Opening 17 Limited Run Blind Box Games

[@ChonkUm]

I've had psn for over a decade between ps3 and ps4, and it's crazy that a lot of these games were $1-3, if not free with psn, and LRG makes a killing on making them physical. It feels kinda cool in some respects, but kinda slimy as well.

[@poetictragady]

Absolutely nothing slimy. First of all, these games are given limited physical copies for fans who do NOT want digital only titles. So obscure games even if they were $1 on psn cost a lot to make physical hence why it’s a limited run. Just because someone wants to resell it for $30-60 doesn’t mean you have to buy it either that’s not LRG fault. Infact Shantae and the pirates curse originally sold on LRG for $30 now goes for $500 because of scalpers. This isn’t LRG fault for wanting to make physical games for collectors. They’re smart they don’t just flood the market with games no one wants.

[@sethchristopher2213]

Slimy feels very weird to me. Theyre giving these games the chance for physical after they had originally been denied that chance, they dont sell for ridiculous prices on the site itself. Its really a great system for everyone involved except if youre looking to buy the more popular titles after their run has ended

[@50TBRD]

When new they’re around 25 bucks. Pretty reasonable when you consider they’re not produced in the quantities that mainstream titles are. Then you have to figure in all the licensing and production costs.

[@lurkinhehe]

@@poetictragady that'd be true if not for the fact that they keep a big portion of their limited copies on their stock for events, associates thus artificially rising the price of their product making them more scarce and/or "valuable"

[@TipeONegatyve]

Blind boxes are basically like opening packs of magic the gathering or Pokemon... It's a money sink. LRG knows this and has made a killing on them.

[@WBsteve]

yup, you do it for the fun of opening. If you do it to try and make money you are dumb.

[@TipeONegatyve]

@Dot Com yeah but a lot of them barely sell. And on ebay there are a lot of buyers with 0 feedback who try to scam. They will buy full price without making an offer. Happens to me all the time on there. Also, he got mist of the ones that sell for 25 or under and after shipping youre losing at least $10. Also, he got pretty lucky actually. If you go look at other videos they got all the the $30 and under games.

[@trevor245]

@Dot Com you can also do that with Pokémon or magic packs. It's definitely not as bad value wise but since it's mostly limited run just clearing up old stock chances of getting good ones is probably also fairly low.

[@ElusiveS3NPAI]

I bought 10 once and kept 3 that I really liked and hoped to get. The other 7 I sold and made bit more money back than what I paid for it 😁

[@mangaymer]

Ah, LRG... The ones who prevented me from an affordable Shantae collection...

[@brettrogames]

Watching this a year later almost has shown me how much cooler your room has gotten this past year lol 😂 keep it up man love the content!

[@gm08351]

who else hate this reseller

[@gavinmorin]

My favorite Limited Run release is probably the recent Scott Pilgrim vs the World on PS4. Its my favorite movie of all time and I never played the game back when it originally came out and thought I missed my chance but it's back on digital game shops and they did a limited run physical release that I had to pick up.

[@ladynikkie]

I love the Scott Pilgrim movie too and when I heard they were selling the game on their website I had to get it. I also didn't get a chance to play it because I didn't own a PS3 at the time at least that way I can get a physical copy just in case it gets removed out of the digital market again.

[@medmuscle]

@@ladynikkie I know that this post is old, but Ubishit put DRM on the physical game. You have to register the game online, and it's even more scummy that LRG allowed this to happen. They are supposed to be "physical forever", but this game can be taken away from you if Ubishit sees fit to do so.

[@christianvago6894]

Since you bought all these games from the same order they all got pulled from the same case and each case has a set amount with no doubles. Only way you could get doubles if you made more than one order. Great video Caleb

[@comixof2morrow]

Great info, Thank You!

[@panagiotaAm109]

My favorite Limited Run game is Firewatch for the PS4! Great video!

[@ladynikkie]

I would hold on to dear life to that Curse of the Moon. Even though it was printed a while back, it is still sought after especially the Vita version and LR isn't printing Vita games anymore. I bought the collector's edition for the ps4 I kind of wish I bought the switch version too. But still excellent collection you got there yeah I think limited run mentioned this year's mystery boxes they had an overstock from last year's that's why people are getting more random stuff. And to answer your question, my favorite is Curse of the Moon I purchased the collector's edition that looks like an NES Konami box

[@CheapFindsGoldMines]

This was a cool concept! This looks like it could potentially be dangerous, Aimee and I would get addicted to the unknown lol.

[@brianngoriko1756]

Nex Machina very good game 10/10

[@Mobliz]

Crawl is actually a pretty fun game to play with friends.

[@Anime_Fan_0069]

Nice video dude. It seems that Limited Run PSVita games and Switch ones go for alot of money.

[@rogerarteaga2665]

Not really the PS4 versions cost more

[@ladynikkie]

A few of them are but I think most collectors are going after the Vita games since limited run has discontinued printing them.

[@poetictragady]

Nah every switch one I’ve ever gotten has held it’s value far more than ps4 hate to tell you.

[@Donaldewoodward]

"The next one is drrrr o Organ trail." Had me rollin!!! Lmao

[@KevKlopper]

"Let's see if they give us good games" - "assss 2 breed?!"

[@Bojanglez667]

Nice video dude, that Dariusburst CS goes for a little bit more because when it released it was 49.99. I know because I bought it for that much, lol.

[@Alon0009]

My favorite Limited Run game is Celeste Limited Edition for the Switch. I managed to buy it when it came out, opened it, and played it, still stuck at chapter 9. I'm never going to sell or trade it.

[@Denka_]

6:50 LOL i thought you were gonna say something else

[@bocanegrageorge]

The number on the spine is number release for the system so p13 is their 13th release for ps4. Reason the back doesn't match is because that included the vita games in that total

[@comixof2morrow]

The Original Oregon Trail was different than Organ Trail. Oregon Trail is legendary

[@TheSuperman559]

Well Caleb I always enjoy your videos but idk about buying games blind because I have not heard of any of those games lol except organ trail but only for pc in the early 90s I played it in grade school before we had internet around lol

[@kellenderry9229]

Oregon Trail is an old school PC game. Be careful to not get typhoid or cholera on your journey out west.

[@charles5487]

Literally old school. It was on most school PCs back in the 90s.

[@codymarschall1589]

Except if you saw that correctly it said organ trail not Oregon trail lol

[@kellenderry9229]

@@codymarschall1589 he asked if there was a game called Oregon Trail too, but we all appreciate the "gotcha"-like ignorant commenting

[@candy_bear_5325]

The amount of times I died of Dysentery was astounding.

[@trim407]

Don't really buy a whole lot of Limited Run titles, but got Corpse Killer and Gunhouse. Out of those, I definitely prefer Gunhouse. I'd like to get more Limited Run titles in the future, but usually the games don't fully appeal to me. Or, I just don't have the money.

[@DecimatedSoul]

I wasn't interested until I saw the Bloodstained game that's awesome man

[@onelowx]

That $42 Race the Sun Vita sale was mine. That's cool to see it pop up on your channel. :)

[@PhoenixResale]

Haha congrats on that one!

[@EdsHead]

I just unloaded a good amount of my sealed PS4 Limited Run collection on eBay and I wouldn't be surprised if one of those sold you mentioned was mine. I let them go cheap just to move them since I had so many.

[@creekandseminole]

Switch collecting is so much fun. Not just the rare kind but all kinds.

[@lazyPawdy]

limited runs are usually indie games on PC that are good, but has been sold cheap as digital. Only reason why I am not on the Limited Run hype.

[@danieljimenez1989]

I believe the discrepancy between the lrg #26 and ps4 #15 numbering is due to the lrg numbering considering all consoles (vita, switch, etc) and the ps4 numbering being limited to the releases on that console.

[@lookitskazzy]

I did this once, never again. You do sometimes get a game with decent value but they mostly use it to dump real stinkers. At the end of the day after fees you end up even or with a small loss if you're flipping. Add the time it takes to process sales and it's definitely not worth it. I resold most of them via Amazon and ebay.

[@maromorostar6621]

Nex Machina actually a good game 🔥

[@IrieIslandGaming]

Had a lot of fun watching this video!

[@aaronkennedy490]

As with anything collection based, they are numbered. So that game was the 26th game but its actual print for that specific game is #15 out of however many were made.

[@daniellara8007]

42k that’s nuts! LOL it seems like it was just yesterday that you were at 1k

[@PhoenixResale]

Haha thanks Daniel! It’s been a wild ride!

I like how you seemed actually shocked that they sent you nothing but crap titles, lol that's 100% what LRG will ALWAYS do.

[@yournightmare9999]

That's true is a trash games

[@sandrokan.]

You clearly didn’t watch the full video, he got a 150 $ game and many other 80$ 70$ 60$ 50$ games

[@wowgek7]

I know this is an old video but lrg gets their blindboxxes in boxxes of 30 and all 30 are unique games. so they fill the orders 1 box at the time so the only way too get duplicates is if part of your order comes from 1 box and part 2 from another

[@IEBIGCAT]

Nice video, limited run, super rare games, play Asia, red art games, pixel art games, all make short print physical copies of digital or older games, they are all hit and miss but some are worth reselling esp, very low numbers mainly for Nintendo switch but do not sleep on the ps vita..... good luck everyone PEACE

[@denniscleary7580]

I always keep an eye for new LRG, I just recently got Doom 64 for switch from them and just ordered Doom 1-3 collection for switch. Another gem to get from them Is Everspace Galactic Edition

[@davewest3137]

Glad u got some good value games love this content Caleb 😁

[@cheese-vl5bv]

my favourite release that limited run did was the collection of Doom 1,2 and 3 for switch, I wish I bought it!

[@avarpg6140]

Where do you find these? I checked their website but I couldn’t find it.🤨 also do these only come in PlayStation or is there switch too?

[@chubbs2067]

I haven’t felt this old in awhile... never heard of one of these games, time to head to the retirement house.

[@Ocelot35]

These indie games made sense on the Vita... but I've never understood putting them on the PS4.. and now the PS5. It's like 50MB of data on a bluray disk? Not to mention they would still run on old hardware. What's the point of having a huge collection of PS5 games that would run fine on a PS3...

[@PrestoHobbies]

I bought two PS4 and one Switch blind box and made my money back big time. Each PS4 game went for on average 50-60 and the Switch game went for 60-70

[@gemmintheroes174]

It's worth more sealed just like unopen boxes of sports cards :) Enjoyed the unboxing regardless.

[@dtuck1980]

Can't say that's for me but cool to watch you open them haha. Took too many to get a higher dollar game. You'd definitely want to do it if the only intent is to play them.

[@iamgerer]

Amazing videos buddy ❤️🔥 , liked and subscribed as u said 🙃

[@xschx1]

Most limited run games are open preorder, so all the people complaining they artificially print low amounts are wrong. They leave the preorder open for a set time and whatever orders they get are what they make and round up to the nearest 1000 I believe they said on their site. Then they have some extra to sell after and also print extra with alt covers for Best Buy. Also if people don't want to pay collectible price just buy the download of it. HOME is okay. I played it a few years ago. It was a $3-4 download. I think the reason switch and vita physical are worth more is because people want physical due to the limited storage of those systems, especially vita and their $$$ memory cards and the fact Sony is closing the store, physical will be all you can get soon

[@platinumshard8688]

Saturday Morning RPG on Switch is so far my favorite game I have found by Limited Run Games.

[@comixof2morrow]

I need that Oregon trail mate...I'll be your life long friend.

[@danielkennedy4282]

Great vid! (Hi from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 btw) were the trading cards worth anything?

[@CBT5777]

That cover of Nex Machina is worth 200 bucks now.

[@Alma-B]

Did you get any switch ones? I got both and think the switch ones are worth a bit more, those sold out pretty fast though.

[@HoonAgain]

This is great. Plz keep doing more blind boxes. And consider adding b role footage of each game being played a few seconds after u open the blind box reveal or while u open in corner so we can see game play. When possible, obviously u are not opening these. Would b super nice.

[@PhoenixResale]

Yeah I thought about that, it just like triples the time it takes to edit.

[@cachanilla1375]

I wish i was rich like this man to buy more vids games for my collection, unfortunately i need to same for months to get a new video game, video game prices on eBay are ridiculous expensive 😮😮😮😮, i really hard to afford a good video,and it doesn't matter if is a new video game from 2024, reseller's always sells video games for ridiculous amount of money 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[@niagarajoe4402]

Blind boxes are just like “mystery boxes” it’s just an outlet for companies to get rid of stock that sits...they do sprinkle some gems in, but they have to or they would get some bad press lol

[@TheBadGuuy]

River City Girls is my favorite Limited Run game so far. Pretty pricey of the Switch. PS4 Limited Runs seem to be the least valuable from what I've seen .

[@vronai17]

Va-11Hall-A is one I fell in love with.

[@comixof2morrow]

I would get card protectors for those limited run trading cards. I'm quite sure they will gain value.

I just ordered that crazy expensive Doom Trilogy shadow box set. lol.

[@QuinnNoble]

Nex Machina is so much fun. Do not overlook that title.

[@homefry84]

Bummer you missed out on the switch limited run boxes, with your switch collection it was a huge missed opportunity for your collection

[@indatubesurfer]

I’m curious what u get with the switch blind boxes!! Most limited run switch games hold value!

[@poetictragady]

Exactly why everyone buys them first. Plus carts last longer than CD

[@TheRetroWorld]

This was cool!

[@shopepicgifts9468]

Question: do you recommend using limited run for arbitrage?

[@NuclearAbyss]

If we are being honest about 80% of what LR releases is shovel Ware or release by another company. The only good stuff I seen is, no more heroes 1 & 2, turok 1 & 2, panzer dragoon, Scott pilgrim vs the world, curse of the moon, samurai jack and blasphemous (before someone else release it).

Those blind boxes or blind anything for that matter won't ever give you a big return in profit. You can hope to break even but the company wont make money if each of those games will be worth more than what their blind games sell for. It is the same for sports card boxes.
