Mortal Kombat

obviously any CE purchase is a gamble if you're looking for something that will appreciate.

If this new MK game sells like gang-busters and suddenly everyone and their brother are playing fighting games again then I'm sure the TE and KE will appreciate in value. Honestly though I don't see that happening.

limiting the TE to 20K units will do a lot for it's value, but at the same time you can still pre-order it so clearly the demand isn't there... at least not yet.

For comparison

the Scarborough Fair Gun replica in Austrailia was limited to 5000 units across all platforms
the Survival Edition of Fallout 3 was limited to 10000 units across all platforms
and the Slimer Edition of Ghostbusters was limited to 6500 units across all platforms.

The Gun Replica was technically $0 to start (as it was a pre-order bonus) and now fetches $150
the Survival edition was $120 to start and is now about $200
and the slimer edition was about $120 to start and now about $100

20K is an interesting area where, it's certainly limited (most CEs are made in the hundreds of thousands) but it's not clear if it will be limited ENOUGH to really hold it's value.
