American video game distributor Limited Run Games says it is investigating reports of defects affecting the Collectors' Edition of *Sonic x Shadow Generations* after fans began sharing photos and complaints online.

**Why it matters:** The acknowledgement follows the start of shipments for the [long delayed](https://twitter.com/SushiHushiYT/status/1945187214142423327?ref=news.tailschannel.com) Collectors' Edition, which was sold at a [premium price of $250 USD](https://twitter.com/TailsChannel/status/1825566185733411049?ref=news.tailschannel.com) and arrived [more than a year](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:g5jqo6skql2awyk7krh36wxf/post/3m5z5fuyo4u2p?ref=news.tailschannel.com) after the game's launch.

- Much of the criticism was focused on the [Shadow the Hedgehog statue.](https://x.com/JLDrawz/status/2001773474008711672?ref=news.tailschannel.com) Fans say it appears [off model](https://twitter.com/JLDrawz/status/2001843627908059219?ref=news.tailschannel.com) compared with preorder promotional renders.

- "We are awaiting a large shipment of further Collector's Editions, due to arrive on Monday the 29th of December, which will allow us to ascertain the severity of the problem and, in turn, chart a path forward," they said.

**The bottom line:** What was meant to be a celebratory release has instead drawn scrutiny over quality control and transparency, with Limited Run now under pressure, [once again](https://www.timeextension.com/features/interview-werve-certainly-made-mistakes-limited-runs-boss-on-winning-back-the-trust-of-the-community?ref=news.tailschannel.com), to make things right.
