So the email I got from faretheewell said that they oversold and I was getting a refund, but they would be printing a variant and I'd be getting a copy of that for free with the option to purchase more.

Does anybody have any idea what type of a variant is coming?

I got the same email - call me pessimistic, but I feel like this is more of a Second Edition than a Variant.
I wouldn't expect a Status Serigraph Foil or anything like that... :lol:

Agreed. Especially after hearing that the Spustas that are going out from FTW aren't signed or numbered.

A few days ago the merchant emailed me they oversold and I would be getting one of two China Cats I ordered. They would throw in a pin and free shipping. Today they refunded both China Catsand did not refund shipping. They are shipping one poster only that I threw in on a whim. Called their service line and operators are poised to take orders not discuss the cluster f they created.

Worst service level I have seen in any premium merchant website.

I am so disgusted and they floated my money for a few weeks....leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Does Dead org know how screwed this is? Fare thee hell....

Teasers of the variant are up on the ftw site. Looks pretty sweet. It says edition of 2000 / numbered. Screenprinted on holographic rainbow foil substrate.

Interesting update on the FTW store:

"In order to improve the quality of service delivering these posters properly we have taken them offline temporarily. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but these posters will be available again very shortly. Please sign up for the In Stock Reminder and you will be notified when the poster fulfillment is back online.
Thank you!"

Translation: We screwed up these orders so badly we need to stop and sort it out before we dig the hole deeper.

Got an AE in the drop. Can't wait to see it up close!
Have 2 first editions from FTW store, one of which arrived flawed.
The foils from FTW store are pretty, but unsigned.

Did it just show up or they provided you with a shipping notice of some kind?

They notified me a few weeks ago that they would ship within a few weeks and it arrived today. This time it was packed in two sheets of kraft paper that was taped (on both ends) to the tube. Overall a much better job. The print actually looks pretty awesome.
