Get TF RG1 high sales for one issue

[primenova]

I've put this here instead of new comics thread - mainly due to comparing sales to the UK comic back in 86-88.

If we try to get the sales for just one issue of IDW comic to get close to those of the weekly UK comic - could we do it. This is with UK & US sales not just UK newsagent sales that got the UK comic to just under 200,000.

So if IDW release TFRG1 #91 1/5/13 & FCBD 2013 is 4/5/13 - so anyone near local comic shop can go pick up the advanced ordered issue with FCBD issue [making sure the comic knows you are just getting the issue on 1 off so they don't order extra stock for June 2013]

I posted thread on IDW forum just checking if we have 2 covers for the issue. Then we can check where the cheapest shops are to get the issue from.

But if we aim for sales of 180,000 - so thats just 90,000 of each cover & covering sales in Uk & US just for 1 issue only - seeing cover print with postage shouldn't be more than £4.50.

#91 should also be the start of the 3rd story arc too. Then we'll have Transformers at #1 outselling all Marvel DC just for one month only.

Peter.

The sales figures that are quoted online, only take into account Diamond US figures, international sales are not quoted. The accuracy of the sales figures online are questioned repeatedly and are really only guestimation at best.

So this is not going to happen.

I thought they had included all print run sales figures in the totals for the monthly charts. That before it was US only when I used to check them during the '90's. When G2 #1 cover A got to number 91 or 93?

[Andy Turnbull]

Nope.

It was a long standing joke that DC's titles that tied in to their animated series were the biggest sellers once international sales were taken into account.

Didn't know that about the DC stuff [don't collect or follow news] but it would have been good for just one issue to see at number 1 if the charts where correct.
