Quoted from T7:

I just heard from my distributor that Stern is sold out of TWD LE's already. The distributor still has some, but is close to being sold out also. So if you're considering an LE, you may want to check availability.

Just ridiculous. Take out "TWD" and replace with ANY other of Stern's releases and the same thing could (and was) said within a week or even days of a new title announcement. Everyone (especially distributors) always pumping any given title.

Quoted from dantebean:

I have no idea why people thumb'd down OP. I find this to be interesting and not trolling or tread apon waters. Something I should know about OP?

I think people (including me) just get annoyed by the old "LE's are almost sold out!" claims that pop up on every new game. I think people waiting to see the actual gameplay are smart. Popularity of any given title can be meaningless. I look at the movie Avatar which was an incredible blockbuster smash hit ... but that LE gets very little appreciation (and there were only 250 made.)

Quoted from T7:

To reply to the people that gave this post a "thumbs down" - I viewed this post as a community service, because I have missed out on purchasing LE's in the past because they were sold out and my only option would be to pay a premium of $1000 or more to get one.

Or you could just wait an extra 6-12 months and buy a "used" one for about $1000 less?

Quoted from 2RustyBalls:

I'd bet they are selling out, everyone loves TWD! Before I ordered mine, I talked to the wife and she said order it! She wants to play it.

I've never watched a single episode and know nothing about it. I don't know anyone who is a fan actually. Considering the show is on cable and not network television ... I don't think it's quite as big as you think.

Quoted from goodgameslover:

Quite possibly. But if it's proven to be very popular like Tron, and indeed no premiums available, then 1000$ more?

That's exactly what Stern and distributors are constantly hoping people believe isn't it? But despite several very popular themes being released as LE's, Tron remains (at least for now) a rarity.

Quoted from gweempose:

It's the most watched show on cable, but obviously its audience pales in comparison to the big network shows like The Big Bang Theory, NCIS, etc ...

Yep, I agree. But TV shows in general ... have a very niche following. 16 million may have tuned in to watch the season 4 premiere of the show (TWD) .. but that doesn't translate into "everybody loves TWD".

Heck, 111 million tuned in to watch the Super Bowl last year .. but I don't think everyone loves football and I don't think a new football themed pin would sell all that great.

Quoted from poppapin:

You need to start watching from the beginning(season 1 episode 1) and you'll be hooked!! I guarantee!!

Zombies/gore just don't do a whole lot for me.
