OK guys
Battlestar Galactica #1 I Values and Pricing | Dynamite Entertainment Comics | The Comic Price Guide (comicspriceguide.com)
after months of searching with out any results and no one adding it to there collection. my question is does it exist?
futureshop did not list anything about it, comics.org did not have it listed or could not find any pictures of it anyware.

have you asked Dynamite or Futureshop directly? go to the sources, they should know the truth. All I could find was some blog that said the season 3 steelbook dvd from Best Buy Canada had an Origins comic in it (probably a reprint?). The BG Origins issues here don't note a DVD insert version either. good luck on the hunt.

Future Shop got bought out by Best Buy and then was dissolved in 2015 so if there is a Best Buy exclusive they are probably one in the same..

had to search for it again. beware, the blog takes forever to finish loading, and tends to lock up my browser, so had to stop it and do a 'find' search. It's from 2008. http://galacticasitrep.blogspot.com/2008/03/
this is the pertinent post, and the link on the site to the Best Buy page is long out of date of course:
"In Canada, FutureShop has a few more copies of their “exclusive steelbook" edition of Season 3…and Best Buy Canada is bundling a free issue of the Battlestar Galactica: Origins comic book with the Season 3 package." of course there's no pic, and the comments don't want to load this year, so gave up waiting to see them.
Here's a thought--the blog says 'bundling a free issue of the Origins comic.' That doesn't necessarily mean it's an exclusive edition or variant, it could just be a regular edition that Dynamite or someone supplied them. In that case there's no reason to list it separately. It could also explain why that auction site has none noted with any of the season 3 steelbooks, or that maybe there just aren't any of the Best Buy Canada editions with the comic up for sale or sold at the moment. I tried multiple more google searches and came with nothing, so my guess is that IF there was a comic with that season 3 set, then it was just a regular edition.
this is Dynamite's contact info page with phone #'s and email addresses: https://www.dynamite.com/htmlfiles/contact.html
mycomicshop doesn't seem to list it under the 2006 series or the Origins series either. You'd think after all this time someone would have it pictured or listed somewhere. done all the looking I'm gonna do, so have fun..

I've been searching for it for many many years, just happened to see this thread. I have over a dozen copies of the RRP in ultra high grade, etc, and this is the only issue I could never find. When I scanned the internet back then, there was a lot more info on it and I even managed to find the Futureshop page for the DVD. Seems like you were able to get more info than i did though.
I've bought the futureshop steelbooks and exclusives to be 100% sure. I've had multiple ebay alerts set on it for many many years, never ever found any evidence that it exists. I had emailed and messaged Dynamite on facebook as well, both ignored with no reply. Great to know it doesnt actually exist.

It's possible this exists... While I don't know where it is (I have about 40,000 books), my database shows I have a copy of Battlestar Galactica: Origins "Special Edition ashcan giveaway". I am in Canada, and I was buying the BSG DVDs from Future Shop, so this might be it. I will keep an eye out for it.

A "Special Edition ashcan giveaway" is going to be a different book. google had nothing on a search for that either, but didn't spend much time looking or tweaking search terms. The book in question is a regular size/edition comic, and from all available info was just the regular version tossed in to the dvd tins. what you may have sounds like something else, so dig that puppy out and post a pic, inquiring minds wanna know!
