I've given examples of how the market clearly shows that very few collectors care about things like the different nameplate or upside-down packaging. The prices just aren't there and that alone proves a lack of a market. I think the people that have to have them get those variants fast and that's that. Even a a lot of MOC collectors don't feel the need to hunt down this stuff.

I'll agree with you there, packaging variants are dumb haha:P I don't consider it a true variant unless the figure has something real different about it.

The problem is that if you decide those are worth crazy money then it's incentive for people to make fakes. I wonder how hard it is to make a going liked that. I know some of the customs I see on ebay that have been put on cards look pretty good. I feel like packaging errors are a whole different thing from intended variants. I don't see a ton of people caring about them so I'm curious how most view them.

Go for it, poll it either on here or a new thread and see what folks say. Or maybe Trebs can suggest a better way to poll this from the collector's. Here's a good question to ask, do other lines have variants as in figures? I know TF's will have a different variant once in a while whether it be the packaging or a slight color, but I don't believe I've ever read TF collector's going out to pay $ to get them.
