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 that’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.

It’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

I’m glad it’s coming down. Now there should be less people looking for it. Keep dropping! We’ll all get our copies…

$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 didn’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 I’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 trade…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 orders…but it wasn’t that import.

So grabbed two sets. See what happens. Surprised the Bots didn’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 3000/1500…? :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.

I’m only in if Frankies lies to me by promising he’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 there’s only X amount in existence… 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.
