More 'Free' Lantern Rings Coming From DC

Would you like to add to your ring collection?


 
 

When Blackest Night #1 came out, comic shops had the option of ordering 'free' rings to give away, depending on how many issues they ordered (they also had to buy the rings to give away).  For the most part, it seemed everyone was happy with the quality of the ring.  I guess you could say this was a successful marketing idea.
 
If it worked with Blackest Night #1, why not continue?  There are plenty of other 'colored' rings that could be given away.  According to Bleeding Cool, DC is doing just that.  Targeting upcoming Blackest Night tie-ins, for every 25 copies of Doom Patrol #4, Booster Gold #26, R.E.B.E.L.S. #10, Outsiders #24 that retailers order, they can order a bag of fifty Sinestro rings, Agent Orange rings, Indigo Tribe rings and Star Sapphire rings (respectively).
 
What about the other colors?  For every 50 copies of Justice League of America #39, Blackest Night #5 and Adventure Comics #4, they can order a bag of fifty Red Lantern rings, Green Lantern rings and Blue Lantern rings (respectively).
 
The rings will ship every two weeks beginning with yellow on November 4th.
 
One thing to keep in mind, this might not be the same type of give away as the Black ring was.  As I mentioned, retailers have to actually pay for the rings and also have to order more copies than they might normally order.  Some retailers might even pass on them altogether.  I would suggest you start talking to your retailer today and and perhaps point them to this page.
 
Which ring(s) do you really want to add to your collection?

@SUPER-MAN 23:  It is a great set but it's also $250 so while I would love to have it I think that I'm going to go the cheaper route and get the free rings with the comics that I would be buying anyway

Same here. Hey, it's cool if you like the comic though. If not, just take 50 cents to your local gumball machine... :P

try looking through your local junk yard; with the right parts, an arc welder and a little paint you could make your own Iron Man armor for little to no money. I mean Tony Stark managed to build it in a cave WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!

So, I've got the black lantern ring and I was surprised about the quality. It's pretty cool, but Helzberg won't clean it when I bring it in. Love the ring and wear it every wednesday when I pick up my books.

Too bad the rings really are not free.  The comic shop owners have to pay for them before they can be given away as free.

I just talked to my LCBS and the owner said that he didn't know if he would be getting them all since 25 copies of Doom Patrol #4, Booster Gold #26, R.E.B.E.L.S. #10, Outsiders #24 is kind of a lot for those books

So, what I really would like to hear from the Comicvine group. How long do you think it will be until there are White Rings, and what do you think will be the heart to their power? How do you do Black Rings and not to White Rings down the road?
