Quoted from MikeS:LE price is temporary as well because if Premiums were readily available NIB for $9K most buyer's would opt for those instead.
How is it temporary? I can’t think of a single LE that has gone down in price - regardless of availability of Premiums.
I paid over MSRP on 1/2 of my collection. Sucks - but I either pay it or someone else will.
Quoted from MikeS:It's a recent phenomenon since the start of the pandemic and is due to supply chains and recent increase in demand. Maybe it becomes the new normal but 2 years ago it wasn't the case where all LE's increased in price. Most could be found for less than NIB price 6 months after release. My point is that if people could order and get any Premium game within a month, LE prices wouldn't be as high as they are currently. The current pricing phenomenon isn't unique to LE machines is all I'm saying. Whether this is temporary or permanent will remain to be seen. Out of principal I won't be paying more than MSRP on recent releases and I've purchased 2 NIB since Christmas. I'm perfectly happy waiting for new games at MSRP and don't feel the need to pay thousands extra to have it now.
Used Pros and Premiums could be found under MSRP pre-2020. Good LEs (AC/DC, Tron, GB, etc) have always been increasing in value since release (albeit at a slower rate pre-2020). Decent LEs (ST, TWD, etc) hovered around MSRP forever until recently. Only the meh LEs would temporarily go under MSRP.
I doubt there is a large contingent of people that can’t find a Godzilla so they opt for an LE, thereby contributing to the inflated LE prices. The prices are inflated because there are simply a *LOT* more people in the hobby and many like chasing the rarity of the LEs. Therefore the availability of Pro/Prems are irrelevant to LE pricing IMO.
