They really are not going to have another decent game for me to pair with the Gradius Origins Collection.
I still have a few weeks to preorder but its not looking good.

Ugh... LRG might have found my new weakness. I love me some Strat guides... can't wait for them to be like $50 each and prob shipped in bubble mailers and arrived fucked up.

EDIT* didn't realize this was already up days ago and it's priced at $25, Not bad... but after shipping and taxes, becomes a lot more.

EDIT2* 108 pages, at $25 is pricey but yeah, the OG game really didn't have much to it so not surprising it's so small.

I'm sure they'll find a way to milk the guides. First, individual paperback versions. Then individual hardcover versions. Then a complete set with exclusive slipcase

Slipcase sold separately.

Shipped in a bubble mailer and crushed during delivery.

Then denied replacement because you didn't pay for the Limited Box Upgrade.

Which wasn't available because of some site glitch.

My weakness too. Hopefully they stagger the releases like they did with the Yakuza games where items overlap for a weekend so I can get 2 guides for 1 shipping price.
 
I'm glad I have no weakness for paper goods. When was younger and we didn't have the internet to lean on for info... sure. Give me a Player's Strategy Guide to Nintendo Games or one of Jeff Rovin's How to Win at Nintendo Games books. There were a lot of great options in print from books to magazines to dedicated guides. Now, it's just another thing to find a place for.

I only collect the guides if they have sections on development background or concept art (like you see in most Piggyback and Future Press guides). For most big releases, that means I'm better off just grabbing the eventual "Art of..." book.
 
Just got an email saying Limited DOOM CE Selling Fast !! Less Than 100 left.. that's kinda crazy to me considering the Cost of it .. I'm just surprised I think

There's only 666 across 4 platforms, if I'm reading that correctly, so worldwide, I'd be surprised if they couldn't sell out even at that stupid price. I wonder how many are scalpers.
 
Happy to see my Nintendo Switch ClockTower Rewind Collector's Edition has been shipped .. ordered on July 1st last year.. love the box art on it -
 
I got that one as well, surprised it actually shipped before a year... same with Animal Well CE.

I think Shantae Risky Revolution is now my oldest LRG preorder. The standard version is supposed to ship in April but guessing nobody's gotten it yet...

Nope. That's my oldest order too. Bummer.
 
Are all the books supposed to be sealed in plastic?? My NES Works 85-86 was sealed, but NES Works 87 wasn't.

Also, any word if they are doing other years?
