Yooka-Laylee on Switch through Limited Run Gammes

[Tek]

I guess mine just hasn't been emailed yet then. Oh well, won't matter anyways if I manage to order the Collectors edition.

Limited Run Games is emailing 64-bit edition backers and higher with a link to the "Backer Edition" collector's edition of the game and a unique promo code that significantly reduces the cost of said collector's edition to those backers. The Backer Edition CE won't be released to the public until Sept. 10th at Midnight EST, giving those backers a chance to preorder their copy first (if they so desire). The list price for the Backer Edition CE is $249.99, reduced to just $34.99 with the unique promo code sent to backers of the 64-bit edition tier and higher.

So I'm not going mad. Yet.

That's a HUGE discount. And glad us backers get first dibs. Is the coloured cart for backers only, or will non backers get a shot at it too?

Is there a 64 bit or above backer that is not planning to purchase the backer edition? Contact me by private message and we can arrange something...

Wow, the 'Switch Limited Run #13: Yooka-Laylee Classic Edition' is sold out already!
Within 1 or 2 minutes, I think...

Luckily I got one!


Edit:
The Classic Edition's page now states:
'This item is currently sold out. More will be available later today at 6 PM Eastern Time.'

I think they do them in two batches, but that the first batch is the biggest.
The next smaller batch will be at 6pm Eastern time which I think is 10pm Friday GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).

I'd have settled for the standard version if I had to, but I'm happy to say I was able to snag a copy of the Classic Edition! Glad the discount code worked for that one, too. It's insane how quickly that batch sold out.

As far as I can tell, yes. The stuff listed for both the regular CE and the Backer Edition CE is the same other than the cart being coloured for the Backer CE, so I can only assume they're otherwise the same. You'd have to get in touch with Limited Run Games if you really wanted to be certain, though.

Did anyone manage to get their orders?
