That baby variant is pretty cool. Harada's pretty hairy for a baby, he must be part Greek or something :kidaround:

Thanks, Keith. I am shocked, I am almost halfway done with my allocation (100) of these, and it has not been 24 hrs yet.

I'll take set 3 and a Phantom variant. If you can tell me how to pay (I don't see it, but I assume paypal?), I send the money tonight.


Thanks!

I know I said originally that the deadline was TODAY, but since we decided to place a bigger order of regular covers, due to all the sets sold, we have committed now to a much larger quantity than originally intended, which makes deadlines moot.

Every set in the original post EXCEPT SET #4 (all covers) is still available. Very limited number of SET #3 left, due to us increasing the order at the last minute to fill waiting list for SET #4 for 3 people. About 3-4 copies of SET #3 now available.

About 30 copies of the Phantom Variant still available for those who are buying other sets, OR our exclusive variant.

Least expensive package is $25 shipped in continental US, which gives you our variant and the phantom. Over 45 of those have sold so far.

So, Ed, just curious: how many copies total have you ordered of Unity #1?

Hmm, anyone who reads through this thread should figure it out, but it's a Huge number that is in tune with what VEI is doing. After the Q&W party in Pasadena, Dinesh, Atom, myself and the wives went out to dinner, where the whole conversation started re: Unity, in detail. They told me they were going "ALL IN" on that book, promotion, advertising budget, exposure, covers. That's where we started discussing our own cover, and where I made the decision to just follow their example and go ALL IN. Whatever I can. The way I structured my deals for you all on this site, was made with one goal in mind, sell the most books, so that I can order the most I can. Unlike most dealers who will get returnability on all their books while keeping the variants, I will not, for two reasons.

1. I am doing an exclusive cover, which is not returnable
2. I would have to order over 2k of regular covers (my X-O #1 order is 2k)

Honestly, I think Unity CAN be a break-through book for VEI, specially if a bunch of stores put it out 'cause they have a bunch of copies, which they have ZERO risk on. It can push all the books, like the original Unity did.

Would be great to see all titles numbers double in this difficult market.
I wish their was a Spinal Tap comic, and I had a copy CGC graded at 11.

If you are planning to order the Comikaze EXCLUSIVE from this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=41785" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If you have bought or buy one of sets 1-3, we'll take care of shipping the item to you. You have to pay for actual shipping, but if you have already paid for shipping for the sets, you may be ok with that. if not, small difference will be asked for, based on ACTUAL shipping cost after packing the items.

UPDATE: Only ONE of the SET #3 left. Last set available. If you have already paid for a SET 1 or SET 2, or our exclusive cover, you can upgrade by paying the difference. Remember if you get sets 2,3 or 4 you get this awesome print, signed by Philip Tan which is the ONLY day to get the cover art without any logos, completely as it was drawn:

In addition to ours, we have Phantom variants and Yesteryear Comics variants. $10 each plus shipping.
