simonsoup Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Similarly, it's the book that appeals to me - not that they've shown anything from the inside yet, weirdly! I'd consider that as a separate purchase but can't see it happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because with a 170$ price tag, plus 60$ for shipping, plus the pretty much unavoidable customs fees for such a bulky box, we're looking at a 300$ plus investment I understand the $60 fee includes customs charges? Or so I saw someone say. Edited December 11, 2020 by ThunderPeel2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threadbarer Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Just pre-ordered mine. I'm hoping that if it sells well, with the renewal of "Lucasfilm Games," we might see a new Monkey Island game someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Well, on the last day of pre-orders, I finally bit the bullet and placed my order. I really hope it's worth it, it's quite a bit of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yffisch Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I would like this one, but I would not even dare to open in case I would regret that after 20 years if the value will be huge with a sealed one. And buying two of them would be too expensive and also quite greedy because someone else may want one. I'll skip this one! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummbuddy Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Limited Run Games has sent out an update today to those who purchased this MI Anthology. Text Quote All we’re waiting on now is final approval for the completed 160+ page anniversary book and the hand-signed certificate of authenticity by series creator Ron Gilbert. That’s right, hand-signed! There are roughly 10,000 of these for Ron to sign. That’s a lot of certificates to get through for one person, so we’re sending Ron our energy! Wow, umm, that's a crazy amount of signatures to be putting on a person. That's also holding up work Ron could be doing on their next game. If a signature takes 5 seconds, that extrapolates out to just under 14 hours of labor PLUS he can't use his hand to type on a keyboard for maybe a week. I'm sorry Ron!

ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Agreed. That's insane. Still by my rough calculations you could do it in five, extremely boring and carpel tunnel syndrome inducing, hours. (I timed myself writing 40 signatures in one minute.) Ron's too smart to agree to something like that, though? Is he going to stamp them or something instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Udvarnoky Posted September 21, 2021 Author Share Posted September 21, 2021 Unceremoniously pushed back again, to 2022. I prefer to think @Laserschwertfound a subatomic flaw in the box art and halted productuon by heaving his body into the gears. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elle Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Does that mean they'll reopen the pre-orders at some point? Or am I still bedeviled to pay 4 million dollars for it on eBay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagomorph01 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Laserschwert is obviously payed to deny everything about the incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 My best guess is they shot themselves in the foot by promising certificates hand-signed by Ron Gilbert, and then accidentally selling multiple thousands of boxsets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udvarnoky Posted September 21, 2021 Author Share Posted September 21, 2021 I think they realized they made a tragic mistake in eliminating the Ultimate Insult sketch and are willing to pull out all the stops to atone for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummbuddy Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 They may just be feeling the pinch from the global shipping crate shortage and ship docking backups. But also the many, many signatures may have been an oops-ie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) 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! Edited December 10, 2021 by Laserschwert 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laserschwert Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 My guess is they wanted to avoid potential derp face eyes by using stickers instead of having them hand-painted on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) It looks like it's being faithful to the MI2:SE sprites, which had these (to me) creepy eyes. I just was hoping for the statue to look more like Guybrush from that CGI trailer. Edited December 11, 2021 by Marius My text got lost the first time I posted. Rewrote it.
