I have an item that shows "in hand" and "unfulfilled" for over a month now. Should I be questioning this, or is it normal for them to sit on items that are in hand?

Is it a lone item or was ordered along with something else? Cause they won't ship anything til everything on the order is available to do so.

 
Count me as one of those with a Cthulhu saves christmas with no shipping notice.  Just happened to notice it was ship while going over my account.  While it has been moving in shipment the DHL tracking says it was delivered on the 17th & I still haven't received it, though this could be DHL or my Post Office (they have a tendacy to sit on packages they receive for a couple of days).  Hopefully it will arrive later today, but yeah I'm not a fan of DHL either.  Every interaction with them has been on the negative side.  I'm not looking forward to the future to fondly especially if you order a pricey & fraglie CE.  I really think it's going to come back & bite LRG.

 
Got a reply to my Obra Dinn shipping ticket. LRG says they had a issue and the games will be dispatched in small batches and should be done shipping by the first week of July. They said to be in contact if there’s no update by the second week of July ( which would be over a month from the label being created). I really hope this isn’t foreshadowing of how shipping will be from this point.

strictly limited games has awful customer service. I had a question for them about my order and they replied with non-answers regarding Aisha monster world and clockwork aquario. Useless support. All I wanted to know is when things would ship and if my order of aisha would be held up because it's attached to the delayed aquario but they couldn't answer.

Zombies ate my neighbors isn't a rare cart by any means anyways

At this point, any decently-known SNES game is going to go for a hefty price on the second-hand market. You are correct, of course. Zombies isn't a particularly rare title. It got a decent print run back in the day, and was even fairly popular and well-known in its time. And it wasn't even one of the larger or more technically demanding cartridges, so it didn't cost an arm and a leg to produce. (like Chrono Trigger)

But as with all popular SNES carts, the second-hand price for Zombies is probably upwards of $40 right now for a bare cartridge. This is the state of affairs that can make public repros more appealing. Even common carts often go for fairly obscene prices thanks to their relative scarcity, and the increased interest in the hobby. The older these things get, the more expensive they become. And public repros like what retro-bit dapples in only increases demand for the original carts. Stealth repros are a bane to collectors, but clearly labeled, officially licensed repros don't damage the original carts value at all. They just raise awareness while providing a new "version" to collect.

 
Thankfully these repro carts do nothing for me.  I rarely play my old systems, if anything I should sell that stuff off it gets so little use.  There's other more convenient ways to play most of it anyway.

I’ve only had a positive experience with SLG customer service. My Darius CE shipped but never received it. I waited longer to contact them because of the pandemic and was told to wait 2 more weeks. After 2 weeks passed nothing changed so the mailed me a replacement and it arrived quickly and in mint condition.

It is a lone item, that's why I was wondering about it. Makes no sense unless they are backlogged trying to push out items with larger production runs.

Same. SLG has shown great customer service the few times I reached out to them. I ordered Vasara Vita and Switch from them and the Switch copy wasn’t in the box when I opened it. They said they would ship it with my next order (which I ok’ed, I was patient) and three months later when that order dispatched it was included.

I received my copy of Terminator Resistance PS5 CE yesterday.

I am very pleased with the purchase. I think the steel book looks great and the mini comic is also really nice.
I only buy standard releases but I glad I decided to get this CE.

What is the consensus if SCAT and Mega Man Trilogy will arrive before Christmas? Both were bought as Christmas gifts. I'm fairly confident on SCAT, but not so much on Mega Man,

SCAT probably will, I'm doubtful on Mega Man. Not that they always fulfill things in sequence, but they're still working on orders from last year and the Mega Man repros aren't a "this is super visible so let's rush it through the queue" kinda game (like River City Girls, Scott Pilgrim, etc.). Retro stuff and CEs both increase the chance of delays.

 
I'm okay with this PS5 version as a backdoor second run trick if it means a reasonably priced copy of Curse of the Moon 1 for me. Those games are some of my favorites in years and I missed out.
 
I totally forgot about the Castlevania Anniversary Collection until I started reading this thread...glad I did!  I love the series!

In turn, while ordering, I noticed they are printing Zombies Ate My Neighbors/Ghoul Patrol...simply boggled my mind! :shock:

I haven't ordered from LRG since last year...never saw these coming. 

And rumor is they are releasing RetroMania Wrestling!? If that's true, I will bury my current pants deep in the earth to contribute in preserving the DNA of the human race for future species to discover.

They are also releasing Castlevania Requiem, which has Symphony of the Night & Rondo of Blood. It was announced at their E3 show.

Also didn't know this...thanks dude! I assume this is further into the short future, as I don't see this info on their site. Did they give any ETA?

As for E3...I miss the old days. It was a spectacle! Bands, booze, and babes!

Anyone know what LRG decided to do with those tickets they used to send out games with? I remember them saying they were going to do something "special" once and for all so you can trade them in but that was like  2-3 years ago, maybe. I have like a stash of these tickets and I've been out of the loop but when i saw their E3 presentation, I was hoping to hear something. But nothing about it was mentioned  :cry:

They were allowing ticket submittal and exchange for games and other swag, but according to their website, the ticket redemption program was discontinued 11/1/2020. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to submit a help desk ticket to inquire about it, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

I sent my tickets in for Papers Please and Super Meat Boy, the later has never been released. I hope they are keeping track of those redemptions. I did get Papers Please, but had to contact them once it was on the site. They said they could not ship SMB even though it was in the blind boxes. Have to wait.

Definitely follow up with them after Super Meat Boy is listed and sold. They always hold back reserves for damaged/missing shipments, so you should be good as long as there’s still stock available. I would imagine it was a pretty limited print run, so don’t wait too long to submit a help desk ticket after the game is listed.
 
So... I guess LRG shipped my Obra Dinn PS4 CE and Papers Please back on June 10... and never sent an email saying it shipped. Nor handed it off to DHL? They have it noted as en route to DHL but there's been on updates on the tracking. 

Is this normal? This would be my first DHL shipment so I have no clue what to expect. 

 
This is the second time LRG has completely forgotten about me. I make an order and the release date comes and goes and they don't send me anything. Like, are all their orders written on a piece of paper? Do they not have a digital system to track orders?

 
For those that missed out or were interested in the Huntdown Collector's Edition. There’s a possibility of a second print run that is “if there is enough interest,” they'll make some more of these! I was totally caught off-guard that this was released in small print numbers for both Switch and PS4 during the week and not on the usual Friday. Perhaps, Limited Run Games didn’t want customers to combine shipping with their Friday releases.
 
If this happens, I would like to see them produce a Mow Man and Anna Conda along with the John Sawyer action figure offered as a bundle similar to the Jak and Daxter Fan Bundle. Yeah, I know, fellow CAGS, it's not gonna happen. Well sign-up at the bottom of the website if you're interested in the Huntdown Collector’s Edition: Part Deux!

Since LRG switched shipping partners they've had trouble sending out shipping confirmations. LRG has said that it is a software issue which is supposed to be corrected this week.

With Obra Dinn, not all have been sent out yet. LRG expects to have them shipped by next week. Mine is being held up as well.
