Limited Edition in the collectibles world means
-a predetermined edition size announced before production.
If HL decides not to carry out the full edition size, for whatever reason,
I, as a collector, don't have a problem with that.The "unexpected" factor
in cutting the edition short, imo, can only in the long run, be benficial to
to us , the collector. It also keeps things exciting for the collector. I think
this was what John was conveying when he said he "kinda liked this one
every once in awhile."
If, however, they increased that number after an announced LE number, then I would have to question their integrity. I don't see HL ever doing this.
I also disagree with the idea of society members being offered every new piece
before they are offered to the general public. I agree with Sean, Tim & Paul
on this one. New collectors aren't going to appreciate getting the "pick of the crop" only if they "join-the-club." This seems a strong arm tactic to me,
hince, bad business.
Other unexpected things? Announcement of 2 Reunion sights...One East Coast..One West Coast? Rumor? No...just a wish.
