@TalonMan same for Signature Edition Games Yonder.... that’s only 500. two things hurting it
1. Not promoted as a US Version originally
2. Doesn’t appear to come in a box and is not a true CE
Yonder is only getting a 500 release, too? I didn't see that noted anywhere on their site...? Although, at least for that one, being that it's PAL only I can understand the smaller draw to it - ShaqFu, on the otherhand, has a US option (and a 5% chance for an autographed copy). Just seems weird to me with the volume of insane collectors out there for the Switch, that this one would still be hanging around...

The option to select a US versus Pegi version was not available when I purchase it.... only T-Shirt size.
Yonder went up with 500 copies and has about 200+ left

How do you know what the inventory is and what's left?? I don't see it anywhere on their site...??
@TalonMan you are a world class web developer you know how. View the source code.... on Shopify sites it shows....search for inventory or inv. You will see the amount remaining. LRG got hip to it once a couple people kept twitting the Thimbleweed numbers so they start with false numbers now for the pre-orders. When Shaq went up I purchased when it was 498

LOL!!! I never would have actually thought to look in the source!!! That's FANTASTIC!! Ha! Ha!!!

That's awesome - I see that Shaq is down to about 25 US left, and about 60 PAL... ...EXCELLENT future knowledge!!
Edit:
And for added bonus - Human Fall Flat (about 500) and Flame in the Flood (about 300)

You have now entered the Matrix. I’m not so sure about Super Rares numbers.... I think they may have drop stock because they had a large drop one day. Not sure but a hunch. But yeah it’s cool to make informed decisions
I'm sorta surprised with only 500 copies available, that ShaqFu CE is still available. Even at $120 or so, it's still a small enough production run to justify, no?
For me it was just that there was nothing special about it other than the small print run. The game and case is the exact same as standard which is $40, so you’re basically paying $85 for a bag, a hat I don’t want, a shirt I don’t want, and a vinyl I’ll never listen to. Just not worth it to me

I don’t want the crap either lol but always a hope it comes in a large sealed box ..,, if not off to the sales bin.
I have to agree...the price they ask for the Shaq Fu is absurd. I don't feel the price justifies what you get. If it was a guaranteed autograph copy, then maybe...but in my opinion, this is the definition of a poor LE. Lower that price and we will talk...but at the price it is now, no way.
SMRPG was a prime example of a great CE...and at only $80! I feel what I get is worth it more. Granted, it's not clothing and I refuse to open those figures, but I will get more enjoyment out of it than I would the Shaq Fu one.
Safe to assume that the next few LRG releases will have CEs as well? Anybody find any details?
I’m going to assume, at least for now, that all of their switch releases will get CEs. The only games I know they have announced that haven’t been released now are Slime San and Night Trap
It'd be nice to see LRG employ an 'every-other-month' release schedule between their PS4/Vita and Switch titles. Today, SMRPG for Switch. June would be a PS4/Vita release. July would be Switch, and so on. I think their customers would be receptive to that (I know my wallet would love it).
I agree completely. I can’t keep up financially so I chose to break the “gotta have them all mentality” with SMRPG since it’s not my thing. For me, it’s better the cycle ends now than 6 months from now on their 13,534 Switch release when I can no longer justify buying every release.
From what I can tell from forums, lots of PS4 collectors arevexhausted from the sheer volume of their games and their release schedule.
2 games monthly is intense.
Not going to happen.... they have to feed the machine they created. With 15+ employees and a bunch of titles signed up even before the switch rolled around they are going to ride it till the wheels fall off. The range will be 12-24 a year from them (closer to 24) for switch games. They are the largest publisher of individual titles on playstation and soon will be on the switch. What they need to stop is doing a CE for every other game they publish.... that’s the real heart burn. Along with printing reverse covers and sealing them both ways to make collectors feel they have to get both. Until people vote with their wallets this madness will continue. For example if you are a PS4, Vita and Switch hardcore variant collector you would have had to buy 13 games today!
Antiqua 4
SMRPG 3
CSH 6
Crazy
Oh I didn't expect them to do the 'every-other-month' approach. That's just my wishful thinking that won't come true.
Yeah, the factory-sealed reversible variant covers are annoying. Just do one reversible cover and call it good. That's just a (greedy) money-grab tactic.
So is that going to be LRG's approach for Switch titles? Two per month? One mid-month and one end-month for the rest of the year (to get to 24)? If so, that's going to be absolutely brutal.
I want to update everyone on something...I contacted PlayAsia support about the U.S. physical on Little Nightmares. They confirmed it was NOT cancelled and had even shipped a copy to a customer. Furthermore, they even linked to the U.S. copy they show on their site and asked if I was talking about that one.
Well folks, I am taking a Gamble and have placed an order for a copy. I know it's going to take a few weeks BUT if this truly is a U.S. copy, this could be a very rare title down the road. Unless gamestores and retailers pick it back up, if this is the only way to get a version, then I believe it'll be highly sought after.
I will keep everyone updated on the game, especially when it arrives. If it is a U.S. release, trust me I will let everyone know. Let's keep our fingers crossed!
