No, I don't think it'll make the top 10 of rarities. Maybe it would be quite close to the top 10 of numbered editions, with the lowest amounts at the top, but there are quite a lot of non-numbered editions that are fairly rare (either due to small print runs, or due to over time, them becoming less and less commonly seen on eBay, etc) xx

I don't know v aren't there a lot of weird numbered ones for smaller games

Like all the Emily The Strange CE's that are like 200 or so?

Probably near the top ten rarest numbered Collector Editions of AAA games

I'm so nitpicky

Yeah, that's what I mean Although tbh, not many AAA games get a numbered release, do they? I mean, Dead Space 3 had the Dev Team Edition KoA had the Signature Edition (and the other ones), but I can't think of many other recent big titles having a numbered CE (other than the shitty way of numbering like Halo 4, etc. Shouldn't count unless there's a /???? at the end, or at least have us know how many there is total (and not have it be like 500,000 )) xx

Yeah I know and you're right about the bigger game releases for sure

There weren't many big releases recently that were numbered

And Halo 4's was terrible

Why did they even bother numbering it?

Yeah, numbering like that is completely pointless, but there have been far too many that use that shitty way:

- Borderlands 2 Loot Chest (granted the US got it a bit better by having /????, but still massive amounts).
- Halo 3 Legendary Edition.
- Halo 4 LE.
- Call of Duty MW2 PE.
- Duke Nukem Balls of Steel.

I don't see the problem on numbering editions with 50.000+ units, that way we know the edition is not rare and we can wait for a price drop.

Yeah, but at least number it out of the total, instead of just a glorified barcode xx

Defeats on the collector aspect of it to me...Nothing worse than getting something you think is rare and a year later the damn thing is still on the shelf or in some half price bin...?No bueno!
