    Agreed. Corps has SLIGHTLY less focus on massive events, but adds a lot more emphasis on how the characters interact with each other.

    Just had a package go from "en route" to "Dead Mail / Sent to Mail Recovery Center". With the bajillions of packages ordered from Hastings, I'm surprised it took this long for a shipment to go sideways.

    Just weird. And sad. But mostly weird. Out of my 15 or so in-stock wishlist books, exactly one qualified. HOPEFULLY this is a fluke and a bug and not the new standard.

    Interesting idea. Since they aren't a big warehouse store, even if they DID have a Black Friday sale, how many employees are going to be pulling inventory for online sales vs employees actively dealing with brick-and-mortar customers? Personally, I'd except a huge spike in "cancelled" that...

    Received a HC in a poly, but magically it survived. My luck with polybags is purely based on how many hops the journey has. Oklahoma or Arizona? Fine. New Mexico or Washington? On some seriously shakey ground. Unfortunately, when I went to put the book on the shelf, it gave me a really...

    That was the exact path I took. I was able to get most of the events for DC, but Brightest Day took weirdly long. The slippery slope is when you start picking up some of the lead-in books, and then you start wondering if "New 52" counts as an event and you need to get all of them... One day...

    Should be able to use it multiple times. You can either make two separate orders of 3, or you can make one order with 6 items in it. The only catch with the latter is that it will mark the two cheapest games as "1 dollar", but it may be a better deal if you order the 3 most expensive and then...

    Don't worry guys, I just gave in and put in an order for a few books. That usually means an awesome new deal should come out later today. There may be some truth to a Columbus day sale. It accepts the coupon "columbus", but so far it doesn't do any price adjustments to things in your cart.

    So far my self imposed exile from ordering things from Hastings is going great. I was worried I would keep checking my wish list and give in, but its been about four days since I last ordered something. I am really proud of myself and my will power.

    The good: After nearly a year (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=303198&page=22), I completed the challenge and finally snagged the last books I needed to complete out some series (Brightest Day 3, Brightest Day GL). I was terrified when I saw the bubble mailer show up with a...

    I did another quick scan of their inventory, and while doing so I wrote a handy guide that can help you identify if a book is eligible for for 3 for 21 deal. 1) Is the book in stock? Then no.

    Well played, Hastings, well played. I woke up this morning and saw two Absolute Sandman in stock. They tend to be rare and go quick, and figuring we were still five days away from a new sale, I went ahead and ordered. And now 3 for 21. I am just going to keep muttering to myself "they...

    It only had one average size trade in it, but they could have probably squeezed in another. The amount of POTENTIAL it contained, however, was boundless.

    I forgot to mention the unicorn horn. http://imgh.us/HastingsBox.jpg Looks to be out of the Hastings in Amarillo, TX, 79102. Honestly, if the alternative is poly bags, I would GLADLY pay 30 cents per book to cover materials for boxes. And making it optional would let them advertise low rates...

    Super weird. I got in a copy of Men of War today, and it was in a very weird container. It was made out of this thick paper, but much much sturdier, and it was kind of boxy in shape. The "box" appeared to take a bit of a beating, but despite that, the book inside was in perfect shape. I am...

    I knew there were a reason those went out of stock so quickly! The idea of a Labor Day Sale was just a ruse to trick us into leaving things in our wish lists too long, only for you to swipe them up! KODAAAAAAVE! Actually, I just got in a shipment of Batman, Red Lanterns, and Green Lantern...

    Everyone is complaining about packages getting delivered to the wrong house, but do you guys know how hard it is to deliver stuff? I once had to deliver something to Mary St. in Boise. Do you know how long it took me to find a Saint Mary? Months! Ended up being somewhere in Italy, no where...
