Frankie's had this as well as a Duarte 1:25 variant which looks to have sold out. Was available about an hour before the homage went on sale. | ||

I'm not a huge fan of the virgin covers unless their art is unique, like metal #3 was. I like the trade dress/label and issue number at the top instead of a large void of just background. I'm usually very happy with paying 1/4 the price for basically the same cover. |

Thanks for the heads up,@Drogio. Stupid question, any difference between those and the ones here in the states? | ||

No. I believe Sad Lemon and 7ate9 Comics are affiliated with Frankies Comics in the US. I did a quick calc...Sad Lemon still has the virgin/trade set available...it looks to be $80 USD shipped. Which I believe is not even $10 more than it costs in the US. But double check that. Or you can wait until the next flash variant sale by @Poka and get it half priced (Mwahhahahaaaa). Also, Sad Lemon looks to be offering the set signed by Crain. Came out to $113 shipped...again, only $25 than unsigned...helluva deal. If I'm going to pay $80, I might as well pay $115. I don't see that being offered at Comic Mint or Frankies here in the US. Is Crain British and they have better access to him? Checking 7ate9comics now...will report back. Here's the link to Sad Lemon. Sad Lemon Weapon H Homage Variants |

Okay, I admit it. I broke down and got 5 of the trade dress. I HAVE to stop buying moderns. But that is a sweet cover, althou8gh Hulks waist doesn't seem right. |

Quote:Originally Posted by conditionfreak It's not hulk...it's weapon H! Something must have happened in the mashup process to mess up his waist. But I hear ya...can't do the Virgins (yes that should be an out of context quote), and I agree with @kaptainmyke it's yet another homage option out of many many variants to choose from. I think there are other homage variant covers for this issue whose cover art hasn't been released (hoping there's a Wolverine 340 homage). But I like this one, and not the others so far...so if I'm going to get one copy amongst all the variants, I'm liking this one. |

I like the variants, but another cover swipe? C'mon, they could have done better. Alos the original Mattina cover of BWL is very good, This one, hmm...I like the look, but why a backgorund character? *shrugs* Probably a requirement for the art. Looks nice.....not so sure about the price though. If compariing to other exclusives.....I'd say they are trying to get more out of the fan than they need to. IMO. |

Just got back home. I see I'm not the only one that had problems. Here's part of the email I sent them... "Note the time on my order. Here is my question. I added the Virgin CGC SS remarked by Clayton Crain 249.95 to my cart. IT WAS IN THERE. By the time I added my new credit card information, it disappeared! What the hell??? I hope when I get my order below it’s a 9.8! That sucks!" It was 3 minutes past the hour. I ended up getting the WEAPON H #1 CLAYTON CRAIN HULK 181 HOMAGE LIMITED VARIANT VIRGIN SIGNED CGC 9.6 OR BETTER 199.95. It just pissed me off because it was in my cart... and then it wasn't. I'll post their reply when I get it. Hopefully tomorrow. |

I've noticed in past offerings they've had that I've been able to add things to my cart a few minutes before they go on sale...I'm not sure if they just open it up early or if there's a glitch in their program. But I wonder if that's how items sell out so fast. Next time one of these comes up, and they been almost every weekend lately, I'll see if it's still happening. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by OGJackster Here is the response I got. Unfortunately the cart doesn’t save things in the way most online stores would. I think your safest bet is to complete your purchase for a popular item as fast as possible, You can always e-mail me in order to combine orders later on. I wish you better luck next time! IMO, that's not good enough. |
