Nah, because it's a variant; having a Christmas cover during Halloween, now that's puzzling.

Bobby Curnow says that the people who organize the VACC requested the Christmas theme because it sells well.

This actually makes sense, I'd buy a Christmas cover in October if I knew they weren't having the Con in November or December.

Yeah, I saw that post (I'm a mod on the TMNT board) and still thought it was an odd request: the con is Halloween weekend, why not have a cool fall/Halloween cover?

The Christmas cover is cute though, and I do want the damn thing!

Soooo, does that mean they expect the remaining 999 to sell for 125.99 each?

No. The first few may sell high, but after the early adopters pay the high prices, a lot of them will probably sit at a high point for awhile untouched, and then start trickling down.

Hardcore. That seller just offered me a second chance offer for $13 (My previous max bid) saying he was a able to get another. So your first sells for $125.99 and less then one day later you now you want to sell me one for $13?

To top that seller has 2 up for $99.

Don't pay flipper prices on this one folks. I have a hunch it didn't sell so well and before they are put on the market for close to con cost a few flippers are trying to cash in on the hardcore collectors and fans.

Does anyone know how much these sold for at the Con?

*Redrumh2o* · 10-31-2011, 12:54 PM

They were sold for $10

Well, I just bought one from one of the sponsors apparently, a dude named Guy. It was 17.95 total.
