OOo I've been waiting weeks (since Ryan said he was sending you one) for this review -- but its not text so now I've got to wait until I plug my speakers in... NOOOOOoooooooo!!!! Well, I suppose it's not THAT bad ;)

Thanks for doing the review and for the forum contest! :thumb:

That looks BEE-A-U-tiful! Love the emboss/high detailing. Love how TreeHouse actually packages collectors items with (believe it or not) collectors in mind as well. Respect to them for that. We are all collector's on here. . . ever feel a twang of guilt when opening UP a CE to show the contents knowing it can never be sealed again? Maybe that's just me. hehe Thanks for the unboxing and for showing everything in detail.

looks great, but im getting the CE of eso. However if this was a fallout universe book. i'd be on that.

After watching the 9-minute unboxing vid with no sound all I can say is DEFINITELY PURCHASING if I don't win it. I'm really excited that the COA # is hand-written (did you do that one too Ryan?) and the fact they put my favorite litho art (thus far) in there as a bonus is a REALLY nice touch! :1:

Its beautiful but the international shipping costs are so off-putting. 50% of the item price itself is just not justifiable.

Thanks for the video TS, and to Ryan for getting you an advanced copy for review! I hope they are all packaged as well as you described. I also agree that it's too bad you can't see your number from the outside, but the COA is presented really really well.

yeah I didn't have time to do my normal fully text and pictorial review but I wanted to get something out there.

... ever feel a twang of guilt when opening UP a CE to show the contents knowing it can never be sealed again?

...Every time I open one... but I do thoroughly enjoy looking through all the included stuff.

Very nice! ^^ Might just have to pick one up. Will compliment the CE nicely. :D Will see if I win this one first before I bite the bullet on purchasing one! :P Should have the cash to spare seeing as there is a major lack of releases between now and then! XD

As others have said though, international shipping prices are a major put off. :(

The edition would fit into a posh mahogany library, if only I had one! Can't wait till the deadline *crossing my fingers*

Wow! That is gorgeous! I just started collecting a few months ago. This would be a very sweet entry to my collection. I missed the Imperial Edition pre-order, but this would make up. Thanks for the video! :-D

It does look nice. I can almost smell that faux leather but is it worth $US100.00?

It's just an awesome piece of Elder Scrolls Merch. would fit great beside my Imperial Edition.

Would buy it but at the moment the international shipping costs are killing it for me.

Glad to know there's a CE website, just joined guys! This edition looks like it has some soft textures juxtaposed to some heavy looking drawings. What i like about this large book is that it looks like (and i'm sure feels like) something that you would actually find in a dark cavern of Tamriel, the hideout of a band of thieves that recently took over a clan of imperials and are rummaging through their weapons catalog. I would have this on a book stand with a page opened to one of the gnarly looking beasts, maybe a spot light over it. lol. Good job with the review guys! Makes me want to buy one, gotta save up for it!

Great review on Youtube, it was clear, crisp and the resolution was excellent. You also covered many things about the item down the packaging/delivery which was greatly appreciated.

Great attention to detail.

I would also like to be entered into the competition for this as it looks like an awesome item for an Elder Scrolls fan like myself!

Thanks

Kind of glad I didn't buy this now as Zenimax has hammered the nail in the coffin in regards to my wanting anything to do with that game anymore. Banning thousands of us with a shonky piece of broken software for no reason and none given and no human element to check that these bannings are justified is completely unacceptable. No notification we got banned, no way to get back in game and no interaction with a CS which ignores you when you demand redress. They are running a scam and I'm not staying to be filched off of by them. I suggest you tread with exteme caution when dealing with Zenimax and when you are walking around that world because if you fall thru one of their holes in their broken maps believe it or not you could also get banned by them. Some of us are still waiting to get access to what we payed for after a week. It's a shame as I bought every CE that they had out since Fallout 3 (I don't care if it's Bethesda or Zenimax ec, etc, it's the same bunch of shysters spread out over too much of the world's gaming real estate). Just be aware this is happening folks and play safely in that game. It is a long bitter road to redress if that broken software they have in their game decides that the way you happened to jump three times in a row amounted to a bannable offence. peace...
