Ted Mays of Gecko Books & Comics in Honolulu, Hawaii comments on the upcoming Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars: Battleworld Box Set Slipcase (see "Giant 'Secret Wars' Slipcase Set").
When I read that Marvel expects "retailers" to make money from the Secret Wars Box Set, I have to laugh. I won't be ordering it, because I know Amazon will be selling it for cost, or less. Will any other retailers? Did any brick & mortar out there actually buy that last monstrosity? And did you sell any?
