A lot of people had 0 opportunity. It's one thing for a limited edition to be a day 1 purchase or something, but it's another if the item sells out in a matter of minutes.
Plus, Nintendo has a proven track record. The 2 zelda items aside, how does Nintendo explain Amiibos and the Gamecube adapter? Those are hardly limited edition collector's items.
