None here. Are shops holding back, did they not order 2nds, or was it allocated TO 17% of their orders.
Starting to wonder.
My shops didn’t order much of anything his week. No Miles 38, no Rebels TPB….nuthin.
Stop going to that shop…
Hell nah. I’ve grabbed just about every one-per-store SIKtC for cover there.
They don’t mark up books until months maybe years after release. They don’t price at the counter.
They don’t order Miles or most other titles very big though. So rarely get variants except for the thank-yous from there.

The Rebels book was one per store, so not surprised you didnt find that on the shelf.
I don’t support FOMO! (BOOM!) allocations, all they’re doing is creating false demand. There was no reason for allocations, I’m sure there will be a 3rd, 4th and probably several more printings coming along the way.

There is a 3rd print with no effort going into the cover, just a recoloured 2nd print.
People should have learnt their lesson from the 3rd print of BRZRKR and SIKTC hardcover.

I easily got 2 copies of the 2nd print yesterday for $4 each. Could have bought more but passed…
People paying $50-$99? 
I don’t think either shop ordered any. Or if they did someone claimed it before opening. Unlikely though as I’m usually the first to grab per store variants.
My LCS put theirs on the shelf…I snatched it up and at the register no price rang up. He paused and said “I don’t think this was to be put out”. He double checked his shipper and saw it was the 1 per store and put it behind the counter…sigh…

Looks like Grim 1 3rd print is going to be a bit tricky to find. I checked two shops. One got very few issues and they sold out immediately, and the other didn’t get any that they ordered. Obviously don’t drop a bunch of cash on this, but if you see it on the shelf in your shop, it might be a good pickup. Ebay prices are already pretty high.

All allocation hype bs, can tell since the first prints are still at cover price (minus foc which imo is the one to get).
But chu forum get that money, make these dum dums pay.

They pumped the allocation rumor with the second print which was a quick turn around…the 3rd print was announced about the same time and had time for shops to order prior to FOC.
My guess is the perceived scarcity is because some shops didn’t care one way or another if they had 1st prints still available, and others are hoarding copies because of FOMO prices.
It’ll be a $10 or less book in a few weeks. Don’t waste your money.

I have sold four copies of the Jae Lee Foc Virgin for $11 each. I sell one everytime I find them.

My LCS(s) had no 2nd or 3rd prints but 1st prints lying around. They never even ordered 2nd or 3rd since plenty of 1sts they on the shelf.
cant blame them

What are we all thinking for 4th print allocation numbers? 40% this time?
