Been just over 5 years since we re opened a retail store and busy cannot be used to describe how my life is
Shall try to stay on here and make a concerted effort to read the threads at least.

Oh ya 1991 guide value of Detective 27 in Fine was $15k. Anyone around that time remember sales of the book? :lol: Had a chance to buy both batman #1 and Det # 27 for £4k a piece in '88, but couldnt get the funds and my mother who had recently received money from a house sale put into a pension whi...

Gotham City Sirens is on fire due to movie speculation. I didn't even know about this book a week ago. These issues sell for between £7.50 and £15 a piece over here already and have for the last few years, so look for these to skyrocket, being printed just before DC dropped everything for the New 5...

I think X-Files 1 from 1995 might be an undervalued gem. It's the first comic appearance of Mulder and Sculley, and I think it's a great property that really has a place in pop culture. Plus, I don't think the print run is very high. Agreed if they keep the license alive or it keeps its fan base. A...

Yep, 1st Jim Lee comic work.

I... did not know that. I always heard about Alpha Flight 53 being his first Marvel work, but not about this one.

Af 51 joint 1st with Solo Avengers # 1?

Guys, sorry to bother but I have a question in mind: is the Longbow Hunters #1 a "gem" (1st Shado)? I found a F copy (maybe higher, no creases on the covers, pages are super clean given it's age) of it for 5 euros. Not wanting to flip it or whatever, I bought it because I want to own the ...

The whole line was quite underrated, but printed at a time of immense glut, so slipped under the radar in a time where people could not afford to try everything and see for themselves

May have a the spare set of Vortex now if you still require my good sir?

Still finding the odd book here and there on Comico in general, though the more obscurer ones for sure. Just read through this thread and didn't see any mention of the tangentially-related adult fantasy series Ironwood that Willingham did for Eros Comix. Apparently, the main character does appear -...

No. I know of the character just never really tried him. I read the write up in the LCS paper freebie, ComicShopNews, and he read a bit like a poor mans Animal Man. I wasn't sold on the character. published successfully as a mature readers title that was outstanding in the 80's way before animal wa...

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/01/25/two-things-about-the-dc-comics-rebirth/ More info from Bleeding Cool. Almost sounds like DC is making the same mistake they made for the Reboot the first time round. Basically taking pitches from writers but not telling them if they actually have the job. On t...

The New 52 continuity wouldn't be a mess had DC not cocked it up from the word go. They made problems from the top down it's got nothing to do with how hard it is to maintain. It's all down to deciding that when starting over from scratch that Batman couldn't be affected but everyone connected to h...

You can't base quality OR popularity on what CBR writes an article about. I would be ASTOUNDED to find out that that the coverage that Valiant gets on "news" sites like CBR isn't bought and paid-for advertising. One of the things i first noted when the new lines were published was exacly ...

Nothing sells better than number 1's, which is pretty much all that can be taken from this. Continuity stopped being important at Infinite Crisis and the poor 52 series they did a decade before the 52 reboot. Anyone wanting continuity done right is here on this forum for that

I kinda thought all of these things were rigged from day one according to who is in bed with who the most? Or am i missing something and the way these things are done has changed :0

Utter madness at points, but something different

lol this year i rec'd the lego as gifts from wife and boys. 1st time i actually got exactly what i asked for in a long old time

Just saw the Ghostbusters firestation, while looking at stuff for my daughter. Very big, something like 4500 pieces (I think). You do this yourself or with the boys? I basically pooped my pants at the £275 price tag and they were out of stock anyway, so bought Ecto-1 instead with some xmas money gi...

Some good posts here and I'll hopefully get back to this one later

Finished artic and close to Scrooby door, looking at new star wars sets though smaller ones. Would love the cinema as part of the shops sets and noted that the ghostbuster fire station is same scale

My entirefamily, most of my friends and lots of my customers are huge lego fans, my ten year old has about 1,000 mini figs
We have 300+ sets and growing

Cheers guys and thanks Phantom, it was an amazing thing to recieve with so many large businesses near us and at the awards, but what made it so special was that these were voted for by the people who had to go online and fill out a form. So not only did we get nominated and receive enough votes to g...
