How have I never noticed the "S" being cut-off until now, lol. Really annoys me as this release would have been perfect without the mistake. Arrived mint in every other way, shame.
HDZ and Kimchi seem to be the only premium steels I've had no issues with. (BF scratches all over slips, Manta scratches all over steels and some slips, Nova misprints on a few titles)

I've had issues with most (if not all) retailers to some extent None of them are perfect by any means I'm not actually too fussed about the slightly cut off "S" here. It's an error of course but not one I'll loose sleep over I love the WEA steel too much the slip overall is amazing (especially FS-A ). I think the Lenticular error would bug me more even though not many would bother to read the specs. Not saying it's acceptable but the "S" in particular I feel is pretty minor

Nova's reply:

We'll send replacements with your recent new orders include GOTG replacements.

It has to be perfect. It has to be perfect or we suffer from scratchphobia, dentphobia.

Penny pinching is not uncommon with Asian retailers. This is how they operate sadly. Although the scale of this mistake is not in the same level as ML's Wonder Woman they must make an announcement and start sending out replacements.

I got the replacements today. They arrive in a close to A4 envelope:

Spoiler: More pictures

No lenticular on the replacement O-ring, but it's also embossed.



The PET slip case is the same size as an SCF3 protector from Steelbookcentral, so...



... you can put it over the lenti slip. It's very tight if you don't remove the shrinkwrap from the lenti slip, so sealed collectors beware. That's also why I stopped half-way through.

FYI: I explicitly asked Nova to include the replacements in my order. I'd advise you did the same if you want to make sure to get the replacements. Also, I have to check the envelope again. It seems the sticker with the corrected credits for the old O-ring with the lenticular image was not included. See @pbtour4il's photos on the previous page of this thread.

I received the pet slip (with star lord on the back) . Any instructions on how to assemble it ? (I don't want to damage it) . You can DM me on instagram also

Just fold it to proper shape. You can't do anything wrong as long as you use the fold lines and don't try something funny, like folding the slip in the middle or turn the inside out.

By the way, I had another look and also found the sticker for the original, faulty, lenti slip inside:

With all the replacements everyone is getting I got my boxset through the GB should I contact them or nova directly?

Ok thanks ! I managed to assemble it right. But what this PET (don't even get what this means bacause I'm french) cover is suposed to "cover" ? Is it suposed to be the steelbook inside ?

For my part I bought the lenticular edition (and there's no print error) but I did not receive the cards that come with it (only this replacement cover with star lord on the back).
I wrote an email to nova media to see if they can sent me the cards and the booklet.

Is anyone having this problem ? (with the cards)

Are the cards still available ?

PET = Polyethylene terephthalate = Polytéréphtalate d'éthylène (plastic, basically ) @WendyUncharted

If you unseal the lenticular slip, the PET slip fits over the whole thing, like a protective case from Steelbookcentral. That's also why it hasn't got any print on the front side, so you still can see the lenticular image.

I'm not sure if I understand your problem with the cards. You didn't get the art cards and the booklet with your copy? Then that's a packaging mistake by Novamedia and they will certainly send you the missing items with your next order. Their service is very helpful and quick with replies.

Cheers!

Thanks for your help !! Actually the cards were in the steelbook and I didn't see it at first. It's all fine now ! thanks a lot for your answers. This website is so cool !

So there is no replacement for the Full Slip A, correct? The error doesn't bother me that much but it's a shame that such premium steels come with errors

 

[yeslek]

i got the envelope with the order that arrived just before xmas - so the steelbook, with error, and the extra slips

I missed out on the restock. Anyone happen to have a sealed one-click they want to sell?

Hi @silphalion, we also have a thread here in the trading section where you are able to ask for any Steelbooks you are looking for. You should see that section once you have made 20 posts. Welcome to the forum!

There is a decently price 1 click on eBay for around $229 plus shipping. Considering this was about roughly $190 shipped direct from Nova, its not too much of a mark up.
