1xrun did good.

Being a cynical asshole, my next question would be whether those orders are to be refunded or still going to be printed, shipped, and profited from. If it's the latter, then I vote "additional actions." :lol:

Nah it did sell out lol it actually sold out after all of you posted so it’s all if your fault.

Want to get back at him? Keep supporting Matt whether it’s sharing all of his work or buying his prints. ❤️

No prob never again. We are just going to allocate that money to probably a one night event at our space.

We were going to combine forces for a big island with our toy partner but they aren’t coming either so whatever. It was fun for all of those years but the 2 years prior to Covid, our spot wasn’t the best and due to the demand and no one really answering us, we were sort of stuck there and continue paying for that spot or we couldn’t go.

For many years, we were surrounded by those mystery boxes which killeddd it. Then after 4 years, ppl realized that it was complete fudge. So that traffic we would get stopped and then we were surrounded by booths that were more promotional booths and not selling anything (bringing no traffic to the area).

And as much as I love you guys and this market, outside this market, we aren’t big like mondo lol so after the first 3-4 hours, it kind of stops and that traffic helped.

As a local, I look forward to when your doors open, I’m far more likely to attend a small event like that than the odd mishmash conglomerate of a “Comic” Con.
