I don't know that that is a particularly fair statement. For some of us, the hunt for limited runs is a significant part of the joy of collecting. For you to judge where someone's joy of collecting is derived from is kind of lame.

I'm not really sure how those books enter into the argument, but I'll address it anyway. Kevin and I had planned those books since we spoke about it at the Issue #1 Golden Apple launch. The fact that they changed hands at the convention is neither here nor there. In fact, those were done for me as a surprise on day two of the convention. I didn't know he was going to do them at LBCC until he told me at the end of the day on day 1.

Which is why you went to the convention to get the book. You could have not gone and gambled getting it through the secondary market or through IDW if it didn't sell out. You made your choice. No sympathy.

All I was ever saying was that individuals are in control of making their own choices, and no one forced them to do anything or pay any certain amount of money for this book.

the PoPbot BBB which is 3-5 times larger and over 10 pounds cost me $9.54 for shipping.

I was told this drink was the sh*t and here I am spitting out my first sip looking at you like WTF?! Tell Ted to lock it down. We have the memory of elephants.

I went back and looked over my to order receipts and in the case of BBB Media mail was used by IDW and on the Ultimate variant it looks like Fed Ex is the only option.

If Fed Ex gets it here undamaged Ill gladly pay a lil more on this and future orders for shipping. I apologize for my soft tax remark.

I would only be upset if they printed more copies, thus making it not limited.

Interesting, I was given a less expensive option, bringing my total to 57 and some change.

That got me curious and I went through the entire reorder process again to see if I missed anything.

I'm an Idiot. I choose the cheapest Fed Ex option without even seeing the USPS column shipping options. Oh well live and learn. My apologies to IDW.

Has anyone's order shipped yet? I haven't recieved a shipping notice yet.

azrael · 11-26-2011, 09:03 PM

How fast do these ship? I canceled amazon and bit the bullet...

I ordered mine on Friday I assume they will ship out Monday.

I ordered it with Fedex ground when do you guys/gals think it will arrive, based on your experience. BTW I live in the ATL.

Amazon has them In Stock right now. My brother's book shipped today from them.

I cancelled my Amazon order to get the limited edition... I liked that cover better.

These were listed for sale the day before Thanksgiving and it's currently Sunday. Waiting until Monday for anything to happen isn't unreasonable.

Wow it was just wed, lol I felt it was listed way before that is the only reason I asked. Trying to see what the average is in "processing and shipping."

As anyone ordered anything from IDW directly before?

Never said it was. Amazon orders started shipping yesterday so I was just wondering if anyone's IDW order had shipped, that's all.

*ssjup81* · 11-27-2011, 02:06 PM

I ordered my copy through Amazon and it's been shipped. I ordered two copies. One to collect, one to read. My amount came to $63.60. The S&H was $4.98.

John Pannozzi · 11-27-2011, 09:24 PM

It's strange. My copy has yet to arrive at my LCBS.

azrael · 11-28-2011, 08:23 AM

You lcbs probrobly ordered through amazon. Saved making $20+ off of you.

*Samhain* · 11-29-2011, 02:20 PM
