What was original retail price of A +A Anniversary Edition?

@Imperious:

ok. I paid $59.95 each for 6 copies and free ship and tax ( coolstuffinc). Latter sold 5 for $250 each. Should have bought all 2,000. If i knew it was limited i would have.

Tell me about it!

I won’t dare let go of my 5 copies!  Those bastages at corporate won’t release more!  Maybe I should go join Occupy Wall Street and DEMAND MORE COPIES OF ANNIVERSARY!  (That’s what it’s all about, right!?!  :wink: )

I got into the board game too late to buy the 50th Ann :(.  Did not know the game (A&A in general) even existed untill 2004/2005.  They know how to keep a low profile.  First copy i ever got was spring 42 in 2009

Spring 42 is a good game!  It’s like the Anniversary edition rules with its own map (resembling Revised the most) but without NO’s or tech….  If Anniversary did not exist, Spring 42 would probably be my favorite.

I paid £50.00 in the UK for my Anniversary edition when it first came out.

I’m 90 percent sure that it was $100

That sounds right to me too.

That was retail in hobby stores.

Is that right Imperious Leader?  They only produced 2000 copies of AAA?  No wonder prices are so high…

collector item. I got one for $60-$100 pre ordered on the day of release. It was under $120 so I bought it. Otherwise you count your lucky charms I would get a cardboard box, smack kinkos up, spray paint some pieces for italy, and call it a day.

Wait… Imp, could you answer this?  How do you know?  Or were you just taking a guess?  I’ve looked everywhere on two different copies of the game, can’t find any print number or other indicator…

They went quick, that’s for sure.  Current prices online are still crazy prices.

I read that somewhere, so it may be true or not.

Ah.  Cheers.  Damns… was thinking there was a product number hidden somewhere.

It’s a great game!  Glad I was back into Axis and Allies in Fall 2008 and got my copy!

I think I paid over 120$ (I don’t live at the US) but I simply didn’t care because the was the only copy at the store and the guy who had ordered it had cancelled the order. One of the best Xmas I had :D

His loss!

This one is going for quite a bit - one of his armies is painted and has some transfers… nice.
