Who is the guy on X-men #12?

If I end up selling any on ebay I already planned on inviting him to buy it via an offer.

Donā€™t get me started on those idiots. As if you listed his item for him. Or had an obligation to ask him to raise the price before youā€™d buy them.

Iā€™ve had several instances of this with different sellers on eBay. Most times they cancel but on the rare occasion they actually ship. Iā€™ve had quite a few incidents of them telling me that Iā€™m trying to take advantage of them.

Or you get the ones I hate the most who print a shipping label but never take it to the post office. I actually may have one of those situations currently on a book I bought. That one really hurt with the Black Panther Newsstand set months ago. I believe itā€™s in the Newsstand thread if you wanted more details.

I sold this last Wednesday or Tuesday after finding it in the back bins at an LCS.

I have no regrets, even as the book is now approaching $100 (one week later, geezus, lol) and Iā€™m not angry at the buyer, Iā€™m fine with the transaction. I donā€™t understand people who get upset that they made profit on something after selling it for their asking price. :man_shrugging:

Think you actually got over on that guy since the character was killed by Vader a couple days after your sale.

The problem with todayā€™s market people get really emotionally and financially invested in a new character no matter how bleak things get and expect it to still do amazing things even though the character has been killed after its brief appearance and will probably never see the light of day again. Not every character introduced in comics can be Spider-Man not every villain is the next Galactus some has to be fodder for the storylines. At least with X-men #2 I can see this guy sticking around for awhile.

Itā€™s a droidā€¦ droids coming back to life are more plausible than bring back to life the organic beings. :wink:

Well kinda itā€™s Star Wars so the future is pretty much already written up to a point I can tell you heā€™s not in episode 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, so I donā€™t see any kind of meaningful comeback if they were to bring him back to life.

Who, ZED-6-7? ZED is not DEAD!!! Best Droid EVER!!!

I wasnā€™t going to sit on a book whoā€™s spec was based on a droid used by Vader. The same Vader who usually kills everyone, and thing, around him. Lol.

I think the real spec in this new Vader series starts with issue #2, Padmeā€™s lookalikeā€¦ Sabe. I canā€™t recall the article but I do believe Pak was praising the character and was happy to bring her to life in the comics since she had only been in the movies and novels.

I loaded up when these were listed on eBay for cover before people realized itā€™s a 1:25. This is a great price though for anyone needing a copy.

Says $40.50 to me.

Sorry, when I posted that about a month ago it was on their Holiday sale for that price.

Yes now they have it priced at $40.50
