Chillax23 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Seems there has been a recent spike in asking prices on ebay for cgc 9.8 copies???? Just wondering why - I am wanting to pick up a copy in the $170 range but perhaps that ship has sailed (although 2-3 weeks ago that was the ask)? Has there been some announcement or something?

Chillax23 Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Ok - I thought there had been a Lobo movie announcement for awhile (hence the price run up to $170 in 9.8) - but I guess Michael Bay adds “value”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO Michael Bay’s involvement lowers value and crushes all hope that the movie will be even remotely watchable. Sorry Lobo fans.

This happens every time there are announcements for any movie. Also, it's been selling over $170 since 2014. Since 2015 there has been a high over $200 every year.

the blob Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I keep on hoping he shows up on Supergirl as he was hinted at and now they have LOS appearing, but they aren't going to blow it on a tv show. Have to wonder how much nostalgia he brings. He was big for 4-5 years and then fell off. Sure, those were years when a lot of people were reading comics. But they are in their 30s-50s now. My son is actually getting into tbe DCU (he likes earth 2 a lot) and he had no idea who lobo was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the blob Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Problem is, he'd need a lot of cgi to look like the popular lobo version, not the skinny omega man or LOS vetsion (or lame recent version) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aweandlorder Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I have total faith in the character and the movie. And as much as I hate Michael Bay movies, thats really all this character needs. I would be worried for Lobo fans if it was Snyder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aweandlorder Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 And technically this post should really be in the Bronze section, as much as I too identify with Lobo during copper. But still, for a book that has his 1st appearance on the cover with a red background, it should be in Bronze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Lobo fans. So what you're saying is that you don't want a movie directed by a guy whose movies routinely make hundreds of millions of dollars. I'm no Bay fan but based on his track record a Lobo movie by him will likely be a smashing success. And you don't make that much money if your movies are unwatchable. They may not be your cup of tea (they aren't mine either) but you can't deny their success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if you love Lobo like I do, you'd pretty much just enjoy watching him bash aliens skulls for 2 hours and making out with a bird or 2 even if there was no story at all.. Oh and in 3-D nonetheless! sign me up, Em-Bay or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may not be your cup of tea (they aren't mine either) but you can't deny their success It’s impossible to quantify but I’m more inclined to believe that Michael Bay lost the transformers and TMNT franchises hundreds of millions of potential dollars. The guy took two slam dunk franchises and whiffed. Sure there’s lots of explosions and cool slo-mo special effects, but disjointed storytelling, characters you cant connect with, and plot holes galore, make these movies failures to me. What commercial success they had was despite him, not because of him. Edited February 11, 2018 by szavisca ygogolak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This prestige format type book is the sort of book that ushered in copper. 1983 is very much on the fence even if opg moved bronze into 1983 to justify higher prices on those "bronze" books. Frigging dollar cover price! Chillax23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of agree with you on this point (and your other post). Lobo doesn’t need to be “deep”. It doesn’t need to be a character study. Just need to see him wreck shop for two hours. Bay is good at two things. Explosions and over-the-top action. He might be a perfect fit for Lobo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobo needs to be a little funny though. Not deadpool endless wisecracks, but the character took off when there was a little sick humor. Dunno if the masogonist stuff will fly right now. Gotta be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valiantman Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Serious question... Isn't Lobo just the DC version of Gene Simmons' Demon which would have been popular as KISS got huge in the late 1970s and early 1980s? Not serious question... If so, can't they just cast Gene Simmons in the role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
