alburrito Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I'm here now. Shortly after I bought my copy I over heard one of the dudes say they were sold out "for the day". So it's quite possible he might be saving some copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Which ones were you able to get today? I heard they were just down to Freeze, so that'd be a pretty good indicator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alburrito Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Yeah batman, freeze was the only one they had available today. Also all batman prints were sold out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noalarmplanet Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 There is no way these were limited to 200 each. It's probably double that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noalarmplanet Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 The whole idea of something being a "con exclusive" and being butthurt about it showing up online later seems silly to me, if you paid for 200 dollar tickets just to buy buy bullshit instead of have an experience then you've got messed up priorities I feel.

noalarmplanet Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 My mistake here. He was talking about a Lego set.Oh gotcha, I'm in a similar boat as you someone picked me up three of em, just need harley and man bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknown pleasures Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 So each variant limited to 200. If they really kept some for online sales, let's say 50 of each, those will be sold out in like a minute. Good luck with buying all 5. But I need to get Man Bat to complete my set so I'll be ready and hitting that F5 button. There is no way these were limited to 200 each. It's probably double that Totally agree. If these were limited to anywhere near 200 each, there's no way any of them would have lasted more than a day (much less Mr Freeze lasting into today!). If the talk of 'no purchase limits' being in place was true, the hordes of people queuing up for Mondo stuff buying multiples would have snatched up the entire 800 copies in a few hours. Just look at how many of the people who list on eBay have 3, 4 or 5 copies of each single available... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknown pleasures Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Do My mistake (see 3 posts above yours) That's what I get for not reading through! I could totally believe 200 for a lego set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget that it took basically an entire day at the event for any of the event copies to sell out. If you're gonna be pissed that you didn't get one and now there's gonna be an online drop, news flash, IT'S YOUR FAULT YOU DIDN'T GO TO EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE CON. If you want to hear a bullshit story about things selling out at a convention, I was the very first person at a print booth the very first day of the Chicago Comic Con and the Art Gallery I made my way towards had already sold all of their copies of the print I was after to the "Media VIP" that was given an hour's access before the general opening to walk around and take pictures for their stupid blogs that nobody reads. It's not like there were only 1 or 2 prints for sale either, there were fucking 30 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am tired of is that for 2 years in a row i've gotten up on time registered correctly and get in the queue for tickets to comiccon but because the whole fucking thing is random i've been screwed out of tickets both times. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. Happens all the time in the world of art collecting. Lots of originals and high demand prints sell to VIPs at Mondo Events (who don't need to wait in line) before the doors open to fans who have been waiting in line for days. Not much different, in fact worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 how does one get access like that? i'd die for early access to the batman gallery show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I'm far from VIP but really grateful for the one gallery I made it to in Austin and they let me in early to buy what i wanted before the lines! The issue isn't with the actual VIP, it's with the gallery giving access for the VIPs to buy up all the good stuff before the show starts. Of course a VIP is gonna take advantage of the situation when offered a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimthehuman Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 how does one get access like that? i'd die for early access to the batman gallery show. Lets dress up as Batman and Robin and walk in the back, and when we are questioned what we are doing, we just tell them that we were hired to be there for the event. Seems fool proof to me!

marc32137 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Anyone remember how much Mondo charged for shipping for the Tales From The Crypt 7"s? It had to be less than the $7 they charge for LPs, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whip Wilson Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Anyone remember how much Mondo charged for shipping for the Tales From The Crypt 7"s? It had to be less than the $7 they charge for LPs, right?If memory serves, I ordered 4 (1 full set for me and an "eye" for my friend) and they initially charged $14. I believe they refunded some of that after I inquired via email as to how many 7"s they could fit into a mailer. And they did arrive in a full sized Mondo mailer.

marc32137 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 So apparently I had an eBay coupon for $5 off a $20+ app purchase. Was able to snag a Mr. Freeze for $32ppd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc32137 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Plus I just got a shipping confirmation and he sent it Priority. Expected to arrive Wednesday. Not too bad considering the Harley and Joker ones are going for $60-70 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
