Unity 3D cover distribution problem

[bobby97801]

Has anyone else found these at their shop even if it was not supposed to be there? My shop ordered 200 regular copies and only sold 5. He returned 195 and he received 3 copies of the 3D variant. What happened?

If I had to guess, he got one for qualifying orders (even if he returned none), then he got two for the ones that somebody didn't know he returned.

I have two local shops that both received a copy.

One did not qualify for the book. Did not order 100 copies and did not order more than his XO Manowar #1 Order.

The other ordered 100 and returned 70.

It seems that all stores got a copy regardless of previously stated incentives. Though I wouldn't blame Valiant on this since it's Diamond who distributes the books, and it's not the first time they've messed up distributing incentives.

Hmmm.. wow, I wonder if my comic shop got at least 2 then. He ordered 200 but did end up returning a bunch.

BTW, There is a TON of them on EBAY right now.

3 went to auction and one just sold at auction for only 51 bucks.

The prices of these are dropping dramatically ...

I felt like a got a good deal (69 bucks with free shipping) but thats already looking like an overpay

Now, I feel like I need to visit my LCS today. Unfortunately, I have a basketball game to go to. I'll have to wait until Friday.

Hey guys,

If you could shoot me a pm with store names if you have any information about distribution problems it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Best,

I didn't make it to my LCS today(I got my 2 valiant issues digitally) but i'll probably stop by this weekend and find out if they got the 3D cover.

He got 3 ... now he has 2.



Pretty sure he put one in your pullbox.

Niiiice!

Man, I feel lucky!!! I got one today from my LCS. I was surprised they had one and real excited when I was told I had 1st dibs on it. I was like Hell Yeah!! Now I just need the 2 Neal Adams covers.

The Diamond truck had a problem and all of Calgary did not get books today, maybe tomorrow.

If I don't get one of these babies I will be apoplectic

eBay appears to be flooded with them. Think you could easily get one for ~$50-60 bucks right now, but looks like this is probably a ~$20 book down the road.

as far as I know My shop didnt order 100 unity ones perhaps 5. As far as I know they didnt return any. I got a 3d cover for 25.00 canadian I think he gave me a bit of a discount because it came to 23.75 btw another shop got one and I talked to them and they will sell it to me for 25.00 but Im now unsure if I even want it if its not so rare a.d everyone and theyr dog has one.

Why would their dog need one? Are you sure it's a dog and not Toyo?

[Ramses818]

At $25 I would still buy them. I think right now it's flooded there because there was mistakes made. I still feel it's a very cool cover and I think it has a lot of long-term collectibility. I would maybe equate this more towards the BATMAN 608 RRP. Cause when they first came out a lot of people passed on but they still get $1800 now. That's just my two cents worth. If you buy it for 25 I'll happily buy it from you for that price plus shipping.

I'm gonna start calling Dino by the name Uatu.

We got one at my store. Thanks!

[chriskay99]

They had one at my LCS and I highly highly doubt they ordered or returned anything to qualify. The girl at the counter seemed a bit mystified as to why they received a copy because they don't really order or sell a lot of Valiant. The shop owner's asking price was $135 and I politely declined.

[hawkeyeps]

HOLY CRAP! I call Shenanigans!

Everybody on earth will get one but me, it's a Murphy's law thing

We'll see tomorrow

YOU...B@STARD!!

It was you who who got that Diamond truck driver drunk in Saskatoon...or was it Canadian Dunlow

He does live behind a dumpster in Saskatoon and is rather comely to truck drivers, I can see it happening.

You really need to control that thing before you spark an international incident (I know we're just Canada but still,eh?).

[nonplayer]

Ok you talked me in to it I will buy the second one

[hawkeyeps]

I might get one tomorrow but if I don't that would be great, thanks NP.

At $25 I still think it's a great deal, I let you know tomorrow

[nonplayer]

Problem is its outta town for me so I mqy not make it by 6 when they close

[jedimarley]

Wow. Price really bottom out on these. I wonder how retailers feel about that?
Now they're stuck with hundreds of unsold Unity #1s and a variant worth less than $50.00

[JonesyAZ]

My LCS received a copy and offered to sell it to me for 40. I decided to go for it (though that's pretty much my comic money for the next two weeks...lol)
