Totally worth the gamble IMHO. Every Junkie should get one.

Sounds like a good deal with a lot of upside potential

Sounds like a nice set up.
Not a fan of poly bags but understand why in this case.

If your intent is to flip these, I would sell immediately. The last two boxes that they have released have not maintained initial values.
Also, they have released two of these, so there may be less interest now.

thanks for the heads up OP, I will be looking to pick up one or two - would love to get one of the 500 Negan origin books

As an aside, that article couldn't have been more poorly written - I had to stop a few times to try and understand what the author was trying to say and even then it was a guess at best

Here is the article on Image's website. https://imagecomics.com/content/view...ores-this-july

Looks like you have to order it through diamond

Just pre-ordered mine via Unknown Comics and then saw that ComicXposure is offering them up with a 15% off discount code “BOX”.
(thx to Anthony over at CHU for that info!)

Too late for me, but those that have not ordered yet can run with it.

Dang is this ever so tempting. I so want that Negan. It says on the Comic exposure website that allocations are possible. Am I crazy in thinking there's no way that they won't? You have about a 1 in 4 chance at getting your only chance at Negans origin story in comic form. I think that book alone will be $$$$ I'm not sure about the other stuff, but boy will that be sought after.

I went to pre order a couple through Unknown after IndyKMB mentioned getting it there but they were sold out.

Too many red flags for me to order through ComicXposure.

- horrible reputation
- not filling orders
- no communication or responses to inquiries
- it says allocations are possible
- launch date is likely after credit card fraud filing is possible to claim
- the fact that they are discounting this product when it is a sure sell out

I hate to say it but if you roll the dice and pre order through them your best case is they get you for an interest free loan as I find it really hard to believe they fill these discounted orders

Just my 2 cents and good luck to any who try them

I'm just as likely to bash CE as the next guy, but:

1. "Allocations are possible" will most likely be stated for all pre-order opportunities, I'd imagine. It certainly stated that via Unknown Comics as well.
2. Launch Date issue (re: fraud) would apply to any of these pre-orders this far out

Having said that, horrible rep, not filling orders, bad communication, that all definitely applies to that site.

The discount does seem almost too good to be true, especially when others are not offering them. Which makes me think if ANYONE would have allocation issues it might be that site.

I didn't see that these are limited to 1,992. Going through Diamond to retailers, these will easily sell out.

Anybody with a diamond account able to order these? I might have to stop by a local shop before it is to late. I am still a little confused by what is exactly going to be in these boxes.

Are the sketch covers ORIGINAL ART sketch covers or just sketch variants?

Good god that was a difficult article to read; felt like I lost some IQ points re-reading that horrendous article....

It looks like there is going to be some original art included from some of the picks posted.

Also tried unknown. Must have sold out quick after their email went out.
