The Mihril edition is up on Amazon UK.

Much cheaper than NA and EU. Ordered it for £176 shipped to the US :)

Looks nice too. Hope just down to gameplay. To me they fucked up with the last dlc but they may as well just tell us about the season pass that well have to buy later. Why don't they just cut some of the crap in these CEs and give us the full game.

I can hardly think of any AAA games without a season pass nowadays. Even Zelda is getting one.

I played Shadow of Mordor and I loved the game, never tried the DLC so I'm not sure if they were good or bad.

I'm willing to pay for season passes as long as they are under 25 and I'm really interested in the game.

There's irony for you, cost me £199 shipped to the UK :lol: Guess that's tax for you :(

Haha yeah expensive CEs always come down to a lower price with shipping from amazon EU than the price people in EU get.

I ordered one from GS before I ordered it from Amazon UK, and total with tax and shipping was $330, which is $110 more expensive than Amazon UK

[Matt16]

That's quite a chunk, one of the few positives about Amazon as not all retailers take the tax off.

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor Game of the Year $19 on Amazon to date one of the best PS4 games I have played. Nice find on AUK, $299 GameStop and god knows what EBGames will charge here in Australia.

True, every time I order from GAME UK I'm charged for VAT. I ordered a lot of stuff from Amazon.de, as they get most of the CEs and take off the tax.

For me it is 176 shipped to Canada, but you add a 25 import fee deposit, so it is 201 GBP...

Seems like the statue is 12 inches tall, not 15? Polygon says 15 but amazon description says 12...
and retail price is $300 not $350

[KnightOfTruth]

Wow, bummer that its a GS exclusive -- no 20% off from Amazon or BB there. Seems like ordering from overseas may be the best bet ATM. Long gone are the days of having loads of excess GS credit from trade-ins... ain't nobody got time for that now! :P

Thank you liuken! Just saved me some money!

Preordered also from Amazon UK, £188 with priority shipping.

Not sure if I'll keep it or not.

[MadMan5]

Preordered also from Amazon UK, £188 with priority shipping.

Not sure if I'll keep it or not.

If you got it from GS US it would take 2 days to get to Australia but you're looking at around $480 AUD.

I got it preordered too but very unlikely I will be keeping it. Seems... abit too huge.

[Toasty the Baker]

Gamestop US is sold out

[Dreamcazman]

Yeah nah, Amazon's priority shipping is pretty quick, around 4 days on average.

[DDT]

So no PC version again? That sucks

[Codreanu]

Pre-ordered the PC version from gamestop.de! I'm a big LOTR fan and really enjoyed the first game.

[MadMan5]

Yeah nah, Amazon's priority shipping is pretty quick, around 4 days on average.

$400 AUD from EBGames up now.

[Dreamcazman]

$400 AUD from EBGames up now.
Yeah, just noticed it.

$100 more than Amazon UK, yeah no thanks. :nea:

[MadMan5]

They also have pc version $380, Why? Are PC games cheaper I don't get it.

[MadMan5]

Anyone know what Limited Edition 12" Tar-Goroth Balrog vs. Carnan Drake Statue is made of?

[Dreamcazman]

PC is generally $20 cheaper across the board, has been for a long time.

[Letrico]

PC games are usually cheaper because PC games have no resell value. Consoles games can be traded-in / sell on ebay while cd keys are one off use.

[Vlad]

Anyone know what Limited Edition 12" Tar-Goroth Balrog vs. Carnan Drake Statue is made of?

The picture says bronze which would be awesome and definitely worth the price but chances are that could just mean bronze-effect like The Elder Scrolls Online was.

[Nachtfalke]

PC games are cheapier because there are no licensing fees to Microsoft or Sony. It's a free plattform.

[DDT]

Anyone else has doubts that the price is worth it?

[Letrico]

PC games are cheapier because there are no licensing fees to Microsoft or Sony. It's a free plattform.

:/ PC is not a free platform. It's a Microsoft platform too. You have to pay to develop with directx because it is Microsoft technologies.

That is why AMD is trying to break the monopoly by introducing Vulcan which is free.

I am sorry, but that is not true. You don't have to pay to develop with DirectX.
The Vulkan API is being developed mainly because of the DirectX flaws and to prevent MS monopoly by using only their OS. With Vulkan you can play the games on other OS too

You are right my mistake there. I remembered reading somewhere long ago when Vulcan was coming that I was to break directx monopoly for various reasons.

But still it is not really cheaper because it is a free platform though.

Hmmm...

[b1rk]

If anyone who ordered from Amazon UK would have reconsidered his order and wanted to cancel it, please let me know, I might be interested :)

[Keithjn]

Same as the last post if anyone is interested in cancelling their order I would be happy to buy. And curious what is the uk price as it only says currently unavailable

[vhal_x]

And curious what is the uk price as it only says currently unavailable

£200 x

[MadMan5]

166.66 readies if you live outside UK.

[b1rk]

166.66 readies if you live outside UK.

I would say only if you live outside the European zone.

Just a heads-up in case it's missed but that's £50 more than when it was first available.

It was £200 before it sold out and now they have more it's £250 for some reason. (I was sure £200 was the actual RRP before, unless I'm mistaken.)

Shouldn't Amazon garant the same price level on all pre-orders?

[Vlad]

Shouldn't Amazon garant the same price level on all pre-orders?

Yeah, sorry for the misunderstanding, I don't mean that existing preorders will rise in price, I just meant that such a substantial price increase was surprising and also in case anyone blindly ordered thinking it was still £200 then they might have a bit of a shock when they realise.

[b1rk]

To be honest I pre-ordered it yesterday at the current price (did not know about the lower initial price) as I was watching this to be available for pre-order again (I missed the first batch). I was happy I did catch one.

Now knowing of a lower initial price I am not so happy anymore and this is what my previous question related to - shouldn't Amazon apply on pre-orders the price guarantee? I swear I read somewhere at Amazon that they have price guarantee rule in case the item will rise on price during pre-orders until the release date.

was £199.99 in february.

not sure if i remember correctly but read somewhere that the guarantee rule means you'll be charged lower price if it changed after your purchase.

[b1rk]

Found it:

Pre-order Price Guarantee: order now and if the Amazon.co.uk price decreases between the time you place your order and the release date, you'll be charged the lowest price. Here's how (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/promotions/details/popup/A3J5QHKIIABXKU) (terms and conditions apply)

Which means only if the price decreases from the time my order was placed until the release date I will be guaranteed the lowest price if I understood correctly. So I have to rely on that the price will decrease again starting now till the release date :think:

[Vlad]

Yeah, basically if I order something at price X but between then and release the price goes to X+10 I'll still only pay X as that's what I ordered it at.

However, I preorder at price X and the price drops to X-10, I'll then pay X-10 when it releases.

I've managed to get some good prices before with that where they've dropped the price for maybe even only a couple of hours but I still get charged the lowest price it's been.

[Venger]

I bought at £166.66 for the Mithril Edition and that was in February. Maybe since I don't have to pay the tax? It was only £175.65 shipped - not that I am complaining.

Gamestop posted an unboxing on Facebook last night. Link. (https://www.facebook.com/GameStop/videos/1692166470803272/)

Seriously thinking of cancelling after seeing it to be honest.

It looks kind of cool but in person it might be a bit of an ugly overpoweringly large lump of painted bronze plastic for such a relatively big price.

Don't know how many statues have gone the painted bronze look and actually looked decent in person but from my experience it's not many.

[b1rk]

And again no steelbook but metalpak :(

[SBCollectorAl]

And again no steelbook but metalpak :(

Why again? Last time there was a steelbook published in germany.

[Spect3r]

Why again? Last time there was a steelbook published in germany.

Last time in Portugal was also a metalpack

[Gunmaster51]

Yeah, there was only a metalpak for Shadow of Mordor in North America too. I think Germany was the only region that got a steelbook. Maybe we'll get lucky and some region may release a steelbook for this as well.

[b1rk]

Why again? Last time there was a steelbook published in germany.

Because except Germany the other regions got metalpak. Many recent editions contain metalpak rather than steelbook which it is pretty annoying.

[Letrico]

Yeap. Australia got all metalpaks for previous release too.

DId you cancel? I received it this week and I pretty much can confirm your concern. The statue is cool but not on level of the awesome polystone variety like my Creed collection. It is sort of cheapish floppy vinyl/plastic painted with bronze finish. Cool for my son's room but not $300 worth of cool. The lithos are nice and the steelbook is awesome but the goofy oversize ring thing is also cheapish plastic with hollow flat backside and three small magnets glued into back so it can be chill fridge deco or something. All in all probably feel better if it were $200 or less.

I saw unboxing from a EU Youtuber who apparently got a special limited to 100 version which had bigger statue (18" vs. 12") and the thing actually had an LCD screen with preprogrammed Orc talking to him. Not sure if that is a pres promo/dev gift type of thing or if that statue is high quality.

Cheers - JC

OH - and the Box is WAY TOO BIG for what's inside. Box graphics are cool but inside is basically massive hunk of Styro.

[Gunmaster51]

Yeah, I had this on pre-order but decided to cancel at the last minute. Wasn't a fan of the statue. I would've still pulled the trigger if it had a real steelbook instead of a metalpak, but sadly that wasn't the case.

Amazon.ca had the gold metalpak edition on sale for $89, so I just stuck with that.

[Vlad]

DId you cancel?

Yeah, my gut instinct was screaming too loudly at me to ignore on this one.

On top of that I wasn't happy with all the lootbox crap and didn't feel comfortable supporting that in a single player game.

Sorry to hear that it isn't great though.

[xcodef]

Yeah, not happy with that one either.... the quality looks meh at its best (probably not as bad as the Resident evil 7 one but still meh). Oh well, better learn now and move on... The main problem is that most of these collector editions ran out pretty fast and then there is not much time to cancel preorders... that being said, I guess it is a good idea to keep an eye on the reviews in order to get a chance of cancel it on time? haha

I am sort of new to the forum, so I am not sure if it is in place already, but would be nice to post here links to the reviews as soon as you find one?

[Vlad]

I think most of the time people generally do but for an actual review of the editions the problem can be that often you'll only find them from people after the game's come out.

If we're lucky we might get some kind of early unboxing.
