Re: UNITY RED - Preview book
The prices have dropped that's for sure already with BIN in the $125 range I expect it to be under $100 soon.

DO NOT PAY BIG $$$$$ FOR THIS BOOK.
IT IS NOT AS RARE AS SHADOWMAN BLACK.

Re: UNITY RED - Preview book
My LCS got one yesterday, and they by no means order a ton of Valiant books. I did ask the owner if he would do the whole ordering of Unity #1 thing so maybe it's shops that have placed a large Unity 1 order...

Re: UNITY RED - Preview book
Regardless of how many shops get one, they are still going to be limited in production, distribution, and availability. Many months from now a 9.8 Unity 1 Red will still be considered an important collectors item for any VE1 fan, and will likely cost more than $100-$200 to obtain.

Re: UNITY RED - Preview book
Agreed that they will be important collectors item. I doubt a 9.8 will go for $200 in several months. Will it go for over $100, yes.DirtbagSailor wrote: Many months from now a 9.8 Unity 1 Red will still be considered an important collectors item for any VE1 fan, and will likely cost more than $100-$200 to obtain.

That was a very decent thing for them to do, good on them.
My LCS didn't get it, but then again it may come at a later date. That sometimes happens over here, but usually it is very rare for me to see a 1:50 variant or something like this Unity Red come through. I realise that they don't order massive amounts of each title, but I think part of the problem may be Diamond's international shipping process as well.
Luckily I have come into contact with some very helpful board members to help me out so far.
The preview for this from Bleeding Cool was far too tempting too resist. I can't wait to read this arc.
Yes well if you guys over there got it on Saturday, I'll keep my fingers crossed for this week

Re: UNITY RED - Preview book
Really, Shadowman Black is rare? I was visiting some relatives for Thanksgiving last year, made a trip to the comic shop I used to go when I was younger, and saw it sitting on the shelf in front of all the normal covers for $3.99. I knew it was a variant and all, but I had no idea how lucky I was. This was two weeks after release, too.

Look at the 2 above posts.
SM Black = a preview book that has a sleeve on it
the book you are talking about = SM #1 pullbox variant

Re: UNITY RED - Preview book
My LCS just got theirs and haven't even opened it yet, but they've promised me I could have it when they're done.
I wonder what it would be like to be a lonely, muck-encrusted monster? Probably be an improvement.

I have to say, it is HARD to resist buying a few right now, even at $130-$150!

Re: UNITY RED - Preview book
You know what, screw it. I looked at scans of about 10 raw books, and decided to buy the one with the least amount of visible defects. $130 + Free shipping.DirtbagSailor wrote:I have to say, it is HARD to resist buying a few right now, even at $130-$150!

I'm interested to see this cover in person. The pictures make it look kinda candy-apple red, which is pretty cool.

Re: UNITY RED - Preview book
I was at my LCS on Monday & no sign of it... Was every shop supposed to get one last week, or is it a staggered release?

Re: UNITY RED - Preview book
Saw it on eBay BIN for $49, but was listed as being in "FINE" condition. Lots of stock photos out there at the moment; I personally want to SEE the issue before spending much more on a "FINE" copy.
It's difficult since there are no comic shops in my part of the world, so I've got to be picky with the pics.
