View Full Version : SFII #1 Power Foil?
Is it out yet? If so, which sites have it? If not, when? Will Club Udon carry it? The Evil Ryu cover looks great. The #2 cover look great too, the one with Blanka.

We didn't get a foil cover here too. Guess I'll wait too. If it's Diamond's fault though I'll be pissed.

U get it at a steal! I saw one ended on EBAY last nite for more than 20 bucks!
For the Foils, I just checked with Quebecor today. It seems that their printing schedule is very backed up and cannot run them till first thing of the year. I will keep you guys posted on this once they come back to work during the new year. I am as frustrated as you guys are on this too!

The link above, Diamond shipping list, shows that the Power Foil cover will be released on December 29, 2005. So, next week.

I am pretty sure that it woll not be shipped till Jan. Coz I just talked to Quebecor yesterday and they told me that their press are so crammed with the big guns and they really cannot get to it till after new year......
Well, pity us small potatoes...

According to Newsarama and Diamond's "Shipping Changes as of 01.23.06"...
UDON ENTERTAINMENT CORP
STREET FIGHTER II #1 POWER FOIL JO CHEN CVR C 11/30/2005 - 3/1/2006
Also udoneko also said:
First, I apologize the problems that happen with Power Foil #1. The book is printed. I have copies in my hand right now. So what is the problem? Admittedly (as I have explained before, these Power Foils takes a LOT of extra time to print), the book is shipping later than the designated time frame. So Diamond has a policy that if the book is not shipped within the designated time frame, they have to do "order adjustment" and they will ask all the retailers if they wish to adjust their amount of copies ordered. That takes an extra 3 weeks to process, and that is why they are holding the book until they get the revised orders. Then they will be shipping the books out.
Hope that helps

Still no powerfoil. What is the deal? I'm about to stop collecting altogether because of this ridiculousness. Very unprofessional because it happens consistently. Come on Udon, get it together.

Its already been stated that its no longer in Udon's hands. They have their copies, its already printed. Its now in DIAMOND'S turn to ship the book out but as the foil missed the designated time slot, DIAMOND have pushed it back to the closest available time slot after the 3 week processing, and that time slot is MARCH 1st

Which in NO WAY changes what I said. The book got to Diamond late because UDON shipped it late. Quit trying to place the blame on Diamond. Is it Diamond's fault every other time this happens?

maybe it'll come w/ the second print sagat cover. i've gone to a couple local comic stores and they told me the same. then again, they might be wrong

Ok, my previous post seemed like I was placing the blame on the late shipment on Diamond, fine, I admit that, but the truth still remains that Udon missed the time frame and Diamond have had to push the powerfoil #1 back to a date thats feasible for them. That, Udon cannot change now.
True, I thought Udon took the extra time between Street Fighter #13 and Street Fighter II #0 to get ahead of schedule but there's obviously been unaccounted factors that have ultimately delayed their first books as a publishing company. Its also true that Udon aren't the only ones with late comics. Just this week, only one of the books I got was actually originally solicited this week, the other 7 were late from last month and two books that should have been released late have been delayed. That's the way the comic market is these days, does that mean Marvel and DC are unprofessional?
Its easy to blame Udon but as a small business thats just starting up as a publisher, there are bound to be rough patches caused by factors, some of which are beyond even their control

powerfoil #1 has yet to be released as its pending; thus, the diamond shipping lists also state that its a tentative list. By all means don't always refer to the list in general yet, it's best to inquire @ the store.
"The products on the lists below are expected to ship to comic book specialty stores on the indicated date. Note that this list is tentative and subject to change. Please check with your retailer for availability. "

True, but Diamond's updates, through giving dates for previous late books, are usually fairly accurate as opposed to their Expected lists. So I'm expecting the foil to arrive at stores on March 1st. Sometimes books get pushed forward but most often it gets pushed back again but as the powerfoil has already been printed, its safer to say that we'll see it between now and March 1st.
I think stores get their lists and updates from Diamond every week and I believe they consist of the updates posted on Newsarama as well as the lists posted on Monday on the Diamond website, enquiring at the store is only affective come Wednesday when the comics arrive at the store as even they aren't 100% certain what'll arrive before then (unless they receive their invoice a week early).

Hell yes. I haven't had the issue with DC but marvel pisses me off all the time (Nyx and Secret War come to mind... GRRRR!!!). It's just that there's such a large volume of comics, there's usually something to hold me over from my other regular titles. UDON doesn't really have that though.
