Severe lack of money.

I see too many things I want to preorder, and despite knowing I won't be able to afford them all, preorder them anyway just in case Having to cancel quite a few movie CEs/steels over the next few months as I have too many xx

Yes I have this issue sometimes as well, but I tend not to pre-order until I can get the money together...

It's sometimes annoying it seems they announce these things so close to the release date of whatever it is though. I like having some time to save up. Especially if they're highly priced.

Yeah, I wish they'd announce things at least 6 months in advance, to give you adequate preparing time... but sadly, this is rarely the case xx

Finding items that sellers or stores refuse to ship to you

Major lack of money and no future.

1.Missing a CE then later looking for it after release but it is way more expensive than it was first time round.
2.When a seller lists an item as being in a good or even new condition but it looks like a pile of crap.
3.Dents in steelbooks

Both of you said what's on my mind !
but i'll add this : our local store before only bring the standard edition!
and it was in a high price at that time ..
but with time they knew that players want to have other options specially who loves to collect items ! that's why it was so hard for me before

honestly ,
there is a lot's of things i want to add to my collection , but i can't get them because of some of the reasons ..

but still i'm better than others .. thank god my collection with time increase .. it's better than nothing right . i'm looking from time to time to add more and more to it .

sorry for my bad English , it's my 2nd language ..

Another thing I sometimes find frustrating is when the USA gets a better version of a CE, as I live in the UK this happens a lot, 2 examples are Mortal Kombat and Arkham Asylum.

True, true, and that was very very common in the past. But nowadays, we've been receiving some amazing stuff they don't.
