I know it was in the cover checklist but was that an error? I get all the covers from my comic shop and they didnt get that one. I got the blank retailer one you mentioned, but I have never seen a blank one w/o the Yesteryear logo.

One of the guys at my local shop said it was an incentive if they bought a certain amount of Joes AND Transformers and that the price they would have to charge me would be too much. I'll ask the owner when I see him this week.
Have you ever seen a Cobra II #1 2nd print, by the way? I've seen the press release saying it was coming, but nobody seems to have one. Or how about the Danger Girl/GI Joe #1 RIB unique sketch cover? It's listed on the checklist, but I've never seen one of these either. Last edited by shotgunstallion; 04-29-2014 at 09:38 AM.. |

According to my LCS owner, the picture of the blank 200 RIB in the checklist is just a placeholder and is actually a Herb Trimpe sketch cover. He would have had to buy both GI Joes and Transformers (he didn't mention the number of copies), but he didn't find this out until AFTER he received his order and made a phone call. He THOUGHT the RIB was coming because he ordered enough Joes, but he didn't order the Transformers because he didn't know he needed to. I guess this has happened before. It looks like IDW slipped up by not letting dealers know what they needed to buy. So unless a particular comic shop was moving tons of Joes & Transformers, the RIB cover simply didn't get ordered because nobody knew the requirements. That likely accounts for the fact that we haven't seen any.
I found out the Cobra #1 2nd print does actually exist. How about that Danger Girl/GIJoe #1 RIB? It's the only checklist comic left that I've never seen. Have you? |

IF I have seen it, it was only a pic online... definitely never seen one in person.
Since there seems to've been confusion and lack of orders on the Trimpe sketch cover for 200, maybe it will be offered again thru Previews at some point. Glad to know there are people just as completist about this stuff as me!
