Star Wars: The High Republic

Checked my walmart in NJ. Nothing.

Oooh sorry, contestants, the answer we were looking for was ā€œaround $30.ā€ Around $30 and no more is how much somebody should reasonably pay for a Wal mart Star Wars high republic thatā€™s been beat around the aisles.

I think they were worried about this:

And to be fair, there is a lot of that going on at that Wal mart.

Itā€™s a terrible store also. A woman was raped in that parking lot in midday. An old man was stabbed in front of the front doors in front of the police. It is a legitimately dangerous place to be even in non-pandemic times.

I never understood why a book can sell for around $100, and plummet to buy it now around $30 within a day. Just keep the buy it now the same and hope someone suckers into it. Why undercut when you obviously have the book?! IDIOTS!! LOL

Iā€™m glad itā€™s coming down. Now there should be less people looking for it. Keep dropping! Weā€™ll all get our copiesā€¦

$30 is still a good profit when you only spend $9. Doubling your investment after all costs.

No doubt, but $100 was absurd and based entirely on puffery.

I went to Walmart today. I didnā€™t find the comic but I won 4 stuffed animals on 7 attempts at the crane game. I am weirdly good at crane games.

When I worked at Dave and Busters I could win the crane game over 90% of the time, but anytime before or after that job I never win. Weird huh?

Some people really have a knack for those crane games. My wife is amazing and always gets what she wants, however I can never win any that I go after :joy:

Crane games can be adjusted to be stronger or weaker more or less often by the companies. I can tell when a crane is unwinnable after one or two tries or if Iā€™m gonna have a good number of pulls.

I rarely order store variants anymore. Last one I think was Venom 25 Iron Lion (first Virus cover). This one I had to bite on.

I also wanted to add the ASM 61 Kirkham tradeā€¦but it sold out this morning. Idiots not willing to wait for this to go live!

I likely could have ordered it and got them to combine the two ordersā€¦but it wasnā€™t that import.

So grabbed two sets. See what happens. Surprised the Bots didnā€™t come in and wipe everything out in the first few minutes. I think this cover is better than most of the others for this issue. $45 for the set of Virgin/Trade seems like a good deal too. Maybe the print run is graters than 3000/1500ā€¦? :man_shrugging:

Buy what you like.

BTW, you join their private group and get free shipping on orders $15 and up.

Thanks. But I am going to skip that one. The only variant I got so far was the Mayhew one. I try to avoid them now, unless it is for my PC.

The Kirkham sold out a day ago. At least last I checked.

Iā€™m only in if Frankies lies to me by promising heā€™s gonna destroy 80% of them, provide crappy proof of the destruction while selling slowly on the secondary market. But the real kicker is, I must have a really cheesy self made COA that lies to me as well saying thereā€™s only X amount in existenceā€¦ for the warm fuzzy feeling my copy is ā€œsuper duper specialā€ā€¦ :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I worked a double last night and cleared at 8am. So on the way home I stopped at two Walmarts. The first still had nothing. But the second store I got lucky and was able to find one.
