I don't forsee either of these editions increasing in value.

The tournament edition will likely decrease in value to a point. The stick itself will have value and the TE wont drop below that. Look at the Tekken 5 and 6 LEs that were bundled with sticks... they're valued at about what the stick is worth.

The Kollector's Edition will likely be worthless in a few months. Just look at the Xbox 1/PS2 Mortal Kombat KEs... they can still be bought new in some places for around $20. Similarly the MK vs DC CE and SFIV CEs are all significantly devalued.

Fighting games just don't hold their value....

I'm buying both, but I'm also a huge MK fan (I even have a UMK3 Arcade machine in my game room).

----------

A general rule for determining if a CE will hold it's values or increase in value

1. is it an RPG?
2. is it a NEW franchise (ie: not a sequel and not based on a movie or existing property) with little to no marketing?
3. was production limited?
4. Have past CEs from the franchise increased in value?

If you answered "YES" to one of these questions it will likely hold it's value at or around RRP
If you answered yes to two or more of these questions it will likely increase in value over time.
