@Imperious:
I have 6 copies and 5 are sealed in original shipping box.
Don’t think for a second that they will reprint the game. They wont. This will go down exactly like Risk 40th Anniversary edition where all these freaks bought the damm game up in 3 weeks and if you went on a trip you would have never known that version came out because they were sold out faster than Paris falls in the springtime.
Buy at least one more copy or you will regret it. For all of you who think you will find it on the shelf as a markdown at Wallmart latter are fooling yourself. On Ebay in 1 years time it will be selling for $200 and go for more as the years pass.
Avalon Hill wont be reprinting it because they are Chimps, and Chimps have no idea how to market games and how to sell them. Eventually in another 5 years we will all see some other incarnation of this game will even possibly better components, but we need to worry out the first 5 years of what we will be playing first.
Its even possible that they will release a WW1 version of this game in 2014 Aug 1st the 100 year anniversary of the Great War.
I hear you on this, I would love to have one to keep sealed! The only problem is making the sale of “I should have at least two AA50 games” to the wifey. She loves gaming, but somehow this scenario comes to my mind:
Me: “I need another AA50 Anniversary game.”
Wife: “What? Why? Are you going to play both of them?!”
Me: “No, no! I’m just going to save it, never even open it!” :lol:
Wife: :x
then followed by a slap or punch depending on her mood, haha.
