Probably no one will care except collectors. It's hard to know for sure on price but it's a good bet they'll be extremely hard to come by with such a low print qty. Typically, harder to find = more rare. More rare = more $$.

As a long-time collector of the Turtle comics, the general rule of thumb I've noticed regarding new material is "Get it now because it's not cheap later".

Of course, that was when Mirage printed the books, now with IDW producing their comics in larger quantities, those books may slide down the slope in value over time. Thus far, a lot of the Mirage material can be had for around cover price, give or take a bit.

I pretty much go by the "Get it now" rule...partly because of price and partly because of scarcity in the future. But I know that not everyone is able to do that and some of these IDW covers are extremely expensive. I wasn't always able to go by that rule...during my college years I wasn't able to keep up with much and it took me years to track down some of the lower print run issues from that era. However, the internet has completely changed things from the way they were 10 or 15 years ago. It likely wouldn't take so long today.

Have you all seen the art on Mateus Santolouco's deviantart page?

He has these up.. he mentions they were not final and the cover was unofficial.. but still pretty darn cool.

obviously nicktoon inspired.

Yeah they're old news. As I've said before, the unofficial cover is the illest one. Shame it's not to be used.

I had a feeling that would be the case.. but figured it wouldnt hurt to mention them anyway.

I certainly hope Raph and Mikey don't have vacuum mouths in the actual book. XD

I saw the covers on google, I wish they could use those instead of these.

I honestly rarely like the way artists draw the turtles so I don't even care anymore.. I just enjoy the stories.

Your avatar is so confusing to me (but I like it, don't get me wrong).
