PSA: Limited Run Games Are Live 10am and 6pm EST
https://limited-run-games.myshopify.com
I grabbed a copy of each on the vita since they are games I actually want, but I don't see these being super flippable. OWH and TWA are each getting a run of 5000 and 4000 respectively, and furthermore LRG is allowing people to order 2 copies at a time. I think they do this when they get nervous of not selling out in 24 hours and they hope people buy extra intending to sell on eBay.
On another note, My Life in Gaming did an interesting video interviewing LRG and I think it's worth a look if you haven't already.

I still have bought every single one for every single platform that's been released. Except for the PS4 copy of Saturday morning RPG that I'm trading my extra breach and clear for once I get it out of storage.
I think they will become less and less collectible because they're starting to turn them out at a faster rate, however I still like what they're doing and will still choose to support them unless they start putting out some real turds.

Agreed. It was much easier when it was 1 game a month, and I know I won't be able to keep up. It is cool that they are offering protective cases along side the games, but it's not cool that they increased shipping by $.25. Greedy.
And if they do start churning out a couple games a months, it probably would prove wise to start a dedicated thread.
I'd prefer quality over quantity, but their business model kind of screws them in the growth department as the whole idea is to keep stock low, hence limiting their potential sales and profit. The only way for them to grow is to release more games. At some point, they either need to branch out into other money-making areas (selling accessories and protectors is a good start) or else they will dilute their brand gimmick to the point of irrelevancy.
I'm cool with a dedicated thread as well.
I understand they need to keep releasing games as it lends to the nature of their company's success. But man over $100 is tough. It seems like they are upping their monthly release threshold, which is great for them, but makes the complete set collectors cry on the inside.
We are talking about a business model where it's assured that people will be unsatisfied, and I suppose this all boils down to speculation as a collector. It's interesting! Btw, I'm planning to keep my lrg collection going because why not
I don't intend to flip any LRG games I buy, but I could see that these games would certainly be more flippable a few months down the line, especially during the Christmastime price hikes. For example, you could get Oddworld: New and Tasty a week or two after release for $35 or so for either the Vita or PS4, but now you're looking at $70 each at the very least.
October will be good with TWO Shantae games coming and one that's still unannounced (rumors revolve around Salt and Sanctuary) and far as I have seen Volume is the only Vita release.
Oh and yes I also would like to see a dedicated LRG thread as well. I can add what I dig up as well since I'm lurking the forums and twitter over there almost everyday.
