Heavy rumors are starting to circulate that RDJ is being cast as Thrawn in John Favreau's/Filoni's Star Wars Mandalorian spin off. If that is true heir to the empire #1 is going to go even higher. Makes sense considering his personal relationship with Downey jr. I'm sure he would do great but I came across this image:

now I want nothing more than Benedict Cumberbatch to fill those shoes.

Based on eBay sales, it looks like the Hans variant is the cover price variant to own.

At my store the Hans "variant" was $20.

Cover A and B were $10, and the 1:10 was $12.

Since the Hans was not a ratio variant, the only way the store priced it up to $20 was to look at eBay. And this is not some mom-and-pop store, this is a large presence with nearly a dozen stores.

What ticks me off about this is that you had this in your pull list, and they didn’t put it in there. Instead, they told you to get it off the shelf and attempted to charge you above cover. 

I don’t like the practice of shops marking up new issues, but I’m not going to get the pitchforks out for it. 

The pitchforks come out when they try to screw over a customer with an existing pull list. Just shameful. Hope they enjoy the $20 they made as an existing customer takes their future $ elsewhere.

Maybe I will grab a couple.  I will just load up on the Sway variant.

Reading the previews and seeing the first appearances make it seem like one to own too - it's Yoda's squad, which are not in the regular Marvel series so far.

I made a post on IG to let the larger corp know of my disappointment.

Sad Larry from Mass @LarrysComics jumped in for no reason to comment and say my claims weren't credible b/c I sell comics. I guess he is the only one who can sell comics (not that this has anything to do with my pull list).

There are 3-4 story pages here. This combined with the full preview floating around makes me think we are underestimating this book. You don't release a full preview unless you've got something good.

I would have gladly paid those prices. We have three stores here in town (all in business 10+ years) and not one single copy hit the shelves at any of them (at any price). Not one.

Given that - clearly speaking, mind you - the IDW won't be selling as much as the Marvel issues, it should be very intriguing to see where this 1:10 ends up in the future lol
