Ok, so I have decided to post this, as my rebuttal to "variant fever", which I think we can all agree is way out of hand.
I am usually just as guilty as anyone when it comes to wanting special, or limited versions of things. However, I won't buy multiple copies for a better chance at getting a variant. I can't flip or sell off unwanted vinyl, cause I suck at being responsible and mailing shit. And when it comes to the randomly inserted vinyl, my luck is beyond horrible.
Case in point: I have never received a randomly inserted color variant from Mondo. Nor have I purchased any Mondo vinyl elsewhere and received a variant. The only time I receive a color is if that is the only color offered for that version. So, at some point, I decided to seek out the black versions. I could get them for cheap from people trying to unload their 2nd copies. And even when I bought them sealed from Mondo or Amoeba, my luck stayed consistantly bad, which was a good thing.
