Quoted from explosiveegg:What about American? They announced a 300 run LE for Legends of Valhalla, when that sold too quickly they decided to almost double the number.
I had my deposit in an a LOV Deluxe within 30 minutes of the launch. I was super excited to get the game and support the project/company. After they flip flopped, and increased the numbers, I dropped my order. Now there are deluxe editions available for purchase all over the place. AP played that one wrong.
I’ll never say never, because a game may come along I just have to have, but I’ll most likely never order an AP Deluxe edition now. Why would I? Half the reason to order it, is because it’s exclusive and rare. If they can just change something after announcement, I can’t trust them.
The same holds true here with CGC. If they end up offering up the toppers to SE owners, that’s totally their choice and they have every right to do it. Will I scramble to buy the next LE though? Most likely not. Why would I?
After pulling this card, they may sell out of the next LE, sure. But most likely just if they launch in the next year or so. Once the pinball supply picks back up, and you can go buy all sorts of different NIB games because they’re finally in stock, people may rethink their CGC LE purchase if there isn’t anything really exclusive about it. I certainly will.
People are looking at things right now in this little crazy window of time where everything sells out instantly. This isn’t normal. This will change. As a company, you need to keep this in mind. A customer’s perception or your company and perception of the exclusiveness of an LE is incredibly important.
