Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Mar 17, 2021, 10:16:58 AMThat price is an absolute f**king joke. I genuinely cannot believe they have the gall to do this.

Marvel taking the absolute piss here.https://www.tfaw.com/jan210580-alien-1-wraparound-space-variant.html?ff=4&fp=802040&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrsGCBhD1ARIsALILBYrOoLN4reJKT2NTTRKkSz2duJ2D4tcARmCk_nW3RtfVQYOJpd1ttQ0aAr7JEALw_wcB&fbclid=IwAR0TG-CMvi353PiuuN4ipCwC070qdBElRgGmA5M5t2ByBtRZ8v0U8dOo7iI
Quote from: David's Creation on Mar 17, 2021, 09:23:39 PMI don't follow comics much, so is this abnormal? I imagine they do this sort of thing all the time... Produce a super rare expensive variant for the hardcore collectors. Does this really change anything?
Quote from: HuDaFuK on Mar 17, 2021, 09:15:55 AMThe cover I actually quite like for it's minimalism.
Quote from: Prez on Mar 17, 2021, 10:34:07 PMI've purchased variant covers before and maybe paid a wee bit extra but $200 ... yer nah they can shove that where the sun don't shine. I mean look if anyone wants to spunk that kinda money on this then it's their choice ... I just think it's ludicrous for a single issue at that price.
Quote from: Darwinsgirl on Mar 17, 2021, 10:43:18 PMPrez is right. Refusing to pay is a good way to say no to this practice.
Quote from: Darwinsgirl on Mar 17, 2021, 10:43:18 PMP.S.The $159.99 price is set by Thing from Another World not Marvel. The cover price is $4.99. But the cost is buying 200 copies at $2.49 to "purchase" 1 copy of this. Oh and UPS fees are not included in the cost. That is a separate fee.
