I like the reversible cover on TMNT. Very nostalgic. That said, I wouldn't ever buy something from LRG that is going to be at retail.

It's fine that LRG offers something like Route, but it's ridiculous that it's added automatically to cart. I've even seen it re-added to cart after I removed it. I almost didn't catch it as I knew I had just removed it!

Yeah they are scumbags for how they implemented route.

 
@Shipping protection markup costs... what, paying for overpriced cardboard and knock-off Amibos on a styrofoam plate needs additional up charges for insurance?

@Miku VR, rumor is we're getting Miku MegaMix for PC tomorrw, May 26, 2022, so that would be rad.  Sad US never got a physical release; that being released, with all DLC, on one cart, would be a real win.  I'd pay a premium for that, even.  But the VR only game and only the minimal content?  Only simps (LRG or Miku) would fork that over... (and I own a lot of the releases, so I'm throwing cinder blocks in my glass house).

@Burning DVD-Rs... lol.  And I like how the one comment on Twitter says most folks don't know because they never open their games. :bouncy:

If LRG offers the CE, I will 100% be buying it from them. Right now, I have it pre-ordered through Amazon who will end up shipping it in a plastic bag and I'll have a 1:1000 chance of it not arriving damaged.

 
Holy fuck.  My Bloodrayne order just shipped so now I only have 1 open order with LRG.  I've been cutting back but I was going to maybe place a order for Contra.  Now I just want to hold off just so I can have a moment where I have zero orders waiting to be fullfiled lol.

I wasn't aware Amazon had a pre-order page for Shredder's Revenge yet. Can't seem to find it, only the one for the Cowabunga Collection.

 
Yeah I have to love, love a game to want a CE/LE. If it's like $10 more I may just get that edition, but in LRG's part they can be a lot more expensive. I generally value a few things in LEs (full soundtracks, full art books, and plushies), but those are so rare I rarely get them. Frankly they just take up more room, and a lot of the times the things in the LEs/CEs are just not worth it.

 
Well, LRG got a sale from me regarding Mercenaries Blaze.  I collect SRPGs, so having that one, since I have the other two releases, is a no brainer.

I think its weird they have to call out its not part of the numbered releases, though. 

Like, who is worried about "Missing out on this release will not compromise a complete Limited Run set."

I can't believe they are doing open preorder on American Hero. A canceled Jag CD game. If they sell over 500, I'd be shocked.

Trust me. You really don't wanna know those people.

I'm getting a copy, I like FMV games. Sure it looks bad, but a fun bad. At least to me. Half the fun in FMV games is the cheesy bad acting.

 
Anyone else just sick and tired of LRG at this point? Their collector’s editions are straight garbage and horribly overpriced.

I like cheesy FMV games too, but not "$45 and six-month wait" like them. I'll just pick them up for $10 on a PSN sale and make a night of them with friends.

And the CE is laughable; $30 premium for a keychain, a folded poster, and a pen?

In all fairness most of their CE's are laughable now. Horribly overpriced with a bunch of cheap filler. I would be really interested in the sales numbers on some of their garbage CE's. Maybe 50 actual people that buy the CE and another 50 for Doug, Josh and the LRG staff to have for free?

 
Just ordered as well. I also just ordered Wings and Saga on eBay. I have never played this series and just spent $150 on 3 physical copies. I don’t know why I did what I just did.

I just wish instead of these FMV games I have no interest in just announce Knights of the Old Republic 2 on Switch so I can pair it with Contra Collection. I know they are going to release it physical. They done all the Asypr games so far.

Right? And none of the included goodies have high MOQ either. Pens and posters are cents in pretty much any quantity, and the keychain is acrylic. My guess is around 250 across all platforms.

There is a spreadsheet in their Discord with the print quantities, but others have questioned whether it's accurate: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ko7iYqZDcr5Leq6I_1byupsVcyFjFZDYItTK5qhOwxk/edit#gid=203011349

If it is accurate, there's some surprising stuff from the recent releases. Outside of a few big hits like Star Wars, Shantae, and RCG0 it looks like they don't sell that much above MOQ for most of their releases.

Laughable now? When were they not? I know there is the occasional CE that I'd consider to be better than others, but most of the time the box is the biggest selling point. Otherwise, it's enamel pins that commemorate something, folded posters that use the two pieces of key art the licensor allowed, maybe little acrylic standees, and coins. The only "regular" CE item that I don't consider junk is the soundtracks and maybe steelbooks.

The contents are often like a low end "prize" at Chuck E Cheese.

I would put stuff like Scott Pilgrim/Castlevania/Street Fighter in a different category, but those are sure priced accordingly. When "junk" is $70-$80, the higher quality items are sure going to be way more.

 
Is there really a must have CE? Ignoring future value, DLC and things you subjectively like, what release, if any, would you qualify as an edition you absolutely would tell anyone to get over the regular version?

I can only think of nice to haves over must haves. Ni No Kuni 1's spellbook is the only one I can think of but lol this isn't from personal experience because I haven't opened mine. No idea if the book really makes for a better experience.

As far as LRG CEs go, I still love my 'Streets of Rage 4' collectors edition, despite the dented steelbook LRG refused to replace, and everything else was great it in. For me, that's the best CE they ever made.

If most of their releases had a premium tier with an artbook/steelbook/soundtrack like a lot of first party Sony releases do, for only $10-20 more, that would be ideal. Of course the margins are paper thin, if that, with such low quantities.

 
The only CE's that catch my eye are ones that have something unique or relative to the game. The last CE I picked up from LRG was the Obra Dinn CE because it had the book that's basically lore from the game/strategy guide. I don't care too much about soundtracks, trinkets, action figures, pins, cards, etc. but if it's something unique I'm definitely at least giving it a second glance.

 
My bet is on them re-re-re-releasing the existing titles for Xbox over there being a new game. LRG and WayForward love milking the franchise.
