Augh wtf am I supposed to do with temporary tattoos?!

Princess Anri · 04-30-2012, 05:00 PM

My Infestation 2: TMNT #1 25 copy incentive variant got here today.

In the form of a little bag of temporary tattoos.

This is the lamest thing ever. Quite honestly, it's worse than murder.

I want my $12 back, dcbservice.com!

(anyone else experiencing this heartache?)

marcelangelo · 04-30-2012, 05:04 PM

so you got a bag full of tattoos of the idw turtles??
I cannot follow you on this one...

you mean NO comic AT ALL?

**Venom** · 04-30-2012, 05:17 PM

This is amusing. Reminds me of the time Gamestop wanted 60 bucks for some pre-order trading cards instead of, oh I dunno, giving them to me.

Join a biker gang?

TristanHuwJones · 04-30-2012, 05:43 PM

I take it you didn't like the comic then...

Make the day of a small child by giving them to 'em? If nothing else, show us a picture. I'm curious to see what they look like.

I don't get it... did you get your comic? if so... i don't see the bad in a little extra tattoos. but if you didn't get your comic and instead got tattoos... then the rage is justified.

What, no, I loved the comic.

But I got these tattoos INSTEAD of a variant for which I paid $12.

Ahh... I was wondering if that was it. You ordered 2 copies, the normal and the 1:25 variant, and instead of getting 2 books you got a book and a set of $12 temp tats?

Yes.

I got the normal issue a long time ago (it shipped normally).

But the variant never shipped until now and it turns out this is the replacement.

I mean, I am not really that mad the variant got canned and that I already had it ordered since dcbservice.com requires you to order a month or two in advance...but this is my compensation?

*Plasticplayhouse* · 04-30-2012, 08:09 PM

F the tattoos, I'd want my $ back. 25 ugly ass tattoos won't buy me lunch, but $12 sure can.

Lampy · 04-30-2012, 08:43 PM

yea... i'd get my money back as well. $12 for temporary tattoos just doesn't equal to a variant comic. besides... i don't think those tattoos are even worth the $12 you spent.

*Zany Orange Dude* · 04-30-2012, 08:47 PM

The tattoos are cool but not worth the $12.

nickn · 04-30-2012, 09:04 PM

maybe if this was gonna be something down the road worth money, but I doubt people 10 years from now is gonna be looking for the IMNT Inf. 2 tats. lol

Princess Anri · 04-30-2012, 09:21 PM

I just hope I didn't offend Tristan.

None of my anger/criticism in the first post had anything to do with the quality of the comic.

It was all directed at having been tricked into buying tattoos for $12 when I never would have paid over 50 cents for them.

rich · 04-30-2012, 09:55 PM

I feel your pain on this one. I thought the whole Infestation 2 tattoo incentives were confusing from the get-go.

First, for Infestation 2 #1 there were two different RI B (25 copy incentives) - one was an actual signed variant cover of the issue (by Alex Garner) and one was just 25 tattoos.
Then, for the Infestation 2 TMNT #1 RI B there was only one RI B but no comic, just tattoos.

Here's how the PREVIEWS page from January solicited the Infestation 2 TMNT #1...I guess in hindsight you can maybe deduce that the RI B was just tattoos and no comic but it wasn't clear at the time.

I totally agree that $12 for just tattoos is lame, especially when the Infestation 2 #1 RI B signed Alex Garner cover was the exact same price at DCBS. However, these are all incentives anyway and are designed to be "free" to retailers that purchase the designated amount of copies. We can look on the bright side...at least we didn't have to buy 25 copies of the comic just to get 25 tattoos, right?

id buy one or two of them if you wanted to sell em but i wouldnt pay more than like a buck each lol

TurtleMaster4 · 05-01-2012, 02:48 PM

you know, when i first read the title i was thinking, how dose this have to do with the comics, but now that I read what you wrote, i though..... wow, what a rip off! You really should join a temporary biker gang, why, to put the temporary tattoos on, cause i mean, whats a biker with out tattoos, i mean it's like, chuck with out the noriss! And while your at it, i'd but a bow staff, that's identical to Dony's of course, so you can whack the people who ripped you off with it, and then grab one of those tattoos and slap it on their face, then run em over with your motor cycle to make sure it stays on. that, is what you should do!
