Sorry to hear, but not to worry, the scavengers are already selling them on Ebay.
On a side note, I really don't understand the point of Timed Editions. I haven't bought a single one in my years of collecting prints, and never will. To me, it really defeats the purpose of what numbered prints are all about.

Thanks T - I'll try and get the variant down the line when they hype calms a bit and prices lull. I also missed the Ansin Star Wars variant recently. i think I've only ever bought about 15 prints from re-sellers in 10+ years of collecting them, so I rarely do it, but I like both of those releases a lot.
The older and slower I get, the more I like timed editions. Although it's fun to have stuff that is scarce/rare/low run, I don't really care about the limited factor that much (I collect lots of modern stuff that is printed in the thousands), so if I like the art or artist, I buy it.
One timed edition I missed was the Durieux Pulp Fiction...I completely forgot to order one. Procrastinated on buying it and it seems to sell for $450+ these days despite being a run of 2,566. I got one in the Black Friday sale a couple of years ago, but they oversold it by accident so cancelled my order (they sent me a pint glass and some stickers/handbills as an apology, which was nice of them).
