Woah! Looks very nice. The ToysRus pre-order looks like the best? signed poster!? Perhaps I'm misreading it :S

Thanks for the info!

Does anyone have an idea of when this will be available for preorder (the CE) on amazon or gamestop in the US? Also, what is the release date for this game? I couldn't find it on google or other sources...

Gamestop lists the release date as November 1st... they're not takeing pre-orders yet but I'd assume they'll be up tomorrow.

Amazon.com has it listed and still hasn't changed the original release date.
So it looks to be that US [NA] and PAL regions have exclusive CE's for this game.

The Ranger of the North Quiver Case for the US - US$139.99
[Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S. and to APO/FPO addresses]

And the Snow Troll Figurine for PAL region -
EBGames - AU$98 [PC - AU$88]
http://www.ebgames.com.au/search?title=Lord+of+the+Rings%3a+War+in+the+North +Collectors+Edition
JB HiFi - AU$94 [PC - AU$94]
http://www.jbhifi.com.au/games/lord-of-the-rings-war-of-the-north/
GAME.AU - AU$99.95 [PC - AU$89.95]
http://www.game.com.au/search?search=war%20in%20the
I'm glad PAL region gets the statue as I prefer figurines. The Quiver Case is about the length of three dvd cases and hopefully made of proper material rather than something plasticky.

Oh, both editions are available for preorder at Game4Game :)
But be prepared for some premium asking price!

I received my US CE today, it's actually pretty good. The material they used for the Quiver case, arrows and maps weren't cheap materials and looks quite authentic. The arrow/map is has double layered material and the interior of the Quiver case is suede. Not too badly priced either and is big enough to use for cosplaying ;) xx
