Ok, I got my 2 boxes from Skybound today. I paid 10 bucks for 1 day priority shipping since it was the only option I could pick and yet I get it 3 days later. Anyway, so I open the shipping box to examine the boxes and one box is fine with sharp edges, but the second box has a nice ding on it. It's a big enough ding that I feel like it damaged the top left corners of at least 3 to 4 books, and what do you know, WD #1 is the second to last book. Now my dilemma is do I open it to check for golden ticket and B/W variant and risk it just being a damaged color set? Or do I open it regardless of what it is, to check the conditions of the books and if damaged contact skybound for a possible replacement? OR do I keep it sealed and ask skybound for a replacement and risk giving back a golden ticket?

Open it with your camera phone video recording it. IMO it doesn't look like enough damage that would affect books inside. Slight corner crumpling.

Prediction - The WD1 sells for $10,000. It is a 1 of a kind, after all, and unlike 9.9s, there can be only one, quote the Highlander.

Well the problem is these books are packed in the box from corner to corner. So there is very little room for them to move around to avoid that kind of ding. I can already tell at least 4 of the bottom books are damaged in the corner. I have four other boxes that I opened and saw how tight the comics are packed in the box.

Mine just got here today from skybound. There were two small holes in the plastic wrap on the top right cover and my guts told me that meant something. Something important.

 

Nope.

Well I opened my 2 boxes after weighing them. One was 796 grams and the other 793. I was like okay B&W set? A ticket? Results, the first one that weighed more, nothing regular colored set... then opened the other and the same again... color and nothing else....

 

That makes 0 out of 4 for anything...

 

2 more boxes coming. Someone tell me please they got the ticket so that I don't have to open the last 2 and sell them for a premium on fleabay...

Got an email that my box #26707 has been shipped! Let the waiting begin!

[krighton]

I think once they say it's shipped you have couple.more days till it actually ships

[Celvinsworld]

Yea, it always takes like a week to get trough Customs so I hope I'll receive it in like 2 weeks

[krighton]

if only Skybound packed as securely as Dre or Toast.

Just received my two boxes from the mailman. Opened up one box and no dice. The other box is for a friend.

Got mine, all color and no ticket. Wish they would have bagged and boarded these. Even though they were packed well most of the books have general edge and corner wear plus ink transfer from moving around in the box. Not really a good design for shipping. Little disappointing.
