Bloody nass....was planning on at last buying Legion Archives No 8.....last month it was about £300.... an awful lot a lot of money for a book that I was buying for its cover and the foreword.

and in less than a month....

http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=legion+of+superheroes+archives+8&rh=n%3A266239%2Ck%3Alegion+of+superheroes+archives+8

That's pushed that way outside my price range....it would be cheaper to buy the comics in back issues (all of which I have) a lot of money to spend on the cover and the foreword. Mind Bender Lad will be doing without.

Those aren't going to sell. They'll sit there either until the price drops to something overpriced-but-at-least-vaguely-resembling-sanity, or a reprint gets announced and they're forced to drop it to something close to retail. £1400 is just not going to happen.

Incidentally, weirdness nosing around Amazon's various international sites. Nearfine's listing for it on Amazon.ca:

My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Why does 8 cost so much more than the other volumes?

Pretty expensive on Amazon.de as well, from a used copy for 424 € up to a new one for 719 € .... and the one for nearly 1200 € is offerend as well... makes you wonder...

... if I should just drive home and cherish my copy smile

On Amazon and checking out purchasing some of the Legion Archives and wondering what the story is with #8? The various editions run as low as $20 and some into the $40's and $50's but then #8 is $350. I figure there's gotta be a story there. Anyone know?
