So, is there a pie, or not?

Deep down I knew that. But I am scared of misunderstandings and decided to make sure, even though that meant I came on strongly. I believe all is cleared up between us.

I'm hearing the end credits theme song to the Incredible Hulk tv show and imagining Laird Dunlow slowly walking away, along a highway, looking elsewhere for pie.

I know Doc personally and I know next time, he'll let everyone know when he's frustrated instead of just going off like that.
Once through Elery comes through in the clutch.

I had some frustrations build up, and rather than say something about them, I held them in till I boiled over.

My apologies for the splash damage.

On a sort of related note, I was digging through 5 for $1 boxes at Heroescon yesterday and bought 18 copies of Shadowman #0, seven copies each of Bloodshot #5, 7, 8, 10 & 11, ten copies of Harbinger #0 and four copies of Harbinger #4 for around $13.00!!!

I asked the guy running the booth why he had so many copies of these new books for so cheap and he said that they had a customer that pays a couple hundred dollars for all the Valiant variants and they order a ton of them in order to qualify to get them.

Seems like everybody wins in that situation: The guy who wants the variants, VEI, you, and the comic book store!

So you were lying about the pie, weren't you? That's not nice. I don't want to sit kick back and hang out with somebody that teases pie, but doesn't deliver. :kidaround:

What's interesting is that a lot of people here got EXCITED when DCBS offered their 1:20s for $20 instead of $40, while we have ALWAYS offered our 1:20s for $20 with our subs, GUARANTEED to get one every month, and I only have 3 people doing it from this site. And we do offer 20% discount on all regular books. Not as crazy as DCBS' discount but it's like saving on a license plate while overpaying for a car.

I suppose it depends on how many license plates and how many cars one is buying. :hm:
