    Easy pass for me, but they do need to make the cover art for the collection books into a print/poster.

    I like IDW & I collect the Hardcovers, but I'm really not understanding what market these cater to.

    I love my Transformers comics, especially the IDW collection. But $125 to $400 for a book that isn't 100 years old, is bonkers. That is not to say that I don't love and appreciate the work of these fine artists and writers.

    Normally I'm all over super limited edition stuff like this, especially when it's in such cool packaging as showcased here. The problem I have with it, though, isn't the price - it's my complete lack of interest in having a collection of IDW art where only 20% of it at best is actually any good.

    Those prices are crazy. That would $40,000 if they sell out. Good luck

    What's a mounted signature? Is that a printed one or a real one. Also is the 200 dollar price increase to black label because of the Hand drawn picture or is there more?

    Did I miss where it says that? Your post is the only mention, unless it's in the video, which I can't watch at work.
