My buddy owns a store and limits it to three a person, too. I don't think that's unreasonable. You have to bear in mind that the stores aren't getting the free comics for free themselves... they have to buy them. If stores didn't have the limit, they'd go broke.

Yes, Diamond makes you pay quite a bit to participate in the event, comics ain't free for the comic shops. I always make sure to make a purchase when getting the free comics, shop owners really appreciate that. Alot of people come out once a year for FCBD, get their free books, don't spend a penny and then wait until next May to show up again for more free stuff. My local comic shop has no limit on free issues when you make a purchase.Last edited by Janson; May 7, '11, 9:00 PM.Janson's Good Guy List:

Go there late due to attending a wrestling convention in the morning so I passed on what was left. However the store has having a 50% off sale so I picked up a nice chunk of 70's and 80's Avengers back issues. This store has fairly low prices to begin with so half off there is like Christmas!Comment

Got to Heroes Realm in Lexington around 2 in the afternoon in the B&B/YJ book was gone, but I picked up a few others for the kids. They had all of their comics (except the past weeks ) for a buck a piece! Mostly picked up comics for the kids, but I did get myself the Batman one-shot from late last year with the unpublished Berni Wrightson tale and the reprint of Swamp Thing #7. Batman by Wrightson for a buck is a steal!!!

Sorry Meule, the shop I went to was all out of the Adam West book.
I picked up some extra GL teasers tho.
I was planning on using them for prizes at our BD party, but kinda forgot they were there.Comment

I didn't go because I had to work, but they usually keep something for me. Last year it was all the same stuff from the year before mostly so I didn't think it would be much in the way of new new offerings this year anyway.Comment

Did pretty good - my best friend and I hit our regular store where folks could get five books per customer. Then we hit two more stores, one was relatively new, but was focused more on gaming stuff.
I picked up the Spider-Man, Thor and Captain America, Young Justice/Batman, Green Lantern, Elric, Worlds of Aspen, Adam West, Lady Death (from last year's FCBD), Civil War Adventure, Path of the Planeswalker 2, Star Wars: Clone Wars.
Didn't get the Green Lantern HeroClix though, as none of the shops offered it. I are the sad.

I was at the Toronto comics arts festival and didn't hit a shop until the late afternoon. They had amazing spiderman left, in the evening I hit another store and they mostly had the indie stuff.

Green Lantern/Flashpoint: The Green Lantern story was an updated origin tale (had Atrocitus in it). Flashpoint was the backup story - just a teaser starring Flash."It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues.

^^ I was looking forward to checking it out myself. We hit the shop between errands for our BD party that was happening that day. They opened up the freeday part of the store at about 9am. We got there at 10 and most of the big kid titles were gone.
My kids did get a bunch of new reading material and the hero click GL thing. My son is starting to get his phonics on, so he was pretty excited to have some more books to practise with.Comment
