It’s one of those games that didn’t quite find mass appeal at the time of its release, but many fans of the series now want to collect and appreciate its interesting aspects. The Misadventures of Tron Bonne game was the biggest percentage riser over the in the three year span of our previous guide and has continued to grow strongly in value, despite being released digitally on PSN in 2015. Many of the game mechanics revolve around her use of her fighting mecha, Gustaff and her Servbots. This prequel to the Mega Man Legends games (see below) but is a multi-genre title (three different sections made up of moving-box puzzles, Descent-like adventure RPG, and Mega Man Legends-style action) featuring the anti-hero, Tron Bonne.

This was likely due to the uncertainty of how many copies were in circulation. Back in 2017, there were sealed copies selling for $1000 to $2400. The values of this variant have actually cooled down in the last few years. It was never printed in a single jeweled case. The recalled “9/11 American Flag Cover” version was only printed in a dual case.

The initial shipments of the game were already shipped out to retailers in advance of the release, but were recalled quickly to swap out the artwork, causing a delayed launch for November. Syphon Filter 3, in particular was scheduled to be released on Septemand originally featured cover art with a US Flag draped over government buildings exploding.

That same year, there was one listed on DigitalPress’s forums with an asking price of $6000, but didn’t seem to to sell at that price. Had it been an established seller, it may have gone for more. A 2009 auction saw got bids up to $1700, which was surprising since it was a new seller (that eventually backed out).
You can see a full photo set from an owner of the set, Game-Rave. The set includes a briefcase, gold GunCon, and memory card (there are both gold and red memory card variants). When all was said and done, only 40 of these sets were produced and given out.

Limited Edition Collectibles Elemental Gearbolt: Assassin’s Case: $1,700 – $3,300 Note that some of these games are not rare in the sense that there are not many available, but rare relative to demand, which makes the games expensive.
The list is ordered by the balance of the two prices. The second price is the highest price in the past three months for a complete, non-sealed game (sealed prices are also listed separately if recent example exists).
