I thought IDW announced the print runs for the exclusives, but I can’t find any specific information for each issue.
What I posted was the “Comichron Estimates.” I was asking Kevin about the IDW exclusives.

most they didnt, but when they went live i would try adding 999 to cart and it would lower to how many they had left, new system shows you on the item page. id have to go back through discord when they went live to find out, the recent ones loaded with 300 copies, some of the earlier ones i dont feel confident enough to say cause i might be mixing them up with other non sw books that dropped at same time
Is IDW ever known for distributing previously released exclusives from their website at Cons or other in-person events?
every publisher holds back copies for damages and comps, but 500 is the max on any of those sw idw books, if i remember right #6 loaded with like 400

Nice. When I have time to add them, I’ll put them down for 500. Thanks Kevin.

at this point people that dont already have copies i would suggest just focusing on the main 1st apps, and dont over pay, were at least several years out from any movie or show, prices are spiked right now but the will level off some

If you call them what they are, then it should be fine. They’re estimated orders, correct? And I think they don’t publish back-orders/re-orders every month if it doesn’t meet a threshold. True Print runs are never advertised anyway.
Some of these in question like HR1 at 200k+. Doesn’t that number include reprints? Is that several
Months added together Or was that all one month?
they both came out in January so id imagine there combined 1st print and 2nd print
I got HRA 13 as a major key for first full appearance of Zint. You can laugh now but when the little guy shows up on screen wearing a skull helmet to sell toys to kids like Grogu, just remember you heard it here.

When you’re posting bullshit numbers you will get called out. At the least call it what it is. Diamonds sales numbers.

Can we refrain from calling High republic adventures major keys. Real Star Wars major keys like Ashoka take offense.

All major keys today had their humble beginnings. No one cared about the Dark Horse SW books for the longest time. Ashoka, Thrawn were found in the dollar bins not that long ago. It wasn’t until Disney acquired Marvel, put out great SW comics and the Mandalorian that it all came together.

I’ll pick at it too…in good fun.
What’s the difference between a key and a major key? Are there “minor” keys as well?
And whats the difference between a “Possible Major Key” and just being a “key”? Are there possible keys and possible minor keys?
Isn’t a key by any other name just as key?
@faele how many copies of HRA1 & HRA2 did you end up getting from diamond in the past 6 months or so that likely aren’t reflected in these numbers? Seems like from info you’ve provided many 100s, possibly 1000s.
