditti, on a special plate, marked as EXCLUSIVE to ValiantFans and numbered to 50. (the first 10 people who got sets will get the poster also, and the last ten copies will be given to Greg as a thank you for running the community, hopefully he can put them to good uses for members)

The sets are $50 plus shipping, in addition to another requirement. I will only sell these to those who buy a 10-pack of the regular/pull covers (in any ratio) for $30 (and shipping). That is what makes this deal possible. You can buy more than one set of 10 if you'd like, 10 is just the minimum. More on shipping below.

We are also letting anyone who buys a set purchase additional copies of the amazing David Aja Variant for $15 each, up to 5 per person, while supplies last.

Shipping: A basic set of 15 comics (4 covers, FCBD, 10x regular) is either $5.00 media mail, or $10 Priority Mail Flat Rate. If you are ordering more than the basic 15 comics, Media Mail will change, but Priority Flat Rate stays the same up to 25-30 books, maybe even more, and you get them a lot faster. The books will ship out on Monday or Tuesday of the week AFTER they come out, as it will take a lot of time to pack these, specially during the FCBD week.

Payment: PAYPAL invoice can be sent to anyone as long as I get their paypal-verified email address.

I KNOW I am going to be asked this, so I am going to answer it right away. If you have already bought a set of 4 covers in the original thread, I will sell you extra regular books and extra Aja variants, but I want to make sure that anyone who wants to get a set, within my ability to order, is able to do so. After a few days if there are still sets available, I will contact those of you who have asked and offer sets to you. I just want to be fair to all, as a long time member of this board, I am glad to be in a position to help out. Many of you have helped me finish my own collection (the only single issue comics I own are Valiants).

Below I am going to list the names of people who ordered the sets in order, and will mark them paid once they are paid. Once we get to 40, we are done. If you do not pay within a reasonable amount of time, I will offer the set to the next person. We are starting this batch at 11.

Of course, that's reasonable. How would you like them shipped, slow or quick? I also need your paypal email and I will send you an invoice.

Ya'll killing me - if I hadn't already ordered them through DCBS (yes I know no guarantee) I would jump all over this

Yep, I'm going to do that. If it hadn't rained so damn hard on Sunday I probably would of come out. I will try and make it this weekend!

Well, this one is guaranteed, but I am not going to tell you what to do about the other non-guaranteed order

[Elveen]

So because I bought and paid for the 1st complete set I am already getting a signed poster? Correct?

[kevinbastos]

I know that I am already on the initial ten. I would like to order the ten pack of the number one issues, to help you out. Half and half, please. In addition, could I get one more copy of the Aja cover? I think it would be an additional $50 I would owe, but if it is different, let me know.

And thanks, again!

[paradise]

Thank you, Kevin, sent you a pm.

No, those are provided to me by Valiant to be given to members who are part of this deal. I am also sending a few to Greg for use on the site (giveaways, contests...)
