Holy cow, these are up to $40-$50 on ebay.
It's the only variant I own, do people really care that much about this one?? I can see the premiums for Yellow Stalker or Black timber, because they're radical differences, but jeez.

That's the only one I have too. It makes me happy to know I at least have ONE of the many variants.

I have both variants of Shipwreck carded and an open shark tatoo along with a yellow Stalker and the only one I actually purposely sought out was the anchor tatoo Shipwreck

Yup...I manage to one...and yup it doesn't deserve this much attention.
I wish variants went away...far, far away.

I don't even care about the variants, I'd probably be better off buying a regular Shipwreck and trading this for a Wave 3 Comic set or something.

Weren't some of the variants, like Black Timber, intentional? If Shipwreck's Shark tattoo were an accident, I'm really surprised. I thought this was going to be an ongoing theme with the 25th line but I haven't heard of anything major since Wave 3.
(I'm sorry but I can't count whether or not they painted Gung-ho's cap correctly)

I think Hasbro understands the idea behind what they're doing. What's the quickest way to ensure future purchases of variants? Introduce a short-run of variants and make sure they're significantly small enough to creat a super-high demand.
Yellow Stalker. Black Timber SE; Shark-tat Shippy. flash70, we have differences of opinion on a few things, and this is one of them. I hope variants and short runs like this are here to stay. If so-called "artificial scarcity" creates a demand that otherwise wasn't there... then awesome. More interest in the line!
