Terra Luna is a physical 3D board game designed by Patrick Leder, Joseph Jaffe, and Adam Sidman. The game was released on March 10th, 2017 with its flagship Kickstarter campaign reaching over $3.3 million in funding. It has since been met with mixed reviews among the gaming community and currently resides as the most successful Kickstarter board game of all time. The rarity of the game’s release on shelves makes it an interesting investment opportunity for traders looking to profit from future price movements by anticipating when collectibles will become more accessible.
It is important to keep in mind that the trading value of collectibles rises and falls based on a number of factors. However, it is especially dependent on rarity, time remaining until next possible obtainment, and demand for the item. Therefore, in order to make a solid prediction for future price movements, we must first understand production limitations and how they correlate to demand dynamics.
Will LUNA recover?
Traders should be looking for the following factors in order to determine whether or not Terra Luna will ever recover:
How many units of Terra Luna were produced?
Production appears to have been limited to only 5,000 units. This is a small number considering the size of the original Kickstarter campaign and they are nearly sold out on the Terra Luna website. In addition, Leder Games indicated that they would have made an additional 5,000 copies if their Kickstarter goal had been met. Unfortunately, it was not and it’s unlikely that Leder Games has plans to print more unless they receive additional funding. Therefore, it’s unlikely there will be any production increases until demand significantly increases on its own accord.
How much is each Terra Luna copy worth?
Each copy of the physical game is currently being sold for $139.99 through the official Terra Luna website. The digital version, on the other hand, is currently being sold for $59.99 through Leder Games’ website and stores like Steam and GOG. Therefore, we can assume that there is significant profit potential for anyone who can find a way to sell copies of the physical game at a markup.
Does Terra Luna have any future applications?
The most important question that traders should be asking is whether or not there will be any future applications of Terra Luna in other media forms that could increase demand beyond its current levels. Leder Games has already indicated that there are plans to release a digital version of the game for mobile devices, however, there is no indication whether or not this will be released at any point in the near future. Furthermore, the future of Terra Luna may very well be in creating an entire franchise of collectible games or movie tie-ins that could potentially increase demand by introducing new collectors and investors to Leder Games’ lineup.
How long has it been since Terra Luna was released?
The production limitation on Terra Luna is a major issue because it means that it has essentially only been out for a few months. There will definitely be significant opportunity for demand to increase in the next few months as prices are likely to remain low until further copies become available through retail chains. In addition, we must consider when the game was actually released. Considering how long it has only been out, it has already had a long enough window of time to collect appreciable gains.
In conclusion, Leder Games’ collection of Terra Luna is a very rare and finite item that has only been out for a short period of time and will likely never see any real value increase. However, it is an asset that can still be traded in the physical marketplace for big profits if collectors continue to desire these collectibles despite their limited availability and high costs.
