I've just gotta say, what's the big deal about the limited editions? I'm
guessing there'll be no order limit on the non-numbered version, I'm also
guessing the answer to the question is often "profit on the secondary market".
If you weren't quick enough to get how ever many you wanted before the
restriction, then *tough*. That's how the market works.
Many entities (eg OPEC) strictly regulate supply for their own reasons, I think
TLC's reason in this case is way more "fair" than most.
Personally, I won't be contributing to any elevated secondary market for these
limited versions, as a buyer or a seller. But good luck to those who do.
