Just had a great chat with an Italian collector, Andrea, who shared this with me:

"Italian editions of the G&W are a standard package. The importer has only applied his seal-sticker of guarantee on the box. Instructions and various sheets are written in English.

Examples:

- OTO Release: www.pixelageworld.it/sites/default/files...oll/img/DSC02429.jpg

- Giochi Preziosi (Old Sticker Seal) Release:

- Giochi Preziosi (New Sticker Seal) Release: www.pixelageworld.it/articolo/unboxing-g...endo-giochi-preziosi

That's not 100% correct.

I had Lifeboat from Giochi Preziosi, and it had Italian instructions (with green and black font) in addition to the English ones.

And I suppose that OTO also released the games with Italian booklet and guarantee.

In fact, if you read the OTO sticker, it reads "includes Italian manual and guarantee card".

PS: from my memory: OTO was the old importer (red-white sticker), then came Giochi Preziosi (gold sticker)

That's interesting. As mentioned, my insights came from the Italian collector.

I'm from Italy too, I'm a little bit familiar with this matter.

I see. Thanks for sharing :ok2:
