Still seems to be available now (not going to order a second one to confirm ๐Ÿ˜‚)

The scalpers trying to resell them for 100% profit must be mad right now!

Limited Edition can mean, "Available only for this period," and not actually limited in quantity.

I hope the scalpers go bankrupt.

That'd be some top tier trolling by Valve lol.

Not impossible, one of their goals for it is to see how many people would want one, so with a 2-4 week promised lead time they might be planning to manufacture them entirely according to the demand.

I don't know where 2-4 weeks comes from, maybe Canada(Your comment isn't the first time I've seen it)?

The delivery date (at least what I'm seeing) is 1-2 weeks, not the shipping date.

For instance, mine already has a label ready, just waiting on UPS to update for the estimated day.

Said so on the page itself at the bottom.

Maybe they sold what stock they had and since updated it to take into account the manufacturing or a second batch?
