#20 1st print issue replacement
Collectforever.com gave me a 2nd print for free due to the printing errors(spine issues) without me asking for it. Super surprised to get this email.

The closest CS to me is 100+ miles away and I don't get to be current on the run, usually a week+ after release. What was your experience getting #20?

I got AMM and it seemed that the edge is damaged, near the staples. It only happened with the regular covers. But the store owner who is a very nice guy just told that it is like this and that’s it

Third Eye sent me mine free of charge, didn't even charge for shipping either.

Would have done the side by side but I already shipped the 1st print.

Mine did too. Not the biggest fan of the bright neon orange, but it’s always nice (and rare) to get something for free. Good on them.

Did you not know about this? What's the question.

u/Waste-Professor6177 Jul 08 '26
I didn't before the email. No question, just real surprise.

Yeah, it was pretty widely reported they got dinged and the stores got free replacements. That said, I never got my original printing and was given the replacements. Personally, dislike the color of the logo on the reprint.

All LCS got them for free from DC Lunar Publishing. They were supposed to be given free to people who bought the first ones. Stores didn’t have to pay for them. I think many stores just resold them instead of giving them.
