I just received both of my CCse's last week and they are numbered #1437 and #1438. So it would appear they have built a lot more than 500 CCses already, if or since the numbers are sequential. At least in my case. I am sure they will sell out. This is a fantastic game, I owned the original and this one is much improved. The "purists" might balk, just like many do about restored versus original but in this case, anyone who really feels that an original CC is better than any version of the remake is saying that because a) they have never played the remake or b) they haven't sold their OEM game yet!
