FOC Mega Topic

I think there will be alot of Skybound backstock thrown in.

More likely these will end up like the Harley Black Book blindbags - deep discounts later on at Midtown :hugs:… which I did pull out an original piece of art from one. Cant remember the artists name…

I agree, buying mine from local LCS, less chances that they would mess with them. I was wondering about weighing them as well. Maybe I will just crack them if the general feeling is the blind bags can’t be trusted.

I know the Godzilla/king Kong DC variants (with the sounds) you could open an reseal without any evidence of tampering. Hopefully they use the type of bag you have to tear open, like a true blind bag.

How does one pronounce that name?

All covers up to the 1:100 are what are in the blind bags. The 1:1000 is unsigned. no 1:2000 in blind bags. Ratio books are going in at ratio and then randomized. The 3 other books are going in at 16%/16%/12% so they will be fairly plentiful. None of the three are new art. Two reprints with new logos and another that the art is already released on.

I was just looking at the solicit on the Image Comics site and something else I just noticed that in ADDITION to the Battle Beast covers they are also including some other random titles maybe? I wonder what unrelated titles they may include?

COVER C Blind Bag: This is a first-of-its-kind blind bag program.
The blind bags will include a chance to get ANY of the solicited covers from A through I.
However, there are rare SURPRISE issues that may or may not be related to BATTLE BEAST or the Invincible Universe that can be found in these blind bags.
Those SURPRISE issues will not be publicly announced in advance of the issue release.

To really smash it out of the park, they should have put in a 1 of 1 book. Until that book got found, sealed books would have been at a premium.

the covers of the three books were shown to us in the retailer call, but we aren’t supposed to leak them. Just temper your expectations, they’re cool, but it’s not anything crazy.

Or every single retailer would say F it and open all their orders…

So I probably should have just stuck with my original order number of 0 instead of upping it to 20 today? Darn.

mathematically, you should get at least 2 of each variant though if the fill rates they told us were true. I ordered 25 personally, and 5 blanks to get the 1:25 and 3 1:10s

Can’t wait to see Anthony rip a 1:1000 out of the packs on video.

Well, all I can say is I expect to be surprised.

I only went in on the blind bag for 100 copies. I was really close to going for the 1:2000 but decided against it. I think the ratios (1:100 and less) are going to drop like a rock after release and the surprise issues will be fairly plentiful. The big book in the blind bag will probably be the unsigned 1:1000.
