It went on sale today. Its less than $20 right now. I'm sure this will be a collector's item some day.

Seeing as how it is the top selling book, I don't think this will ever be hard to find.That leatherbound one (sold out long ago) with a small print run will probably be, though.

I ordered the LE a while back. There is still a couple of weeks until those start shipping out though.

That's what I was about to say. You can't become rare and collectible while being the #1 book on Amazon.

That depends if it is still in print in some way in 5-10 years. I mean Wind Waker on GameCube is a common game and they printed a ton of them, but when I looked at the Zelda games yesterday, it was commanding almost 50 bucks on Amazon. It really depends if the people who are buying the book keep their own copies or not.

I find that supplemental materials like this don't really tend to fetch premiums the way that the actual games do.

Will it hold it's value 10 years from now? Probably. It's not gonna be some $60-80 collectable though.

A good comparison might be Nintendo Power player's guides and such.

Yeah, I imagine it will hover around the 20-30 dollar mark, keeping its value over time. Though the CE will fetch more because of its limited run obviously.
