Between this, Ed's deal for all the AH #1 covers, and getting multiple chromiums, I might as well just mail Dinesh my debit card. :)
:o Sounds like he's already got it! :) :kidaround:

So, were all 18 issues regular cover price? Assuming that, we're talking 18 x 4 = $72. Ouch. I REALLY want these covers to make this awesome pic, but I just don't know if I'm gonna be able to do it financially unless DCBS spreads it out over a few months. :?

I see a lot of you saying you'd want them. Would you have paid $10 per book for 18 books? Probably not. So at cover price, and with a high order, I saw no way for me to make money back unless I charged $10 per book, and I was not going to throw that your way, with 18 books. Specially with 5 other stores offering them and at least a couple of them I know will lowball it. I really REALLY wanted to do it, but decided against it. As much as I wanted to do it for the board, I don't think I could get 500 orders here, even at cover price.

Hey Ed,

I appreciate you looking into this, and personally, I would have maybe paid a little over cover, so for me @ $10/ea I would have passed. Even if it was cover, I might have passed. All these variants are really adding up and I only get the cover priced ones usually :lol:


So yeah, as far as me anyway, I would not pay $10 each and like you said, the other stores out there, if they are offering @ cover or close, prob not many here who would pay more, so I completely understand.

:thumb:
Where are we going and why am I in this hand-basket?

Yessir, all 18 at cover price for the amount you calculated. At least it will be spread out over monthly shipments (I think) and that should help lessen the blow! :hope:
Good Morning, that's a nice tnetennba.

Not anytime soon, I'd wager. Why offer the art for $5-10 when some people will pay $72 for it, right? Maybe next year if we're lucky though for those that can't do all 18 covers.

Maybe if they do a HC collected edition of all 18 parts they'll include a poster.
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

Original Valiant did it with the Solar panel when they collected Alpha & Omega.
