My status changed to shipped yesterday on Kickstarter. Luckily because I have a UPS account that notifies me when I’m getting a shipment I have tracking info. Otherwise I would have no idea when or how the comics were coming.

- 12/25 different covers but as you can see, most were the special covers
-
Pack of 20
- THREW ALL AWAY. I opened all of them and had 1 TRICK cover, additionally, most were covers I already had so it was no big deal to dispose of them. The packaging from the seller was adequate at best and, unfortunately, the box sustained damage during shipping which severely corner crunched all 20 copies.
Most had the center poly bag crease and collation is definitely still an issue with this amount of blind bags available.
Yes, I would definitely buy these again but probably in 20-25 lots from separate sellers. At this time, I’ve not purchased any of the Monsters #8 blind bags (was part of the government shutdown), but I will.
So, official round up:
1. 125 copies purchased at roughly $4.25 per comic
- x3 FOIL (A26 and A29 x2)
- x7 NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (A78, A82, A84, A85)
- x15 TRICK covers (1 set of the 5 different covers)
- x1 BLACK & WHITE
- x1 GLOW IN THE DARK
- x1 ea. SKETCH covers
- x2 A12 Frankie’s Bride cardstock
- x3 A22 Hexy the Witch cardstock
- x4 A29 Frankenstein GPK cardstock
- x7 A30 Wolfman GPK cardstock
I have not listed any copies for sale at this time so there is no ROI to discuss.
Still waiting on my $500+ Monster & the Wolf Kickstarter purchase (no change to shipping status on the site). I was backer 327 of 853
This right here says EVERYTHING you need to know about how well they were randomized.
How does a pack of 20 comics get damaged? Were they thrown loosely in a box? I get one comic in a Gemini “could” sustain damage if someone sat on it, or the comic wasn’t taped down inside to prevent sliding aprons… but 20 after market comics it should NEVER happen. I’d like to know what was done wrong…

The cardboard they utilized was the exact same size as the comics and the box barely bigger than the stack. Once it got damaged, they got damaged.

Awesome! Still no indication that my 2 orders have shipped. Getting antsy for sure. Was hoping to see these to pay for Christmas this year.
Does not sound like they were shipped Gemini.
Did you request a refund? I get USPS damaged it, but the right thing to do is to refund the buyer and they submit the claim.
If they shipped media, then that’s their loss 100%.
Couple things.
First, the Transformers homage is pretty cool…too bad it doesn’t look more like Gene Wilder, but I still like it. I may have to see what those go for on the secondary market.
Second, what’s with the GPK variant having a “1” day n the upper right? The ones that came in the blind bags were 1 and 2, and I was really hoping he’d continue the number f like the actual cards. Now there’s two #1 card covers.
Still like the cover…but disappointed he didn’t think of that level of detail/coolness factor.

I second that the, “Transformers,” variant is good fun.

Mine came Saturday. They are being sent UPS, if you have a UPS account and have shipping notifications turned on you’ll get a notice from UPS. Neither Mark nor Kickstarter is notifying anyone of shipment or providing tracking. For what it’s worth they were double boxed and packed pretty well.

Wonder if that /40 was the lowest printed cover…

There were 6 comics offered in the last week of the Kickstarter campaign. The verbiage used was “ This is for the LAST 7 DAYS Limited Edition, Signed and Numbered on the back of the book. This book is a Chrome Foil Cover and limited to only however many are claimed on the kickstarter. So if only 3 people order, that is how many will be made. Remember, these covers will never be used as comic covers ever again. This is your only chance to get them in the kickstarter”.
This is what intrigued me to buy one. I’d be interested to see how many of the other 5 covers were made, but very happy with a fun Transformer homage /40.

One day I hope to be able to show my Monster and the Wolf Kickstarter comics. It doesn’t even show as shipped yet 
My KS bundle will be around 18 comics and some of the ones are already shown in Stan’s post above. I did not get the Transformer or ASM homage - but I wish I did
Excited to see the Freaky Franky GPK in hand

There were 138 backers for the ‘Last 7 days Cover Bundle’ according to my pledge on the KS
I feel like you can swap out a few of those words with “beanie baby” and find yourself in a 90s infomercial…
Or that guy that sold baseball cards on the home shopping channel (I google’d him: Don West)
You’re not wrong, but I’m here for it!
I just received notification my Spears KS order is being packed up and preparing to ship…finally…
