I did not only get that information from my contact at naughty dog also from someone I know from GameStop, and naughty dog does have a saying on how many could be sold to one individual, they come up with a agreement with the corporation they are distributing it too, in this situation GameStop, at least that's what my contact from naughty dog told me. He told me that they have to have paper signed like a contract on how to sell it, what price to sell it for, how many per customer, ect.

If I am not mistaken in store you could order up to 2 or 3, and if you know the manager from the store you could get more, or you could just send some one else to get you another one. Every store has a limit on how many preorders there are allowed to take. Let's say they are only allowed to take up to 50 preorders, when they reach there limit that's it.

In my limited experience, the publisher / developer whatever makes x number of copies for the retailer then retailer has control over the stock

Don't think gamestop would give a damn if ppl bought to resell

ND would of course

Unless ND had an agreement with Gamestop to limit the orders when they agreed to have it be a Gamestop exclusive

You hit it right in the nail. That's another reason why because it's GameStop exclusive and there are about 4000 stores worldwide.

Too bad not every store will get one.

ND allows a guy to sell a shitty figure for 2500 dollars but they restrict this CE to only 1 per customer? how ironic.

They want to make sure that not one individual can get duplicated to cash in, they want to make sure that other individuals have a chance on purchasing. I am still waiting for a response on if these will be numbered in any way and if the production number they have me is accurate. Is only online that's available not in store.
So if you purchased multiple, expect to get your order canceled.

I have mine preordered with another member who has also bought 1 so will that be cancelled? They've only the ordered two I think.
