That’s more or less what we’re doing. Trying to stay to one per series, or if it’s something we’re HUGE fans of at the most one per arc. Doing an exclusive every issue kind of ruins them being something special/unique imo.

They should just stop being a diamond store, and become exclusives only at this point. I mean seriously
Exactly. I’m glad a store gets it. Finally sense in the exclusive world of comics.

They could rebrand as “Unknown Comics Presents Unknown Comics as Listing Agent for David Nakayama Store Exclusive Comics”

Link please? Of all the variants for 3, this one may be the best. I’ll flip my 1:25 for it. But just want the trade.
What I’d like I know is if it’s available through the NYC shop. Last time I ordered from across the pond they shipped it in a thin mailer and it was crushed.
Also if anyone else is in the UK I’ve pre ordered some stuff with TFAW now and pressed the estimated shipping and it’s under £10 so don’t worry about a huge bill

My goodness, how fast did the Mayhew go? I’m glad I set my alarm to purchase right at go live. I went back and looked maybe 30 minutes later and everything was sold out. Just curious if anyone noticed how quickly that happened.
This is becoming just like new Jordan sneaker releases. Gone instantly and people/groups using bots to screw over the old school manual users.
The difference between Jordans and Comics I actually have a chance of getting a comic with the J’s it’s people with 100+ SNKRS accounts just snatching everything up

That’s still crazy quick for a few thousand on the trade. That’s the only one I tried for. I purchased one trade copy for the pc. Even used my new registration discount code for $4 off to boot =)
I just related to the sneaker world because it’s such a turnoff. I’m by no means a sneaker collector, but I’ve been trying to purchase Jordan drops since like maybe August 2020. I’ve never hit on SNKRS and I’ve probably tried no less than 30 times. I’ve got a couple random releases on store apps (foot locker, finishline) but that’s it.
Just frustrating is all. I hate seeing some of these comic exclusives headed down that same path. Another that cames to mind is the Gleason Venom exclusive.

1k virgins split between 5 stores, when you consider each store took some for ss cgc. that leaves only 150-170 raw virgins per a store

Meh. I missed all the fun. Congrats to those who got covers. I’ll sit and wait for the next one.
After the Tfaw imma stick with the main covers and a ratio of I’m lucky on Tfaw. Definitely soured on these after wantedcomix, mayhew pushback, and the wave after wave of covers for SWHR got caught in that Venom wave with Virus and I made it ok thankfully but quite a few doubles in my long box from that era.

I’m undecided on Forbidden Planet. Definitely out on Wanted Comix because, all things being equal (release date, etc.) I like the Mayhew Marchion Ro one better and I managed to grab it.
Forbidden Planet has the first Veter on the cover, but I don’t know if that’s enough to warrant an order from me. Will he be a big enough character? Probably not in my estimation.
Is there even a US distributor for it? I couldn’t find it on fpnyc (maybe I’m just bad at searching), but Forbidden Planet UK currently doesn’t look like they ship to the US
EDIT: He might be a pretty big character. I think he’s in 3 of the 4 Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Forbidden Planet is not currently shipping internationally… and they will not let me update my card information. Not sure what’s up with that.
