I got this one!! on lock!!...i really do like it!!...i still am desperately searching for any type of pre-order links for the "OTHER" Box set, that has individual standard game cases with variant art, that's supposedly available at major retailers for pre-order, but i can't find a link anywhere!!!...i want to add both variants to my collection..this iam8bit exclusive folio package, and the other one that comes in dedicated game cases..if anyone hears of anything!!!??..for the standard game boxes "box set"..PLEASE!! share the pre-order links!!..Thank You!!!

Thank You! Codreanu..but is this PAL region version only?..are they NOT any NTSC versions?..also i am wondering if these would feature the PEGI logo ratings on each game box!?.even though the mock up photo appears to show NTSC ESRB ratings, but still i CANNOT find this specific set for pre-order at any major US retailer!!...hmmm

[Codreanu]

I also couldn't find a US retailer listing the box. :surrender:
Which is strange because justforgames describes the box as a US import. It's also strange that the box can't be ordered through Skybound.

[Twisted]

yeah..i honestly hope as a US citizen, that the iam8bit folio version is "exclusive" to US meaning the ONLY version made available in the US..and the more desirable box set, is being sold for the rest of the world..since it still NTSC rated..it's possible it was a last minute marketing decision..maybe they thought by having both variants in the US..it would glut the market for these niche games and would'nt sell!?..as these are'nt well known mainstream titles...i think that's what's going on here,..the folio variant is primarily for the US ands the rest of the world is getting shipped out the BOX set..and it's called an "import" because of the pre-printed ESRB ratings.

Big slip box Version has been canceled.

OMG!! Codreanu!! NOOOO!!! :( i was genuinely excited!!! for this box set!!...i wanted it far,! far,! far! more!!!! than the iam8bit exclusive folio version!!..this news seriously hurts!!..because i am a big collector of PS4 games, and these artistic box art cover designs. i was gonna highlight in my collection!! 2020 is turning out to be a real doozy!

[Codreanu]

I was too hasty. The box was canceled, but only for Europe. It is still planned for the US.

I can't open the link, but the box seems to be available from Gamestop:

Thanks!! for the clarification Codreanu!!. i feel relieved!! as a US based collector!..i wonder if a PEGI/PAL rated box set was in the cards all along? because most of the international websites that showed this box set, either showed the ESRB North America rated version, or just "brushed out" the ratings logo!?..maybe? the other international markets were planning to "import" the US version since it's "region free"?..and the distributor might have cancelled due to either "weak demand"?..or it is truly limited, so restricted to the US only!?...i think more or less demand was too weak..because the games are from a niche publisher, and the games are mostly low key under the radar, and the price for the box set is prohibitive, for non-AAA style games, and lastly due to the ongoing worldwide situation maybe shipment abroad to EUROPE and Beyond was problematic or too costly for the publisher!?...hmm ..just me thinking aloud!
