All the Shinders said that they don't get them in until next Wednesday. ;-(

That's a cool idea on that archie comic. Too bad they won't have many on hand. Did it sound like they'd have a decent supply at shinders?

Otherwise I could check the bookstore on the corner of University and Snelling..

Sounds like it'll be a good thing to read before the hunt, kinda get ya in the mood. Hopefully the writer did his research well.

It sounded like Shinders will only have 3 per store! If anyone finds them, buy them up. You know that we'll all want a copy.

Ok, so turns out this is gonna be pretty tough, someone went to every single shinders in the twin cities and bought them out! I'm on a mission!

I'm moving back to minneapolis this winter and should arrive a little near the end of January I' m looking forwaard to seeing all of you again!!!

You'd think they wouldn't be that hard to get a hold of though. I mean, it's a published thing, you'd think they'd make as many copies of it as the public would demand....

btw is shinder's the only place in town worth looking? What about bookstores? Barnes and Noble? Borders?

Somewhere there has to be a good source on them.

Well if anyone finds one and there are any others, get me two! I saw that article today and thought what a nice thing it would be to send that to my son to read while in Guatemala missing this year's hunt.

Rush!!!! Glad to see you're moving back to the coolest place with the coolest celebration!!!

Me2 - Happy Belated Birthday!!

Some people are just sick

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2210285658&category=3980

there's one on ebay going for 25 bucks. Out of print? I think not! They just released it recently. I don't doubt for a minute there isn't a good source for these.

Edit:

Retail for this comic is $2.19, you shouldn't have to pay more than that for it. Although, it sounds like I have a new hunt on my hands ;) I'm going to check out borders tomorrow

It'd be sweet revenge to buy a few and post them on ebay at regular price. Shoot, I'd donate a few bucks to cover a couple auctions just to sell some at regular (if not cheaper) pricess and make that guy look bad. As if he didn't already anyways.

I might try and check out Source comics as well. Plus there's a little comics shop near my place, doesn't seem too big, maybe they'll have it. I mean for cryin out loud, it's just a comic book, shouldn't be that hard.

And the people that buy them all up to make money off the people that wanted them are jerks and lowlifes. Of course, that's just my personal opinion.

BTW, did you see how much our ebay extortionist friend is charging for shipping and handling? 11 bucks! I can't believe someone actually bidded on that. That means to get a 2 dollar comic, you're spending 31 bucks to get it. Talk about insane!

Yeah, it would be nice to have, but I wouldn't spend more than $10 total.

Like I tell my kids, "We're not rich ya know!".

The store by me only had 2 and someone bought them already (Ian! If it was you I'm kickin' your ass!)I'm gonna try to order one online.

Wow, why are they going so fast anyway? That's just crazy. I still think there's gotta be a place that carries more than one or two.

Try Waldenbooks. Also on archiecomics.com they list some retailers that carry their stuff.

I found the #78 comic book on line!

If anyone else is interested the link for the site is https://www.mycomicshop.com/

I could only order 5 copies. Price for each is $2.19. I don't know if that's the limit or what. For those 5 copies, the shipping is $6 UPS. There are other shipping options with the post office as well. For a total of $16.95 for 5 of these puppies, I got a good deal!

Bummer! Maybe that's why it only let me get 5.

There must be somewhere else on the net to buy them. I know I found that place by doing a google search.

Isn't it exciting! No more rummaging around to stores looking for comic books!

The internet is a wonderful place to shop!

yeah, I was getting pissed every time I walked into a book store and they were out already, I feel sorry for the poor sap that bid $25 for the one on E-Bay.

RE: Archie

I got "The Source" to reserve me a copy. I told them in my e-mail that I knew a lot of people that would be interested if they could get more.

I was in there yesterday, and I noticed a comic book called "Johnny The Homicidal Maniac" so I bought it.

Hi everyone- I got the last 2 Borders had in the Midway.

I got 4 more on hold when they hit Brainerd on the 16th (hey thats tomorrow!) :)

Hey the site is back up finally.

I wanted to tell you guys I found the Archie comic we've all been seeking on Saturday evening, after some hard searching. I didn't bother with the online thing myself, actually found it at the Borders in Woodbury. I actually enjoyed the hunt for it, and I don't have to wait for it to come in the mail (in fact I've already read it).

So I'm curious, was I the first in the bunch to actually hold a copy of the ellusive comic? I drove all over the place to find it, so I was just wondering if anyone else had beaten me to it. Got mine at a bit after 6pm on Saturday the 13th.

Now, to preserve my copy as best as I can....
