The story goes that DC was set to cancel the book due to COVID-19, but Diamond had already printed some copies. Instead of pulping them, they threw them in those Walmart 3-packs
Edit: As @agentpoyo said, they weren’t printed by Diamond. DC had printed them and sent them for distribution.
It was never released to shops but now showing up in Wal-Mart 3 packs… give it more time, more will likely surface and it’s not as rare as one likely thinks it is. People are just being dumb with their money with FOMO controlling their urges!
Diamond didn’t print… DC had them printed, shipped to distributor to never get distributed (probably because DC said to cancel) but after time passed, they probably got permission to sell to Wal-Mart for their 3 packs to offload the extra inventory.
If RWBY had fans, they would have bought the books on release…
They didnt. Nobody cared about the books (#1-6)
Same boat as Gen Lock. It’s also not a “grail”. And sellers labeling it as “pulped” dont make sense. Do people even know what “pulped” means ?? Because, the book is available which means it wasnt “pulped”…
Found a copy of RWBY 7 Cover A and B in two of the several ‘I am Batman’ packs, but not all. Need to look at the spine to pick the right one.
Also found a Campbell Exclusive Catwoman and Detective 1027 Blue sketch cover variant in the ‘I am Batman’ packs. Not sure if the latter is worth anything, may be cover price. The Catwoman is easy to spot.
Seems like the ‘I am Batman’ packs are the ones to look for, check out for variants. But I noticed that other packs have ‘Three Jokers’, ‘Batman Imposter’, Batman 100, etc. and other variants in them; probably not worth much though.
The Marvel packs are a bust this time - didnt notice if the Star Wars books are Walmart variants. Also, the Captain America/Iron Man 1 is a Walmart variant but nothing special.
