He got more specific in a forum post on the (now gone) Double Fine forums. Edit: Found it on archive.org. And reading the comments now, I think I took them more personal back then, as they don't read that bad now that I see them again. He still called me a jerk in some other comment though 😄

If only devs were able to include the Switch version of ScummVM, as it also supports AGS, if I'm not mistaken. Generally this would allow for so many ports.

I doubt that's the reason, since Thimbleweed Park got a proper, glued big box. But even then, the classic folded boxes were much more straight and at least able to stand upright on their own, while the Broken Age box keeps tipping over. And yeah, I think Europe kept getting glued two part boxes throughout the releases. Although it's a bit weird that a period through the 90s only had those thin flap-top boxes (CMI, Grim, Jedi Knight and all those SW Episode 1 tie-ins), while EfMI and even the Mysteries of the Sith expansion for JK went back to a two-part box.

How can there be no numbers on the pages, but page numbers in the table of contents?

Hey, @CHAOSMAN, haven't read from you for years! Yeah, those dioramas are great, I've seen them pop up every now and then over the last few years.

Well, season 1 has been review-bombed to death on GOG (at a ridiculous 2.9 out of 5), and unlike on Steam, hasn't recovered from it. I wouldn't blame them if they'd avoid GOG's abusive rating system (where you can up- and downvote ratings, I think?) for the time being.

I'd be up for that, although as a fan project, exact replicas could be regarded as bootlegs. Our MI:SE box was at least a mostly original design.

Oh man, that sucks...

The contents of the USB and the reason for two ToMI discs are the two biggest question marks for me.

Ah, I haven't checked the product page, thanks. Makes sense - they announced that apart from the English DOS versions of 1 & 2 (and whatever is on the USB drive), everything else would be the GOG versions. That means the two SEs and 3 & 4 are multi-language. However, I still don't understand why Tales comes on two discs then. @Rum RogersCould you check the USB drive and let us know which versions are on there?

Ah, so it's CDs, not DVDs. Weird choice... and surprising that MI3 and MI4 still fit on a single disc. Are the GOG versions so small?

How are the discs divided anyway? I've seen that 1&2 are on Disc 1 and 3&4 on Disc 2. If Tales is on Disc 3, what's on Disc 4?

I've updated the Rebel Assault 2 poster with a new version, built from the ground up by scanning the official promo poster (thanks again to @Jake for that one!) and filling the rest with scans by @ATMcashpoint and myself). As always, a massive upgrade in quality. Enjoy!

All mails LRG sents me are going straight to the spam folder, so make sure you check in there. "In production" is usually the status up until it switches to "shipped", so just be patient, it'll go through. If it doesn't, you can always contact their support. They always have spares.

I regret not getting LRG's Switch version of Thimbleweed Park. Only got Fangamer's PC box.

I think with most of their games getting different tiers of editions, it might be viable for them to offer a smaller edition as the second run. Sure, there are people stating that they would have bought the current edition, but missed the pre-order period. However, I think those are in the minority and most potential buyers for this edition got one. On the other hand, many people deemed the current edition too expensive for them and expressed interest mostly in the book, so a smaller edition that puts the book front and center could pull in different customers.

Any special artworks in the book? Sounded like they didn't have much more than what I sent them.

The problem with that is, they are targeting collectors. If they suddenly reprint something that was sold as a limited product, the backlash would be huge.

It's Limited Run Games... there's not gonna be a reprint. From the photos I can already tell there are a few more things I'd have fixed beforehand, but due to my communication with LRG I'm fully aware that this was changed in very little time, and I'm happy that they went with a lot of my design proposals (which I've basically just threw at them to make sure they DON'T release their initial black box).

Here the statue doesn't look too bad:

Nope, misprint. Shit happens.

They communicated that the world-wide shipping container shortage was the main reason for the delay, but Ron stated that he welcomed that delay.

My guess is they wanted to avoid potential derp face eyes by using stickers instead of having them hand-painted on.

That's not my photo, it's from LRG's Twitter page. Still waiting like everyone else.

It looks like LRG listened once again and swapped out the awful Murray head with the great version used in ToMI. Also that book looks so massive, I'm psyched!
