Got mine today. Love the little Portable Ops graphic on the packaging. Thanks a lot OP.
I just shipped every order right now! You should recieve yours today if not tomorrow.
So... update time.
UPDATE 5: ALL MGSV COVERS SHIPPED (Except for one order that I recieved while I was shipping them all).
All 250 orders have been fulfilled. Thank you all so much for being patient, and I hope you all love the final product!
I recieved one order an hour ago while I was at Canada Post so I'll ship that out tomorrow. Sorry!
See you all in my Motherbase!

Got a UK copy too. I'm currently trying to find a high-res version of the Shinkawa art so I can print it myself. I found this, but it's for PC/Xbox:
Checked my mail box and was disappointed to see nothing but bills, only to then find a sneaky looking package stamped with Big Boss proudly saluting at foot of my door.
The cover looks fantastic, especially paired with the Ground Zeroes recoverable, can't wait for next week. Thanks for doing this, I know my lazy ass wouldn't have. Really appreciate it, Shagg!
Would you happen to know the type of paper to print on for best results?Oh man! Thanks for the Xbox One pics. Looks stellar!
For folks asking for high resolution: go here to find all material: http://www.deviantart.com/art/MGSV-P...Made-546249708
Open PDF in Photoshop for beat result.

Found one with PS4 dimensions, but unfortunately it has the PS4 logo too:
Cover looks great. Hate I missed out on this. Guess I'll just have to find somewhere to print it out my self.
I do mine at Kinko's(or whatever they're called now). I'll have to do that myself for this, these covers look great.
What exactly do you select when you print? I've never printed anything like this at kinkos.
Just want to make sure I have the best cover possible.
came back to ask this. Kinkos is now fedex kinkos? I think I'll go to my local staples tho and get it printed.
Do I just tell them print it as is with 300ppi?
You are awesome, you have an awesome avatar, but why not include the full Shinkawa illustration? Not a critique, I'm just curious.More FAQ:
- How do I add the PS/Xbox logo on the covers?
-- Download the PDF files linked here: http://garymotherpuckingoak.deviantart.com/art/MGSV-PHANTOM-PAIN-Shinkawa-Cover-Fan-Made-546249708 , open in Photoshop and unhide the logo layers.
- What paper should I use?
-- 80lb cover/card stock is the preferred paper here. Make sure you have laser printer as inkjet may not print it that well.
- Is there any room for the bleeds in the PDF cover?
-- No. You will have to make sure you have room for bleeds, and cut accordingly. If needed, you can create bleeds as per your printing company preference/requirement.
- Are you going to be printing more covers for PS4?
-- I am not sure. I still have an abundance of covers for PS3, 360/PC and XB1 lying around. Honestly, I didn't make any money off this (Total paid for shipping: $1,500 CAD. Total paid for printing: $500 CAD. Total spend on packaging: $150 CAD. Total payment received: $1,700 CAD. Total profit/loss: -$450 CAD) so I am not sure if I will take more hits. I still have some more PS4 covers lying around (around 80), but there are still a lot of folks who haven't received their shipment yet, so until I'm certain everyone's order is fulfilled and not in a limbo, I won't release those covers yet.
- What's your current stock count?
-- PS4: 80; PS3: 470; XB1: 430; PC/X360: 460.
- Have you shipped my order yet?
-- All orders are shipped. There are some folks who still haven't received it. I hope you all receive it soon!! There are folks who's order was the first to be shipped but they haven't received it, and I'm sorry for that! I hope that package finds a way!
- When should I start panicking about my orders?
-- Please give it another week or two if your package doesn't arrive. I hope Canada Post get their shit together and start driving faster. Please PM me if you don't get your package by 4th of September and I'll accommodate accordingly.
- How do I repay you?
-- Add me on PSN and save my FOB base from being invaded by enemies and combatants! PSN ID: shagg_187

Seriously. Thank you all for being part of something fun and exciting. I'll try to respond to all PMs and emails! Thank you all, and keep on sneaking! <3

I'M PANICKING. Kidding, thank you, Shagg. I haven't bothered you with a PM about my shipping because I know how long international shipping can be and I seriously don't want to add yet another letter to reply into your already long list.
On the cover? Lack of HQ image I belive.You are awesome, you have an awesome avatar, but why not include the full Shinkawa illustration? Not a critique, I'm just curious.

Yeah, I don't even know where Kindekuma got the HQ design from. I've only seen it present in the steelbook editions.

Full illustration on my avatar, or the cover?
(I didn't design the cover btw. I believe the idea for the cover was that it needs to compliment the reverse cover for Ground Zeroes).

thanks guys. Well, you did a lot of good/ hard work. Thank you.Hell I don't even remember where I found such a high quality version of it. I did a lot of reverse image searches and whatnot.
The reason I chose the placement is that I wanted to, like what shagg said, to compliment the GZ cover. I've played with many different variations of the placement of the artwork but what I liked the most was represented on the final product.
