No they didn't and don't. They're just artificially inflating shit and causing the fucking terrible scalper market. I'd venture to bet at least 1/3 if not more of the Wonder Boy copies sold went to scalpels not people who actually want the game. Just open preorders for a day or two and print however many are preordered, this shit isn't hard.
Take Fangamer's Undertale release as an example. They tried the LRG thing at first and shit sold out too fast. So they've reopened for more orders on a second printing

You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
