OUR BACK ISSUE BIN SALE CONTINUES! Through March, we will continue the deep discount savings on issues of the past. We are entering newly acquired stock each and everyday and constantly adding some juicy hard to get comics to our bins. This past month we added another 3,000 more in our bins and if you have not been to the store lately, you will notice a big difference as we have added a central location for all of our back issues. Feel free to send us your want lists and we will even do the work for you.
Speaking of back issues, did you know that a CGC 8.0 copy of Action Comics #1 has been sold for $1 million to an unidentified buyer in an auction that closed this past Monday on ComicConnect.com? This more than triples the previous record for a vintage comic, the $317,200 paid for a 6.0 copy of the same title last year! Now granted, Only 100 copies of Action Comics #1 exist, and only two copies have been graded at 8.0 or higher. the 1938 comic was the first appearance of Superman and the beginning of the superhero genre.

GEEK NATION TOUR TO SAN DIEGO COMIC CON! Want to go to the San Diego Comic Con? Need a 4-Day Pass even though they are sold out? Want someone else to take care of all your traveling plans? Join these guys for a six day tour!http://www.geeknationtours.com/
A message from the YBIA: On February 11th and 12th, 2010, the Olympic Flame will travel throughout Vancouver on the Olympic Torch Relay Route, including the Downtown area. There will be rolling road closures of 10-20 minutes as the Olympic Torch travels through Vancouver so be sure to expect some delays- vehicle travel to or within Downtown Vancouver will be VERY challenging. However, don’t be discouraged to come out and celebrate as the flame makes its way through the city. Just don’t bring your car – take transit, walk or cycle, and plan ahead for extra travel time. Tens of thousands are expected to gather every day at the LiveCity sites to watch live performances showcasing Vancouver’s creative excellence and cultural diversity. We at Elfsar will continue to run our Olympic inspired sale thru the games, so if you are in the area, please drop by the store to say hi. Come and check out our extra goodies and take advantage of our sale that is breaking records.
Okay, back on subject – To mark the flame’s historic arrival in Vancouver, an Olympic Torch Relay Celebration is being planned by the City for the evening of February 11th, 2010. The celebration will take place at 6:30pm at LiveCity Yaletown David Lam Park (only a few blocks away from Elfsar) and will feature live entertainment, athlete appearances, and much more. To support the Olympic Torch Relay Celebration, and to ensure the safe movement of pedestrians throughout the area, the following streets and sidewalks will be temporarily closed:
·12pm – Pacific Blvd – east-side sidewalk closed between Homer St and Drake St
·3pm – Pacific Blvd closed – east-bound lane between Homer St and Drake St
·3pm – Pacific Blvd – west-bound parking (curbside) lane fenced off
No residential or business driveway access will be impacted during this period. More information is available on the Host City website at the link below:

*************************************************
THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET INTERESTING Due to the Olympics we will be opening a little later than normal. We don’t want to give an exact time as we are still unsure how much the traffic and people situation will affect us in Yaletown. We remain hopeful but have our reservations. It is best to play it by ear and see how it goes. This means if the street is busy we will stay open. If it is a ghost town then we will close at our regular store hours. If you want to be sure just give us a call we can certainly let you know. In any case, there seems to be a lot going on in the downtown core. One of which is the LiveCity Yaletown event at the David Lam park which is providing nightly entertainment until 11pm every night. The best part is …it’s FREE! Check out more info: HERE
OUR SALE CONTINUES THROUGH FEBRUARY! Yes our January boxing month sale is now technically over today on the 27th. However after careful consideration we have decided to carry our sale over the Olympics in February. If you don’t know what I am talking about yet, our sale is a Buy 2 get 1 Free on all Graphic Novels, Magazines and Comic Book Sets and 20% off all non reading material. Items on the ‘New This Week’ racks and all special orders, audio/video, supplies and stuff on consignment are not included. But there is so much on sale it will be difficult to miss a deal. So in a way, we are taking on the spirit of the Olympics as we are breaking all previous records for longest awesome sale!
BACK ISSUE BIN SALE at 55% OFF! The best part of our sale is our massive discount on back issues! What is a back issue? They are issues that are located in our back issue bins of course. After about 4 or 5 months or sometimes even up to a year we put our unsold copies of comics in protective bags and boards and store them alphabetically in our long boxes. We follow the comic book alphabet which means it is as normal except when there are logical groups to be made. For example: The Batman, Superman, Spider-man & X-men books are grouped all together. i.e. Amazing Spider-man, Spectacular Spider-man, Web of Spider-man …. are all under “S” for Spider-man. Looking for something specific? Or do you have a list of books you need? Send it to us via email and we will do the work for you and let you know what we have.
Okay first lets deal with the formality of reminding everyone that orders are due today, December 23rd. Then we will get to the good stuff…
DECEMBER ORDERS ARE DUE TODAY WEDNESDAY the 23rd! So if you have not done so already, please send us your order changes ASAP. Not sure what to order? Want us to venture deep into the minds of the Elfsar staff and find out what they think about the stuff coming out in 2010?

Let me introduce you to the 321 Podcast updated with a new episode
every Sunday. These 3 guys put on a smart and interesting show that
will either gross you out or make you laugh a lot.
Well worth the listen. Find them at http://www.the321podcast.com/
From Green Candy Press, Lulu Award-winning cartoonist Abby Denson is a regular script-writer for both Marvel and DC Comics, and the creator of the queer comic Tough Love: High School Confidential will be joining us on Halloween for a comic book signing of her new book Dolltopia. Abby is touring across Canada and she will be bringing, the punked-up Barbies and stripped-down Kens from her new book Dolltopia to join us on Halloween. This is a special stop on her tour to celebrate it’s release.
Dolltopia is the story of Kitty, a ballerina doll
forced into a not-so-happily-ever-after living arrangement with a male jock toy. Filled with discontent, Kitty takes it upon herself to escape her human-imposed domesticity and create a new life and a new image for herself away from the persecution of the human world. On this mission, she finds not only a host of like-minded individuals, but a veritable heaven for the alternative doll: Dolltopia.
Abby Denson will be conducting a reading from her new book Dolltopia at Elfsar Comics & Toys during the day on October 31st and this will not be the only thing happening this Halloween,
I was just interviewed this morning to provide insights to the marriage proposal in Archie Comics #600 (which came out today) by CBC Radio during the “Early Edition”with Rick Cluff. I gave my thoughts on the issue and talked a little bit about the comic industry and the unique form of what comics are as entertainment. It actually turned out to be a pretty good segment with a lot of humor. It also provided a nice plug for our store and we have been getting a fair bit of extra orders for the issue to my surprise.
CBC should have the archive up soon. The segment was at 6:50am on August 19th, 2009.
