I returned it and bought another one from a different local AD. I got all three cards and all the rest of the goodies. The bracelet still has the plastic and the case back still has the sticker, all serial numbers match up. There is one difference however. The Instruction booklet in the new one is a paperback, the other one was a hard back. Anyone have any insight into that?
