Sunday and Monday, September 6 & 7, 2015 – 11am-6pm

Fantasy Books and Games, 2247 1st St, Livermore

1-925-449-5233

Surprise! We’re having a sale this weekend! I KNOW! Whooda thunk? Unlike every other Labor Day for the last decade or 3, this Sunday and Monday we’ll be open, and I mean exploded-onto-the-sidewalk open, from 11-6 both days. We’re serious about cleaning out the store and warehouse and are going to go the whole 9 yards (anyone know what happened to the 10th yard?) to make this a Win-Win-Win-…(repeat for everyone who shows up) situation. Read on for more details, deals, and disclaimers.

We’ll spend the next few days digging through the warehouse and bringing stuff over to hide in the Tardis in the back of the store until Sunday morning, when we’ll set up 9 tables on the sidewalk and fill them up with oodles of toys, action figures, Anime DVD’s and even VHS tapes!

These pictures are from past sales, and you won’t necessarily see the exact same items this weekend, BUT, even better, there will be a boat-load of stuff that has never “seen the sidewalk” or the light of day for a long time or whatever metaphor you want to use! Be here at 11am Sunday and clean us out!

Well, I got back late Monday night, back to work Tuesday morning, and forgot to do this until I came in today!

Kudos to GoCollect.com for making this list each week so we can borrow it. Click here to see the original.

New #’1’s this week:

Plutona, Journey Star Wars Fase, Deadpool Vs Thanos, Dark Tower…, Figment 2, Miracleman by…, Mockingbird Shiled 50th Anniv, Third Witch, Aliens Vampirella, JImbo Jones (did I list that last week?), and maybe a few more. And then there’s these…

And THEN , and tons of others!

And 12 more covers …

(We don’t always order every single one, but if it’s a DC,  Marvel,or Image [and most of the rest], we probably did. But, we may have only 1 or 2 of some of some, so we could easily sell out. If you are driving in from far away, call first.)

I’ve noticed the information we, ahem, borrow is not always accurate and sometimes predicts an arrival early or late.  And  sometimes GoCollect.com chooses one of  several variants to show and we may or may not get the one they show, or it may be higher than cover price.

Second week in a row before midnight! The following is a small selection of what may be on the shelves when you come in Wednesday to get your comics!

Thanks to GoCollect.com for putting this list together each week so we can swipe it. Click here to see their  list.

For some reason, I couldn’t narrow it down to just 8 cool covers this week!

New #’1’s: Batman Arkham Knight Genesis, Dark Corridor, Adam 3 (#1), This Damned Band, JLA Gods & Monsters Wonder Woman, Artemis IX, Welcome Back, Johns Flood, Red Sonja/Conan, and probably more a few I missed.

I’ve noticed the information we borrow is not always correct and sometimes predicts an occasional arrival a early or late.  And GoCollect.com chooses one of who knows how many variants to show and the one they show we may or may not get, or it may be higher than cover price.

New Releases on July 29, 2015

Look at me doing this well before midnight. At least in California! The following is a small sample of what may (we hope) be sitting on the shelves when you come in Wednesday to say HI and get a little colorful reading material!

Thanks again to GoCollect.com for putting together a list each week so we can swipe it. Click here to see their  list.

New #’1’s:Deathstroke Annual, Lobo Annual, Batman Arkham Knight Genesie, Gotham by Midnight Annual, JLA God and Monsters Superman, Shrinking Man, and a few more. Do annuals really count as a new #1 as I have defined them? Then there is Age of Ultron vs Marvel Zombies, Age of Apocalypse, 1602 starring Angela, Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars, Dearedevil Guardians Team-Up, Howard the Duck, Low, Outcst, Lady M, Dr Who 11th Doctor, and Simpsons. And a lot more.

(We don’t always order everything, but if it’s a Marvel,DC, or Image [and most of the others], we probably did. But, we may have only ordered 1 or 2 of some of the titles, so we could sell out. If you are driving in far, you should call first.)

I’ve noticed the information we borrow is not always correct and sometimes predicts an occasional arrival a early or misses one. Also, I don’t have all variants memorized and it occurs to me that GoCollect.com chooses one of who knows how many variants to show and the one they show we may or may not get, or it may be higher than cover price. So be it.

And another disclaimer is needed: alternate cover comics shown on this page MAY be subject to price and availability anomalies without notice.

Crap! Late again, but better than the last 2 weeks. Still in Minnesota. So this stuff came out earlier today.   I’ll get better!

Thanks again to GoCollect.com for putting together a list each week so we can borrow it. Click here to see their  list.

New #’1’s: BlackList, Valiant Book of Death, Cyborg, JLA Gods and Monsters, Power Up, and Swords of Sorrow – Red Sonja and Jungle Girl. Plus Star Wars Lando #2, Kanan Last Padawan #4,  Big Trouble, Fight Club, Elfquest, Civil War, A-Force, E is for Extinction, We Are Robin, and Dr Who 9th and 12th.

(We don’t always order everything, but if it’s a DC, Marvel, or Image [and the great majority of the others], we probably do. But, we may only order 1 or 2 of some of the titles, so we could sell out. If you are driving in far, you might want to call first.)

I’ve noticed our information source is not always perfect and sometimes predicts an occasional arrival a little early or misses another one. Also, I don’t have all variants memorized and it occurs to me that GoCollect.com chooses one of who knows how many variants to show and the one they show we may or may not get, or it may be $10 or more. So there.

Whoops! I did it again! No, this is not Britney, this is Ralph the Tuesday Guy in Minnesota and I did it again. Too much birthday cake and soccer with the nieces. Sorry.  So this stuff came out yesterday.   I’ll try really hard to remember this on time next week!

Thanks to GoCollect.com for putting together a list each week so we can borrow it. Click here to see their  list.

New #’1’s: Captain Britain and Mighty Defenders, Death Head, and that’s about it! But there are are over a dozen #2’s. You could say this is wonder Woman Week. I like this batch of DC covers so I’m going to stop adding more. And a lot more. I’m sure there are still plenty of them left by now!
