Forgot to write back and update on this...

the book arrived in perfect shape, wrapped in bubble wrap with some paper around it. I would have liked it to be in a plastic sleeve given its cost but I'm happy with it.

No, not with people still paying over $100 on eBay for them.

Archon, was that your auction? Just wondering because that's the picture you used in your post about your LBCC copy.

What do you mean no? That Ebay auction goes with my point. If they are selling for $100 on an auction site, it is surprising they are still in stock for retail from the publisher. With a limited run of 250 to 300 one would assume they would be sold out given how well the book is selling. You would at least think some Ebay seller would buy multiple copies to try and make a buck off the fans that still think that these were only available at the Con.

You asked, "Is anyone still surprised that these are still in stock?" I answered "no" because people are buying them on eBay instead of the IDW site. In other words, "I am not surprised these are still in stock given that people aren't going to IDW and are instead going to eBay." That's what I mean by "no"...and I do not see or understand your argument.

You know, it honestly never ceases to amaze me that people will go for the easiest (and typically always higher priced) source for something "hard to find" rather than going to the most direct source for said thing.

No, that isn't my auction. What a **** face. I'm reporting him.

Man, that sucks...happens a lot though unfortunately.

Even if they are buying them from Ebay, 250-300 is not a big supply. I would think that these would be sold by now. You don't understand this? I mean Amazon even sold out of the regular edition fairly quick. They have more in stock now, but I can assure you they have sold more than 300. It just surprises me that such a limited run is still available, given all of the hardcore TMNT collectors.

I am with you on this one. Why not at least put a little research into it and find the best price.

Wow dude, all I'm saying is that I don't understand why you're arguing with me. You asked a question and I replied with an answer. Next time let us know what answer you'd like to receive in advance, OK?

*Roseangelo* · 12-12-2011, 03:54 PM

Rich's point was that the people buying the books on eBay are idiots who don't know you can get the book direct from IDW. No need to go off on anyone.

Not trying to argue dude, or get an answer I wanted to hear. You responded to my question with your answer. That is fine, I then responded back letting you know why I had an opinion different then yours. I guess when I typed, "What do you mean no," you took that as being confrontational and took it on yourself to reply sarcastically with the cute little roll eyes icon. Sometimes typed words get misconstrued or taken out of context. Anyway, I feel lucky to have been able to get the variant at a good price. Keep up the good work IDW.

Not trying to go off on anyone. I just need to work on my typing etiquette. Reading back on my post I did sound a little hostile and I apologize for that. It was not my intent.

*ssjup81* · 12-12-2011, 04:17 PM

Hey, what was the difference between the limited edition and the reg edition?

The cover. Seriously, that's it.

No worries...I retract my rolly-eyed smiley and replace with

It amazes me that the person trying to rip these people off is one of our very own. C'mon.

I'm not surprised. I'm pretty sure he does that with every TMNT book.

*Spitfire* · 12-13-2011, 09:11 PM

It's so rare it just came out. I like how it's more then his collected book 7 he has listed which is pretty rare.

*Redrumh2o* · 12-14-2011, 08:22 AM

Do you think there will be variants of the other volumes??
