Got word from a guy down at the VA Con (who I got my gold and red variants from) that they’ll be throwing up any books that didn’t go at the Con on Ebay. Reds will be $50, Golds will be $250…I’ve already seen a few on there, so good luck to those who are still looking for them.
Thanks Zack. There are a bunch of them already on eBay as of this weekend.
Looks like Hot Topic took down the pre-order for the issue #2 variant. They must not be getting many of these made…
I’m sure they’ll come back at some point. HT TMNT variants have historically been very “on and off” from their site. But they sure seem to get the MLP variants listed ASAP…
Really, what’s with that? Is MLP honestly that big? Ah well…
MLP is huge…it’s the Bronies. Weird.
if anyone else ordered the awesome con variants, check your mail. i got my 2 copies in today! foil variants aside, i have ’em all!!!
Yep. Got mine on Friday. Thx.
Ya as soon as I saw the comment that the Hot Topic one was available I called all the stores around and managed to get 2. Kept one sold the other on Ebay. Some had them some didn’t…..WEIRD.
Brett’s ebay account has posted both foil variants for sale of the Matt Slay copies…very high price for a 1000 count book might I add (IMO). Hopefully they will become more reasonable in the next few weeks. The gold one is up for auction…if you dare. 🙂
I picked up the gold with a buy it now of 100
hot topic now has the variant for issue #2 up for pre-order
Thank you much. Just got the first one in stores yesterday and it was buy two get one free!
Did you buy 3 Jeremy? The HTs in my don’t seem to be carrying them.
Bought two…got three
I’ve gotten zero…because they haven’t carried it at all. I’d purchase one from you if you would be so inclined.
I guess i could do that. The issue is $5.50 plus whatever shipping is. Hot topic places them in shrink wrap…I tried to pick the best out of the six they had. Message me on the Technodrome Forums “TheWarrior97”
Will do – getting my handle on there now.
Hi there – I did look you up and message you on Technodrome – stush oslo is my handle on there.
sweet. no problem, brother. i guess the store i went to didn’t do the 3for2 deal. i might just call, tell ’em i have the receipt, and see if i can get it. who knows???
Just got me a gold foil va con variant on eBay now just need the red foil.
Nice! I saw those listed this morning.
Another 5 (BIN) have been re-listed now for $199.95 (was originally $99.95). Sounds greedy to me 🙁
Paid $99 for mine. But it’s a book I just had to have
Supply and demand I suppose.
Just got my gold foil in today. Now just need a red then it’s off to get slabbed
Nice! Looking forward to getting mine soon.
[…] week but it’s been in such high demand that it will be reprinted. The 2nd printing of TMNT/Ghostbusters #1 will be out December 03, 2014. Check out the front and back covers along with the inside front […]
Did anyone get the Awesome Con one yet…they say sold out…but I doubt that’s possible.
They just posted that in the last day or so. I’m guessing they are just not ready to sell them yet. I never saw them for sale…just a Sold Out link.
i actually emailed them and got a response yesterday, the 23rd. i was told they are waiting for the comics to arrive, and that sometimes the exclusives they get take a week or so after the initial release has hit stores. i’m still waiting on the hot topic variant to become available. i called them and was basically told the same thing.
you may want to report that the hot topic variant is finally available in-store!
I don’t see them available online … you mean literally in the store?
yes, physically in the store. i kept calling and calling ’em and they said they hadn’t yet received any copies. i called a couple days ago and they had ’em.
I went to my local Hot Topic just yesterday and all they had was MLP books…no Turtles. 🙁
call, call, call. i called every few days, but they hadn’t yet gotten any copies in. as soon as they did, i headed to the closest store and bought it. call a store and there’s the possibility they could mail it to you from the store.
Finally the HT near me had these in stock today. They had a total of 7 copies but 3 were bent to heck and 2 had tears in the back cover. I was able to find one that’s acceptable but I seriously hate how they shrinkwrap these so tightly.
they’re available now!!!
sorry. meant to say that the awesome con variants are finally up for sale!
Says I need a voucher code to pre-order from Heroes’ Haven… Any idea on what that is?
Jeremy, nice find on the free shipping. Corey, you don’t need a voucher code…just add however many you want to your cart, go to checkout, and then below the “voucher code” area is the “Proceed to Checkout” button. Click that and you’ll be on your way. 🙂

code word “earlybird” for free shipping
Are all of the variants going to be available on each site listed?
Yes, that’s why Rich includes links to the online stores in the posts.
Garry, they will be available soon. Typically, you can expect them to be available within 2 weeks after the release. I know that Hot Topic typically is the last to make theirs available.
Ok sounds good. I was just double checking. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.
Are all of those variants going to be available on each site listed?
[…] Comicon TMNT Exclusives will be for the TMNT/Ghostbusters #1 issue. These VA Comicon TMNT Exclusives will come in two versions; Red Foil and Gold Foil. […]
Nice! I don’t even like Ghost busters but I’ll be getting this just for the turtles. Looking forward to this miniseries.
