There are two entries for this game with a reversible cover. I've submitted Cover Art / Back Art / Game title corrections for one of them already.
As far as I know, separate entries for items like this are created since these items are packaged with both covers outward-facing, with the version someone receives being random. Many collectors never open LRG, etc. products, so separate entries are a means of differentiation. Had these items had been released with one standard outward cover with the reversible cover never packaged outward-facing, it'd be different. There are other entries for items just like the one you're mentioning with the same circumstances.
Multiple references to the
same item seems like inflation to DB imo ... I feel like I do it more justice with the Cover Art / Back Art / Game title corrections, but those are still pending. The blurb about the "...cover is reversible ..." and "..randomized from factory .." have not been removed from the Product description, so in my eyes, the one combined-updated listing should still satisfy those LRG collectors that you mentioned.
If there are other entries for items like these that exist, and I happen across them... I'll update them with further accuracy as needed. Imo, if 2 items in the db are exactly the same (i.e. all the same details, ex.
item #, barcode #, etc), and they're just shipped with whatever-side of the reversible cover as 'outward-facing', then those 2 products should be merged -or- update one, then delete the other. Naturally, the final decision is left up to the mods and db admin on accepting/rejecting the submitted changes, and to instruct us how they want these products added when the scenario occurs.
