So does anyone remember a preview magazine sent out by DC Direct to comic shops back in 2001, it had hi-quality images of DC products coming out, like statues, figures, posters, and what not. I still have #01-15 of them, and every now and then I pull them out and look at the awesome figures and statues that I still hope one day I will be able to purchase, plus whenever I look at them I get this warm nastalgic feeling from the time I first got them, even though it wasn't that long ago. I wish DC didn't stop with these (I know the reason they stopped was the internet was much cheaper way to solicit their products, but I thought these were a good idea) so anyways, many of you might not find this very interesting, but I just thought I would ask to see if anyone remembers those, and knows of how many their were? thanks  and later today I will try and rustle up some pics for reference, D.

My LCS has some of the old solict posters still hanging up, but he doesn't have any of the solicit booklets as far as he can recall.

The last issue I have is #16 April 2003.
