Okay, I've hit a dead end so I'm asking Twitter for help.

Anyone out there working at GameStop in 2015? I'm trying to figure out if there was a preorder display box for Mega Man Legacy Collection. I have a vague memory of seeing one but can't substantiate. I'd like to get one!

It was my first physical game, so I went wild on collecting anything that promoted it. There's a lot.

Thanks to @bighatpaul I'm learning there was even more stuff I didn't know about, like this glass water bottle. My narcissistic display is gonna need another shelf! target.com/p/just-funky-m…

Yeah, this is the original key art created specifically for the U.S. release of the game, it was used on digital stores before they switched to the Japanese key art for the later physical release. It's not officially a MMLC tie-in but it uses MMLC art

There wasn't much physical promo from the original release, before they switched to the Japanese art, but they did hand out this poster at Comic-Con. I'll bet most of these got tossed when people got home, but I bought a poster tube and carefully brought it home to frame.

Anyway being a fan and archivist for your own work is cool, take pride in your stuff, put it all in a box and cherish it.

Okay, consensus seems to be that yes, GameStop marketing sent slips for this game to be put into empty cases, but it was pretty rare for anyone to bother taking them home after. Seems like my best chance is either finding one accidentally used for a sale, or hoping for a pack rat

Meanwhile I have learned to my wallet's horror that the expensive collector's edition with the amiibo has an even rarer French-Canadian variant.

Still haven't found that preorder slip, but I have been looking into anything else I missed. I decided that even if something uses the ART from the game, it doesn't count without the LOGO too. I made this decision entirely based on never wanting this tank top anywhere near me.
