    I love so many of them, so I ordered all 14.
    There are fantastic ones among them.
    LOVE the NY, Boston, Chicago, Cali and 10-C.

    So glad the record is as fantastic as it is since I ordered nearly all of them before the release.
    Would have been sad to have that many variants of a stinker album.

    Why not?
    Clear vinyl is always a very nice thing, don't you think?
    Although it is (other than the colored variants) not creative, it looks great.

    Actually I quite like the clear one, but ended up order the 10c one, and bought the RSD one on the weekend because it was there and I wanted to spin it.  The RSD one doesn't look pretty cool.

    I ordered the 10C version right away, then was a bit nervous when I heard about all the variants, but I am happy with my purchase. It is difficult to tell from pictures alone, but that's all I have to go on, and so I would still buy the 10C version over the others. Boston is a close second.

    Bought the clear as I didn’t like the pictures of the RSD. Should have waited to see if it looked better in person which it apparently does.

    My overall favourite is the Vegas one. Just can’t find anywhere with stock which will ship to the UK.

    RSD and its not even close. Personally I find swirls boring (despite buying the Chicago Cubs variant).

    I ordered the red 10C on the day they offered the discount and ordered the Chicago one online. The Chicago one is out for delivery today, and the 10C was accepted by St Louis Saturday, so it should end up here in the next few days.

    RSD. Not even close. Fits the theme and design of the music and cover art. And it's a beauty.

    I haven't gotten my 10C Or NY variant yet. But the RSD one looks amazing in person. Better than I thought it would. It looks great spinning as well.

    That's great to hear, will open my copy tonight.
    Great thing for fans who missed it is the fact that there are stil copies left to order.

    RSD
    I was at Easy Street bright and early on Saturday to snag by RSD variant. I'm so happy with how it looks in person. They had a copy of the PNW variant sitting on display and I feel like it was such a miss. The colors make sense, but the execution is so poor, especially compared to many of the other variants.

    With 63 votes in, looks like we have a clear favorite so far amongst the fans.
    Would not have thought the RSD variant was that much loved.

    The clear one is going to be awesome with my new slipmat I got at the listening party....once that clear one arrives.  :)

    Love NY, 10C and Chicago, though.  And the RSD one is really cool.

    I'm very surprised the Boston variant isn't more popular.
    Top 3 for me for sure, great colors.

    I got a helpful email telling me the Philadelphia Dark Matter variant was for sale in Kutztown (a good hour and a half from the city) - clicked on the link and it says "unavailable."

    Whatever I have the 10C version. It's stupid to buy the same record twice.

    Its in another thread I think it was 2500 for PNW, LA and NY
    1500 for Chi, Bos, Vegas and Philly
    Missoula was unknown, but I'd bet 1500 as well.
    Unknown for the tri colors
    15,000 for RSD
    10c unknown
    10c clearn unknown

    Voting here was done by as described pictures.

    Now do a thread for actual coloration which is completely different for 10c. 

    Do the other variants look like they should?  Because the 10c one is just wrong on all levels.
