Limited Edition?! Sometimes that's just a marketing ploy to hype up sales via pre-orders by making it sound like there isn't going to be enough to go around and suddenly, everybody wants one because they're afraid that if they don't get it, the price is gonna skyrocket. Apparently Hot Toys did it with their Biohazard 4 Jack Krauser (Exclusive version) because the packing was standard for all. It wasn't exclusive in any way. There were certainly enough to go around then, not that you'll find many in the market now. They'd added the word "exclusive" to drum up sales. Guess what? Maybe it worked. Would you take that chance?

Is that all that's included with the figure?! Oh man that's just sad. Seems to me that Hot Toys is slowly embracing capitalism.
Shame on you Hot Toys, shame on you...
