Note from Jay at Rio Grande:
"We have just received Galaxy Trucker as expected. Unfortunately, the company that loaded the games loaded them incorrectly and we are seeing a large number of VERY small damages to the boxes. The damage consists of a small (1/2" to 1") minor crease along one of the smaller sides of the box. In most cases, I would imagine these to be not significant to you or your customers, but I wanted to alert you to the issue.
We plan to ship these without consideration of this minor crease due to the fact that many players have been long waiting for the game and we expect will not notice or consider this to be a problem.
I can say that as the second shipment has already left our warehouse in Germany, it is very likely to have the same problem. Thus, waiting for the next batch in the hopes the problem will be gone is not likely to produce the results you would want by doing so.
We apologize for the problem and ask for your understanding.

Corporation Incorporated is an interplanetary construction firm that builds sewer systems and low-income housing on the less-developed planets of the Galaxy. For years, Corp Inc. has tottered on the brink of bankruptcy: transporting building materials to the edge of the Galaxy, where the need for their services is greatest, is a risky business.
The company was saved by a few visionaries on the board of directors. Instead
of shipping materials to the Periphery, they reasoned, why not build the materials into spacecraft and let them ship themselves? Furthermore, why hire pilots if there are nut-cases who will do it for free?
That’s where you come in. Just sign the contract, and you gain unrestricted access to a Corp Inc. Warehouse. Build your own space ship from the available prefabricated components, and fly it to the Periphery. Of course, you may have to eat a loss, but any profits you make along the way are yours to keep, and Corporation Incorporated will pay you a bonus for quick delivery.
It’s possible that you will end up with an insurmountable debt and finish your days panhandling on the streets of Deneb III, but if Lady Luck should smile upon you, you just might find yourself among the 10 billion richest people in the Galaxy!
