Kind of a light week today for me.
Was able to secure 1 copy of Detective #880 Lego for cover price. The only store out of three that I visited that even got any of them in. He had three and held one for me.
The only other score was Freddie the Fix #1 for cover price. These are still selling well for me when I find them for $30-$35.
Absolute Wonder Woman #13 and #14 Cover A 1st prints for $6 each. These go for $15-$20.
Good hunting everyone!
Thatās why you build those relationships with your LCS!
I didnāt bother going outs. Crossing my fingers online will deliver.
I did ask my LCS last week to hold one, but said he had to order it.
Obviously that was well after FOCā¦but this was before it took offā¦not sure how that worksā¦said they were showing as still available at the timeā¦but I also know nothing after FOC is guaranteed.
My LCS didnāt order the Lego 'Tec. Womp womp.
My lcs didnāt order any either. Three shops total in my area and zero were ordered.
Shoot I forgot to look for those.
Ouchā¦bought 5 of the Spears Graveyard Shift bling bags & got the same blind bag base cover in all of them. Sheesh
Yep, there have been reports of this all over Facebookā¦
It happened in my LCS. Guy opened 5 packs. All same cover. Different cards. There are only 8 covers. Regular cover and then the ratios start at 1:50 variant for the blind bag covers. Chances of getting any of the ratio covers is very limited.
Iām curious if they are still putting the print count inside the back cover? If anyone has one can they check? I have to imagine the numbers are down from the first couple blind bags.
Yeahā¦ completely my fail for not reading the fine print but damnā¦I didnāt even think that would be a thing. Itās more of a willy wonka chocolate bar deal than a blind bag.
Iām officially the sucker born every minute.
Well, Iāll never buy another Spears book and that was a trash move. Iām sure folks grabbing them off the rack arenāt reading the fine print either.
My shops confirmed they didnāt order any Lego variants. There seemed to be no interest, and then, yeah.
I guess a year goes by and they forget how to randomize books againā¦
What is this fine print youāre all talking about?
I bought one cover from third eye packaged with some other books. My LCS usually sets aside a spears book even though I donāt have it on my pull and I feel obligated to but it since I donāt buy much from them anymoreā¦
Boggleās my mind shops would not order one copy. Do they order every other variant of the most lame comics? Not buying it if they do.
I know my shop just doesnāt order variants at all. So if they said they didnāt I would believe them.
I wouldnāt say itās fine print however the back of the bag is confusing saying eight covers plus variants, but it actually said there are eight covers total with a majority of them being the regular cover the rest being variants but in very small quantities 1:50, 1:1000 and so fourth. I think people are shocked that itās the cards that are mostly different.
Shops I frequent will order A covers of stuff and some variants. It was a facsimile (so not a ton of interest) and a variant for a facsimile, with Legos. Some shops still have LEGO variants from before hanging around, so I understand it. One shop I visit (which orders a lot of stuff, generally) did order some, but they were gone FAST.
Yep ā¦so unless you are lucky enough to pull a 1:50 (at the minimum) youāll be getting the same for every single one?
Hell, all my cards were even the same but one.
Heck, at least toss in a 1:10 or 1:25 for a somewhat decent chance.
Eight unique Body Bag Exclusive covers are available to collect, each featuring original artwork and available only through the Graveyard Shift Body Bag. None of these covers are available as standard open-order editions. Body Bag Exclusive Cover H Secret Exclusive Cover (1:50) Cover I Foil Exclusive Cover (1:100) Cover J Glow-in-the-Dark Exclusive Cover (1:200) Cover K Secret Exclusive Cover (1:500) Cover L Signed Chrome Signature Exclusive Cover (1:1,000) Cover M Signed Gold Signature Exclusive Cover (1:5,000) Cover N Hand-Signed & Sketched Exclusive Cover (1:20,000) Cover O Rare covers are randomly inserted throughout the print run at the stated ratios.
This is the listing description. It says 8 covers, then lists off covers H through O, with all but H having a ratio.
Commas or a bulletized list would have helped.
I deal with this at work tooā¦the younger generation has no idea how to present anything in a readable format. They fill a slide with texts with horrible punctuation and no line breakā¦basically walls of text.
I usually hand it back and say āthis hurts my eyesā¦ā
I remember seeing him on his gatekeepers /handlers show and dont remember his saying only 1 common cover
but even then not sure if he even he knew exactly he was doing ā¦and that was right before foc
A-G are either regular covers or ratio variants. Then āeight exclusive covers only available in the bagsā then listing out the ratio-in-bag covers makes it sound like 8 covers plus ratios not 8 covers including ratios.
