As long as you know the shipping in advance (preferably !), or its fair for the books, packaging, as you stated, etc. These should have had a fixed shipping charge per number of books, IMO, and then the customer makes the choice.

Wait did those go on sale already? or does any one know the date/time? I would like to try and get one for the PC.

The IDW HRA Exclusives of #12 & 13?
Yeaaa - they went on sale yesterday.
One sold out within a few minutes; the other sold out a bit later.

$17.52 for 3 books.

But After I sold the last HRA Exclusive for $100 and got an offer of $200 for my second copy, figured it was worth it.

Remember, these are $10 with a 400 limitā€¦most places charge $20 for 3000 copy exclusives. So net was $15 a copy shipped. Just look at the bottom lineā€¦! Itā€™s a great deal!

Heads up guys. JimComics in his latest video says heā€™s going to put out another video next week featuring the Star Wars High Republic books.

So if thereā€™s any books you want, you better get it now before his video comes out and cause another fomo spike in prices.

Iā€™m in the middle of listening to the Fallen Star book at the moment and really enjoying it. It would/could/should be an amazing film if they make it.

The characters that stand out to me in this book (and are still in play by this part of the book)

Marchion Ro - High Republic Adventures 2 (Cameo in 1) Who doesnā€™t love an enigmatic, ruthless bad guy in a story?
Elzar Mann - Star Wars 20 current series - Deep Jedi character that I could see being integral going forward.(Phase 3)
Bell Zettifar - High Republic Adventures Annual
Burryaga - Star Wars Life Day 1 (I love the friendship between Bell and Burry)
Geode / Leox Gyasi / Affie Hollow - Star Wars High Republic Adventures 6

Geode is a far better character than I thought.
Leox is voiced like Matthew Mcconaughey and comes across better than in the comics.

All of the books I have read so far add something to the characters that the comics havenā€™t always captured.

Think heā€™ll correct his claim that High Republic 15 is first Great Leveler? (Itā€™s Trail of Shadows 5)

Burryā€™s first cameo is High Republic 1 in the crowd.

First full is Life Day 1.

First cover is High Republic Adventures 11 Loo variant.

I should note that itā€™s unknown if he survived Fallen Star at this point. The foreshadowing of finding him was so heavy in the second half of the book, though that I fully expect him to return.

Thanks for that info, I hadnā€™t noticed Burryā€™s cameo in 1. I just read the EDGE OF BALANCE 2 Manga and Sav Malagan and Lily Tora-Asi had some cool moments. And an appearance from another Wookie - Jedi Master Arkoff!

I had no idea there were 3 quality first appearances in the FCBD 2021 STAR WARS HIGH REPUBLIC EDGE OF BALANCE
Stellan Gios, Lily Tora-Asi and Jedi Master Arkoff. Thanks to WookyWiki for the info.

I suppose the only issue for speculators may be how many are available. The online shop I checked had 250+ still in their inventory. (Good news for collectors)

I love Arkoff! So regal!

Now Disney can see the success of Black K, I could see them giving some other wookies some screentime. You may just get a call up :wink:

Are they stamp-free?

I will let you know when the 2 i ordered arrive! :wink: But they probably will be, judging from previous orders. (UK based online shop I should point out)

I havenā€™t seen anybody talk about this (or else I missed it in the thread), but isnā€™t HRA #3 a key with first Ro cover? It just his head, but first time we see the helmet on a cover, right?

That is correct if you donā€™t count store exclusives.

The first Marchion covers are HR 3 Mayhew and HR 3 Sliney variants.

HRA 3 would be #1 if youā€™d donā€™t count exclusives.

Both covers are gangster as hell.

Granted these are ā€œpre-salesā€ but not feeling too bad about paying $18 shipping for 3 books nowā€¦
