Website Reworking
Due the website expanding with more versions and a lot more due to be uploaded, as well as incorporating Albert's website, I am having to move files around to accomodate it all. This means that some links may not work for a while and if you see one, please let me know.
Whilst moving the Winning Moves "Custom" editions around, and with information from dedicated collector's I have found out that The Mary Rose edition has had a reprint.
This is the first reprint to bed added to the website (Sydney has also been added this evening) and any straight reprints will just be added to the original year. I can only find out this information from collector's, like yourself, and please let me know.

Given to the employees of Trip Advisor at Christmas 2014, this is the latest custom edition from Winning Moves.

As it is so new, there is not much information about it around but bookmark this page and I will put more information up when mine arrives.
