I'm like 4-5 behind, so I feel your pain.
I wonder what it would be like to be a lonely, muck-encrusted monster? Probably be an improvement.

I like the artwork, but I don't care for the logo taking up almost half of the cover.

Another popped up on eBay with the seller claiming this is as rare as the brushed metal. The seller has no explanation for that claim though.

You can see it from far and know it's the new X-O - very recognizable design. I like it a lot.

He'll learn his lesson after not selling repeatedly (and hopefully some listing fees).

Seems to me the Gold books were given out to Retailers first. I wonder if they will hand them out at Cons next?

When my LCS gave me a copy, they said the Valiant salesman that had visited (Alex) said that there was a long box printed of them. If so, then perhaps only 300 copies. That figure comes from a Valiant employee; make of that what you will.
