Title: Armor Wars No. 1/2 Custom Edition
Missing Issue: #1/2
Country: USA
Publisher: Marvel
Publication Years: 2015
Cover Price: n/a
It was part of the Secret Wars series and I believe it was a Toys R' Us giveaway. I think there are 2 covers a regular and a B&W.

Today I also attempted to add Armor Wars issue #1.5, but was denied and informed it is already in the database. If so, I cannot find it. Please supply a link so I may add it to my collection. Thanks.

I don't find it under anything. #1/2 issues are listed as "0.5" (so use that for the search box), and it's not under that for Armor Wars (or the regular title that Basement comics noted), Secret Wars (any, including battleworld, which is where it probably should be, Journal etc), or just Secret 0.5, Wars 0.5, Toys R Us etc.
Yes, there are 2 editions, 2nd one is a Black & White 'sketch' cover. Bleeding Cool shows both. Every place I see it listed calls it Armor Wars #1/2, or Secret Wars: Armor Wars #1/2 (tried that with and without the colon on here too) and it's on amazon, that auction site, comics.org (no pics tho), mycomicshop etc..
info: 2015 Toys R' Us Variant. Written by James Robinson. Art by Mark Bagley, Scott Hanna and Andrew Hennessy.
As per Bleeding Cool article from 2020, https://bleedingcool.com/comics/obscure-comics-secret-wars-armor-wars-1-2/ :
(Marvel Announcement 2015): "Beginning May 3, Toys"R"Us Customers Can Receive SECRET WARS: ARMOR WARS #1/2 as a FREE Gift with Purchase as Part of the Company's Immersive Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron Retail Program....customers will receive a complimentary "SECRET WARS: ARMOR WARS" #1/2 comic with any Marvel purchase of $25 or more from Sunday, May 3 through Saturday, May 9, while supplies last."
Value noted at the time: "..with copies ranging from $4 to $15 depending on condition."
Sketch cover info: "The origins of the Sketch Variant seem muddled, but it seemed to show up and was sent out to Diamond retailers on a limited basis under Diamond code FEB158108. Toys R' Us did not have them...but this rarity has not made the value much higher as copies of the Sketch Variant can be obtained for $5 to $20 on secondary markets, again depending on condition."
It's a PRELUDE to Secret Wars: Armor Wars.
Attached pics of both below. that should be enough for CPG to add it.
