I don’t know how many of the Krampus bags I will get. I am in for 30 of the trick or treat bags. I got 10 from 3rd eye, 8 from Midtown, 7 from MCS, and 5 from my main shop. How many did you guys end up getting? I may get some release day if I see any.
I purchased one to read
I may pass on the Krampus blind bags. I did enough with the first blind bags.
still waiting for final info on the Halloween shit before even thinking ordering Christmas
what has he released maybe 15 images for Halloween ?
He is not planning on releasing all the covers in advance to allow for some element of surprise when the bags are opened.
I’m still going pretty heavy on the trick or treat bags. ToT is in store 10/1. FoC for Xmas is 9/29 2 months before the in store date of 11/26. Dealers will get an early peek at the ToT books before ordering the Xmas bags as long as they arrive on time.
Yeah, I’d imagine if the first batch of blind bags do well/are a hit the second wave will have orders get bumped up.
I just want my kickstarter books……
… A week or so before everything else hits stores.
I’m up to 80 Trick or Treat blind bags.
0 Krampus so far because I’m not overly excited for this one to be honest
I also would love to get my Kickstarters! I can’t wait
Here’s my breakdown of the Trick or Treat bags:
55 are from (3) separate U.S. sellers: 25 / 10 / 20
25 are from (1) Canadian seller
$353.34 spent = $4.42 per and MSRP is $5.99 per
I figured by breaking purchases up into smaller increments and multiple sellers, I wouldn’t be affected by any potential shipping issues (one seller gets a lot of a ‘single’ cover like what happened with the trading card issue). I’m hoping for a lot of different single covers for my collection, not multiples of a few.
Very excited to see what I get!
My tally so far:
0 Trick or Treat Blind Bags
0 Krampus Blind Bags
0 Kickstarters
0 Batman Blind Bags
0 Marvel Blind Bags
Total spent so far: $0.00
In other news my sales onslaught has continued yesterday. Sold 19 books yesterday, no summer slowdown for me.
I think I will be into for 30 bags. Sets of 10 from different retailers, mostly because these publishers are so bad at the logistics I don’t think you can trust the distribution will be truly random. I plan to do it the same as the Battle Beast blind bags. I have a few of the covers I would like and if I pull them before opening all the packs I’ll sell the rest unopened. Worked out very well last time.
You can purchase each of the above for $0.25 to read (if desired) when all the junk from those blind bags starts hitting the market and is utterly worthless.
No need to sound so joyful about the possibility of doing that, Bill
I’m sure one day you’ll get to buy them at a yard sale for 25 cents each, but not anytime soon
I think I’ll just grab a few silver age spider-man’s, and pass on the blind bag craze.
I got too many comics anyway….
True That!
Wait, where are you guys buying ANY comics for just $.25? I’ll buy absolute junk for $.25 to resell at a comic show for a dollar.
I get a ton from local comic shops. Yea .25-.50 books still exist. Large lots of comics for .17 a comic off Facebook. Tons of places. Shoot. Even the Ollies packs work out to be cheap per comic.
Fair point, that one Comic lot that I purchased for 300 bucks was basically $.30 a book and it had some real winners in there.
