Wolfenbarg Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 If Eternity does well, then I imagine they'll probably do a boxed version of the expansion plus the original game as some kind of collector's edition. But as far as boxed versions of this game go, there's not really a market for it unless it somehow does well enough for someone to cut a deal with them to sell it in stores.

DnaCowboy Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I was wondering if there will definitely be a boxed version of Project Eternity (manual, maybe a paper or cloth map, etc.), that will be available and can be ordered once the game is released? Or are the only boxed copies made going to be for those that knew about the game in time to pledge for the kickstarter physical goods tiers? Thanks for any info. I'd love a proper boxed version with a cloth map and a lovingly drawn manual laying out whats what. No matter how many times cats fight, there's always plenty of kittens.

ericw Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I hope there is a boxed version as I'd definitely buy it. I want a hard copy of the manual, so that I can read it when I'm not in front of the computer screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qacona Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Just in time production is a real thing. You can even do on demand printing these days (a lot of the smaller RPG publishers use this model). It's definitely not unreasonable for obsidian to (every few months) run off a batch of "supercool collectables stuff in a box" to flog to crazed fans at ridiculous prices. Gearbox do this with their loot chests and I'm sure they wouldn't if they were losing money on the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milczyciel Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 But I really guess it depends on their marketing strategy and the situation PE is in when they have to decide on boxed vs. distribution. I think physical goods outside of Kickstarter will not exist, but a boxed version maybe. Also I would be absolutely pissed off if they would just shell out a Collector's Edition. I backed that tier because I really wanted a Collector's Edition and not some mass market "collector's edition" Pretty much that's why I was trying to upgrade my tier for last 3 hours (and failed, but will try again after I'll get some sleep). Just wanted something really "special" and lasting (physical goods) that I could be proud of in many years to come. Well ok, and to show of, but just a little - mostly because not many of my friends would care :D ...aaand because most of my family won't ever understand the sheer level of awesomeness ("you paid HOW MUCH for that stupid box?!")

Unfaced Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I just upgraded to a CE Box, I sure am a sucker for physical things.....Also I love the Idea to get something unique, which is not available to everyone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericw Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Awesome! I can buy a boxed set for $50 now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lephys Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) I'm very glad people who initially missed out can get their boxed copies. ^_^ I cheer for you guys, as someone who pledged for a physical tier, but would've definitely been interested in getting a boxed copy now if I had been a little late to the party. Surely Obsidian must have access to some kind of quantum field generator, since we so well established earlier in this thread just how impossible it is that they could ever take orders for physical goods anytime after the Kickstarter ended, because reasons. Edited December 12, 2013 by Lephys 1 Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfenbarg Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Well it's there. I'm going to get it. Soon my little collection of matter, soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericw Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Well it's there. I'm going to get it. Soon my little collection of matter, soon. Me too. I ordered it, but the payment did not process. Doesn't give me a way to pay...guess I'll just wait for them to get the bugs worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunedain Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Well, I guess the issue of the boxed copies is settled. Apparently there will be boxed copies readily available for order when the game is released (pre-orders also, no doubt), now that Paradox has been brought onboard to handle marketing and distribution. So that's good news for the many rpg fans that will want the full boxed copy version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensuki Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) I thought Paradox was doing a physical release like any other game, that will be sold in the stores. You can pre-order a boxed copy atm, btw for $50 + shipping. Edited July 27, 2014 by Sensuki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
