[Groop] IDW Comicon Variant *Sold Out*

[Eric Chun]

IDW previously had a special John Romita Sr. Artist's Edition(with 2 signatures and a remarque) that was released atWondercon.  They set aside a limited number (100?) forpre-order, which included mail order if you couldn't makeit to the show.  The rest of the copies (150?) were sold atWondercon.
Unless I misunderestimate IDW's trend, the special GrooArtist's Edition is not sold out yet.  The rest of the copieswill be sold at Comic Con.
Because of the size and weight of the artist editions, there isa small chance that a corner(s) may be dented in the mail.(It's a catastrophe if your $150 book is dented!)  When the 1startist edition (Dave Stevens) was released, there werecomplaints of dents.  The packaging has improved since then.(They were always double boxed, but the outer box is largernow.)  Still, the outer box is not completely filled with packingpeanuts, and the inner box (and book) can move around.There might not even be -any- packing peanuts included, ifpurchased at the show.  I'd suggest completely filling the outerbox with packing peanuts before shipping, but carrying around2 giant bags of packing peanuts, 275 lbs of books/boxes in asuitcase, and a bagel dog across the crowded exhibit floor mightlook a little silly.  But, those bagel dogs really taste good ...

No, I won't be getting one of those. Hoping for some of Sergio's other, new stuff, though!
