Star Wars: The High Republic

My shipping frequency is set to every 2 weeks.

Watched a couple of online comic sales last night live.
The craze and ongoing stream of “do you have HR?, when will we see HR?, etc, etc” was endless.
In all the shows, A covers priced around 9.99 up to 14.99 and the Hans from 14.99 up to 24.99
sold like wildfire regardless of price. Price wasn’t even a factor for folks. Many, many copies just sold in a frenzy.

I got my Star Wars #10 Variant for $29.99 though finally! I sure love that cover. Funny how certain books and art just really can call to you on an individual basis.

My LCS had all their non-DC books pushed to delivery for tomorrow. After reading Future State’s hot garbage on offer digitally last night, I have no reason to go to the shop today.

It is unfortunate, but a lot of stores shipments are late (including mine). It is likely causing higher prices on these comics since it makes people think they are a lot scarcer then they are.

Am I the only one that thought the second print cover was awful? :thinking:

Wandered into a Newbury Comics (MA) today and got 1x each cover at cover. They had a few more of each, but I chose to keep my karma good.

3rd print announced at Sanctorum I know Tfaw will have at some point

Westfields just canceled my order of 25 star wars high republic made in December, stating allocation.
While I understand this is a smoking hot book, I am noticing a lot of online sellers canceling orders of hot books. Very disappointing.

It is a very common trend lately. Terrible business practice for sure. Imagine if you didn’t order those 25, then they wouldn’t have 25 to possibly sell elsewhere :smirk:

Disappointing given the positive reviews for Westfield. Now if the big online sellers are cancelling when ever they want to, what does the future hold for buying books.

Westfield got me 1 time. Removed them from my saved comic shops.

Once TFAW hits Weds, any books that haven’t formally processed LOOK like they get pushed to the next week in the “estimated shipping” section, but once TFAW starts the processing, the 1/6 books will get pulled back in. So, you should be fine.

UNLESS there are serious damages or a delayed delivery of books to them. They’ve had to push things back a week before.

Store owners are mental nowadays. Pure greed.
" What your store does is exactly what a smart store should do. Give it for cover to subs, then put behind the counter and evaluate every person asking for it as either a customer or a speculator." - store owner
FB speculating groups are full of them. Try to say that mark ups on NCBD are bad and they will eat you alive.

LCS pulled all three standard covers off the shelf before opening. I know this because they posted pics of them on the shelf on social media last night.

I was at the store right when it opened.

I got my venom alien variant tho. :raised_hands:

It should happen today or tomorrow. Our Diamond shipment wasn’t showing up until this morning because of freight delays, so it’s a little behind usual.
