Image TMNT #24 - Page 5

Hm, barring the extra copies Demon-Alukard has, I think #24 is "sold out" now.

**Jester** · 05-15-2011, 04:50 PM

When can we expect the digital copy for...um...the frugal fans...yeah...that's it...frugal.

You can send me PM , if you want an issue. Shipping would be a bit expensive, because I'm from Russia, but anyway you can get hold the physical copy.

I'm also going to print spanish remake of TMNT Vol.1 #8 (without Cerebis) as the single issue, if someone interested.

Anyone mail a copy to "the guys" at mirage

or is it going to be a digital version sent to them?

It's true...I'll admit it. But then again, I don't own any of the other Image issues either...physically.

If there's enough fan demand I don't see why you guys couldn't do a second printing...

Heck, wasn't the $9.50 pretty much the cost of the shipping? I'd hate to see what this whole thing did cost.

Apparently not very (assuming Andrew didn't take a loss). Considering what it cost him to ship books out, and what it probably cost to get them here from Russia--also considering Andrew told me at what point what he would need to print them, and that I know how many books were printed, I can ROUGHLY estimate the price per book printed. It SEEMS like a lot of money, and is considering it has to be forked out up front and doesn't come back until all the books have been ordered...then yes, it is a lot of money in a sense.

*Powder* · 05-16-2011, 01:33 PM

Way to contradict yourself.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 05-16-2011, 04:00 PM

I didn't contradict myself. It simply depends on how you look at it. In the sense that the printing costs/cost to ship the books here has to be paid up front it is a lot of money. I know what I paid for the two copies of the book that I ordered. I know what it cost to ship them to me, and I know how many were printed. So I'm assuming cost per book (for materials, labor, etc) was actually not very high.

An assumption that would be fallacy. Shop around at some overseas printing companies willing to print copyrighted material, then look at what they charge for printing if you can even get past minimum orders of 1000 or so... and if you are actually able to clear those two hurdles -- admittedly not impossible, as such places exist, but it takes some dilligence -- then find out what they charge to ship you them. You're already approaching $1,000, and this is just to print and receive the comics... now you still have to mail them out to everybody!

Demon-Alukard was able to give a reasonable deal in Russia, though it actually ended up costing me more than a somewhat shady company that I was talking to in China that wasn't even willing to show me proofs or anything prior to me giving them all the money for the printing/shipping. While I would've saved a bit of money with the Chinese company, I preferred the peace of mind with Demon-Alukard that he wouldn't screw me over, since he has an invested interest in the project as well.

Silly question time: is there anyway to get a pro-rated refund on the issues that were less than prefect? That is on your end...from the printer.

Best bet would be to send a message to Demon-Alukard on that.

**Jester** · 05-16-2011, 05:12 PM

I was only mildly curious...just felt since there were some that weren't 100% the printer might try to make some amends.

*PizzaPower* · 05-16-2011, 07:11 PM

yea anything like this is costly, but either way it was amaing what they did and what they are going to do for 25, thanks everybody. and shoot i dont own a single hardcopy of the image series, well i just bought 3 and they are coming in the mail but yeaaa.

*CyberCubed* · 05-17-2011, 11:33 AM

One more thing, I love how everyone was in character. Nobody said anything they felt out of line or anything, this felt just like the way the Mirage or Image writers would handle all the characters.

Especially Baxter, I thought this dialogue was very good and fit the character perfectly.
