I think they outsource the goodies in the collector's eofditions from different places and have to wait until they all get in to package up the collector editions.
On the bright side they sent me an email letting me know that that the Shadowrun Collectors Edition had been delivered - so I was able to bring it in form the front door within a few minutes of the arrival. I am not aware of any porch pirate events on my block but I figure it is only a matter of time. Being retired has some advantages. Anyway the email about the delivery is a giant step forward IMHO. I have to say LRG is really stepping up their game (as it were).
