Very few made it to continental Europe or Australia. Of the rest, maybe 50% went into the US distribution chain and the remainder were sold directly by TLG prior to December 2008.So you have a combination of a product that is EGG's final magnum opus, the last rendition of Castle Greyhawk, and by all accounts well controlled through the design process by EGG, so fairly as he wanted to present it. Add to that the fact that it really is well written, EGG proving that he was still on the top of his game, a very limited print run, and that any future product will more than likely be 4E or LA (which will kill the traditional D&D feel or the product), and you have one instant collectable and much sought after item.
