Kent (hyrulebalverine) | 290 comments I believe that these two listings
The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains: Oddball Criminals from Comic Book History
and
The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains: Featuring the 50 Strangest Supervillains in the History of Comics
are the same edition of this book.
The second listing appears to mostly have the right information (such as ISBN and ASIN), but the first listing has the correct title and page count (the last numbered page is 125, but there are 3 more pages after that). Loot Crate didn't release two versions of this book (certainly not at the same time).
These two listings should be combined/merged.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments There is a librarian note on the Oddball one: "do not combine with other versions -> see number of pages and the size:
this edition was condensed for a Loot Crate exclusive in October 2016"

Scott | 8828 comments Loot crate exclusives are probably not valid for GR anyway.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments I leave it in your good hands. ;-)


message 5: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8828 comments Will likely require a superlibrarian.

Kent (hyrulebalverine) | 290 comments I saw that one was listed as 125 pages and one said 128, which is why I mentioned that the page numbering stopped at 125 but there were 3 more pages after that did not have page numbers (one of which was blank). I don't doubt that Loot Crate might release two versions of this book, but not at the same time.

Kent (hyrulebalverine) | 290 comments Also I think that the note you mentioned is because the Loot Crate edition is an abridged version of the actual book. I'm specifically referring to two listing of the Loot Crate edition.


message 8: by Kent (new)

Kent (hyrulebalverine) | 290 comments Is there an update on this?


message 9: by Kent (new)

Kent (hyrulebalverine) | 290 comments Bumping for update


message 10: by Kent (new)

Kent (hyrulebalverine) | 290 comments Bumping again for an update.

David Raz (davidraz) | 12924 comments I don't know if Loot Crate exclusive editions should be added. This is something to be discussed at Policies & Practices.
For now, since there is one edition with a valid ISBN and one without, I merged the redundant edition.
I did not combine following previous librarian comment.
