Does anyone know why some Limited Run games sell out quickly while others are just sitting there?
For instance, Thomas was Alone was not that popular while Lone Survivor was popular.

Why do you think these will sell out quickly?  What's so special about these Shanta games?

Their site has been updated with the 2 Shantae games, and their order date is Oct. 28 (10:00 am / 6:00 pm EST as usual).

Seriously? That's another day I'll be busy and away from my computer. I swear, it's like LRG knows my schedule and they're all like, "Mufufufufu...let's see you get through this one, Kashell!"

But, I was able to order One Way on my phone so I should be good.

I am genuinely worried that this might be the game that breaks Limited Run's servers. It's definitely the most recognizable game they've published and because of the allure around the Gameboy game, I imagine it will go fast.

Can we talk about actually confirmed games as well?

Because OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD PERSONA 5 OH MY GOD
MMMNNNGGGGG
FREEZE ME AND WAKE ME IN FEBRURAY

Plus Nier: Automata I can't wait for and unless it turns out it isn't going to be dubbed after all BlazBlue: Central Fiction.

If we're talking things that haven't been announced, I'd love a HD rerelease of FF8 in the same vein of the one we had for FF7 a year or so ago. Not a remake, just a perfect rerelease of the game with trophies. I'd make it my mission to platinum it in a day.

Edit: Oh yeah, and The Elder Scrolls 6. We've been waiting since 2011 Bethesda. TESO doesn't count. C'maaaaan.

Personal 5! awesome artwork! I'm pre-ordering this one too!

I just got Shiren The Wanderer Series 20th Anniversary Hardcover Art Book and i'm a disappointed with it.
The box didn't look anything like a collector's item.  The colors are so faded.
Argh..

I'm looking for Dragon Fighter for the NES.

I'm just looking for the cart.
It doesn't have to be in perfect cosmetic condition, some slight scruffs are ok but preferably no major damage.

Let me know if you have a copy you're willing to part with, I know that the game is a bit rare and am willing to pay acordingly 

Why is this game worth so much and such a rare item?

I like to collect video games that will become "rare" or hard to find.  Everyone has their own interests.  I don't intend to sell them, or if I do, that would be my prerogative. 
Currently have the Zelda Gold Remote Bundle that I bought a couple years ago for $70.  And yes, I'm starting to read the forum.

Thanks

You never mentioned rarity, all you expressed was making money off of collectors editions.  If I'm not mistaken, that sounds like a scalper.  You know, target an online retailer and buy up copies of a limited edition game the second they become available, ceasing them from the legitimate consumer.  Then holding them at ransom across eBay for a reasonable profit.  Sure it's legal, you have the right, it's pretty damn immoral and everyone thinks they're a cancer to the community. 

It should be noted that I'm now aware you're talking about reselling rather than scalping, I'll assume you're referring to selling at a later date rather than on / before release

If you legitimately are in it for the games, you're doing a fine job avoiding showing interest in the games themselves.  Do you have any preference of games or franchises you collect?

I generally like Nintendo and Activision.  Back in the days I used to play a lot of Warcraft and Doom.  I still play games but not as much due to work. 
What kind of games do you like to play?

Anyone here buy collector's editions and sell them later on?
Are there upcoming editions that you think will sell out and worth a lot more?

Welcome to the site, didn't hesitate to get into the forums huh

No, I don't do that and I pretty sure we don't have anyone on VGCollect who is into such a practice.  I believe that a lot of us shop by games and franchises that we're interested in, not by 'How much money it will make me'.  If I didn't know any better, I'd say you've described a scalper.
