Little frustrated with this shop. Gotham Central Comics.
Nothing On their website about this. Still taking orders for the book on that website.
No email about the delay.
It took over two weeks to even post something to their Facebook page (below)…even though everyone knew about this error several days ago.
Hey @jcLu, isn’t this one of your shops?? Wtf, man? Talk to this guy.
Lol. Yup. That’s Carlos from Gotham Central. That is the biggest shop in my area. I was there on Wednesday. Jimmy Linguini picks up his books at Gotham too. I shop there only to buy flips these days, but I do know Carlos, the owner, on a first name basis, but there is nothing I can say that he will listen to.
Hey yo, where are people’s Momoko mystery box at?
Just passing along friendly information, another retailer I know inquired about the Canto II errors with Diamond and what is to be destroyed and not destroyed, they confirmed with Diamond that ALL issues and variants with the error are to be destroyed for replacement.
You might want to reach out to your own Diamond rep to find out, cause I do believe you selling them is probably violating something in their policies at this point.
Cheers.
I would say that statement is not entirely correct. Diamond as of today has not informed retailers about the error or corrective measures. This is coming from IDW, not Diamond. Most retailers dont even know that their ratios are being replaced next week. Recalls dont come from Diamond, they come from the publisher.
We aren’t violating any Diamond policies. We are adhering to IDW. I would probably not give advice if you aren’t a retailer nor have first hand knowledge of the situation.
4th wave of boxes went out yesterday
we have a few left to fill
I cant speak for Carlos but what I can say is no one opened the variants or ratios for at least a week to catch the error. and it may surprise you that publishers, diamond etc aren’t exactly super fast to react let alone make a decision. It took 12 days from 8/26 date for IDW to acknowledge the error and take some action. Part of it was the Labor Day weekend, part of it was IDW figuring out a response and another part was it literally took over a week for anyone to notice the error. Retailers have to wait for all those things to make a public decree about the error. Factor all that in.
My source reached out to Diamond directly. Perhaps you should to. That’s all I’m saying.
Also, that doesn’t make sense. If Diamond has not informed retailers about the error or corrective measures, how is it known to destroy while replacements are on the way? Which is it? You contradict yourself. Perhaps you should just reach out to Diamond to find out what should be done.
Do you buy your books directly from IDW or Diamond?
Yeah, I was just venting. At least I know what’s going on. If I Didn’t hear anything within the next day I was going to Call my credit card…the communication is the most frustrating part of this error. As you can see from poyo’s posts above…different messages floating around…delays in making decisions…etc etc…
You obviously aren’t a retailer. Or have a Diamond account.
We are following what the publisher wants which tells Diamond what to do with their properties. Diamond is just the middle man.
Diamond nor idw have publicly made a statement of the error. They have contacted retailers that made covers And told Diamond to replace ratios.
Ratios and retailer exclusives are 2 very different things
Prior to this you said they weren’t replacing ratios. Again, you are contradicting what you’ve previously stated in why I was asking why you still had the ratios listed on eBay.
Right here:
Your story doesn’t seem to stay the same and you keep contradicting yourself of what’s been said, done, etc. I feel like you’re just blowing hot air at this point.
You also went on to say this:
Which now contradicts what you have now said, saying Diamond is to replace ratios, which tells me those should have been “destroyed” as well since they’re being replaced.
Perhaps you should go by your supplier, which is Diamond instead of going by what IDW is telling you, which you’ve failed to provide any links or proof of what they’re telling you or the masses to do.
Mentioned a few posts up:
thats the mystery box, not the kick starter.
Wow. That’s a lot of money already pledged for a Momoko cover. And here people where talking about how McFarlane was using Kickstarter. SMH…
We live is 10/14 and miskatonic 11/11 release dates. I did post the covers though
Ah ok. Where did you post the covers?
Instagram I believe. I may have shared it on Kickstarter as well
Was just shared an email from a retailer source that reached out to IDW who said that they should destroy all error copies, which includes the ratio variants.
