Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Exclusive Edition

Platform: Xbox 360 Edition: Exclusive Edition Format: NTSC
Published by EA
Released in United States on Feb 07, 2012 at a price of $275.00

The Exclusive Edition is identical to the Signature Edition except instead of the included numbered McFarlane print it includes an alternative print numbered out of 12.

History:
Treehouse, the official online store for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoing, accidentally oversold the Signature Edition by 12 units, rather than cancel the orders they opted to make a new edition called the Exclusive Edition and held an email based raffle allowing those who had ordered the Signature Edition the opportunity to upgrade to the Exclusive Edition.

The first email read as follows:

Earlier this month, we announced the Reckoning Limited Editions, and the response from our fans was overwhelmingly enthusiastic and supportive. The Reckoning Signature Editions were so immensely popular that all 300 sold out in less than five days. In the process, due to an unexpected issue with our store system, we accidentally oversold our stock for the Reckoning Signature Edition by 12 units. It’s extremely important to us that none of our loyal fans—you—miss out on the items you ordered as a result of our mistake, so we want to assure you that will not be the case.

So, what are we doing to resolve this? We’re making sure you get what you ordered, and for a handful of fans, a little something more. We’ve put together an extra special Reckoning Limited Edition package for 12 lucky Reckoning: Signature Edition customers. The first 12 customers to respond to this email will be upgraded to the Reckoning: Exclusive Edition bundle.

Those who responded quickly enough to be upgraded then received this email:

Greetings,

Thank you contacting us about your interest in the Reckoning Exclusive Editions.  We’re happy to inform you that you are one of the 12 people to receive the very limited Reckoning Exclusive Edition.

We will upgrade your current Reckoning Signature Edition order to the Reckoning Exclusive Edition.

Production:
Only 12 of these were made across all Platforms.

Availability:
After ordering the Signature Edition through the official online store, some received an email offering them the ability to upgrade to the Exclusive Edition, the first 12 to respond had their orders upgraded.

  2. Solemn_In_Berlin:
    Beautiful find. Didn't pay much attention to Amalur when it was still an MMO, but Reckoning plays like a proper sequel to Fable. And we all know we never had one.

    I'd be dumb to sleep on the Signature Edition. We all know the story of the Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition.

  3. gurpswoo1:
    Mocs just told me about it, was going to post but beat me to it.

    The fact this is limited to 700 and 300 units respectively makes this worth while. But that price is ouch.

  4. Fitzgera1d:
    Wow, yeah, that price is like a kick in the butt really.. I want to get it just because it might be worth something later..

  5. RyuShinEX:
    just the special edition will do.

  6. Matrix6:
    @MortalMonday I think the price of the Collector's Edition is $200US.

    $75 more for a signed sketch prints....ok then. At least the Troll will be signed as well

    I hope the game will be good as I've never played any of the series.

    Good eye. Fixed it. Thanks.

  8. Suigin:
    Very nice.But, it's only available in US and Canada.
    Can anyone preorder Signature Edition for me?

  9. Twisted:
    when it says only US and Canada..i wonder if Europe and Japan will be getting alternate versions?

  10. scourdx:
    This will be another Dead Space Ultra Edition or a bust. Either way it is certainly one of the rare collectables.

  11. Ceohai:
    wow, limited to 300 / 700 / 2000. Haven't been impressed with the game so far, otherwise I'd at least go for the normal special edition.

    Can you tell me more about the Prismere Troll figurine (Collector's and Signature Editions)?
    The Prismere Troll is made of high quality, solid resin and stands at 12.5" tall and is 9.5" wide, and weighs approximately 5.5 lbs. He's remarkably detailed and fierce looking.


  12. SquirrelRaper:
    Ordered the signature edition

  13. Kelekin:
    Ordered a signature edition for PS3. I'm really excited about this...been following it ever since one of my favourite baseball pitchers decided to create a game studio. Glad this project looks like it's going to be a success.

    Don't worry, it'll be an adventure. Like I said, we never had a proper sequel to Fable sadly. This may very well be it.

  15. vhal_x:
    Do you have to pay up front for this? As I really want that Signature edition xx

  16. Solemn_In_Berlin:
    I'm not sure if this is the same figurine from the Signature Edition, most likely it is, but it looks beautiful. If it is, that also means that it's not going to be exclusive to the Collector's and Signature Editions.

    @Solemn_In_Berlin
    Those are beautiful pictures But even if the Troll statue is not exclusive to the Limited and Signature Editions, at the least, there will only be 300 with a 'signature' on them somewhere, which is exclusive to the 'Signature Edition' [according to the site].

  18. vhal_x:
    Dammit. Just noticed about Customs fees too, think I'm gonna have to (unfortunately !) pass on this one xx

  19. Matrix6:
    ^^ You were going to get customs fees no matter how you get it anyway! [right?] Bad enough it's only shipping to US/Canada. You're actually going to pass on the biggest and exclusive CE of 2012 [so far]??
