😎📖 Watch as Rockets are Red flips through our first test print of a portion of our @luchadoresvs book in 60 seconds. We can’t possibly do a now 400+ page book justice this quickly but feast your eyes on just some of what is inside the pages of Luchadores vs. Everything! Once the Kickstarter campaign is over the retail price of the book is going to be at least $10 higher than it is right now if you pre-order via the KS campaign. And once it’s completely sold out, this is going to be a truly sought after collectors item.
