Misprint in Field Guide & Textbook

Hi, I just want to share that I found a "misprint", or rather mistake in formatting on pages 12 - 13 of the Field Guide & Textbook. I was looking for an answer related to Schematics and found that the section "Team gears" on page 13 is missing the entire part with activation, slotting etc. and found it added by mistake to section "Scrap to reprogram" on page 12. I checked it with the electronic version of the rulebook for Wave 2 here on BGG and confirmed it definitely is a mistake. I took a photo of my rulebook showing what is actually going on: http://imgur.com/a/F3Smg

I actually wrote a ticket to Riot Games support, but they replied that they are unable to do something about it themselves and I should report the mistake here.

I purchased the game from official Riot Games merchandise distribution as a part of Wave 2 (my number is 11836). A replacement of this Textbook would be great and very much appreciated, but I am not entirely sure, if it is possible before Wave 3 (next print session) takes place.

After comparing with my W1.5 rulebook, I can tell you that the "Team Gears" section is in the right place. The header and first paragraph of the "Schematic Cards" section is missing. It should be in the gap on the bottom left of your page 12.

I doubt Riot will send out updated rulebooks for free. The misprint has no real consequences, as the appropiate section is also in mission two or three (-ish). If they keep up their past support level, there'll be a rulebook update with any/all fixes available as a .pdf. Expecting Riot to send out a few thousand rulebooks seems a bit overkill.

Once upon a time, misprints in collectibles actually added value to them. Maybe you would be best off polybagging the rulebook and selling it in 10-20 years, when Rito owns the gaming industry and no one believes that they can make mistakes.
