Re: Metal Gear Solid V CE open for pre-order
Just ordered one - on Xbox One (would have prefered PS4 - I'm not a fan of Xbox after E3 2013).
Anyway, I'm new to these boards. I have a lot of collectables - mainly statues. I have very few video game collector editions but I'm starting to dig them. Missing out on TLOU Pandemic Edition has made me a little more pro-active. I have a few questions though. 1. Do these collectors editions have an edition size announced? 2. Do the companies stick to it? 3. Is it likely that, if they sell out, they will simply increase the edition size - so, for instance, is there a chance this collectors edition will appear for sale again in the future? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks!

Welcome to CE.org! Here are my answers to your questions: 1. Most companies don't announce the edition size for CE or LE. The size it really depends on the company. Nintendo CE has low edition size, while Ubisoft has very large edition size for their CEs. My suggestion is to pre-order the CE or LE when they are available if you're interested in the game. You can cancel pre-orders from most retailers. 2. Most companies stick to it. 3. Again, depends on the company. For example, Assassin's Creed CEs will be sold out before release, but ton of them will be available after release. In most case, unless the CE is super limited (like the Borderlands Handsome Jack Collection CE, which is limited to 5000), they will pop up before release because some people might cancel their pre-orders before release.

Re: Metal Gear Solid V CE open for pre-order
Hey. Thanks for the answers! Very helpful.
I'm very excited to have snagged one of these since I love MGS and it's going to be Hideo Kojima's last MGS game (since he is leaving Konami). I have a couple more questions. I know I'm off topic (sorry), but since you are here! 1. After the sales are all done do we ever find out the ES? Seems kind of useful data for the future looking back. 2. Any idea what's a typical (likely) ES? E.g. the looks like the MKX Euro Edition is 70,000 (if the concept art steel card is to be believed). That seems like LOT to me....but I come from the world of statues with much lowers ES, often less than 1000. Like all collectables there are the ones I will just buy because I absolutely love the game (e.g. Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collection) and there are ones that I will take a chance on in advance not knowing if I will love the game. My decision making process will be made up of many facets and one of them is scarcity or the collectable's ability to retain or gain value. 3. More specifically I'd love to know how many TLOU Pandemic Editions were made considering the mark up on eBay. I can't believe it's anywhere near 70,000...? Cheers Thanks again for your help!

Metal Gear Solid V CE open for pre-order

As far as I know we won't be able to know the edition size unless the company tells us before release or from some inside source. All the CEs have different edition size. Some companies keep making CE until the game isn't popular anymore (eg. Some halo games and NA version of Uncharted 3 CE). Far Cry and Assassin's Creed CEs all took forever to be sold out, but more people buy AC than FC, so even if they took the same time, the edition sizes are different. For TLoU PE, I don't think it's anywhere near 70,000. Again, my suggestion would be pre-order once they are available. If they are sold out very quickly like MSG 5 PP CE, it's pretty rare. You can always cancel it if you decide not to buy it. Edit: they usually tell us the edition size of its limited. We never get the edition size from Ubisoft lol Last edited by 0329liuken; 03-20-2015 at 11:06 PM.

Re: Metal Gear Solid V CE open for pre-order
OK, again thanks for the answers.
Weird how Uncharted 3 CE was ongoing. Was there a real statue involved or was it a PVC figure? Generally it's not that easy to just keep producing statues. Hence maybe why TLOU was limited (I know the statue was made by TriForce - they are also making a new statue apparently).

The figure in Uncharted 3 CE is PVC figure. Yeah, usually if the CE has a poly stone statue, it will be limited.
