As title states I'm just curious what the community thinks of limited seed releases? I see both positives and negatives.

Well less supply usually = more demand and this applies to the beans as well as the final product which some growers like.
Really genetics are only as limited as you the buyer/grower make them, that is what sharing is for!
If we all share more then we will all have more.
ALL seed packs at fritillary seed collective are limited release,,, in the sense that lines are sourced from small underground breeder's,, and their personal hybrid or inbred seed stocks.
After growing and out-testing,, the seeds are reasonably priced and made available to everyone for a limited time period - while packs last. There's no harm in that,, especially when we donate more seeds than we sell.
Conversely,, as an underground seed collective,, any seeds that FRT have bulk / lots of ,, then we are far more inclined to send them out raggo as freebies... than sell them on the open market.
We agree with reservation lab Limited edition seeds are normally given more attention by growers,, cloned out or made F2,, afterwhich the "limited" aspect tends to grow out the window,, as loads of growers get a chance at playing with the same genetics.
Sour Diesel IBL and C99 IBL are great examples,, we have both packs someplace,, and never paid a penny for them
One last thing,,, limited edition doesn't always have to mean a high price,, that's BS
,,,FRT often let packs go for as little as $15-20 ,, regardless of how dank the genetics in the pack are (just click the butterfly link below for more info.)
Hope this helps
