How are we feeling? What are your thoughts?

So now that the special edition that everyone lost their minds over is in hand how are we feeling knowing that everything that was supposed to make it special edition isn’t special? Outside of the sprayed edges majority of the special edition art found in the book isn’t even original. It is reused art that came out around 2019 that’s been slightly altered. Why push a book launch and then sacrifice everything that was supposed to make it special? I’m sure fans would have preferred to wait a little longer and actually get original art.

What are your thoughts? Not trying to hate I’m genuinely curious.
