USA Valiant Lending Library Story - 7,072 miles travelled

Okay, I received the Lending Library a few days ago and I have read the first 3 volumes of XO Manowar so far. I absolutely LOVED it! I can't wait to read the rest of the volumes and then send it off to it's next lucky reader!

As much as I am enjoying these new stories, I'll probably be done by Saturday!

THANK YOU!

Hey, I live in Dunedin, FL.

I just joined the boards, so this is the first I've heard of this. What a great idea.

(I'm not angling to get the library next, I just saw my hometown at the top of the boards and wanted to say this is an awesome concept.)

If anyone has info that can help us, please send me a PM.

Thanks!

If you don't hear back from him I would be happy to donate some money to replace some of them.

Yeah, I hope he's okay! One time back in 2005 I went to the hospital, and several ebay buyers had bought from me off ebay, then got their money back and gave me negative feedback. Maybe it's something like that. I hope he's all right.

Yeah, I hope he's okay! One time back in 2005 I went to the hospital, did not have the chance to turn off the ebay store I had at the time, and several ebay buyers bought from me off ebay while I was in the hospital, then got their money back and gave me negative feedback after I never responded. Maybe it's something like that. I hope he's all right.

Elery, if you don't find the books, I will donate some to help build a new library.

Make it 2. It's a shame.
Let's hope it gets solved.

Hi guys! Thanks for all everyone's generosity. I didn't even realize that its been almost months since we've heard of the libarary.

My last contact with "Malev Emperor" was in Jan 20th. I sent a PM and asked how the library was going and the response I received was...

Oh, it was amazing! I am finally done with it all and I loved every bit of it! This was truly awesome and I thank you. Just tell me where to send it next and it'll be off in a day or two!
--------------------------

There is no reason for Malev Emperor to be dishonest He's been a board member for over 6 years with over 100+ posts. Its just strange that we have not heard nor seen the library ever since.

We hope that he is ok.

That being said, for those who haven't heard of the VEI Lending Libary Project it was started by Bruce and myself back in June 2013. You can read about it here. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=40537" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The project was given the thumbs up by Dinesh and was signed off during the Q&W Release Party at Collector's Paradise on July 13th 2013.

The library has traveled across the nation and was a way that we can introduce those who want to try out the newly relaunched Valiant Universe.

The X-O Manowar #1 Trade was signed by Dinesh, Atom, Fred, Hunter and Alejandro.

Each lender signed the back of the books as well.

HEY! I've got a Canadian set gathering dust, I even posted "crickets" and got no replies!

I'll send the Canada set to Marco for the Europe set he was supposed to get but never did.

What he said. Judging from Malev Emperor's posts, he seems like a pretty solid dude. Probably just life getting in the way as it sometimes does. Hoping he's ok.

Thats what we would like to hope for. Perhaps we will find an answer soon.

Wanted to post an update. I sent a PM to Malev_Emperor April 1st.

I finally got a response on April 20th "I will have a tracking # for you on Saturday! Sorry for the enormous delay!"

(I'm relived to get this PM that Malev_Emperor is alive and ok)

However, we still hasn't received the trades nor have I received the tracking #'s today.

Malev_Emperor has had these books for 3 months.
