Seriously though, Martin, I honestly think you'll be super impressed with quality of the Folio edition. The only concern would lie in the fact that many have arrived bumped. But folio is trying to make it right by their customers. Still, I know of at least a few replacements that have also arrived bumped.
I ordered the complete set with variants to collect. I assume you can just pick up a reading copy at any local comic/bookstore, Martin?
I picked up Tales From the Dark Side (Primary Cover, Subscription Cover and Retailer Incentive Cover) from a local comic store. There is also a Books A Million Cover and a Convention Exclusive but I will probably not get them.

A huge thanks out to Martin for leading me down yet another collecting path Visited my local comic book store today vs. the one in the mall. Although they only had the primary cover left in stock, it was very homely, down to earth kinda shop. I was able to reserve all future issues and variants that they will carry and I'll do that with Locke & Key as it gets closer to release. December of this year according ad in the back of issue #1. Thought I'd add a few pics to the thread for future reference.

Not sure if IDW does this with all their comics as this is my first purchase, but I really like how they have listed all the variant covers. An OCD collector's (me) dream!

As an ex-collector of comics from back in the 90s, watch out for the sheer volume of variant covers that IDW does. It's worse today than it was back in the 90s. I'm surprised that they get away with it actually. All of these variants is what nearly destroyed the comics market.
My girlfriend buys My Little Pony and JEM, and one of the issues had right around 20 covers. TWENTY COVERS. Insanity.

My son told me something disturbing about the My Little Pony comics. He said grown men are into collecting these and they (others) call themselves Bronies Not one for judgements; live and let live. But still, that just bothers me.

There are a lot men who like the My Little Pony comics and show. The show seems to be a crossover hit actually.
And honestly, it's not creepy like you'd think.
Here's something that I wrote about this very subject.

Does anybody know of somewhere to pre order the full series with all of the variant covers? Overlook Connection is offering a preorder of all issues plus one variant of each, but it seems like there will be more than one variant for each. Plus I'm not the biggest fan of Overlook Connection. Nor do I have the patience to track them each down individually.
