Since it appears that there will not be a restock of the Collector's Edition box for Endwalker based on SE's current plans, how many here would be interested in getting a Collector's Edition if they could? Maybe if there is enough stated interest SE could be made to reconsider.

My thought was that they could re-open pre-orders for a set window (say 1 week in July) and everyone who was still interested could get an order in. They could then produce enough additional sets just to cover those new pre-orders and not have to worry about ending up with extra stock that wouldn't sell. The caveat here might be that the newly produced sets would not be available until some time after the expansion itself launched (but since you get the game code separately now you'd still be able to play the expansion at launch).

So, would you be interested/willing to pre-order and pre-pay if CEs were put on offer again?

Would you be okay with a potential delay in the shipping of the physical collector's items until after the EndWalker launch?

And, as there may be additional production costs in doing a second run, would you be okay with potentially paying more for your CE than those who were able to pre-order originally?
