Quality issues has forced Limited Run Games to again delay the release of the *Sonic x Shadow Generations* Collectors' Edition, according to an email sent to purchasers late Friday, *Tails' Channel News* has learned.

**Why it matters:** For a Collectors' Edition that was originally expected to ship months after the game's launch, the new spring timeline means some fans will receive the product well over [several years later](https://news.tailschannel.com/sxsg-physical-collectors-edition/).

> Limited Run Games has issued a brand new email, delaying the #SonicXShadowGenerations Collector's Edition Statue yet again - this time, to meet their quality standards. In my case, it went from January to March, a 2 extra month delay. #SonicNews

**What they're saying:** The company informed customers that the estimated shipping window for the Collectors' Edition statue has been revised from mid-January to late March 2026, extending the wait by approximately two months.

- "We know delays can be frustrating," the email read. "One of the items in \[the\] pre-order didn't meet the quality standards we aim for. We're sourcing a replacement and will ship your pre-order as soon as it's ready."

**The big picture:** This latest delay follows [criticism](https://news.tailschannel.com/limited-run-games-acknowledges-defects-in-delayed-sonic-x-shadow-generations-collectors-edition/) from fans who received damaged or off-model statues.

- Customers have the option to cancel their preorder or update their details before shipment, Limited Run said.
