Released world-wide and Limited to 5000 units across all consoles and all regions this edition will cost $400 and include a SteelBook, 12 exclusive lithographs featuring all of the vault hunters from the two games as well as a very cool remote-controlled claptrap.

The included claptrap uses an internal gyroscope to maintain balance, it's controlled by an app available for iPhone or Android, features a camera mounted in it's eye so you can see what it sees, and is able to spout several phrases, also controlled from the app. You can see it in action yourself below:

$400 for 5000 Units???

These companies are charging insane prices... The Splinter Cell Blacklist with the Remote Aircraft doesnt even cost that much...

Nvm... rant over.

Nor did any of the Black Ops collectors editions, and those came with more then just an RC and lithographs

a re-release of Borderlands 2 and Borderlands the Pre-Sequel for PS4 and Xbox One arriving March 24th this year.

Awesome! I just waited for that!

the CE: Claptrap is pretty cool, but 400 box? Must think about it^^

[twistedsymphony]

Anyone know who is taking pre-orders yet?

Gamestop.com in the US has the standard edition up, but no one else seems to have anything yet.

No shipping to US eh? :(

[comaamen86]

dont think it is good value maybe if the steel is exclusive to edition possibly but at the moment no

[Seesternmann]

dont think it is good value maybe if the steel is exclusive to edition possibly but at the moment no

Exactly my opinion. $400 ... that is just too much for a CE of HD remakes. I won't support companies with such insane prices.

But the steel is really nice though. Hopefully there will be one 'steelbook-only' edition.

[twistedsymphony]

I've yet to find a Canadian retailer that's willing to ship to the US... despite the fact that I'm close enough to the border that it's just a 3 hour drive to the nearest futureshop.

Looks like Amazon Canada is already sold out anyway.... I'd suspect they received a very small allotment.

[Alaniata]

Any news on WHO Will sell this in EU? Anywhere there ship to Denmark?

[Twisted]

if we support this..more developers will demand $400 upwards for a single game collectors edition.

[KnightOfTruth]

Yeah I agree - its a bit much indeed.

For those interested, Amazon has them listed but not available yet (don't think they sold out yet, as I've been watching them periodically)

PS4 (http://www.amazon.com/Borderlands-Handsome-Collection--Claptrap---Box-PlayStation/dp/B00SCNXDJW)

You should get two and raffle one away on here! :taunt:

[Resseh]

Won't be able to go to sleep tonight til I've preordered :(

[twistedsymphony]

You should get two and raffle one away on here! :taunt:

I'm having a hard enough time justifying the $400 to buy one for myself. :rotf:

[eternix]

Oh NO. The is no way i would get this. It should come with more for $400 dollars. I'm still waiting to see what all is in the Halo CE to decide if I really want that!

[0329liuken]

I just ordered the PS4 version, it shows as unavailable but you can click the "1 new" and order it

[KnightOfTruth]

I just ordered the PS4 version, it shows as unavailable but you can click the "1 new" and order it

Yeah, that's how I got my X1 version too.

[twistedsymphony]

Amazon orders are open now!

I just placed my order for the Xbox One version.

[b1rk]

I just ordered a few PS4 versions :)

How come there is a TAX applied when it is sold by Amazon.com and delviery address is in USA?

[0329liuken]

Amazon started charging for tax in many states last year

[b1rk]

Amazon started charging for tax in many states last year

Even for states inside the USA? I know of charging TAX for foreign countries, but inside USA? Never seen that before :(

[KnightOfTruth]

How come there is a TAX applied when it is sold by Amazon.com and delviery address is in USA?

Yeah, we gotta pay taxes on Amazon in most states now. Mine was tax-free til last year or the one before IIRC. Really stinks.

Also, amazed that there's no qty limit on these things. Going to sell out fast likely by resellers.

[DESOUL]

does anyone know if you can pay by installments? or do they just charge your card as soon as you preorder?

[KnightOfTruth]

does anyone know if you can pay by installments? or do they just charge your card as soon as you preorder?

Amazon? They only charge it when its shipped. Nothing gets charged now. You can sorta pay by installments if you purchase amazon gift cards and then apply them to your order prior to shipping.

[Googlie]

does anyone know if you can pay by installments? or do they just charge your card as soon as you preorder?

Amazon takes payment when it ships, in the US at least. I don't see why it would be different for Amazon internationally.

[singer07]

I've seen this only at Gamestop.com before so now also Amazon charges taxes. That's sad :banghead:

Btw US Amazon shows unavailable on both PS4 and X1 version, that was fast.

[Alaniata]

If amazon is selling Them all, how do i get one to Denmark?!

[MortalMonday]

is it sold out on gamestop.com already too?

[Resseh]

Surprised it went do quick

[MortalMonday]

I'm seeing it on Gamestop.com now, but when I go to order it, the item in my cart appears as Halo 5 Guardians. Not sure what's going on...

[twistedsymphony]

is it sold out on gamestop.com already too?
amazon is sold out GS is not

[MortalMonday]

Gamestop.com is acting really funky for me right now. Maybe the site is getting hammered? Both SKUs are showing up as unavailable for me on gamestop now; but sometimes on a refresh, they'll show up as available, but when I try to add to cart, it won't allow it. Oh well. Guess I'll keep trying.

[M4NTRON]

Both amazon.com and gamestop.com are still both showing unavailable but I just got back from gamestop and they are still (not sure if its actually sold out) letting you order in-store. I didn't feel like paying for shipping so I just went with their value shipping so it wont arrive until the beginning of April. Not ideal but at least I was still able to order it :)

You mean you did a "store-to-web" order? You had to pay the whole thing off, right?

[M4NTRON]

Yeah had to pay the full amount. That was the only real downside of doing this way.

[giantqtipz]

i was thinking of buying, but.... i prefer destiny over borderlands now, so im passing on this. if i buy it, it will just be sitting in my room collecting dust. i wont be playing the game...

also, $400 can get you high quality action figures and statues.

as you can tell, im still trying to fight the temptation to buy this thing lol

[Texas Fire]

*sigh*
I just preordered it..As you can tell, I'm not in the slightest bit happy about it though. $400 is ridiculous to damn near pay for anything nowadays, let alone a CE. The only reason I bought this, was because I'm a Borderlands fan.
Just ticked about the price. Too me, it's at least $200 OVER priced. Oh well...

Oh yeah, GameStop has them for preorder for any US guys somewhat looking...

TF

[giantqtipz]

i cant make up my damn mind...

i just realized. its a remote controlled claptrap, with camera, and mobile app support.

damn..

[whtsnk58]

GameStop has them available for preorder now, however, it is through their Web In Store or Online only, so it means you've got to pay for it in full up front if you do it in stores.

[0329liuken]

To me it is total worth $400. The claptrap from the video on the original post looks awesome, and there's a steelbook :drool::drool::drool: The lithos look nice too.

[Dr_Jengo]

The price is crazy but who wouldn't want a real walking, talking Claptrap?!

I'm just a little afraid about believing the Limited to 5000 units. Borderlands 2's Loot Chest Edition was also limited until they made thousands more..

[CheapAssassin]

Yeah I hope they don't go and make the Claptrap available for retail after this.

[0329liuken]

I will if you can tell me where I can order one

[CheapAssassin]

I will if you can tell me where I can order one

I was gonna say GameStop... but seems like it goes out of stock again.

Amazon too...

[Texas Fire]

GameStop has them available for preorder now, however, it is through their Web In Store or Online only, so it means you've got to pay for it in full up front if you do it in stores.

Yeah that was a sh*tty deal (Well at least for me it was)...
That web in store preorder stuff made my decision for Final Fantasy...:(

TF

[KnightOfTruth]

Guaranteed there'll be more available near launch -- all those 0-commitment pre-orders through Amazon will either have to be sold on eBay or people will cancel. I'm still trying to figure out what I can do for the Amazon credit for this myself, so at the very least there might be ONE that goes back up as we get closer... though I think it'd be pretty awesome to chase my son around with the CL4P-TP! :D

[Zoklar]

Yeah I hope they don't go and make the Claptrap available for retail after this.

I hope they do!!! That's all that interests me in this CE. No way I would pay $400+ for this. I would say maybe $250. I don't know, we'll see the quality of the Clap Trap. Hopefully it's not the same quality of the Splinter Cell plane. I'm saving my money for the Halo 5 CE and a new Halo 5 X1 (if announced).

[MortalMonday]

Maybe there's a chance that we'll see some inventory on the Gearbox store? Ryan?

[Chargersfan57]

Well I found out about this way too late... Oh well. $400 is a lot so I guess it's no big deal.

[Alaniata]

Too late? as i said in the other thread, that's bull! nowhere in Europe has even listed it yet...

[Chargersfan57]

EB games still has it available it seems but they don't ship outside of Canada.

[DESOUL]

EB games still has it available it seems but they don't ship outside of Canada.

I have a forwarding address, lets hope they accept that

This is available at GameStops stores (in the US) for in-store pre-order! Go, go, go. No need to do web-to-store either;it's a straight up in-store pre-order, despite the fact that it says "web only" on the GameStop website.

I had spoken to an employee and he stated that this was a miscommunication this morning, so I don't know which is true. He did say they had a few left though. I'm really debating whether this is even worth ordering because on one hand I want that Cl4ptr4p RC but on the other I told myself I would really limit my collecting to just 7th generation. :shrug:

[giantqtipz]

whats funny is that i had teh chance to order one from amazon/gamestop yesterday afternoon at work. they were still available at the time.

but then when i came home from work, i saw the video, and that claptrap is just a must have.

Yeah, I completely agree with you. The only thing stopping me is justifying the price and whether Gearbox will come out with a Cl4ptr4p RC just by itself. I know no one can tell me that Gearbox hasn't done that before. And if they can sell the RC just by itself, obviously for cheaper, then for me, that would be the best route to take.

I am also worried about this, I think I would lose it if it came out after I pay for this edition. :hammer: I wish they would post more information to justify the price point, even with the camera.

[giantqtipz]

the question is, why wouldnt they release a claptrap separately?

people will buy them...

[Mikle39]

when it will be possible to pre-order in EU?

[Resseh]

yeah! this is Gearbox we are talking about -wouldnt be surprised if the standalone one is better too

:banana:

[Alaniata]

This...i keep bumping for this...no one got a friend at 2K or Gearbox they can put some pressure on? As I said before, I think it's bullshit if the 5000 globals are in one pot and now all the US preorders are hogging them...

Wasn't just US, Canada got an allocation before the US ones were available ;)

[giantqtipz]

yeah! this is Gearbox we are talking about -wouldnt be surprised if the standalone one is better too

:banana:

ha! but there is still a chance that a standalone wont happen.

either way, we're both in a losing situation.

we dont have this preordered! and the standalone is just a big "what if".

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

well... the loot chest was sold out for months i believe. but more showed up online as we got closer to the BL2 release.

and HI KNIGHTOFTRUTH. i just noticed the sig is actually your own sig LOL

EB Games just sent off an email for their level 4 members saying it will be $499 AUD, and to preorder it you must have the Handsome Edition on order, then fill in an online form to enter a ballot for the 175 on each console they will have. The price puts me off completely but if anyone not level 4 is interested I can enter on their behalf.

Godammit I hate the limited edition ones. Half the people buying always seems to be scalpers. :(

how the hell are you lvl 4? I got the membership, and buy alot from them...but I got to spend 50.000kr (around 7800 USD) to "level up"...and this is within 1 year!

[Viridius]

@alaniata are you a member of eb games in aus?

It's about 9500 ish "carrots"for level 4, but you get bonus points for things like trade in, pre order etc. Still takes a while to build up though.

[King Peter]

It seems Eb Games Canada are only putting a small amount per day of their Borderlands Claptrap edition per system because it's still available for preorder (they did the same thing yesterday)

[giantqtipz]

so after work, i went stood outside my local gamestop, contemplating if i should preorder or not. if i do preorder, id have to pay $400 upfront.

which is quite tough right now lol..

i ended up going home... and bought myself an avocado to add to my sandwich for lunch today.

so at least there was an upside to all that...

i ended up going home... and bought myself an avocado to add to my sandwich for lunch today.

so at least there was an upside to all that...

Ha! Definitely can't go wrong with some avocado...

It seems Eb Games Canada are only putting a small amount per day of their Borderlands Claptrap edition per system because it's still available for preorder (they did the same thing yesterday)

https://www.ebgames.ca/SearchResult/QuickSearch?q=Borderlands%3A+The+Handsome+Collecti on+Claptrap-in-a-Box+Edition

Can you help with purchase?

[Alaniata]

Why the Euro-hate?!

[twistedsymphony]

Godammit I hate the limited edition ones. Half the people buying always seems to be scalpers. :(

I much prefer the truly limited releases, the rarity makes them that much more special IMO and for the most part they seem to be the only releases that actually hold their value.

I do agree that there's an awful lot of scalpers though, I wish retailers would limit to 1 or 2 per buyer. it would hurt people exporting for friends but on a whole I think it would help ensure that most of the people buying are people who are actually going to keep and enjoy the thing instead of just making a buck on eBay.

[I_BE_WILL]

how the hell are you lvl 4? I got the membership, and buy alot from them...but I got to spend 50.000kr (around 7800 USD) to "level up"...and this is within 1 year!

I buy my gift cards at 10% from my work, buy iTunes cards for gifts through EB, help people who are after specific sold out Pop Vinyls, bought an Xbone when they had a double points day, buy a few of their exclusives, plus years ago they had a 50 extra trade deal that had an error that let me stack it with a birthday bonus that got me $300 + in trades at double points.

Back on topic, i wonder how many will be ordered, returned instore and sit there til they hit the bargin bin, or split like the AC or Dragon Age Inquisition collectors.

still no word on an EU release...I call rascism!

Not mentioned anywhere in Australia either.

If we do get it, no doubt it'll be an EB exclusive.

It was an email lotto for people who
1) bought an Xbox One or Ps4 from EB
2) Are Level 4
3) bought a Borderlands game from EB

You had to order a copy of the Handsome edition, then fill in a form to enter the lotto. It was limited to 175 per console.

That would be illegal in Denmark. A contest can't legally require you to purchase anything, as you would to reach level 4...and to buy a borderlands game.

Well it was first announced to those who met the criteria to potentially have the chance to order it, but i believe it was still open to all who made a preorder and filled out the form.

So when I called them the other day and asked if they had it, he could've been withholding it because I haven't raffled for it? I really hope that isn't the case...

Their response
With how incredibly limited the edition was and the number of customers who would have been interested in purchasing it, many people would have been disappointed no matter the avenue we chose to distribute them. I'm sorry you missed out this time.

If you called an Australian store, yes, because it's still open to anyone who preorders and follows the procedure to gain entry. Eb has a history of doing this kind of bad allocations. Ghost editions of Destiny went to Level 4s first, and only were available if no level 4 members on that console had an order ie. If 200 people levels 1-3 ordered before you, and you were the first level 4 to order, YOU were allocated the Ghost Edition, even if you did it the day before it was announced, and they had ordered weeks or months prior. They never even made it onto the website for preorder because they were instantly sold out through in store orders (this is 2am half asleep brainpower so I may be incorrect)

Ahh, that explains things. EB pulled a a similar stunt with GTA V a couple of years ago. Thankfully I managed to score one from JB & Amazon UK. ;)

I fitted most of the above criteria, except I'm only level 3. <_<

I suppose this is a way to weed out the scalpers & only make the game available to 'true' collectors.

I still think it's a bit shit really, should be first in, first served. If you can't be f**ked to get off your arse & preorder before everyone else, it's your loss.

[Alaniata]

I have just gotten an official answer from GameStop Denmark... They will NOT be getting it! I guess i have to hope for German Amazon and then import -.-

EB games/Game stop must do things differently for different countries then. I know the Canadian division of EB didn't do a lotto like this, because then *all* the level 4's would have won (since there are only approximately 70 level 4's in all of Canada)
I was able to pre-order my Collector's edition in store while I was working but I must have bought our regions' allotment, since we are now sold out Canada wide (unless we get more allocated.)
I'm personally waiting to see if this is going to be a Dragon Age scenario where the idea is sound but the implementation is flawed - not to mention the packaging (just glad my inquisitor's edition arrived completely intact). Watching the demo video of the Clap trap in action was fine, but it bugged me that his arms were stuck in that same position. Just looked cheaply made to me. The other aspect I'm not sold on is the use of an App on your tablet needed to control it. if it's not compatible with my phone, I'm screwed too!

[comaamen86]

Does the claptrap come withe batteries

I demand answers its a deal breaker

[comaamen86]

Things you could buy with 400

2 good hookers
4 bad ones
20 two world's 2 ce
Controlling stake in Nintendo
400 Fifa steelbooks

Food for thoughts

The arms not moving did kind of bug me too, but it looked as if you could position them however you liked (there were in different positions at different points in the video), which is better then them being stuck in some awkward position.

As for the app... it says it will be on iOS and Android devices, I would suspect that as long as you have an Apple or name brand Android phone or tablet made in the last two years you should be fine.

[rapister]

this would be fantastic for big claptrap fans i guess.... probably a dream come true for some

definitely not for someone like me who hasn't played borderlands yet....

at least it means that they are getting 'creative' with CEs....

[Matrix6]

yup, I miss out. I hope they release the claptrap robot solo sometime in the fulure.

I actually thought it was bigger than what I had pictured. It's about the size of his head. In the previous video, it appeared to be about half that size.

IT CAN'T BE PRE-ORDERED ALONE !! You must buy a normal copy of the Handsome collection as well. Together both will cost 400€.

I currently have one pre-order for PS4. But I don't want it, it's too expensive in my opinion. But since many of you haven't had the chance I pre-ordered one and maybe I can help out someone. :thumb:

[b1rk]

Isn't it 459.90€ together for Claptrap in a Box edition and the Handsome collection game?

I can see that 399.95€ is just for Claptrap in a Box edition which can't be ordered alone if I understand it correctly.

///EDIT: Nevermind, I just noticed the note about the purchase that the price will be reduced to 399€ at the end of the purchase process :)

Yes, Amazon.de can ship to Denmark :)

And you can choose between the German USK version and the Austrian AT PEGI version for the game. AT PEGI versions always had english text as an alternative language as long as I remember.

Correct me if I'm wrong ^^

[huntrodz]

Thanks for the links guys. Would love this edition but it costs far too much for me to be able to consider it at this moment in time..... hopefully in 2 or 3 months I will be back collecting. No one is stopping me keeping my witcher 3 pc pre order though!

[Lazarusxx]

Ok, I've had to think about this a lot and I've decided to cancel my pre-order on this. I would like to keep the steelbook though. If any one would like this special edition minus the steelbook (I can keep the game if you are in a country that won't play the disk - it's the Xbox One North American version), please contact me and lets arrange something.

Thanks!

[Letrico]

I managed to preorder it alone? I tried putting the game plus claptrap in one order and it cost more than 400 euro lol

EDIT:
Ah couldn't see it properly on mobile. Can see now on desktop. I added claptrap + game and the price didnt go down. 460 euros. lol

EDIT2:
Found the problem. It won't apply the claptrap coupon if I ship to Australia. Sending to UK seems fine :(

[Nachtfalke]

PreOrdered it. Just want the Steelbook and the game. If someone just need the claptrap and the 12 cards, you can contact me.

[CollectorFanatic]

You guys are spending $400+ for a steelbook and the game?!

[King Peter]

That's what a collector is all about, collecting at whatever price :P

Hello all! Just signed up to these forums as I guess some of you in the UK are as frustrated as I have been by the lack of info on a UK release of the Claptrap-in-a-box edition. I've been looking EVERY DAY for info!

Well, today I found some, here:
http://geeksdontlie.co.uk/borderlands-handsome-collection-claptrap-box-edition-exclusive-game-co-uk/

I literally just ordered mine moments ago, came straight here and in the time it has taken me to write this it looks like it is sold out already :(

Sorry everyone, I was trying to be helpful but it looks like if you haven't got it, it's gone already.

It's painful. I also just realised I missed out on the Batman Batmobile edition from Game too. Ah, the PAIN of being a collector...

Welcome to the forum mate :thumb:

This had already sold out at Game yesterday when I last checked. It must have come back up to order so you were lucky.

I've got two orders for this now (Amazon Germany and Game) so if anyone needs a pre order before I cancel the extra one let me know?

[sonicpro]

Pff i live in belgium and i really wanna get my hands on one!!! Anyone can help me???

[b1rk]

Guys could you please advise?

I managed to order a few pieces at game.co.uk. Although a few days back I read that it was sold almost immediately, I managed to place a few orders recently and I have them all confirmed (by e-mail).

The question is - will I have them really fulfilled or was it a hole in matrix?

I'm asking because I have my requested quantity ordered and confirmed already at Amazon.com with expected delivery date. However, for me as a EU citizen it would be much easier and probably cheaper to get them from EU, even from UK.

In case that GAME could fulfill my orders I could cancel the Amazon orders or, if anyone from USA is interested, I could release my orders to them.

In a worse case when I cancel my Amazon orders and then GAME will tell me that they can't fulfill my orders for whatever reason (either items are not available or item doesn't ship outside the UK), I will have nothing which I don't want to happen.

My Amazon orders could be shipped every day now (expected delivery was Feb 19 - March 07) so I have to make a quick decision.

I'm in a loss :help:

[NinjaCool]

Game UK does not ship orders outside of the UK over 1000g which I found out when I had AC4 CE on preorder there.
It still says it here (http://www.game.co.uk/en/info/DeliveryFAQ?storeId=10151&identifier=DeliveryFAQ&brdcrmb_trail=Help|Delivery|Delivery-Options&langId=44&catalogId=10201) under the "International Delivery Times & Costs" section.

[b1rk]

Well, I know of weight limitations outside the UK but my recent order delivered contained 1x standard PS3 game, 1x Halo: Master Chief Collection Limited Edition and 1x Watch Dogs Vigilante Edition. It was delivered in one package, unusual big for GAME and I assume that weight was over 1kg (not sure though).

Anyway, I still could ask for help someone from UK, but the question is whether or not they will have enough stock to cover my orders.

Yeah had sold out orders canceled by game before shipping. I think they weigh them when packing?

I've had orders where they just pulled out the last thing I ordered because it tipped the parcel over 1kg, and sent the rest. Very unprofessional.

Good thing I found out now, I hope I can get a workaround going in due time.

[Vlad]

For what it's worth, I'm actually *in* the UK and they still sometimes cancel orders at the last minute for no reason, normally with a nonsense excuse, and usually by the time it's out of stock in other places and only the scalping scum on eBay seem to have it.

It's probably the main reason I've stopped preordering from them tbh.
I know some folk say they always sucked but they were always fantastic with me until a year or two ago, probably about the time they almost went bust actually thinking of it, but since then I don't trust them with any preorders and so I only order if it's unavoidable, such as they have something exclusive.
Now almost all my preorders are from Amazon. (Only other main exception I can think of are UbiShop for AC, but again, it's exclusivity that forces you into that.)

[Matrix6]

haha, that happened to me recently. Ordered a handful of stuff. Order was shipped. Got a notification for a refund. "I wondered, what's the refund for??"
I actually had to do my own investigating because the refund email didn't state what item it was for (even though I had a hunch on what it could have been), so I actually went onto a 'live chat' with Game.

They'd told me what it was for, which tipped the scale over 1kg.

But the thing is, when they send you a shipping notification, they state every single item you order. Obviously, the omitted/refunded item wasn't shipped with the rest of the package.

This hasn't actually changed from many years ago. Whenever I pre-order an CE over 1kg, they would cancel it on the day of release and never send you an email regarding it. You would have to check your account instead, and then ask why it was cancelled?! I personally found this a little unprofessional of them. :surrender:

[Texas Fire]

Ah, the PAIN of being a collector...

Yeah, being a collector is rough. I've missed out on so many worthy collections, it's virtually impossible for me to stomach some of the losses. Ha, I've also collected some crappy CEs as well. Money well WASTE', uhh I mean...Spent?!

Hi guys,

My Handsome Jack Clap Trap in a box Edition arrived today and I opened it to take a look at the quality.

I have to say that I am disappointed overall. There is not much substance to the Clap-trap unit. It looks to be made out of a thin plastic material which is painted to a decent degree, but still lacks the punch needed to get excited about it. At first glance, it looked to be made out of a hard and thin cardboard rather than plastic but tapping on the outside made me lean more towards the plastic material.
The arms and antenna need to be attached to the unit. The arms do not seem to be bendable in the final product, but maybe it's because I haven't assembled mine (still in the original plastic).
The Clap Trap is hollow, other than whatever motors are needed to run the thing, and I'm not sure how to gain access tot he camera to add batteries (then again, I haven't fully explored the unit because I'm leaving it in the original plastic.)
I'm including 2 pictures here for reference. The first is of the bottom of the box that the clap trap is in. It shows what comes in the box and although I couldn't get the english in there, I can translate to the best of my ability from the German that is visible:

1 Antenna
2 Arms
1 Unit
1 Base (stand)
1 USB cable
Operating instructions
Smartphone not included

On the right you can see the specs, battery life and other info for the unit.

The second picture is the unit in the box, as it appears when you open it.

Of course, the Lithos are included as well - I have not cracked them yet as they come in a sealed envelope and are mini poster size.

The steelbook. This is what you are buying this edition for. It's got a great paint job. It's embossed and it's double sided (melty looking Psycho mask on one side, melty looking Handsome Jack mask on the other). I don't know what art is inside as it comes sealed in plastic shrink wrap and I haven't opened it.

I'm not sure if I'm going to keep this edition, as it's not my sort of thing - personally just interested in the steel book.

Hope this info helped some of you make a decision as to whether or not you want it!

Thanks for the information, can't wait to get mine! I bought this edition primarily for the Steelbook as well. Wanted to play the games but it looks like I need to purchase another copy of the game as the Steelbook is sealed... Btw is the game inside the steelbook or in it's own case?

Game should be completely separate. That is why amazon.de require you to pick up the game + claptrap combo

I didn't open the steel book so I don't know for sure. If other sites are listing it as a separate buy then I am inclined to agree that the steel book is separate. However, unlike other editions that were this big (DA: Inquisitor's Edition, Wolfenstein CE) this one has the branding for the particular edition on the outside of the box (Xbox One, PS4), leading me to believe that the game is in the steel book. At EB games, there is no notice stating that the game is a separate inclusion to the CE. Perhaps some websites list the game as separate on order as a mistake and those who ordered say from Amazon, will get two copies of the game.

[utta]

It's not entirely their call on the materiel used. They have certain weight/dimensions they have to meet in order for the gyroscopic motor and servo's to actually function properly. If it was a metal husk on claptrap, they'd have to get heavier duty(and far more expensive) motors as well as servo's.

Think of it like those little remote controlled helicopters. There are cheap ones that are $20 sure, they're all plastic and rather bad. Then there are ones that are in excess of $200, and it's because they have metal frames, metal husks, more powerful motors to handle the weigh, higher power servo's which require more room, etc.

I agree that $400 is an asinine amount of money. And I agree that you should get more for that huge amount of money. All things considered though, I still wish I could get one. :P

[xhunter]

So the Claptrap is of mediocre quality? Called that right at announcement, lol.

[King Peter]

No wonder I can still order them on eb games canada right now

Poor claptrap :P

[Raven]

As soon as I saw the difference of handsome collection for £44.99 and claptrap edition for £289.99 (difference of £245/$366 USD), I held back with doubts whether I should in the end go for it =/

Glad I didn't go for now

In addition to gearbox's record with DN forever and Alien colonial marines. Was it just me that thought BL2 has stupid amounts of DLC?

[KnightOfTruth]

Anyone want an X1 version of the Claptrap Edition from the US? I was going to keep mine all the way up until an hour ago when I realized I could purchase so many more things I'd really want than this. The steelbook and claptrap are great and I feel the edition is worth the $, but I can just do more with it than this edition I think.

I'll be cancelling my order in a few hours if I can, but just wanted to give the heads up here in case someone else wanted a guaranteed copy. :thumb:

EDIT: Okay, cancelled mine. If you want it, guess you can hunt Amazon as it'll go back up I'm sure. :D

[Lazarusxx]

I can confirm that the game is inside the Steelbook of this edition.

That's weird, because it shows it seperate in the unboxing video

[Lazarusxx]

Are you talking about the IGN unboxing? The Claptrap edition is PS4 and they never actually open the steelbook. On the table beside the box is the Xbox One version of the game as it would be if you purchased it separately.

I opened the steelbook myself and visually confirmed the game is in the steelbook.

Its possible the people working for sites like amazon are misinformed and some people are going to get an extra copy of the game due to their mistake.

[I_BE_WILL]

The link posted in this thread, they took out a standard copy of the game, and they opened the steelbook. If their copy was in the steelbook then it was a great touch that they have added in an empty game case to put the game in so the steelbook runs less risk of being damaged.

Sadly, they didn't include an extra copy of the plastic case. All they did was shrink wrap the steelbook, which makes it even more painful that you have to open it if you want the game... or pay for a second copy!

So then the extra case they metioned and handled in the video was just there to represent the copy of the game only, and not actually included? That's lame if thats the situation.

[rapister]

its back in stock on amazon

[b1rk]

Not being sold by Amazon though and obviously for higher price.

Strange, several people had cancelled their order there (incl. me who left there total of 5 editions) and they haven't showed back for sell by Amazon for original RRP.

At the end I found the way how to obtain them from GAME which is much easier for me and cheaper as well at the end.

[MortalMonday]

I received one of these today and I have to say I'm highly disppointed with the engineering behind the pegs on the arms, and the joints where the arms slide in to the figure. They're so badly executed that they cause the arms to dangle quite loosely on the figure. You simply can't fasten the arms securely on the figure. The arms, as a consequence, become all but impossible to place in a fixed pose, and they ultimately always end up danglingly low, like limp weiners. On top of that, since they attach so loosely to the figure, the arms are likely to fall off easily. :(

This is truly inexcusable in a product costing $400.

Worse is that, even though the figure is made using plastic, overall, it's not bad at all.
It's just these damn arms that kill it for me.

Limp weiners heh. How does it limp? Right side of a circle or left side of a circle?

[Lemur]

And to add insult to injury, I'm sorry to say that it is NOT a steelbook :lmao:

Seriously? It's a metal pak? The spine does make it look like a steelbook from the unboxing video.

[MortalMonday]

Also interesting to note that some copies of this edition of the game were shipped sealed, while other copies were shipped without a factory seal. I personally noted a bunch of Xbox One copies without a seal.

[Lemur]

It's an ironpack not metalpak. Ironpacks have spines so at a glance it looks like a steelbook. :blackeye:

I'm contemplating of returning mine even if I lose $9 for shipping cost :'(

Is this not worth its cost/value??
AUS$500 vs Quality (lack there of)....

Noooooooooooooo how could they do that??? At that price it should be no compromise.... No ironpacks and NO LIMP ARMS!!

It is a steelbook. It has a regular spin like Steelbook.

Plus it does not have a steelbook logo on inner side of the box if I'm not mistaken.

What a pain how cheap they made the edition worth $400 :hammer:

[twistedsymphony]

I received my Xbox One copy from Amazon.com last night.

I can confirm that the outer box isn't sealed at all... there is a clear circular sticker that looks like it was supposed to seal the lid closed but instead it was just folded over the edge of the box allowing you to open it without breaking anything. I'll need to reinspect the "SteelBook" to determine if it's genuine or not but it is indeed sealed and it feels heavy enough and sounds like it likely contains the game and some additional paper work... I haven't broken the seal to confirm, nor have I dug any deeper into the box than that.

The box I received and the way the packing looks is slightly different than what was shown in the various unboxing videos.

Does anyone know if it comes with a numbered certificate? and if so where is it located in the box?

[Raven]

Understandable.... :taunt:

I admit I was the same

I am now even more glad that I didn't order =/

[Letrico]

Mine seems unsealed, iron pak was not sealed as well but I have the game separate on its own. Will open the rest tonight when I get back

[Texas Fire]

Have these shipped already?

[g6t9ed]

I received mine yesterday. I have to say it does feel a little underwhelming with the $400 price tag but I could only justify it with the idea that they will not release the Cl4p-tp RC outside of this edition. This is also my first XbOne CE purchased so we'll see if it sets a precedence with Gearbox Software.

[Texas Fire]

How many of these were released again? 5000 piece count right?
