Ha, you're the only person I know who consistently buys multiple  of the same LE ha.  ;)

I probably would, too, for the right game and if I had the money and space for it.  As it is, I don't have space for the single collector's editions I'm already buying.

I pre-ordered SMT: Soul Hackers today. Seemed necessary.

I like to think every SMT game is basically mandatory, but then, I'm also convinced that anyone who isn't a Megaten fan must be converted to the cause.

I feel the same way. Then again, they typically fit right in with my personality.

Eh...I actually *don't* do it for anything even close to every one -but- I'm pretty good at (by now) knowing pretty much the ones that are almost certainly going to rise to double, triple, etc their original prices...the 'worst' I've ever done on one is to break even.

Pretty much, what profits I make like this = the amount of $ I spend on my own collection & future speculations.

*Keeps kicking self in ass for missing-out on the Wizard's Edition*  :'(

PS

There's also been a lot of times (like w/ Darko recently) where I wind up using extra copies (AT COST...*NOT* doubled *cough*Scott*Cough*:)

...helping out friends who may have missed-out on something :)

Oh, I know...I didn't take it personally or as anything other than joking around :)

No worries, we're good  ;)

Oh yeah...I got my own *THING* named after me now (which, I must admit to kinda' liking:) - so no reason for me to be anything but happy about it  8)

Ha, I figured. We're all a bunch of smart asses here.

Oh and I'm currently waiting on a new addition to my Castlevania collection. I flipped some money I've made off of selling Saturn games into a cart only copy of Kid Dracula for Famicom! Now all I need to do is make my copy of Gyromite into a proper Famicom converter.

I'm definitely glad I was able to get the Wizard's Edition when I did - I have to thank VGC for that as I probably wouldn't have even known about the game otherwise.  And I feel really bad that you didn't get the Ni No Kuni LE, esp after they had the "second wave" of sales.  Really, really unfortunate for many people.

In any case, I'm thankful that I have one in my possession while watching its price skyrocket.    I have other LEs that are doing ok (ex: Skyrim, Persona 4 Golden, Virtue's Last Reward), but the whole craziness of Ni No Kuni is insane.  People are selling just the plushie for $50, even...

But yeah, I hear ya - sometimes I buy additional copies in case any of my friends wanted it but weren't able to get a copy.  For instance, I gave a friend one of my VLR watches since she wasn't able to purchase the game when they were still coming bundled with that bonus.

Add Etrian Odyssey [NA] to my list of things I'm waiting for... Amazon relisted it as available directly from them w/ free 2 day shipping for Prime members. So I snatched it up. Yea, I totally caved for artwork.  :(

Ya, and I'm gonna take Darko's advice and play through my EU version while leaving the NA one sealed. Then maybe I'll sell off the EU one after all the reprints are gone.
