Turns out all sets are not created equal.
Some sets are all 1st editions & others are mixed.
1.Where did you get your set?
2.Did you get all 1st editions?
Also TARGET ads show black dust jackets on the sets.
YES or NO?
also according to the internet these TARGET sets are NOT for sale in the stores.
YES or NO?
Got my from Amazon. Arrived on the publication date. All are 1sts and have the white DJs.
Got mine from Amazon. My MM was not a 1st, it was a 2nd. FK and EoW were 1sts
Ditto this. Neat little set.Quote:

I have one on order from CD, but went ahead and ordered the Target version in case it is black. I will just return it if it comes white.
I'll report my findings when I receive it.
Received my replacement set and all 3 books were 1st/1st
That was quick. What reason (if any) did you give for the replacement?Quote:

I'm going to return mine as well now that I know there are sets of all 1sts and replace it. I'll continue this until I have a full set of firsts although it seems like MM is the only one this happens with so hopefully it will happen the first time around!
I agree. There are many whortless threads on this site.Quote:

Thanks. Looks nice.
What reason will you give for returning it?....I assume there was no guarantee that these would be 1st editions.Quote:

Me too. Mine should be here any day now. Will post an update unless someone else gets their before me.Quote:

Prime members get free 1 day shipping on this so they ordered the replacement yesterday and it arrived this morning.Quote:

Same here. I wish they sold these in store.Quote:

I'm interested to see if the Target version is black as well but I'll stick with the white regardless. Unless of course Target ends up being all firsts :rolleyes3:
I wonder what Amazon does with all of the opened returned books?
Do they get bulk remaindered to a 3rd party?
EDIT:
I think many items end up on Amazon's warehouse:

Always happy to help!

My US copy of End of Watch arrived dinged, Amazon sent me a replacement and told me I didn't need to return the original.Quote:
