I honestly don't know much about LRG, but am I correct in my impression that they are official games released in small quantities, which will make it very hard for people to collect full sets for systems that have a lot of LRG releases (apparently ps4 and vita)?

That's one way of looking at it.  Another way of looking at it is that they bring digital only games to the physical world that would otherwise never have a chance to become physical.  
 
Your point is well taken, and I didn't mean to sound negative about the idea of LRG (if that's how it came across).  I just suspected that it would be objectively more difficult to get full sets because of the many limited releases  

 

I still say that's a pretty strange way of looking at it.  No disrespect to anyone who is a full set collector, but it would be foolish to go for a full set of anything without the mindset that it will cost a lot of money.  There is nothing wrong with being a fullset collector, but I will refuse to listen to anyone who would complain about such a thing.  I've said it from the beginning, but I hope that LRG, turns as many digital only titles into physical as possible.  If that makes aquiring a full set very difficult, so be it.  It wasn't going to happen for 99.99% of collectors anyway.

Should this be a Limited Run thread, or should it be a "companies that do limited prints" thread?





Awesome job on updating the list, thank you! Let's keep this thread LRG focused. Although I am always thankful for any physical press alerts

Hey Celeste is two week open preorder even on PS4. I hope it sells gangbusters. It would be a shame for it to be too limited.

Should there be an additional column added for if it had a limited/collector edition as well?

Very useful. Is it possible to make the list downloadable in txt or csv format or such the like? If not, no biggie, but thought I'd check.

I hope it’s Axiom Verge.

Fast racing Neo could be a contender. Also Ittle Dew 2 came physical on switch but Ittle Dew 1 wasn’t physical I think. Freedom Planet would be cool but I think that’s already ported to switch

I got my Game Fly order with titles from LRG. I hope they continue to liquidate LRG titles with normal titles. It was a great way to pick up games that I didn't want to pay full LRG prices for and get them opened so I don't feel the pressure to keep them sealed.

Iconoclasts is getting a switch release January 18. Also on PS4 and Vita. I have it on steam but haven't played it yet. Will definitely be getting this one.

Now if only I would start playing the games I have on PC...

I still haven't gotten my shipment to replace my Cosmic Star Heroine and Saturday Morning RPG. It's been 23 days since my package got "ready for ups". The tracking number hasn't updated at all. I emailed them last night so hopefully I hear from them soon. I'm just wondering why the tracking number is stuck...UPS's fault or LRG's fault?

I had the same issue with a tracking number for me since the 21st. Glad to hear I am not the only one. Let me know if you get an answer as to what is wrong. I was going to email them myself, too.

I got a reply yesterday:
 
"We are so sorry about that!  We've had some delays and are waiting for a very large pickup from our postal service.  You should see your tracking update any day!   Again, I am so sorry for the delay! 
 
Have a great day!"

So our shipments should be coming soon I guess...

I think it's cool that they're releasing limited edition collector's items, with some schnat, but $80 for this... pass. Also, the soundtrack on cassette is not cool in my opinion. Give me a decent CD...

yup

At least they are making this one 1 per person as I'm sure it would sell out pretty quick with it being 2 per person.

Btw "Strawberry pie recipe". Yep, worth it.

The only thing I want in that set is the steel case and I cannot handle paying over double for it. The cassette is a let down too. While cool it isn't practical.

If it came with an actual, edible strawberry pie, I'd be far more inclined

I guess they heard all the complaints and the composer is going to send out a digital code to download "most" of the tracks

Sorry you missed out.   That one was one you really had to be lucky. Even getting a 15 second head start to add to cart was almost not enough. It was sold out at 5:00pm when I was looking at the store page.

Fangamer will have 1000 copies of the collector edition to sell in April, I would probably suggest just waiting for that instead of trying to pay whatever ridiculous amount people will ask for it before then.

Probably going to grab Danmaku Unlimited 3 at some point but I'm skipping the other two. Means I can go to sleep at a normal time and not stay awake all night! Yay.
