Limited Editions

Does anyone know if Revomaze plans on producing more of the 'limited edition' puzzles? The only reason I ask is that I found the Orange in my puzzle collection that I didn't even know that I had. I must have purchased it years ago and forgot all about it.

In any case, I'm not asking because I want to sell it. I PROMISE. I'm asking because it's just cool to know that we are but a handful of owners of these specific puzzles.

The concept of "limited editions" is sometimes complicated with Revomaze, because occasionally, puzzles thought to have stopped production pop up.

There have been three puzzles that have always been available since they were introduced: Blue, Green, and Bronze.

At this point in time, there are seven puzzles in production: Blue, Green, Bronze, Aqua, Indigo, Gunmetal, and Copper. The rest of the puzzles are claimed to be "out of production".

Out of all the puzzles, there are a couple that you can be nearly certain will never be produced again, because they were produced with designs from old engineers. Such puzzles include Red and Black LE.

Occasionally some puzzles are "found", such as orange, lime, or silver, but they probably aren't actively being produced.

The maze that confuses me the most is the gunmetal. It is listed as limited but still shows more stock coming. Was the “limited” release just the Marbles versions? I’m assuming the copper won’t be around much longer either as it’s listed as limited as well but is a newer maze correct? I also don’t understand some of the release numbers as well. Orange says limited to 250 but I have seen several serial numbers that go past #250. Were buyers allowed to choose their S/N to be able to go beyond the #250? It would be nice to have a little clearer picture of the actual release numbers of the special and limited editions.

In the shop you can also find that the following mazes is in the state "WAITING PRODUCTION": Silver, Orange, Titanium and Lime. So I think these will soon be produced again (a totally surprise for me due to I read this yesterday).

I think they are simply mis-categorized. The descriptions state that they will no longer be produced.

also interesting if these limited editions are now reproduced.
Then they will lose value and their state "limited"

well, you collect to enjoy a puzzle or, in a more selfish way, to get something that almost nobody have? :D

For myself, I don't view it as buying a puzzle so no one else can have it, only that I am willing to pay a premium for a rare puzzle. If that puzzle were later produced in enough volume to lower the value of my puzzle below what I paid for it, I would be annoyed. I have no problem with someone who really wants a specific puzzle also paying a premium to get a copy (and I do wish this was an option in more cases, but alas...).
