Got mine too, but be warned, it doesn't have a j-card, instead it has a printed back. Gotta wonder who makes a stupid decision like that.

 

[Lenny Nero]

Just in.

Does it have an alternate cover with the newer art on the amaray?

Does it have an alternate cover with the newer art on the amaray?

It has an alternate cover yes, but it's different art to the one on the other version of this release.
