Both comments make sense, my book crossed the world and nothing about the exclusive gift? Any comment?! Hide.

I have to agree with sardane. I was expecting a real wallet, but when I failed to see it in the box, I was suspicious. It was only when I opened the book that I saw the "gift". Feeling disappointed is a big understatement. Maybe I did not read the full description and did not know what I was getting. Since the original page has, in my opinion, been changed, there is no way to know for sure if the description given was accurate. As for the amount paid: 40 + 20 shipping + 13 in duty= 73 $. Expensive for a cardboard gift. Knowing that, I would have waited to get it on Amazon for cheaper.
As for the book, it looks beautiful... nothing negative to say about it. Hide.

We just received the book &the exclusive gift...
Is it a joke??? Can we talk about an exclusive gift??? A simple piece of cardboard?! Like a gift in a packet of cereals!

We are really frustrated... That's the first time with Weta, who is generally very good.
It seems we have been fooled thinking of the first preorder pictures and texts dealing with the Tintin replica wallet. Instead of receiving the replica of a real wallet, we received a piece of cardboard!

This is the more frustrating because we paid $40 the book + $20 the shipping to France + bank commission € to $ so a total amount of  $65 (48€)... Knowing that amazon.fr sells the same book for 30€ shipping price included, does it mean we paid 18€ more to have this exclusive and horrible piece of cardboard?

It does not affect the quality of the book, which is luckily very good, but it is very expensive for something not really exclusive! Hide.
