PHB Pages Falling Out.

Has anyone who bought a PHB have problems with the pages falling out? One of the players in my game said it is a known issue. I looked at the reviews on Amazon and there are several reviews saying they are having the same problem. I thought I could send back to Amazon, but it looks like I have to deal with Wizards directly. So damn lame for such an expensive book. I don't think I'll be buying any more products for this edition, but I'll still play.
I'm glad you said something about this. I've heard of this happening with 1 other person. He said, "he must of gotten a bad copy". He uses it more then your average player too. This was just a few weeks ago. I wouldn't think pages would be coming out of it already.
I think this is one of the main reasons for the delay of the DMG, since they wanted to rush the PHB out, some copies were made quickly and poorly. I think Wizards will supply your player with a free replacement.
I don't really use my physical copy that much, just the PDF. My philosophy is that of using ROMs (back in the day): I buy the physical product mostly to support the company and to alleviate any guilt about using pirated PDFs :)

Amazon's return policy is only good for 30 days so too late for that. Kurt said: I don't really use my physical copy that much, just the PDF. My philosophy is that of using ROMs (back in the day): I buy the physical product mostly to support the company and to alleviate any guilt about using pirated PDFs :) I like to have a physical copy for spells because in the B&W OCR copy floating around spells aren't searchable and quicker than using scroll wheel. In all former PHBs I've used I got really good at flipping open to the exact, or close, page I needed info on so eventually it would be quicker than using the "Find" tool. I do find myself using the MM PDF though since I have to search for info they didn't include in the stat block (epic fail). However, I've decided to get my money back for my MM before it is too late. All in all I'm just so hurt by this. I feel let down by the company I put hard work into play testing over a year for the "edition of the players". The system came out decent, but the delivery was a slap to the face. [Sorry for rant. Just a little peeved atm.]
Found this if anyone else has this happen to them: <a href="http://wizards.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_i" rel="nofollow">http://wizards.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_i</a>... Says they'll "include something extra to cover the cost of shipping". Hmm... I wonder what it will be? Kinda takes the edge off if it's something cool.
Just updating my thread. Mike Mearls actually personally emailed me back to my surprise. Said the obvious to contact customer service. I did and they didn't guarantee anything, but when they realized it was indeed on their end they sent me a replacement. The "something extra" mentioned above is $5 credit to dndclassics.com (their pdf site). Which I'd be excited about, but there is absolutely NO 5e content on there. I'd have to buy older edition or Next mods and convert them. Um... no thanks. Think I'll just stick to my homebrew content. Just to end it on a good note though I'm glad they replaced it and I'm not opening the damn thing ever!
Very cool!
fuck yeah man. Fuckin' how bad ass is that? Fuckin' Mike Mearls HIMSELF!!!!! responding to me in an email. Dude. ... I fucking love WIz now. I'm gobbling the cock, lol.
Although... since I play so much Neverwinter and I've read some of the mods for ToD and I'm a max level high GS PC for Neverwinter I can't help know some shit about Tiamat campaign. I hope I didn't ruin anything about Severin and Roth Modar. Dude he is a fucking traitor!!! FUCK Thay!!!
hahaha. yeah. it's ok - all in the RP. Never know how shit's gonna go down in tabletop :D
That is a surprise to have personal correspondents with Mike on that issue : )
