Unboxing my second Image blind box !

in #comics7 years ago (edited)

After my disappointing unboxing of my first blind box I decided to open my second. Below you can find my first unboxing (including shaming Image)

https://steemit.com/comics/@sbrys/image-25th-anniversary-blind-box-unboxing-2017719t21154558z

Main reason I got these boxes is to get a Here's Negan that is included every one of 4 boxes. And again a spoiler it was not in :(

The box was better than last time but still nothing spectacular.

Last 3 books were Rednecks and I was quite happy about that

Most of my books were black and white variants. In essence its good because they are rares but to me it proves again the distribution of the books over the different boxes was not well executed. I have seen tons of unboxing videos confirming this.

Apart from the Redneck got 2 more blanks : Extremity & The Old Guard. Also not bad

Finally some standard books I dont care too much about. But ok its normal you get a bunch of those :)

To conclude :

This box was already much better than my first but still very disappointing. In my opinion there should be at least one special comic in every box. With special I mean :

  • 1 of 500 Here's Negan
  • 1 of around 1000 with original art
    Or even to a lesser extent
  • 1 of no idea on numbers virgin covers

That are a lot of books rarer than mine that I got out of 2 boxes (total supply 1992)

I have one more but will open it when I am in a better mood :)

Nice post i love comics i upvote follow hope you follow me back cheers 😊

wow ! very great comics post. I like comics.
thanks for sharing.
upvoted and followed

I can see how these can feel disappointing. Image Comics has such a variety in titles all unconnected so easy to not care or even possibly know of some titles. Blank variants are kind of cool to have.

I love that Jim Mahfood cover, going get a Grrl Scouts one day.

Thanks man. I knew it was a gamble and we cannot all win. But the more unboxing I see the more its proven they didnt put any effort in mixing the contents.

I will read all the different series maybe there is a winner for me in it :)

Another strange thing is that all the blanks have a line in the middle. Like from a packing machine. They all have this. Crazy no ?

Damn man, I only seen this box and the other box post you opened and haven't really checked how other people have been having the 'fairness' of their boxes, but having printing error books in there and the lack of mixture you talk about, it is really giving off the feeling Image did this to just get rid of excess books (variants), kind of makes me sad if this is the case, 25th anniversary should have gone off better for them.

I have seen boxes with 3 original sketches on the blanks or others with 3 Negans. For 250 euro per box I would expect something better...

Maybe the last box :) But ok 750 euro for 3 boxes didnt think this through very well :)

Its a good thing you love comics a lot,at least it will keep you occupied and help u out during boring times,i was once a lover of comics..haha..i enjoyed reading day and night then suddenly i lost interest wen i read a nigerian based comic series by mr biggs at the time that had a sad end...i really hope your next comic box will be better than this one and probably would have the extra comics you want to be included

Thanks man !

Actually you should try The Walking Dead ! Its my favourite comic series !

Am gonna try to check it out....tnx for the recommendation man👍

i love this post...tnx bro ..,,,,,
