Is it funny that I want the Curt Schilling autograph?

[thefunk007]

Are these versions only going to be for sale in the US then?

Also do they take the money right away if you order?

[gurpswoo1]

US and Canada only

Funds are taken straight away

[surfdude73]

What version is getting released in europe then

[lhurgoyf]

US and Canada only

Funds are taken straight away

I paid with credit card and have not been billed. If you use paypal, they probably take the funds right away. I was wrong, even credit card purchases are charged right away.

[winds]

Thanks! Ordered the signature edition for the 360. What version and on which console is everyone else ordering?

[Kelekin]

I paid for a PS3 edition myself.

Surprised these aren't sold out, but I suppose it's really a price point thing.

[gomgomboy]

i just pre-ordered the cheapest one and the signature edition one PS3 VERSION and to be honest i just want the map , had enough of them figurines and i'm not too crazy about the lithograph or the signature anyhow , before i unbox any of those im gonna rent first and if i like it ill keep the signature and sell the cheaper one :spiteful: or if i hate it i'll just sell them both i did the same with skyrim cept i kept the statue ver cuz its soo badass!!!

From the various descriptions:

"All Prismere Troll figures in the Signature Edition will be signed by either Todd McFarlane, R. A. Salvatore, or Curt Schilling, are numbered 1 to 300, and normally retail individually for $175.00"

"Along with all the items featured in the Special Edition, the Collector’s Edition also comes with an individually numbered limited edition Prismere Troll figurine created by McFarlane toys in a limited run of 1,600 units. This solid resin Troll figurine stands 12.5" and normally retails individually for $125.00."

They sell the figures separately? And this being an EA game..... :nono:

[lhurgoyf]

I paid with credit card and have not been billed. If you use paypal, they probably take the funds right away.

I take that back. On my CC, the pre-auth has been up for an unusual time so I assumed it was temp like other sites (like amazon). I was wrong. You can also see that in the T&C listed: http://limitededitions.reckoning.com/38-terms-and-conditions/

"PRE-SALE ITEMS
Pre-sale items are charged at the time of purchase, not at time of shipping. Shipping dates noted on pre-sale items are estimates only and actual ship dates may change due to time of year, product availability, and other events out of our control.

[gomgomboy]

now that lemur mentioned it , i remember seeing a lotr win figurine at bestbuy for $10 each but like i mentioned above lol i have enough figurine already so i didnt bother getting one so if u guys want one check ur local bestbuy , it's on the clearance section

[Matrix6]

Signature Edition is SOLD OUT!!! :D

[winds]

That was pretty quick. I wonder how long it will take for the other editions to sell out.

[thefunk007]

Damn it - bloody missed out on this, trying to figure out how to get it shipped to the UK, if anyone can help with this edition (unlikely I know) please let me know (if anyone is willing to give up there's I would be happy to purchase it - for PC)...

[Twisted]

Holy smokes!!! i had a chance to buy one or more for myself, and i passed!!!!..and now someone has already bid US $700 on Ebay UK!!!!!!...:(...i can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!..i feel like a dimwit..hahahahaha...:p

This was sent out to people who pre-ordered the Signature Edition:

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.

What does upgrading to the Reckoning Exclusive Edition bundle entail?

We are offering a chance for our customers who purchased a Reckoning Signature Edition to upgrade to the Reckoning Exclusive Edition for free. We have only 12 of the Reckoning Exclusive Edition bundles, to cover the 12 Reckoning Signature Edition bundles we oversold. If you are one of the first 12 people to respond to this email and tell us you want to upgrade, we will automatically upgrade your Signature Edition bundle to the Exclusive Edition bundle. You will receive a confirmation email letting you know we received your request to upgrade.

What’s the difference between the Exclusive Edition bundle and the Signature Edition bundle?

Both bundles have the same type of items, but there are a few slight differences. The Exclusive Edition Todd McFarlane Reckoning sketch screen-print in the Exclusive Edition bundle will be different than the one in the Signature Edition bundle, and limited to only 12 individually numbered copies. Also, the Limited Edition McFarlane Toys Prismere Troll figure in the Exclusive Edition bundle is the same as the one in the Collector’s Edition (they are not numbered, like the Signature Edition trolls, but otherwise are identical), but the base is hand-signed by one of the Reckoning visionaries.

What does the upgraded Reckoning Exclusive Edition bundle include?

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or PC)
Limited Edition, 1 of 1600, McFarlane Toys Prismere Troll figure with a base hand-signed by one of our visionaries
1 of 12 individually numbered, alternate limited edition Todd McFarlane Reckoning sketch screen-prints
Original lithograph signed by Ken Rolston
Parchment map of Amalur's Faelands
Amalur themed 7-piece dice set and dice bag
Full set of 40 Destiny Cards
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning - The Soundtrack
Bonus DLC - Fate-Touched Weapons Pack (Increase XP gained from Fateshift Kills with these nine weapons)

Thank you all for your continued support. We will continue to make every effort to bring you the best possible experience and products. In Amalur, every cloud has a silver lining.

They are all taken now. I responded about 40 minutes after the email and they were already gone. Hope someone here got luckier than I did!

I received this email as well, and I find it rather strange. I read over it several times and still can't seem to agree that this is actually an "upgrade". Now I agree that a limited 1 of 12 sketch is an upgrade from a 1 of 300 sketch for sure. However what gets me is this, the email says "Also, the Limited Edition McFarlane Toys Prismere Troll figure in the Exclusive Edition bundle is the same as the one in the Collector’s Edition (they are not numbered, like the Signature Edition trolls, but otherwise are identical), but the base is hand-signed by one of the Reckoning visionaries." But the original Signature edition comes with the same figurine, also signed and it is numbered, showing it as truly limited. As per the site: "All Prismere Troll figures in the Signature Edition will be signed by either Todd McFarlane, R. A. Salvatore, or Curt Schilling, are numbered 1 to 300" (view here: http://limitededitions.reckoning.com/ ) How is this an upgrade if I am losing a numbered and signed troll for a non-numbered signed troll? Just my thoughts lol.

[Lemur]

It's an upgrade cos instead of getting a 1/300 item you'll be getting a 1/12 item. At least that's what I think they mean. :facepalm:

[Gambit001]

So they upgrade 1 item, the sketch from 1 of 300 to 1 of 12 (which is great), and technically downgrade the statue from 1 of 300 numbered, to one of the regular non-numbered ones... :asplode:

[winds]

Yeah in a way i'm glad I missed the opportunity to "upgrade" to the exclusive edition. At first I felt like I missed out on an opportunity, but after some thought I would prefer the numbered statue to the more limited sketch, since the statue is the main attraction for me. Both editions are great though.

[sleepwalker]

Exclusive Signature Edition sold for $2900 by the way ^_^

[gomgomboy]

hey the dude is from my town , lol let's hope when i get my signature i can make it that much on ebay , i played the demo , like the game but not that much , what do u think ? have u play it?

[Pielord]

I find it really annoying that people will buy these super rare editions and just sell them :( if I got hold of one of these I would probably be buried in a shone surround by my collectors editions!

[sleepwalker]

You not gonna sell regular signature edition for $3000;
this is exclusive 1 of 12 edition, not the simple signature which is 1 of 300.

[gomgomboy]

o well , lol i think ill hold on to it just incase i changed my mind about the game , its way too early to judge it by demo since its only like an hour long , if i like the game them ill just keep it as i alerady paid for it anyways:bananayes:

[AmericanBash]

I wish I could have still gotten a signature one. :(

[vhal_x]

same Bash, so gutted to have missed out on this edition :( xx

[gomgomboy]

u like the game that much? or do u just collect things , i like the game but to me it's not worth $250 at this point but like i mentioned maybe i will later on cuz when i first played skyrim i was like this doesnt worth $60 , then 4 hours later i bought a ce i just hope its really good once the game come out so i wont have to sell my CE one , i never spent so much on a game before cept ffxiii-2 system , that shit is like $500

[Wheeks]

Is there a good reason EU got so shafted on this release? I haven't seen anything but the regular editions for pre-order here in the UK.

[Matrix6]

Same reason as the Dead Space Ultra Edition I guess?? :s

I don't see any reason at all, but these things happen to either regions PAL/NTSC/Japan/Asia/Australia :v:



Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning Exclusive Edition
"The" edition that absolutely nobody saw coming!!
Of the 12 being made, how many are being distributed for each format? And the biggest question to following is....what format will have forged #1 on it?!

Even now nobody really know which of the twelve will be deemed the most valuable, will it be Number 1? Number 12? Or another number altogether? Even eBay sellers didn't see this coming! Those that have already been auctioned off and sold may even be more valuable in profitable terms after it is released pending on the what number will be forever scripted on that particular unit! The seller may lose out on a bit more, the buyer then has a chance to demand more! Keep sealed, get it VGA, store it safe for 10 years...and you'll have a golden egg in your hands!

The owner of such rarity [whether a collector or future seller] can choose to be famous or infamous, be known at one of the 12 Knights of the Round Table. The question begs to remain, at the moment, who will be King(dom) of Amalur: Reckoning...the King Arthur and the Sir Lancelot? Who will wield the holy grail of holy grails...the "Excalibur" of collections! Is it by "luck" of which of the 12 is devilishly marked by the #1, or is Merlin choosing the next King Arthur to pull out the sword in the stone??

If one of the l33t Knights is from this village....please stand up, please stand up :D

[gokilz]

Is the statue packaged separately from the bundle? It would be nice if all is together in one box

[Matrix6]

Not sure how they'll package it over all, but it looks as though it'll come separately...although everything could be packed into a larger box to confine all the contents.

More pics here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.342311709123729.81605.136188433069392&type=3

And because they've made extra 100's of units of the Troll figures, I'm guessing that box displayed is how it'll come when sold at stores.

[gokilz]

wow sweet!! I'm going to pre order now lol.

thanks matrix :D

[Matrix6]

wow sweet!! I'm going to pre order now lol.

thanks matrix :D

You're welcome.
It's a great looking edition and the pics really help to define how awesome it will be <3

[Gameshark]

My opinion, one of the best CE's in 2012 so far :)

[Wheeks]

Don't suppose there are any yanks on this board who can act as a proxy to get a special edition pre-order to the UK :rotf:

[Gameshark]

If any are interested in the game I can order one and forward it to you (world wide). just send me a PM

[Solemn_In_Berlin]

From the looks of this, (http://forums.reckoning.amalur.com/showthread.php?3948-special-edition-unboxing-pics-(per-request)) the unboxing experience will be amazing. The presentation is the best I've seen from a CE since Bioshock 2.

[stavie33]

Can't wait. Hope it's in a box that won't get too damaged, got the Exclusive edition so I really want it mint.

[Twisted]

u better hope popularity wise this game turns out to be the next HALO and not HAZE,.;)..then watch the value skyrocket!!!!!

[RyuShinEX]

how heavy is the special edition?

[gokilz]

the collector edition just sold out lol. left only the special
