My LCS is charging $1.99 plus tax for a yellow ring.

Each of the employees at my LCS were wearing a different color ring the other day. It was amusing to see which person got which color.

The amount of rings a store got were based upon how many issues of the comic they ordered that the ring was shipped with. I doubt many people read Doom Patrol, and he probably was expecting to take a hit on the cost of all those books, so he's making up for it by selling the rings. What my store did was a pre-order deal, where people pre-ordered the set of comics that the rings shipped with and they get the ring for free. Otherwise, we have a deal where you buy a DC T-shirt, GN, action figure, or poster and you get 1 ring for free with each DC product.

Now I wish I would have taken a pic of the box of the couple hundred he had...

And they look fantastic! I also got a couple of yellow ones yesterday as well. My local shop got about 250 Yellow rings. So, they are most definitely available in the UK. If your LCS is charging you they are being a bit naughty and I would consider having a word with the manager. Good luck to everyone in obtaining a full set. I'm not parting with mine.

Weak, we didn't get any. And I ordered the comics in hopes that they would order enough. I don't give a rat's arse about Doom Patrol. -Nate-

Why are the rings linked to Doom Patrol? To stir up interest in the book? It seems logical that the rings would be with Blackest Night or Green Lantern.

i think they spread out the ring to other books just so other people will try new book that there not reading and hopefully get hooked.
