Peace, maka
They've listed another Buzz copy for $75. The following quote was taken from their eBay listing (July 25th).ME: Hello, How many of these do you have left? I'm waiting to see if I can get one through the Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard before buying one here. Thank you
THEM: I have about 6 left. IDW just told us that they will replace the damaged copies. If you're not in a rush, we should have them some time in August. We'll have them at our normal $30 price once we confirm that they are not damaged like the original run.
ME: If they are still going to be the virgin cover then I'll wait. Thank you.
THEM: Yes, they will be the virgin cover.
I hope they honor the $30 quote on the replacements, but I'd understand if they didn't.This is a brand new, unread IDW Usagi Yojimbo #1 Legends Comics and Games variant, with cover art by Aldrin "Buzz" Aw. The majority of the books came in severely damaged. Official print run of VF or better copies is 144. Only 50 copies are being replaced, making this one of the scarcest variant books. This one is in NM- condition.
That's a bummer.
