Sounds like an explanation, especially since those copies on eBay were still sealed. Let's hope a few more will turn up, I'm still looking for a shrinked US release. It's amazing how quickly leftover stock from a single source can devalue an item on eBay. Duckman comes to mind... used to be $300, is now $25 after a German GTZ user sold some 50 copies to most of the serious adventure collectors out there. Made a small fortune that way. Wasn't me, unfortunately ;) /Alexander -----Original Message----- From: Stuart Feldhamer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, February 02, 2003 12:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SWCollect] WC3: Premiere Edition I own both of these games.

Stuart -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Zöller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, February 01, 2003 6:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SWCollect] WC3: Premiere Edition I was surprised to see two shrinkwrapped copies on eBay within as little as two weeks: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3000847934 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3002417968 I know we've been discussing this before - production run significantly lower than that of the Kilrathi Saga, Premiere Edition's value *should* be higher than the Saga's in view of its availability, etc. I remember that someone on this list gave the Saga's production figure as 22,000 copies and the Premiere Ed's as 1,500. Wondering if anyone is able to confirm this, especially if the discrepancy really is that big. Also if anyone has information about European releases of the Premiere Edition other than English and German. I've been told a French version does also exist. Here's a side-by-side comparison of the different boxes I have: http://uw3.de/wc3+saga.jpg Top: Premiere Ed European release (German version), Premiere Ed US release Bottom: WC3 German release, WC3 US release, Kilrathi Saga Thanks, /Alexander ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
