how fast do games sell out on this site? i dont care about collecting their releases i simply want the silver case when it goes up for preorder and i'm kinda worried about it selling out if i'm not at my computer at the right time.
 
the silver case will be using a different method where they will do a pre-order and then make the amount of copies pre-ordered, I think they said it would be up for about a week?

As to their console games, they can sell out anywhere from 5 minutes to, what's the longest so far? 48 hours I think?

I believe they're doing a preorder window for that to get their print numbers, so as long as you preorder in that window you'll be guaranteed a copy.

Any ETA on the Silver Case preorder? I know the download version comes out in 7 days.
 
Belated "MC: One Way Heroics" and "Thomas Was Alone" confirmation on my end. I'm pretty much antithetical to most LRG collecting on the board as I'm primarily grabbing stuff for the PS4, with the occasional Vita exclusive, and opening them. I'm not interested in obtaining a complete set for reasons many have covered from expense to subjectively nonessential releases. I have about seven titles thus far and my critical impressions from those that I've beaten are all across the board. Most stuff on my wishslist still remains quite elusive so my current purchases have admittedly been shots in the dark. Having said that, I know LRG has begun locking down on a number of stuff that people have been clamoring for in the beginning so I'm happy to see requests come true. Also, I'm glad to help out a company that's pushing for physical releases. I look forward to the remainder of the year as I'll take a stab at both "Shantae" games and possibly "Silver Case" even though I'd much rather have a console port.
 
Snagged a copy of One Way Heroics for Vita first thing this morning. Woo hoo! Can't wait to give this game a try :)

BTW, how quickly do these games tend to ship? This is my first experience w/ LRG...

for the last game they shipped in batches, first was just vita orders so my order shipped on the following Monday
 
Wow, there's still a lot of PS4 stock for both games for the first batch. This isn't looking good in comparison with other releases; the first batch always sold out quick.

Currently 470 for OWH and 212 for TWA.
 
That's what people wanted though, not having to rush to get games. Can't have both. It's impossible to hit the sweet spot every time and this is better than a Soldner situation.

Don't think it's a problem as long as it sells out in the end. This was a HUGE print run after all

I expected this. PS4 always holds up Vita releases back and it will be no different in future.

Just give me some of those Koei Tecmo games before one of the PS4 games puts LRG in jeopardy.
 
Thought the print was going to be evenly divided across the 2 batches. But that is not the case apparently:


Limited Run Games ‏@LimitedRunGames 8 min.
Thomas Was Alone and One Way Heroics on PS4 are both almost gone until the second, smaller, batch at 6PM! Get 'em at http://limitedrungames.com

Anyway, glad I already secured my copies.
 
Lol, well this escalated quickly.

In an ideal world LRG sellout, but not in the first few minutes. That seems to be what's happening here. Games will sell out, maybe it'll take 48 hours or so but they'll go. Perfect scenario, everyone who wants one can get one and inventory gets cleared.

Let's wait and see what happens before proclaiming anything else.

(Although anything to speed up Koei-Tecmo releases on Vita from LRG will be welcomed :P)

It has been divided like this for the past few runs, the first is always bigger.
 
No need to worry about the PS4 releases, these will certainly sell out. We're aiming to try and provide enough where they can last a weekend. I believe we've hit a good spot. People who are showing up right now are probably waiting until 6PM so they can order Vita copies with their PS4 copies and save on shipping. :)

Yeah, we get 3x the traffic on the first batch versus the second so we offer a larger amount of inventory then and it helps keep things smooth.
 
I'm happy about the larger stock, I forgot to order this morning but was still able to get a PS4 copy of OWH. :)

Helps that I'm going for PS4 over Vita though, I suppose.
 
I've always kinda wished these stayed in stock longer, glad to see these hitting a good stride. A weekend would be great, happy that hear it if that's the goal.
 
is it possible to modify a LRG order after you've made it without compromising the rest of your order? I ordered 2 copies of PS4 one way heroics and would like to change it to 1 if possible.
 
Stuck a PS4 copy of One Way Heroics in my cart, will wait for the second Vita batch to arrive before hitting checkout, though. Yay for Paypal and not having to pay my bank a 3% foreign transaction fee.
 
Got all 4 games during the morning batch without any issues - keep up the great work LRG! :D

Was a specific date announced for the Shantae games yet?
I'm a HUUUUGE fan of the franchise (have the original GBC game CIB, digital copies of the sequels on multiple platforms, and dropped $200 on the Half-Genie Hero Kickstarter) and definitely want to add these to my collection! :)

Definitely in for The Silver Case whenever that goes live too!
 
Stock update for those who are curious:

Mystery Chronicle: One Way Heroics (PS4) - 1,366
Mystery Chronicle: One Way Heroics (Vita) - 649
Thomas Was Alone (PS4) - 1,022
Thomas Was Alone (Vita) - 561
