The various printings and combinations of printings of early Iron Crown materials make it very difficult to affix a print sequence. This boxed set appears to be the first time both Arms Law and Claw Law were issued together as a single product.

Although the various printings and combinations of printings make sequencing difficult, this boxed set definitely came after the edition listed above as indicated by the updated Maneuver Chart in Arms Law.

There are undoubtedly many printings of AL&CL available. This version has a product code in the upper right-hand corner of the cover and an early ICE products list in the back. The inside covers are glossy. This version also appears to be the first time that AL&CL appear together in a bound copy.

This version of AL&CL has lost the product code from the front and rear of the cover. The rear now sports a barcode along with the ISBN. The product list has also been revised. The inside covers are still glossy.

This version of AL&CL is considerably lighter than earlier efforts. The title page now sports "Printed in Hong Kong" on the bottom and the products list has re-formatted. Inside covers are no longer glossy.

Even though the title page sports a "2nd edition, 2nd printing," it is neither. This edition is easily differentiated by the new cover art and page count. A more reader-friendly incarnation, this version eliminates all of the old ICE scripts, replacing them with type. The product code of #1100 is now back on the front and rear covers.
