Yeah, I ordered it from Forbidden Planet in the UK and when it arrived, I didn't realise that the numbered bit should be seen on the outside, I just assumed that the numbering was on the inside of the book or something. So once I opened it, I had a look through for the number/prints, and could't find them. I also noticed that a large number of the pages on the book were heavily scored through, so not sure what happened there either.

I complained to FP and they arranged a courier to collect the dodgy one, and bring me a replacement. Once the replacement arrived, someone else on here had posted pics to show the book (showing the numbered bit from the outside). Mine was still sealed at this point, but didn't have that, so I opened it anyway, just incase some had it inside, and again, no prints/numbered bit.

I contacted FP again, who said they'd get back to me in a day or two, and when they did, they informed me that they were recalling that particular batch/delivery (not many from this batch had been sold onto people I think) as it was a manufacturing error.

I asked if I'd be able to get a partial refund, but keep mine as it was meant as a gift for someone and they refunded me ?25 (meaning it only cost me ?15).

Then nipperkipper ordered one for me from Titan and he sent it to me and I paid him (didn't have the money up front this time). So was very grateful there

Yeah, it was around a year ago I think, but the numbers will have been sent out in a varied order, as mine is in the 200s, and nipperkipper received mine AFTER he got his, and his number was higher than mine (if I remember correctly). They probably just grab them in a random order, plus other random number assortments will have been sold elsewhere xx

That's a pain in the rear vhal!

I'm curious why the change with the Halo BW book. The Halo 4 and AC3 book are not numbered outside and the prints are viewable from the spine.

Other things I noticed were the Halo BW and AC3 book came in a custom fitted box inside the shipping box but Halo 4 did not. And the Halo BW books custom box was numbered as well as the book itself.

Would you mind taking photos of your Halo BW book and how the prints are stored?

Yeh vhal is correct, they send them in randomly, i ordered right at the start and my number was in the 400's, ordered 2-3 weeks later for vhal and she got in the 200's

Looks like Titan are sold out now... Though I've only just realised that FP are part of the Titan group.... I'm a bit slow sometimes...

How do you know? It still allows me to add to cart. And their site doesn't limit you, I played with it last week, it allowed to add 501 to my cart and go all the way to checkout.

It's not listed at all now on Titan uk - still on FP but not Titan
