Yup, seems like it's a collectors edition and not a limited edition.
According to John from 8-4, Fangamer will have more stock depending on demand; only the free digital theme is limited to this first run.

Maybe.
If they take a long time to sell out, I don't see why would bother with another run.

I don't know if it was ever advertised as limited: collector's edition yes though. Still they haven't reprinted shovel knight Vita
Yeah, I wouldn't take a reprint as a guarantee.
Just depends how long/fast these sell.
Shovel Knight took a long, long time so a reprint not worth it.

To be honest, I am really happy about this. Really didn't want to miss out on this game and I'm pretty sure the Vita version is becoming quite sought after sooner or later either way. Good decision and happy that Fangamer has picked this one up.
Youhouuuu ! That's the one I guessed when the "Big Game" tease was made
I hope it's this cause I really enjoyed the game (and yeah it was free on PS+ at some point but how to care ? ^^)
I also preordered Undertale, but that's going to end up super expensive. Collector Edition + Artbook = 84$. They're also using transporters, so we can expect huuuge import fees. Ouch
I just tell myself I have a huge fan at home so it's not as if I had a choice.
As of now, what's left :
- 1k Vita-CE
- 1.3k Vita
- 4k PS4-CE
- 6k PS4 left.
That's a total of 10K just for the PS4 : like you said we can expect this to take a while before selling out. I don't know if it will be as long as Iam8bit's 9000 Rez Infinite but possibly, especially since the shipping is soooo much more expensive.

Which is crazy (and sad), btw, since it's one of the best games available for the system.

I think it makes sense. The game already released physically on 3 other platforms, including the more popular handheld that it originally launched on. I feel like the Vita release was largely a nice gesture to its fan base.
On another topic, my prediction for the August 25th mystery JRPG is Asdivine Hearts. Makes sense in light of Doug's recent tweet.

Just so we have some posterity regarding the numbers I'll post all of what I had at the time:
10:57 AM CDT
["Collector's Edition PS4"]: 8652
["Collector's Edition PS Vita"]: 1883
["Collector's Edition PC"]: 3148
["PS4"]: 5049
["PS Vita"]: 1775
["PC"]: 2553
They added some PS4 regular copies in the meantime then ?
Collector's Editions are going down rather fast it seems.

Would love to get the Undertale CE but just can't justify the cost since it will very likely be hit with a customs charge and handling fee in the UK which would probably add another £20+ onto it. Never had any issues with that sort of thing with LRG which is why I can enjoy their releases without worrying about being hit with extras, Fangamer aren't as good for international customers and specifically state that customs costs will apply.
This kind of stuff makes me want to hold off on any Signature games. Buying them when they first release is a bad idea.
Not like they're expensive, it's worth it to me, specially with platforms like the Vita where they're unsure they'll move any stock for that one.
I got Aragami for $11 during an Amazon sale... This was several months ago, too.
Seems like they did.

Mine has gone astray too, although I've only just raised the ticket now so i can't comment on the customer service yet. Not great news for me, and not a good first experience if I'm honest as my tracking number doesn't work in any of the tracking links they send via email or list in their FAQ.

Do these guys ship to Canada? Interested in Slain. Also do they charge right away or when the item ships?
They ship to Canada I bought both Slain signature editions and preordered Yonder from them.
I know you're probably buying from there for the extras, but just in case, there is a normal physical edition being released here in Canada.

Did the conversion with the shipping, comes out to $30 CAD, on the fence now. Leaning towards no because I've already ordered so much this month.
yeah I did see the normal version on amazon, but I definitely do want those extras!

Put my Vita Undertale LE order in yesterday morning. Looking forward to finally playing this on Vita.
Also can't wait for Ys Origin Vita release. Is LRG still offering s LE for it?

I got hit with the customs and the handling fee on Shovel Knight (I think it was just over £11 in total), you'll be very lucky if you manage to get it through without being hit with charges. The alternative seems to be paying the more expensive shipping but it would cost you just as much anyway.

My Shovel Knight also got hit for customs. Ender up around £18 extra - £11 for RM's 'opening your package fee' and about £7 for the actual customs hit.
Frustrating, especially on a low ticket item like Shovel Knight that went for what, $30 originally?

Extremely pricey compared to similar indie games offered by other publishers. Will get the the normal editions instead.
Seriously, it has very little extra to justify the $30 markup on top of what Play Asia is charging for their releases.

They also have this game called The Bunker (PS4) up on the site: https://limitedrungames.com/collections/games/products/limited-run-67-the-bunker-ps4
Was this mentioned before? Apologies if it was.

Both boxes look wonderful, but the prices are too much for the additional content imho. I don't see any value in a folded poster for example.
Agreed. I'm really tired of the bloated collector's boxes in general.

I'm still waiting that they start shipping all my games on hold from the last months. Over two weeks seems a bit too long, or is this the usual timeframe at the moment?

I like the Wonder Boy reversible cover, I'll grab the regular version probably

I believe Josh or Doug mentioned something about one of their shipping guys falling ill, and then there was a delay because of the collectible cards or something else they wanted to add to the packages. So don't count on getting anything anytime soon. Also no need to worry imo.
Overall, I feel like their shipping times have only gotten worse over the last couple of months, despite them hiring dedicated personnel.

Oh, I thought it was "only" a support ticket guy, but it could be that, yeah.
Well, I have no hurry with the games, so no big deal, but I have to agree, even the shipments before didn't come faster than last year stuff despite all efforts. Atleast for me here in Germany.
I think it's still a thing they could improve alot.
It was one of the contact support crew that got sick, but I'm not sure if those are doing both contact support and shipping or if they hired a specific company to deal with the shipping.

They're still a very small company. I don't see how they could afford multiple people for both support and fullfilment, unless they're all part-timers or something.
I thought they had decided to take fullfilment back in-house after the mess that company they had hired had caused.
