Default Anybody here buy the Halo Art of Building Worlds CE Art book?

I bought it a fortnight ago, and it arrived, and was missing the numbered insert, the 4 signed lithographs and a few pages were badly scored (I bought it brand new, might I add)

So I sent it back for a replacement, and the replacement is missing everything aswell... The pages aren't scored, but I'm pissed that this is my second copy to be missing the numbered insert and 4 signed lithos, obviously the main items in this fucking edition.

Did anybody else buy it? And preferably open it? Where in the book was the lithos and insert? I've looked all through it, and all through the previous copy, and nothing was to be found, so either they are missing, or I'm severely fucking blind.

Any help please? xx

If you bought from Forbidden Planet in the UK, WARNING they are being recalled. There was a manufacturing error causing their copies to be printed and shipped without the numbered insert or signed lithos, and they can't get replacements due to them being sold out

I am actually so upset about this need to wait until they receive it back to get a refund, and by then any other retailers will probably have sold out too

Why me!? *sobs* xx

Do you have a link to the book you bought?

I bought a Halo art book but it was entitled the great journey and had four signed prints - is this the one?

I also purchased from Titan exclusives and received the numbered card. Have not opened it yet to see if it has the signed lithos.

I noticed it was in stock there, but unfortunately I can't afford to buy it until I receive my refund, which will no doubt be next week *sobs* and knowing my luck, they'll be out of stock then :/

I fucking hate this. xx

I did get mine & it was sealed but a very little kink in the spine.
Mine was numbered (315) not only on the back of the book but had the sticker 315 on the outside.
I saw on this site another one numbered around 800 so i think even at the cost (£60) they went like hot cakes.
I will not be opening it & i would buy the std Ed if wished to look inside.

Also talking about damage has anyone brought collector's guide books from Amazon?
Have any been all busted up?
I have sent 3 back over the last few months for replacement.
Left packaging feedback but no reply (same with a few games) given?

My wife said that they forced one though our letter box!
Asked the postman few days later & the reply was "only have x amount of time per door set time per round" no wonder you see them near running!
No more stopping for tea whatever would Postman Pat think it?

Last think, tried to buy 2 Skyrim collector's guide books from the book Depository, 1 came, asked for a ETA for the second told sorry on it's way. Then few days later received a std e-mail to say refunding the cost of the second!
No sorry just blanket response, they are all at it!

Seems accurate. Only 17 available for pre-order now.
