Quoted from Adipocere:None of the editions will sell out. Wait for reviews, a chance to play it if possible, and especially wait to make sure they don't ship with defective playfields. With JJP releases, you do not have to worry about missing out (unless its POTC, and people only missed out on that because nobody bought it when it came out).
The problem with pirates when it was released was that it should have been dialed in. They just seemed late to the pirates party.
