Well it finally came!

I'm not too happy about the hole in the shrink wrap, and that fact that they sent it in a bubble mailer, thankfully it was only dented in one corner, but I'm very glad to finally have it in hand.  Had a VGA case waiting for it.  I'm glad Capcom came through with it, I'm just not too keen on their customer service.

    A lot of them came with the holes, Vince said his has one too.  Crappy shrink jobs!  None the less I am thrilled to have one thou. image
  • Congrats Penguin... Looks good in that VGA case.
  • So how many of these were actually produced? I heard only 200 but with all of the members here and all of the ones I've seen on eBay there is no way it can be accurate. Are they still printing more?
  • they were only going to make 200, but their ordering system allowed way more then 200 to be ordered, so they honored all that got ordered...
  • I wouldn't be surprised if the final numbers were upwards of 1000 copies or more.
  • How much did they cost initially? If they aren't making any more then I guess I'll have to suck it up and try to snag one off the bay sometime.
  • $55, I think, but I'm not completely sure.
  • Damn that's it! Wow, wish I was collecting back then.... and how long were they accepting orders?
  • congrats man. looks good
  • I received my second copy today. both are shitty. first one came with a hole.



    second one came smooshed in some parts, a little, and some holes.



    Kind of pissed about this, as i was looking forward to it.



    Not sure what i want to do with my 2nd copy. Trade/sell. I'll accept offers.



    I think it was on sale for like 15 minutes, and sold for 58.90 shipped. Not positive.



  • Damn, did they announce which 15 minutes it would be on sale? Or did a bunch of people just happen to get really lucky? Kind of amazing they allowed multiple orders for such a "rare" product, I would have bought as many as I could have possibly afforded.
  • I don't remember. there was a link posted here, and i bought one instantly. and then I told everyone on AIM about it, and then i bought another. Thought about sitting there all day, but they only let you order 1 at a time so I had to go through the process 2x. Rumor was double orders weren't going to be honored. Which was a lie. I think I'm going to complain to them about the quality of mine. see what happens.
  • Yea they were around $58.45 shipped each. The link to buy them was only up for around 13 mins or so. We got very lucky. image
  • Know you've been waiting awhile now, congrats! Looks great like that.
  • I don't understand the thinking here, really. It's obvious that a lot more than 200 people (or 200 orders) would be done for this game, and I'm sure it's MUCH LESS to manufacture if you're doing a whole ton, so why stop at so little? Why not, you know, actually make money off this? Put it on store shelves!

    [edit: Ha, nevermind, teach me to talk about something that I have no idea about, I actually thought Capcom was smart and made an NES cart of Mega Man 9. XD That shit would sell a million times better than this.]

    WTF??? my copy came with a small hole in the shrinkwarp on the back too!!!
    What a bunch of buttholes!

  • Just got mine today as well. It also has a big hole, just on the opposite side. I also got the extremely rare 2 price tag version. image
  • Perhaps they put the holes on purpose to differentiate them from the "original 200"? Its a conspiracy I tell you!!!

    I highly doubt that, it's just a crappy shrink job. image
  • For a game that's supposed to be new, how is it that the upper left corner already is worn?

    That's because stupid Digital River sent these in a bubble mailer with no extra padding. image
  • Mine finally came today...in a bubble mailer :-/ It made the trip the safely.

    ~~NGD
  • Is someone going to open their copy and post pics? If you bought two, you should definitely open one of them up and post pics up here for posterity sakes. image
  • Please sell me one of this at good price !! image
  • shitty service man that really sucks! you expect something to be shipped well and it arrives in "not-so-new-anymore" condition!



    off-topic: Nice desktop wallpaper!!

    I was thinking this too. If anyone opened theirs up, it would be great to see pictures.

  • Hey quick questions about these, do they have an H seam on the back, or just sealed at the top and bottom? Thanks...
  • I wished I hadn't missed out.It's awesome to see Capcom make something like that.
