1150? Does ebay not allow you to post many responses or something on the boards? I've never really used them before!
snipeing #'s is a thing many regular posters do, we try to land on certain #'s...mine are ususally 13, 458, 666, and any turning point, such as 100, 1000, etc...posts ending in 50 are commonly jumped on, such as 1150, so without knowing it, you sniped your first snipe!
Why is stuff released in Europe first?
Gemstone only has the rights to re-print European stories, they aren't allowed to publish any new stuff, don't really know why, it's one of those weird laws that Disney Corp has. They are very strict with what can get reprinted too, so if a story doesn't fall under their guidelines we will NEVER seen it in America at all...like "The Black Knight Glorps Again", who knows what's wrong with it, but Disney found something wrong with it, so they haven't allowed it in America yet. Often the stories get changed, art deleted, scripts rewritten, before they can e printed in America, so by the time they get printed in English they may not even be the same story that was originally printed in Europe!
Can't we still order it from overseas anyway?
you can get the stuff overseas, yep, that's what I do, problem is I can only read English so, I'm stuck with just looking at the art and guessing what is going on until the American release comes out. I usualy try to get the french editions because living in a French comunity, I can usually get the stories translated into English. Most stuff starts out in Finland/Denmark than gets reprinted in France/Greece/Germany/Italy a year or 2 later, than gets reprinted everywhere else after that. Italy also produces their own stories (the comics in Italy and Germany are weeklies, 52 issues a year).
Are you in contact with Rosa a lot?
not as often as I'd like too, and prob'ly a lot more than he wishes I did:^O
