I'm not sure where you are seeing "special edition". I don't think my sons kit was.

I think they call it "special edition" because of the characters that you get.

The box just says "new edition." It doesn't have a number listed. Obviously not the first edition, and it doesn't have the expansion, but it has some nice features like life-point bullets and organizer cards to keep everything tidy.

I don't know for certain, as I bought this and the expansion both in second edition. I imagine they improved a few things and made the pieces all usable in the same box (for when you have the original and the expansion). The expansion actually comes with pitri dishes for the diseases and a good molded compartment for each pieces of both sets.Honestly not sure what was different in first edition though. I read somewhere that the box was not as good, but I am sure there were other changes as well.

Personally I was going to get the limited edition for $40 on amazon, but there was a gold box deal for $35.99 so I bought this one instead. If you want to buy the limited edition you might as well buy the collector' edition because the limited edition you don't get much. But you are entitled to your own options. I hope this helped you! :)

I also already owned the game I am pretty sure it's just the expansion. To be honest collector edition of the game great, the expansion I would not purchase the collectors edition.

Not to my knowledge. This is the only one showing on Amazon. My guess is the "standard version" has something to do with the game itself (which I haven't played).

When you purchased the original set, you would have received a card with special code. It specifically states not lose the card. It is to help the Gorilla folks know what key you have in case you lose it. If you don't know the information, you will have to buy a new set, and make sure you don't lose the key code. Good luck.

I don't know. I don't have them. Maybe you can call the company selling the set.

I am trying to figure out why some people get a complet set an some don't. Are you all buying from Amazon that get the complete set or from a specific reseller?

Wait for Amazon to drop their price on the set. (they will) Be patient though, it just came out today. :)

My collection has different codes for each separate expansions. I bought mine 5 months ago from Amazon.

There are different versions released and available. The original version is much more collectable, and rarer.

I do not understand what you are asking. If you want to compare this set to others - - you would need to specify which other sets you want to compare and not just their prices.

I think you should be careful because it seems there's no such thing as a "deluxe edidion". I checked the webpage for Fantasy Flight Games and they make no mention of such a thing. Also the box art displayed here says nothing about it being a "deluxe" edition. Personally I'm passing on this one and getting the "regular" one.

If you pre-order the game, it becomes the Limited Edition. Otherwise, it's a standard edition. That said, I have found 'special editions' of games like this after the launch dates. Overstock from unbought pre-orders and such, but it can also be because of swag that is shipped with every version of a game sold in a particular method.

I don't know actually. I don't own the set, I bought it as a wedding gift for a cousin.
