One of the websites that recently interviewed Yoshi P asked him about the physical collectors edition. This was the answer

I do want to note we have continued to carefully consider the quantity of our physical CEs, based on quantities and sales from previous expansions; however, the recent influx of players greatly surpassed our expectations, which resulted in a shortage of supply over the great demand for CEs. Unfortunately it takes a very long time to produce all of the different merchandise items and figure for the CE, and we tried to readjust the allocation globally, but every region was at their capacity, and we were unable to add any more stock.

We hope that you can understand, and again I would like to give my sincerest apologies for this.
Myself and many other people did not get to order the physical collectors edition box. We didn't even know preorders went up by the time we found out they were long gone sold out in a very short time.

Yoshi P said the items in the collector's edition items take a long time to make. But my question is: Can you make more of the collector's edition box, do a 2nd wave of them but say these will arrive after the launch of Endwalker at a later date to give them time to be made. I wouldn't mind getting the collector's edition box even if it arrives much later than the first batch at least I would be getting it. I wouldn't even mind it arriving like 6 or so months after the game is out.

People are selling these for $550 to $800 on ebay. Nobody wants to pay that much for it. So it would be nice if SE does a 2nd batch of these for people who did not get to preorder the first time.
