Quoted from RTS:I suspect it's because of changes in priorities for those pre-orders.
Nothing to do with the game. Just coincidental that the priority changes coincide when the games finally started to ship and more people played it.
Agreed, there have been quite a few WTB posts lately. Priorities change when you've been waiting 2 years for something, and I would wager $7-$8K is not spare change to most folks in here. There are also folks looking forward to Star Trek and want to possibly get in on an LE there.
I missed out on this one, but hopefully secured a closer lead to a WOZLE. Now I just need to find a super low priced Twister to join Whirlwind for the meteorologist's trifecta (and no, Hurricane is not a weather themed pin).
