What is a "Target"?
it really true that they're changing the front cover after the first batch?
The Red Box will still be red, but the 80's logo and artwork will be replaced by the modern equivalents.
I imagine the retro version will only be sold in FLGSs, for the nostalgia value

That depends on whom you count as being "official."Do we have confirmation on this from anywhere? (I've heard it said a bunch of times around here, but never by anyone "official")
. . . and there's an image in his original post . . .CharlesRyan said:I've just received the WotC solicitation for the Red Box, or more properly, the Dungeons & Dragons Fantasy Roleplaying Game--the new starter version of D&D releasing this Autumn. If you've played D&D for a while, you probably recognize this cover and the "Red Box" moniker: They hearken back to the introductory boxed set in print in the early 80s, which launched many a gamer's game-playing career.
. . . and then, later in the post, he says:CharlesRyan said:(Compare this image to the one in my earlier post, and you might notice it's different. This one is literally the original cover, with only (as far as I can tell) the WotC logo as a change. The other one evoked this version, but had new art and a retro-styled 4E logo. Both came from official WotC sources, but this is what's on the solicitation, so I think it's the most accurate.)
CharlesRyan said:The retro cover will only grace the first print run of this product; later print runs will have a more modern look that matches the style of the Essentials line products.
