15 Usagi Yojimbo 100 comics gets a poster.....

[cynlee]

I imagine that some enterprising person out there will post it on eBay, given the chance... some comic book store owner, for example, or someone who isn't a fan. Look how some people were able to get so many of the TMNT movie "posters" that were limited at San Diego Comic Con-- I never saw so many complete sets (and a few by the same person!) on eBay.

I may have about a dozen posters available (free to Dojo members) at San Diego. A lot would depend upon how many posters DH will have left after this promotion.

I just talked with my comic shop owner and he said there is no mention of this in Diamonds catalog as an incentive for him to order 15 copies. Anybody have any ideas why this wouldn't show up so store's know about it?

Stan, is it something that just happens automatically and Diamond Distributors isn't aware of what Darkhorse has planned for the 100th issue? I'm still trying to convince my shop owner to order the 15 copies and I will pay his cost since there is no way I will make it to SDCC. Thanks!

I don't know how DH is handling the promotions of the posters.

All I know is that I am to expect them next week for signing, and I'll have two weeks to freight them back to DH.

My LCS owner and I went through the same thing. The offer was JUST made available through Dialmod, so it isn't in Previews or any printed literature they've recieved. Tell him to try the Diamond website.

Dear Readers,
I found out about the poster via the power of the YU Dojo.
My fncbs was unaware of the promotion.
The poster is not in the Diamond catalog.
My retailer says Diamond normally has a number for each promo (even the free ones...) but there is no number for this poster.
What kind of promotion is effective if very few people know about it?
Silverlining, this may mean more posters for Sensei Sakai to bring to SDCC.
Best wishes to all!

Thanks for the info everyone! I will make sure I talk with my store owner today and try to get him to order me enough copies!

[Mayhem]

I foresee an early trip to Stan's booth at Comicon next year then

If anyone does grab one this month, stick a pic up to show us!

I think the idea is that Diamond will make a big announcement about it as the release date comes nearer, encouraging shops to increase their orders as the buzz about issue #100 gets bigger.

Wow...that would be sweet to get my hands on...15 copies you say?

But Diamond should do it really soon, then; most shops here in Europe must have their orders ready and in the tube up to two month in advance...
My shop filled me in that they order at the end of November for the January issues! And the only way they learned about the poster was a sneaky Usagi fan surfing the WWW.....

Ok, I admit it: I told them .... it's no coincidence that I chose Toady as my Avatar!!
