Endwalker Collector's Box

[youne]

Well, Fanfest came with the Endwalker preorder information, which was both expected and welcome! Also expected, and much less welcome, was the Square Enix online shop becoming unusable along with the announcement. Lots of people (me too!) were unable to purchase the Collector's Box before it sold out, as the store was inaccessible. The FFXIV official twitter account's post about the Collector's Edition didn't come until after the box was sold out.

That's a lot (seriously, a lot) of people who tried to pay the 190USD and couldn't.

Of course, scalpers are already listing the Boxes they managed to get.

This is not a great business practice. I understand wanting to have limited runs. But I seriously doubt the physical goods are already manufactured. Wouldn't it be better to simply leave preorders open for a set amount of time? That still creates a limited edition, and increases the amount of money Square receives, and helps cut down on the amount of scalpers.

This was expected, but still very disappointing. I was very excited for the artwork and pin especially, but couldn't even get the online store to open until after the Box was "sold out."

They had a 2nd wave of box editions for SB and SHB. I don't see why they wouldn't do it a 3rd time.

That's good to know!

Most of my friends weren't able to get in on time

They'll release it in another wave. Maybe even more than one if the demand is high.

Irony is this doesn't even include the game - it's just the physical items (the expansion is going to be digital download only now).

Still, I want this so bad - Derplander-as-PLD statue, Azem Crystal... SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY SE!!!

While I do hope for further releases, as everyone says will happen (which is good), I'm just worried that the same thing will just happen again, with the store going down and people being unable to purchase the things they want.

The Azem Pin sold the physical items to me and the mini plush

I hope they offer more as well. They sold out so fast! Less then an hour I think?

the CE took about 2-3 hours to sell out. I was checking even well after live letter.

I didn't even know the collectors edition went on sale and its already sold out. Will there be any more be made available?
