I've got three. I want at least three of everything from this new launch. :)
I might pick up another one or two, though, if the price remains low.

I have three, but I'm giving two of them to two of my best friends. And I haven't actually picked them up yet, but will do so tomorrow.

Aw man, i can hook you up. I'll trade you my regular edition for your c2e2 one. All I want for it is for you to cover shipping both ways, to make things fair.

Well, I received 5 from Horizon (when I really only need one, but for a penny apiece, limit 5... :? ) so if anyone needs a regular edition, LMK.

Can somebody explain to me the difference between the C2E2 variant and the normal FCBD issue. I can't tell any difference when I look at the covers online.

The normal FCBD issue has the title words Doctor Solar and Magnus on a thick white stripe across the center of the cover.
It also says "Free Comic Book Day" at the top center of the book.
The Dark Horse "horse head" is on the top right.

The 1,000 copy variant doesn't use a white stripe... the titles are on the full-color artwork.
There is no "Free Comic Book Day" notation at the top center.
The Dark Horse "horse head" is on the top left.

That is quite a bit of difference IMO.

This is the C2E2 "variant" - notice it even says "C2E2 Retailer Exclusive" and "Limited to 1000 Copies" right below that, at the TLHC. (No I don't have one, I snagged this image off of the web.)

I just bought one off Ebay for a decent price. Saw several of them signed by the entire creative team by one seller going for about $30. Just couldn't pull the trigger on those.

Of the variant? If so, that's impressive.
