Apologies if this breaks any rules about promotion, but Limited Run Games is a pretty cool outfit, and this is some pretty awesome merch.

I was wondering what the catch was here, since Limited Run Games is widely known for producing absolute shit products branded as collectibles. $700 for this, lmao.

LRG is the company that sold $150 CD-Rs for 3DO, produced NES cartridges that can fry consoles with unsafe voltage (big preservation W, amirite?), pressed vinyl records from lossy compressed source audio, regularly sells "physical collectible games" that require patches, and justifies the low quality of their "premium collectible" products by saying that their customers don't play the games so it's okay.
