ALL SOLD- Valiant Fans FCBD VARIANT - UPDATED 5-01-13

[IanAlexavier]

I will take 10 from you

[drmirage]

Thanks!

70 books left.

[jmatt]

Right now we are only 40% of the way to getting this done and we only have until Sunday to finalize who's getting what.

This part has me nervous. Greg, can you send an email blast to all board members to alert them to this possibility? There could be a lot of members who only check in here every now and again that might be interested. Or is that against your board policy?

Jay! Thanks for the cleanup!

290/300 books have been spoken for. I am glad that I checked it at the right time after Jay. Or else I would have to waitlist someone or reduce a member's order.

Thanks everyone!

I would be happy to do a waitlist in case anyone backs out.. but I think everyone who reserved their books will get theirs.

Again, all 290/300 are spoken for. In case some of the books are damaged, we'll have to cut some of the larger orders so everyone gets NM or better copies.

We'll see how it goes in May.

Thanks for everyone who participated.

[caxiotis]

It's so exciting this is happening, super good job brother

[jenkinsMachine]

idk if its a dumb question why are you guys stocking up on FCBD comic?

[hawkeyeps]

That is a dumb question, where have you been?

This isn't just any FCBD book this is the VFans FCBD book and the cover is amazing.

Check around and you'll see a picture on one of the threads, there is only 3000 of these babies and they rock

It means a lot to us because some of us will actually meet up to distribute these things in our regions and meet fellow fans, how else does this happen?

It's a great gesture from Valiant and a credit to Greg and the Vfans board in general.

First VEI fan project ever, very special book indeed!

not to discredit anybody who made this or who supported it but your going to distribute these to people around your region?
seems like alot of trouble for a free book. and why are you paying for it if its free?

are you going to be charging those people you meet with a free book? i just dont get it.
and the image would be awesome if someone who was a dedicated fan made his own image and see if valiant would approve if you really wanted to make it special

[drmirage]

Not many will distribute this book. I believe most people who buy these will keep them in their collection.

The regular free comic book would have a print run of 100,000 copies while this Valiant Fans FCBD Variant is limited to 3,000 copies.
Its a free book if you get it from a retailer (the regular book), but as you can see, it does cost something to acquire these books.

If I am not mistaken, this will be the first ValiantFans FCBD to be made. It is a lot of trouble, but we are supporting Greg's site and to have a comic with a cover that promote this website.

However, I would not be surprised if these books will market for $3-$5 on the secondary market.

If you check out eBay listings of "Valiant FCBD" you will see last years Free Comic Book that have sales of $2.99 plus shipping.

Aren't these books free and why are people paying for them. Its FREE on Comixology right? But stores do pay for these books to distribute them.

thats alot more clearer anwser the other person that replied made it seem like they are going to be driving and or meeting up with people for this book.

but is the cover the only variation? it would be cool if you could add some info on the site i love this place.

Thanks.
