Jetpack # 1 ''Orange error'' ?
 
Can anyone confirm this? I don't have this particular issue in hand yet. But is there any truth to this auction or is this seller just spewing BS?

Wondered when word of this was going to spread. They aren't the same price so you will get the normal red unless you paid the huge markup for the orange.

Jetpack is not differentiating between the two though.

Huh, I'll have to take a look at my copy when I get home later. Pretty sure mine's red-tinted though.

I got one...couldn't resist!!!

You know what companies should do, make comics, then make variants to make more money, then purposely making variants with errors to convince even more people to to buy overpriced stuff that isn't really rare at all. If I ran a comic company, that's what I would do lol. Makes you wonder if all of the new comics being released with errors are on purpose or not, trying to cash in on the old days of misprints and errors. I am still tempted to buy this though, those damn comic companies know how to get me.... sigh*

Anyone have any idea of how many issues have the orange tint?

If you would have read the auction, the seller states 400 have the orange cover but a large quantity of the 400 were damaged in transit so less than 400, depending on if they are selling the damaged ones.

Fantomex 10-01-2011 04:49 PM

Seeing as how I already have a red version of this variant, do you think its worth the 40 bucks to buy this orange version of the variant? Help me decide lol!!!

Yes, buy it right now.:roll:

Fantomex 10-01-2011 05:01 PM

Lol I love that response

Ninjinister 10-01-2011 06:22 PM

So issue one has yet another variant.

Thank God I stuck with the one.

Id like to believe that but the skeptic in me is screaming No freakin way. The red was a thousand copies and the orange was 400 with a good chunk damaged. If you think about it, it doesn't make good business sense to sell a rarer variant copy for the same price as a more readily available version.Supply and demand.

I fully expect to see mint copies of the orange popping up for double or triple or even quad plus the price. Ill gladly admit I was wrong if folks order the variant for regular price and get a mint orange. Im waiting to hear back from Jetpack myself.

How to make your own "ULTRASUPERRARE!" orange Jetpack #1:
1. Place your red Jetpack #1 in a window facing the sun or under florescent lights.
2. Wait until the color fades and enjoy.

:D

I cant believe there is this many variants. anyone know whats the most variants for a single comic? Not including reprints. I would imagine this one is getting close.

drasgow 10-02-2011 07:29 AM

the first godzilla comic by idw had 100 variants
