I'm just hoping that mine ends up being graded as a 9.9, and despite having nothing to do with the book, BWS decides to sign. :P

So, I just stopped by my shop (they forgot to pull EW for me - dang it), but I did confirm that they received Unity Red (actually I spotted it hiding behind the counter.

I asked the guy if it was for sell, and he said he wasn't sure, but he'd let the owner know I'm interested. Some punk kid listening in says, "what's that, Neil" and my first thought was to say, "Mine."

I'm pretty sure I'll be getting one now, which makes me very happy. I just wonder how much it will cost me. :hm:

Are comic shops only getting 1 copy ?

I hope my LCS gets at least 2 ... I know Depluto goes to my LCS also

So I hope we both can get one

I guess I'll find out if they have one for me when I go next week

Lots on ebay right now with Buy It Now prices of $48 plus s/h to $60 plus s/h.

Give it a few months, maybe it will go for even less.

Well, after tweeting Valiant about LCSs in Canada receiving no response, I just gave up and picked one up one eBay for $49.99.

I'm a 'have it sooner rather than later' kind of guy - the kind comic companies love so much! :P

My LCS says he isn't getting one because he doesn't order enough total issues. Is this something from VEI, or coming from Diamond?

Many of these on the 'bay for $50 ish..

So how many shops are there??? That would help us understand the numbers.

I think many collectors are going to jump on this too soon and end up bummer about over paying.

I will watch and see... If my LCS has one I might pick it up for $20-$30..

Looks like prices have dropped since they first came out. Must be more of them coming out or supply is catching up to the demand on these.

I think our main man Hawkeyeps found out from either Atom! or Dino that the reds are coming to Canada, there has just been a minor delay for some reason. You might have got a decent price there anyway, B!

It just seems so wrong that a Valiant book with such a beautiful red & white cover like that isn't in the Great White North yet :lol:

I think demand will increase when Unity finally launches, more people know about it and there are less available.

My shop sold me one for $25. Stoked!

Not bad at all! Better than the $130 I paid, but I have no regrets. It feels great to hold a new limited/rare book in your hands while many collectors are still debating and searching.

What is the "feel" of this book at the moment in terms of numbers in circulation? 2,000 or less? 5,000 or less?

Well, if it makes you feel better, he knows I'm a huge Valiant fan and set it aside for me, but gave me a huge discount because I drop so much money in his store every week!

I saw it in there ... I told him I would probably buy one down the road sometime. He also wasn't sure if he could sell it before Unity 1 comes out.

These are now selling as low as $35...

FWIW, I stopped purchasing variants unless I find 'em on the cheap (they're WAYYYYYYYYYYYY out of control and generally unsustainable), but my LCS owner set his copy aside for me and offered it for 1/2 current ebay ($17.50). So what the hell, I bought it... :?

Contacted 3 comic books stores in my city and none have heard of a Unity preview book!

My LCS said he'd put it aside for me if he stumbles across one but he couldn't remember seeing one.

Were these shipped to Australia or was it a US preview only?
