ROUND #2 "EXTRA" CONFIRMED!
As we expected, VEI was MOST pleased with the efforts of the 46 qualifiers for the Round #2 TPB reviews and is providing an "extra" as they did for round #1. So the question remains.....What could it be?
One of my Vermont psiot visions was that..."It will make quite an impression on you". Can tell you that vision was spot on because it will do just that!
To that, over the next couple of weeks we'll add some hints for you all to post your thoughts/guesses.
So here's your next clue.....What was old, is new again....
Let the guessing begin.

It's clearly a cast of Atom's pregnant belly after his impregnation by the goat.

I think it was for buying the exclusive HC only. I whined about the price point and Dino was awesome and offered the additional signatures and the other book.caniac wrote:Does this "extra" go for the people who didn't get the HC?

Re: ROUND #2 "EXTRA" CONFIRMED!
I'm really hopeless at these guessing games but the "what's old is new again" quote makes me think it may be along the lines of the VVSS which a few people have already mentioned
Make quite an impression, well that wont take much for me.
I'll need more clues for sure.
Really appreciate the thought though.

Re: ROUND #2 "EXTRA" CONFIRMED!
You guys are funny. We are trying to keep it straight, so this topic is basically about Round #2 extras... Bruce loves to give clues if you haven't figured it out.
"Anticipation is the handmaiden of pleasure".... - Bruce's saying from Round #1
This is basically a reminder to all the 46 participants.
***Round #2 Extras will be mailed from the Vermont mailing facility under Bruce's supervision***
(As soon as the package is ready, Bruce will be contacting each of the 46 for their mailing information.... postage of course is shouldered by the participant)
===============
So that this is not confusing....here's Elery's summary for those who are lost with the extras......
Round #2 "EXTRAS" are ONLY for the 46 participants who qualified. (Bruce and I just found out what these are..
)
We obviously won't ruin the surprise... CLUES ONLY .... so its like Round #1 again. (if anyone remembers)
---------------------=
NYCC Exclusives + Comikaze Exclusives: (Elery or Paradise will be shipping these depending on your orders)
(This is outside of Round #2).... but several of the 46 participated in these offers.
NYCC Exclusives were optional to those who participated in Round #2....but eventually, we did open NYCC Exclusives to all Valiant Fan members per VEI's request.
Those who ordered the X-O Signed Hard Covers numbered to 500 will be given a limited X-O Manowar #1 VF VSS as a bonus
(an incentive for those who paid $100/$125 for the X-O Manowar Signed #/500 HC's) ... Regular HC's are excluded.
Those who ordered only A&A NYCC Variants or Regular HC's will not getting the X-O Manowar #1 VF VSS.
However, VEI is giving goodies/extras for EVERYONE who pre-ordered the NYCC Exclusives depending on what you ordered.
(those goodies have not been announced yet)
Lastly, those who pre-ordered Comikaze Exclusives will also be receiving extra goodies depending on what you ordered
(these goodies also have not been announced yet also)
That being said..... I know it can be confusing, but we have it all figured out. You just have to wait.
But like what kjjohanson ..... "Just buy one of everything and you'll be good"
It will be worth it.... Trust me. Just wait....
========================
SHORTEST SUMMARY IS HERE
A. Qualified Round #2 participants will be receiving a special *gift from VEI for your efforts
B. NYCC Con Exclusive participants will be receiving extras for participating **depending on what you pre-ordered
C. Comikaze Exclusive partiicpants will be receiving extras for participating ***depending on what you pre-ordered
(We will not be disclosing these gifts or extras until members receive them because surprises are more fun)
That being said: A and B and C are NOT the same. Therefore, if you did all three, you will receive all three.

Re: ROUND #2 "EXTRA" CONFIRMED!
I think it's tattoos.
We're all going to get drunk in a bar, and then head down the shop with Dino and Atom! and we're all going to get the same Valiant 'V'/compass logo tattooed in the same place on all our bodies.
That happening would certainly make an impression on us one way or another.

Re: ROUND #2 "EXTRA" CONFIRMED!
Elery did a magnificent job with clarifying the "goodies" and the "extra".
What you're getting the clues for is the "extra" which VEI just confirmed to us and we are putting together for the 46 members only who did all 10 TPB reviews. This is along the lines of the round #1 "extra" for the group of 22 who did the first set of TPB reviews and their "extra" was the Harbinger Wars #1 1:50 variant with 13 valiant staff signatures, along with a personal thank you letter signed by Dinesh, Elery, and me.
All along we have ALWAYS said, "It Just Got Better To Be a Valiant Supporter" and that remains true. Everyone who purchased from NYCC or Comikaze will get something extra. The group of 46 qualifiers will get all of that PLUS the coveted "extra". You would not believe all the work that goes into pulling these all together for you. Elery and I keep massive databases and send them back and forth to each other for crosschecking and verifying and we are ALWAYS asking VEI if there isn't something more they can give us for you to make it even better.
And yes, Elery is very correct that I love to give clues/teasers out for the "extra" because each one is special, with a lot of thought and effort going into making something unique.
And to that end, I can give you this added clue........The "extra" the 46 qualifiers will get has NEVER been done before, either by VH1 or VEI.....
(And NO, It is NOT an embossed goat!) That much I can tell you.
Let the guesses continue since I just eliminated a coveted possibility.
