The funny thing is that the regular version is the only one that is truly limited (numbered), for now.

Well, they are pretty expensive (specially on shipping) so I had to pick only one.

The price increase of $40/$50 is justified if you consider that this Lan Di statue is a bit larger, has a replaceable arm and much more details on the clothes and the hair. And he's even holding the Dragon Mirror in his left hand.

Have to agree on the inflated shipping costs though. $60 to get them shipped (to Germany in my case) is very steep, but the "shipping discount" when you order both is even more of a slap in the face. $100 for shipping, ugh.
Would be pricey even if they shipped them directly from the US but no, they send them from the UK.
Oh well, what can you do...

That price is crazy. How long do f4f normally take to charge you the full amount? And can u cancel down the road?

You can definitely cancel. I had to end up cancelling my Ryo.

When is full payment due? I think I will have to let this go too with my money being very limited after the Kickstarter.

When it ships, probably like a year from now if the first one and Akira were anything to go by.

It might not mean a lot, but the official Sega Facebook posted a link to the preorder.

As long as the payments are about a year away then we are good! Just placed my order!

I think when we do get Shenmue news, about 3 or 4 big pieces come within the same week and get us really excited. But come next week, and possibly the week after, then it some will get bored and criticize the team and such.

The criticizing part being everyone's favorite, of course. I thought it was clear everyone here is a game designer in a way or another. :D
