[Want to Buy] Free TMNT book

HotJuicyBurgers · 09-15-2012, 04:59 PM

Hey everyone, i'm just gonna copy what I had in my other thread.

"Hey everyone, I'm not exactly sure where this would go, (I don't think it would go in the for trade or sale section) But I just found out that my LCS isn't getting this in. I'm pretty bummed about it, and it was the final straw that made me move my pull list to another store. (Among the many reason include store being very disorganized, basically being treated like an outsider, small discount for subscription service etc etc) Of course where I now have my pull list they aren't getting this book, and with everything Diamonds orders have to go in 2 MONTHS in advance. (I sure wish there was at least one other company competing with diamond...)

ANYWAYS, I know this is a free book, and I was hoping that maybe someone would be willing to pick one up for me? I would of course pay shipping and all that, but I'm just a bit bummed out after all that is happening.

Any info or advice you guys have would be much appreciated!"

I'll bump this-- I'm going to need at least four copies of this as well, so if anyone can get that many for me, I'll be more than willing to pay a reasonable price for them including shipping.

have they released a preview of the cover yet? I'd like to see what the big deal is.

Not really a big deal, just want it for my collection.

This should be the official B/S/T trade for this item-- if anyone is going to have extras to part with, they can post here-- and those who probably will NOT have access to them who will need copies can post here as well.

I hope this does not become a free for all lol...

I'd like one also!

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 09-24-2012, 02:15 PM

I'll bump this again. There are two comic book stores within reasonable driving distance from me. One of the managers told me that they wouldn't be giving out the books until Halloween and that it would be one book per person. The other store's owner told me to call him on Wednesday.

I've got about 10 comic stores within a 25 mile radius of me. If these things are going to be highly sought after, maybe I should drive around and pickup a few to help pay for all those dang IDW cover variants I'm trying to catch up on!

*TheCanadiandrome* · 09-24-2012, 09:39 PM

If either one of u gets me one I'll gladly pay

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 09-25-2012, 03:05 PM

Other than the two people who buy books from me every month (who will be getting this for the price of each book that they order for me), my price for this, assuming I can get any copies of it AT ALL, is going to be $11 shipped.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 09-26-2012, 01:13 AM

Sounds good

dkram230 · 09-26-2012, 12:34 PM

Went to my usual comic store today and they told me that they got them in, but that they're all on reserve. Apparently they allowed teachers and such to reserve these for kids as incentives and rewards, leaving none for the collectors. LAME! I hit up two other smaller shops and was told they did not get any in. That's about as much as I fit in over my lunch before having to get back to the office. So I'll have to check a few places again this afternoon after work. Anyone else have luck with finding it?

*Master Splinter* · 09-26-2012, 05:49 PM

Talked to the guys at my LCS and they said they have them but they are not giving them away until Halloween. They were awesome and grabbed one and put it in my pull & hold so I know it will be waiting for me when I go next month.

There is a listing on ebay for a copy of the Halloween issue w/ issue 1 2nd print which is kind of random but they are only $13 with free shipping, seller still has 9 as I picked up 1 just a few mins ago. Not my auction.

Found that earlier and been debating it all night. Not sure why. I actually need issue 1 2nd print so it should be a no brainer for me lol.

Yep It's A Trap · 09-27-2012, 01:38 AM

so this is just a reprint of issue 1 except it has a new, slightly different colored cover with the "happy halloween" listed in the corner? There's nothing else about it that's special or "halloweenish", right? When I heard there was going to be a free "halloween" edition, I guess I had my hopes set too high. I guess I'm just missing the big deal in this case but it's probably just me.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's all there is to it man. I wanted it myself because I have collected all of the variants of issue 1 besides 1 and I really liked the colors.

Yep It's A Trap · 09-27-2012, 02:19 AM

I do like the colors too. I just think it's a wasted opportunity. They could have done a really cool Halloween variant cover which wasn't free and I would have bought it in a heartbeat.

*Mayhem* · 09-27-2012, 06:33 AM

If anyone has a spare of the Hallowe'en now I'd be interested, but I can wait a month if a lot more copies will emerge...
