Well, I received today a
GW UK print and I wanted to know if it was a 3rd or a 4th print.
I looked to the foreign edition page on Acaeum. The box fits the 4th print. As for the rulebook, Acaeum states:
- Third UK print (Nov 1978)
48-page rulebook: Lizard logo in lower left, with "F116-R" in upper right and "*T.M. Reg. App. For" under the D&D logo; contains references to Hobbits (see bottom of page 11). The copyright page states "Second Edition, Nov 1978", and has both the Lizard logo and Games Workshop logo at the bottom of the page. Back-cover catalog does not have prices.
- Fourth UK print (1978?)
48-page rulebook: Lizard logo in lower left, with "F116-R" in upper right and "*T.M. Reg. App. For" under the D&D logo. References to Hobbits (see bottom of page 11) now changed to Halflings. The copyright page states "Second Edition, Nov 1978", and has both the Lizard logo and Games Workshop logo at the bottom of the page. Back-cover catalog is slightly expanded, and has prices in pounds sterling.
Here is my problem:
I already have a F116-R that exactly matches the Fourth print, with references to halflings and prices on back cover for each product.
In the UK box I received today, the F116-R book does have the reference to halflings (instead of hobbits) and matches the 4th print
BTW. However, the back cover does not have price! There is only one price for the last item: White Dwarf. No other prices listed.
Am I missing something? Sorry if I misunderstood the UK prints :/ Or is it a new print?
Here is some pics (the new one in the box, on the left; my previous copy that fits 4th print on the right)
