Forgive me if this is old news or has already been discussed on another thread. I searched the forums and couldn't find this question addressed anywhere.

My husband recently returned from a business trip which, lucky him, left him with a bit of time to wander around Disneyland for a bit. While he was there he stopped by Sam's and ordered a Shipwreck. He asked the bar tender what edition the mugs were and was told that they were second edition. He could tell that this one was different from the first edition we already had so he purchased it and brought it home.

When we were examining it at home we discovered that even though it is vastly different from the one we already had, both of these mugs are labeled as "1st edition."

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

As you can see these are more than a little different, but they are both the same edition. Does anyone know why this would be? Is there a real 2nd edition Shipwreck might out there somewhere?
