Fill Your Fingers - The 'Free' Lantern Ring Collection
(x-posted from ns_d)

The Black Lantern ring giveaway to kick off the Blackest Night event was an immense hit, with demand booming for these chunky stylish collectable black plastic fingerwear, and a call for similar rings to match the different Lantern colours seen in the series went out. And DC listened.

So for every 25 copies of Doom Patrol #4, Booster Gold #26, R.E.B.E.L.S. #10, Outsiders ‘24 and your retailer orders, they can order a bag of fifty Sinestro rings, Agent Orange rings, Indigo Tribe rings and Star Sapphire rings respectively.

And for every 50 copies of Justice League of America#39, Blackest Night #5 and Adventure Comics #4 sees you with a bag of fifty Red Lantern rings, Green Lantern rings and Blue Lantern rings, also respectively.

What do you guys think? It'll get me an orange ring in the bag easily, but I'll have to buy R.E.B.E.L.S. #10 to get the ring I really want (who's got something positive to say to sell me on it?). The only part that really bugs me is the way the rings are being every two weeks, so they won't all be in till the end January, and by then won't most of the relevant issues be outdated?

	Sweet. My birthday is the 11th and I am going to ask for all of them along with my usual ~~demands~~ requests. (Reply to this)

	I'm confused. I thought Ted was kinda/sorta resurrected during Booster Gold? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	He had to sacrifice himself again to fix the timeline. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Well, he had to give Max something to shoot. Or possibly this is something else entirely? He wasn't wearing that costume when he died. (Reply to this) (Parent)

the aftermath had a shadowy figure going into one of Teds blue beetle warehouses and laughing in his trademark style, in subsequent interviews it was said that this was meant to be Ted.
Now what I think (hope) is going on is this: Theres two Teds, the one shot by Max and who is considered by everyone to be dead, and the Ted that somehow escaped his death and was shown at the end of the blue and gold arc and is displaced from time.
This will all lead into a massive comfrontation where both beetles kick zombie Teds ass.

	I suppose you could say it's to look frighting. These undead do seem to gain power from strong emotions like fear, and it would be pretty tricky to have a series where everyone comes back as sexy violet energy zombies. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	My PRECIOUSES! Damn, I feel like Larfleeze. I must have them all... (Reply to this)

	Yeah, they can give me the Orange or Green ones if they want, but I jut want an Indigo one. Maybe they'd let me trade? It's really hard to tell how they'll do the thing, since the Indigo rings come out two months after R.E.B.E.L.S. #10. 'Course, none of my LCSes even got the Black rings in, so I'm prolly counting my eggs before they hatch. (Reply to this) (Parent)
