Available on September 18th in the US (no word on availability elsewhere in the world) this set costs $150 USD, which doesn't seem so bad considering how much is actually included and the supposed limited production.

You can pre-order this right now for Xbox 360 (http://shop.capcom.com/store/capcomus/en_US/pd/ThemeID.1944700/productID.251532700) or PS3 (http://shop.capcom.com/store/capcomus/en_US/pd/ThemeID.1944700/productID.251532800) through Capcom's online store.

[zhaff2004]

If I were a street fighter fan, I'd be all over this... looks amazing for its price

[WINGSFANmac]

If they don't release this outside of the US we would be willing to export for those who want it. :)

Shipping such a huge item internationally would be quite costly!

[xpl0sive]

Shipping to US only :( any US members able to help out?

[gu8]

very kind of you wingsfan, your inbox will be full very soon i reckon pmsl!

[WINGSFANmac]

Shipping such a huge item internationally would be quite costly!

Indeed it would, we could only do it if everyone paid their own shipping, along with the cost of the game of course. There is no "convenience" fee or anything like that so no worries. We're not looking to make money, we are just happy to help other collectors and hopefully it'll be paid forward and eventually come back to us when we need help getting something. :D

[WINGSFANmac]

I just checked the shipping on both a medium and large flat rate shipping box to the UK and it will be somewhere between 47 and 60 USD to ship it. I haven't checked for anywhere else yet, but that's just to give a general idea. However, the cost really depends on how heavy the CE is because sometimes its cheaper to ship it in a normal box than it is a flat rate box if its not super heavy. A better price estimate could be made if I could find the specs somewhere.

[xpl0sive]

Hey Wiingsfan,

very kind of you to do this. Any idea what this would cost to ship to Australia?

[WINGSFANmac]

Hey Wiingsfan,

very kind of you to do this. Any idea what this would cost to ship to Australia?

It's no problem, we're glad to help.

These shipping rates seem to apply to shipping internationally in general (including Australia).
Large Flat Rate box dimensions:
23-11/16" x 11-3/4" x 3"
12" x 12" x 5-1/2"
$60.95 (6-10 business days)

Medium Flat Rate box dimensions:
13-5/8" x 11-7/8" x 3-3/8"
11" x 8-1/2" x 5-1/2"
$47.95 (6-10 business days)

Hopefully the dimensions of the CE will be small enough for one of these boxes. If not, it could be more because we'd have to use a custom box.

[xpl0sive]

How can we find out dimensions of this CE? would like to pre-order asap before they sell out lol.

[Bloodman]

Damn so many Ce's.... coming out that period i need to stop buying other stuff from now on.. to get them all :(

[Raasclark]

Oh man. I need this in my collection! Any US member willing to help me out pretty please :)

[SquirrelRaper]

Highly doubt it'll fit in a flat rate box. I'm guessing it will weigh like 6 lbs. The shipping is going to be $50-$60 for something this size.

[Raasclark]

Still worth the shipping fees :)

[SquirrelRaper]

Still worth the shipping fees :)

Yeah, most certainly. It's too bad you guys get hit with custom charges other wise it would be a lot cheaper to order from a retailer. I'm glad we dont get charged custom fees, well none that I know of any how.

[vhal_x]

Can someone preorder this for me? Just checked the FAQs and they don't charge until dispatch :D xx

http://shop.capcom.com/store/capcomus/en_US/pd/ThemeID.1944700/productID.251532700?resid=TdpG1goHAtcAAFWPaWsAAAAp&rests=1337846607398

[Raasclark]

Indeed, I rarely import because of custom fees. But stuff like this has to be owned!

So I guess me, Explosive and Vhal are on the import request list so far?

[vhal_x]

Yeah, I don't care how much shipping costs, I want it! Haha :)

Hopefully Amazon gets it though and ships to UK as they're usually pretty good, but I'd love if someone could preorder from Capcom for me atm, just incase xx

[nipperkipper]

This looks like a must have - now to find a way to get it - please add me to a preorder list if anyone is helping

[Likey]

Yeah, if someone can do a group-buy for this then for the love of god, please stand forward so we can get this organised. :D

I'm on the list too!

[WINGSFANmac]

I'm willing to do a group buy. Everyone will just have to get me their portion of *payment asap because I'm sure that these are going quickly.

I can export for you.
I think the easiest way to do this would be to go on the site and order in your name but ship it to me. If that is agreeable just PM me and I will message you my address. Once the game arrives I can let you know the shipping cost and then get it right back in the mail to you.

[Raasclark]

Would you mind doing the same for me too please? I'll pay and get it sent to you too. Need a contact number too : )

[evilvort3x]

im in for this also... looks awesome... does it have to be paid upfront?

[Evilhawk]

Could someone pre order this one for me aswell? aslong as they dont charge until dispatch im all in

[nipperkipper]

Thanks for the offer, can i pre order with you as well please

[Ryu Kazama]

Would obviously be interested in pre-ordering so long as I'm not paying right this minute....

[Monstermug]

Hey Wingsfan. It's very kind of you to offer shipping to UK for this! Please can you add me to the group buy? This would go very nice next to my 15th Anniversary SF arcade cabinet.

http://www.jammaplus.co.uk/forum/uploads/4276/04.jpg

[WINGSFANmac]

Everyone who wants me to preorder this just send me a PM and I'll give you my address. :)

Ill make a list of everyone who has asked so far.

Also, make sure to list which console you want it on, thanks!

Now that's some collection :bananayes:

[WINGSFANmac]

Vhal and I have found some bad news. It looks like Capcom immediately charges your account, or at least it did in my case, so you will have to pay up front. I tried via paypal and with a card and it still charged :(

[crunch2k]

I really want this but it doesn't ship to UK :(

[Raasclark]

Vhal and I have found some bad news. It looks like Capcom immediately charges your account, or at least it did in my case, so you will have to pay up front. I tried via paypal and with a card and it still charged :(

Ahhh shit. That sucks. Was up for it the moment Vhal said they take money on dispatch. Think I may miss out in that case... Unless these are around when pay day arrives. Thanks for the heads up and the help dude.

[WINGSFANmac]

Ahhh shit. That sucks. Was up for it the moment Vhal said they take money on dispatch. Think I may miss out in that case... Unless these are around when pay day arrives. Thanks for the heads up and the help dude.

Yeah, its really lame. The FAQ says this:

When will my credit card be charged?
If you have ordered physical products we don't think you should pay for your order until it is actually on its way. We will not bill you until your product(s), including backordered or preordered items, are actually shipped. If your items are shipped separately you will be billed each time an item is shipped.

I dont understand why it is charging then!

[WINGSFANmac]

I tried getting in touch with them, but there is NO number listed! Or at least not one thats easy to find!

So i try emailing them about it and every time I try sending it it tells me there is no order on my account, even when I put the order number in!! So because it says there's no order, it will not send the email to customer support!

Real nice Capcom

[NoScruffyNo]

Can you ask if it will be exclusive to the capcom store whilst your calling them?

[gurpswoo1]

If paying with paypal, no matter what you do or which tore you go pt, funds are taking straight away.

Have you tried paying via card only.

[WINGSFANmac]

If paying with paypal, no matter what you do or which tore you go pt, funds are taking straight away.

Have you tried paying via card only.


Yes, we tried using just our credit card and we were still charged immediately.

[WINGSFANmac]

I was able to send the email

Can you ask if it will be exclusive to the capcom store whilst your calling them?

I will send another but I do believe it is capcom exclusive. Even if its not it doesn't seem like it will be around very long.

[scourdx]

Unfortunately they don't do tracking for the international packaging. :(

[gurpswoo1]

Weird they are taking funds before dispatch.

Maybe they are charging you once and then refunding to confirm card is real.

Their e-mail communication is average at best, they take their sweet time.

[WINGSFANmac]

Im looking at the site and I just noticed that all of the Capcom exclusives say "Capcom Store exclusive" in bold red letters under the item. This doesn't.

Hmmm :think:

[crunch2k]

It looks like it might be on amazon.com because the product is listed on there on you can sign up when it comes available

[buttah42]

I am a street fighter fan and I am all over this. :D

[Raasclark]

Good call man. Will be keeping a keen eye on that. Although Capcom did say on their own site that it was US only...

[twistedsymphony]

If they don't release this outside of the US we would be willing to export for those who want it. :)

If you plan to setup an export please create a thread in the Group Buys and Export thread and handle all of the logistics there http://collectorsedition.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=31

thanks

[Johnny]

Would be interested, but i want to wait a little longer to see if they come with an european release.

[Craig]

I would love to have this in my life...

[Lightning00]

Do anyone know the exact number they're planning to make? I was thinking of POing this from Amazon x_x but Im not too familiar of Capcom's franchise on their definition on "limited"

[ferrari100]

I just ordered a couple of these from amazon.com

Having them sent to my U.S contact.

Amazon charge when dispatched

[NoScruffyNo]

It is up on amazon - is there anyone willing to forward one on :)

[crunch2k]

I hope you don't mind me asking but why would you need someone to forward one on? Don't amazon ship worldwide?

[nipperkipper]

I hope you don't mind me asking but why would you need someone to forward one on? Don't amazon ship worldwide?

Sometimes certain items is restricted to US shipping only, this is one of them

[Dreamcazman]

I'll most likely be preordering from Amazon and get it sent to Australia using the Shipito forwarding service. :D

[RyT]

preordered 2 :D using mail forwarding service :D

[crunch2k]

Does anyone know how I could get this shipped to the UK?

[questate]

I did ask this on another thread, but does anyone know how many pieces this is actually numbered to? Thanks

[Dreamcazman]

preordered 2 :D using mail forwarding service :D
Just preordered mine too. Never used a mail forwarding service before, I hope everything goes according to plan. :uhh:

[HIPPEEDUDE]

What mail forwarding did you use as i have thought about
using one,just not sure which is reliable enough for me

[Dreamcazman]

I went with shipito.com (http://www.shipito.com/). I have heard good things about them, good selection of shipping options and always keep you up-to-date.

Incidentally when preordering at Amazon, I entered the send to address in (CA address), they gave me some alternative address as the system didn't think I entered it right. I stuck with the original as I want to make sure it arrives.

[ferrari100]

I reckon the street fighter Bobble buds are pretty cool.
Anyone think?

[Likey]

shipito.com doesn't ship to the UK - big sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those SF bobble heads look so weird lol.

[vhal_x]

It does Likey, it's down as Great Britain and Northern Ireland (I had a wee looky earlier) xx

[Likey]

Oh yeah!!! So shipping is approx $70 + insurance? Then probably import tax for the overall cost? :/

FFS, just announce the European release. :P

[crunch2k]

shipito.com doesn't ship to the UK - big sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!

It does. It's under as Great Britain :)

[Wheeks]

Has this been confirmed as US exclusive?

[Sim]

why dont you guys use that other member who is willing to ship it to us?? these sites seem unreliable dont you think?

[Amnoz]

Pre-ordered at Gamestop today.

Super pumped to get this!

[Sim]

can you send the link? this aint on gamestop

[Amnoz]

North America only.

I went in store today, the website does not show anything yet.

[Fitzgera1d]

If you guys dont preorder from capcom, you wont get the free 8-bit lanyard. lol..

https://drh2.img.digitalriver.com/DRHM/Storefront/Company/capcomus/images/product/detail/SF_Lanyard_productimage.jpg

Anyway, if anyone needs help, I can help as well.

[Sonic]

Wow... This is so awesome! Too bad they don't ship it outside America. Would really like this, and the price was really good as well!

[Gemini-Phoenix]

A lot of people are asking me via Twitter whether a UK release will be available. If anyone sees or hears anything about this coming to the UK, could you please let me know? (Preferably via Twitter)

Likewise, if I hear anything back from Capcom Europe, I'll let you guys know here, unless you spot it first! ;)

[xpl0sive]

Just found out that SSF2 Turbo HD Remix and SF3: 3S Online Edition are the download versions from PSN and XBL and therefore won't be on disc. Instead you'll get download vouchers for both. That really sucks! Was hoping to have them on disc :(

On another note, for those who ordered using Shipito mail forwarding service, any idea what they'd charge to ship this? I ordered from there as well but I'm not sure on the dimensions of this box so I have no idea what it would cost to ship this to Australia.

[Jadezfire]

I preordered before lanyard was added to it, will I still get a lanyard? lol And they charged my card -_- I thought they waited....

I did a quick questimation using their calculator and worked out around $60 for express services and cheaper for standard USPS. I can't see it being much more than that.

I have to have this set so I'm not really too concerned about postage costs. :drool:

[Sim]

read some reviews on shipto, ive only seen ones saying that they are a bad service, i dont know whether to use them now :( can everyone just complain to amazon and make them ship to the UK, can you imagine how sweet that would be

[Dreamcazman]

I was a bit wary when I set it up. In fact I'll probably be a bit wary up until I have the item in my hand. :lol:

I also did a little research and it seems there are a lot of fake complaints to make the company look bad, this happens on other mail forwarder forums too. I checked on a couple of Aussie forums not related to Shipto and heard nothing but praise, so who do you believe? :shrug:

At the moment, I'm willing to take the risk. If Amazon or some other retailer decides to offer international shipping I'll probably change my order as it cuts out the middle man.

[Sim]

there is a member on this forum willing to export for us, much cheaper too, im in a dilemma which one to do, what do you think

Cheap capcom =(

I want this too; I'm also deciding whether to risk Shipto. Also fellow UKers don't forget the import VAT, which is like an extra 20% on top. I hate the UK :beee:

[Saturn]

DAMN :'(

[Dreamcazman]

In Australia we only have to pay GST (similar to VAT) if the item is over AUD$1000.

At least this is one benefit of living here. ;)

And still the games are way more expensive there compared to many other countries!. :>

[Saturn]

- consider yourself luckier than us

Sorry, I can't consider myself luckier. In a country with a messed up economy and 3rd world politicians, minimum salary is less than 500 euros, we don't get half the stuff you guys in the UK get, games are far more expensive on release date and they maintain that price for a much longer period. Many games here are opened by distributors to include instructions, translation stickers and an authentication stamp that's an atrocity and hides an additional tax that's even illegal according to the UE rules and nobody does anything about that, so the original cellophane with the playstation/nintendo stripe is removed. One of the main importers in this country is directly connected to the entity that created the stamp, which eliminates all the competition from smaller companies and other importers that could get the games directly from the UK etc for a cheaper price than the retail value.

[nipperkipper]

You are right i take it back :surrender:

Jeez, thats horrible!!! I thought such type of 'loot' only happened in here, the whole system has become 1 big proxy mafia :mad:

[Saturn]

Jeez, thats horrible!!! I thought such type of 'loot' only happened in here, the whole system has become 1 big proxy mafia :mad:

I actually made it seem a little worse than it seems, but yes it is quite bad in fact. Nobody know for sure if the guy from the entity called IGAC really is an admin for Ecoplay, one of the main distributors over here. I heard this from a reliable source though.

Microsoft does something even worse. Lately, they open the games and place the stamp not on the box but on the front cover, directly on the paper insert. In Halo Anniversary, they ruined the beautiful slipcase by placing the stamp directly above the slipcase, partially hiding the Masterchief.

So, basically, even when you find yourself a good deal in this country, you always have to live with this drama most of the times. The IGAC Drama.

IGAC means Inspecção Geral das Actividades Culturais. In english, it should be something like Cultural Activities General Inspection if my translation is accurate (CAGI to make it short).

Only a few distributors do a good work. One I recall is Sony itself, lately they have released all games factory seal if I remember. Namco Bandai too.

... so sad I can't do much to make this change and nearly no one listens to me. But most collectors in Portugal have pretty low standards. Even if they don't have much money, they still don't care much. That stamp is mandatorey, regular costumers know they need it for warranty purposes, so people are getting used to buy games with the stamp. It's even illegal to sell games and software without it. Even demo discs in cereal boxes must have that...

[Cybersick]

Hello , i heard this edition is us only.
Gives any chance to pre order it from europe Ger. ?

If games/CEs come unsealed cause of this reason, then it should be easy for resellers to sell Used games as new, that sucks pretty bad :(

That kind of resellers over here is almost non-existant. They don't bother reselling because most people will pay the same price no matter if it's sealed or not.

I tried to preorder, but now they blocked any attempt for 24 hours because they say my details don't match the information from my financial institution. What the hell?

Just came from my bank and they even allowed me to try to preorder this on their pc, but they said it's the website's problem and not theirs because everything is just fine with my details. So sad :(

Awesome! Does anyone know if you can use the DLC on a UK account?

[Workshed]

Awesome! Does anyone know if you can use the DLC on a UK account?

It'll be US DLC so (if you're going PS3) you could just create a US account on your machine, redeem the codes on that and then you should be able to play it on your normal accout.

[Sonic]

Hm.. I find it strange that Amazon will not let me pre-order this, or Kingdom Hearts 3D LE for 3DS.. Won't ship outside the U.S. apparently.

Yeah, we've all had to order to US addresses for those atm Sonic xx

Other than GameStop who will ship pretty much anywhere....

But from Gamestop you'll receive some pretty hefty customs charges once it enters the UK xx

Yeah probably :(
I'm sure play asia would too though and it seems a route more likely to get stock - are play asia really going to get someone to send it to them from the US, then send it to the UK? (in my case at least).

[gurpswoo1]

There is planetaxel but they are the worst company I have ever dealt with.

[nipperkipper]

Yeh guaranteed customs, 20% VAT, duty fee and handling charge - probably £30+ fees

Definitely keeping my eye on it here for sure, fingers crossed they get it in stock!

[Dreamcazman]

Just noticed Amazon have allowed exports of this CE.

Postage to Australia is $16! :bananayes:

[HIPPEEDUDE]

At only $16 postage it kinda seals the deal to buy one through there.
A heck of alot cheaper postage than anywhere else.
Are amazon any good with packaging though?
I would hate to have it arrive damaged & fubar

[Saturn]

However they have import fees deposit. I don't quite get what that means. Is it related to customs. or you have to pay custom taxes above all that? If that's the case, then the price is way too high.

[vhal_x]

They make you pay a deposit for customs fees, which will cover the cost of customs charges if you receive them. If it gets to you without being charged at customs, they will refund you the deposit xx

[OniRyo]

I ordered this one from Amazon.com anyways then, i don't want to miss out this amazing edition, the total costs came around 208 dollars, which is around 160 euros, it does got some great items in it, so oh well. :>

[Saturn]

AWESOME NEWS! Thanks!

[vhal_x]

No problem :) I've had it refunded to me a few times now :) Always a nice little surprise :)

Although, if it gets through customs without being charge, it will be a couple of week before the deposit is refunded, but you will get it :) xx

Amazon's postage is pretty good. I bought Skyrim CE off them (also with $16 postage) and being the huge box it is, it arrived in perfect condition. It seems to have come in the same box as how it was sent to Amazon from the supplier, this seems to be the case with a lot of the bigger CE's.

I assume this one will be packed similarly. Also the actual SF game box looks like it'll be reinforced (metal corners, etc) so there shouldn't be anything to worry about. :)

[Monstermug]

Thanks for the heads-up. Managed to buy from amazon too. I guess there will be customs charges to UK too.

[Solemn_In_Berlin]

If anyone wants info on production numbers, I found this from the Capcom Unity forums.



Andrew: I realize that Capcom is going to disclose more information about this set, but I felt like posting this to potentially save Capcom some time so that they know which questions people have about the upcoming SF collection. The following are my questions and I'm sure other people will have questions of their own to add.

Where can we pre-order it from? I know the Capcom store already has it up, but I have had bad experiences with Digital River and would rather not have to deal with them.

We are working with the big guys, and they should have their order pages up shortly. In fact, Amazon's order pages are up right now:

Xbox 360
PS3

Because of the quantities, the set won't be available in mom-and-pop stores.


Will the included DLC (for Arcade Edition and SFxT) be unlocked on the disc (ala PS3's Resident Evil 5 Gold DLC) or will the game come with a PSN/XboxLive code to download the unlock key (ala 360's Resident Evil 5 Gold DLC)? The former would be the preferred one.

As was mentioned earlier in the thread, it would be the download keys. If we would have had it be available on-disc, it would have required some re-development, which would have forced us to increase the price.

What costume packs are being referred to for the Arcade Edition's included DLC? All of them (Vanilla, Super, Ultra, Arcade Edition)? That would be great.

Every single costume from every version. (I believe it's 102 total.)

Will SFIITHD and SFIIIOE be reedemable through download codes or will they be on a disc(s)? For the 360 Edition? For the PS3 Edition?

Download codes for both version.

Will the documentary still be on a Bluray disc for the 360 edition? Will it be 1080p?

Yes, so you will require a separate Blu-Ray player. It will be 1080p.

Will the SFIV and SSFIV movies be on Bluray for the 360 edition? For PS3 Edition? Will they be 1080p?

They will be included on the Blu-Ray for both versions. The Ties that Bind (the SFIV movie) will be 1080p, and the SSFIV OVA will be 720p (that is what it was produced in)

Will the Street Fighter Animated Series be on Bluray for the 360 edition? For PS3 edition? Will it be 1080p?

It will be included on the Blu-Ray for both versions, and it will be in standard definition (no HD version exists).

Will the Street Fighter II movie be on Bluray for the 360 edition? For the PS3 edition? Will it be 1080p?

It will be included on the Blu-Ray for both versions, and it will be in standard definition (no HD version exists).

Which Street Fighter II animated series are we getting?

I'm not sure exactly which item you're referring to. The animated series is the USA Network version from 1995-1997. The Street Fighter II Animated Movie is the one animated by Group TAC and released in 1994. If you're thinking of Street Fighter II V, that is not included (legal reasons).

Who is making the Ryu Statue? Any company we should be excited about (like Sideshow or Kotobukiya)?

I suppose that partially depends on who you get excited about, but it is Multiverse, which is made up of some of the best designers at SOTA, who have made a number of our larger statues before. However, I can vouch that the detailing and overall quality of the statue in the collector's set is one of the best I've seen for its size.

Any chance of releasing the track list for the Soundtracks?

Yes, but just to give you a heads-up:

• Street Fighter - Basically, all the music from the arcade game.
• Super Street Fighter II Turbo - All the character themes, character ending themes, and general game themes (from the arcade version).
• Street Fighter Alpha 3 - Essentially the same as the official soundtrack from way back when.
• Street Fighter III Third Strike - The entire original soundtrack, plus the Online Edition soundtrack.
• Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition - Themes for all 39 characters.
• Street Fighter x Tekken - Very similar to the soundtrack included in Japan's SFxTK special edition.
• Fan-created music - Much too varied to list here (we're going to have a special feature about the 40+ contributing artists closer to launch), but it spans a wide variety of styles and genres for both remixes and original works.

What is the edition size of this run? For PS3? For 360? Altogether?

Our numbers are 14,500 for the Xbox 360, and 15,500 for the PS3. So that's 30,000 total. I should note, we're not reprinting this. Once that number is gone, it's gone for good.

What are the Artbook's dimensions? — Jonathan

I'd need to double check for the exact dimensions, but to the best of my memory, it's roughly 7.4 inches wide by 10.5 inches tall. I can be more specific if you need, but rest assured it's not a manual-sized art book.

Will the two OVAs have an english & japanese audio tracks? Will the blu-ray disc also include the animated story trailers like the Sakura, Chun-Li, C. Viper, and Ryu trailers? And if so, will they be in HD res with duel language audio too? — 3DJr.

Andrew: We are looking into ways to get the Japanese audio tracks on without degrading the overall quality of either audio or video, but for the moment, they are English only.

The Blu-Rays will not include the animated story trailers, just full-length videos.

Will this be coming to Europe? There's a lot of people that want this here. — LiamDavison

Andrew: Unfortunately, no. I can assure you that it was not for lack of trying. We spent several months aggressively trying to get it sold in retailers throughout Europe, but at the end of the day, it didn't happen. I can't go into the details, but basically we were told by what I'll call relevant companies that they did not think there would be enough interest in such a non-standard product. Obviously, they've been proven wrong, but unfortunately they can't go back and change it.

For what it's worth, your best bet at the moment is to import via Amazon.

What edit of the animated SF2 movie is being included? Is it going to be completely uncut?— HeeroCobain

Andrew: I kinda know what this basically boils down to, and the answer is, no nipples. Sorry.



So as it turns out, Crapcom wasn't being Crapcom. All the milking, all the ripoffs and all the DLC and locked DLC that were supposed to be base game content already was all for this. Well played, Capcom.

Maybe that's not the case but still, props to Capcom for making something like this. I'm not that much familiar with Multiverse (I would have wanted Koto or Alter to make it), but I hope they make an amazing statue.

One thing's missing though: Van Damme.

[OniRyo]

This is actually a huge edition really, i've only got Street Fighter 4 on the Xbox 360, but i'm getting this edition also for the Xbox 360 because as it seems all the games has no regionlock, but you're actually getting a lot of things for the price really, if i compare this with the Dragon's Dogma Limited Edition the Dragon's Dogma is totally nothing compared to this. :p

[comaamen86]

is that for sure all games region free on the 360 version?

[kittychloe]

If they are offering Australian imports I really hope the statue does not come with batteries as they will probably have to unseal it to remove them

[comaamen86]

money conversion, £135 english, just to expensive what with, farcry 3, borderlands 2 loot and we are tekken on order that month

[OniRyo]

is that for sure all games region free on the 360 version?

Well, as it seems from Planetaxel they are.

If they are offering Australian imports I really hope the statue does not come with batteries as they will probably have to unseal it to remove them


I do suppose they are not going to do that, i've bought a lot of First4Figures statues 2 with the same kind of function(lighting function) and the batteries came apart, this seems to happen all the time, i don't think you have to worry this will be most likely apart.

[comaamen86]

why does everything have to be september this year 8(

At only $16 postage it kinda seals the deal to buy one through there.

Sorry to answer you question in a second post, I ordered Diablo 3 from amazon, it was put snugly in a cardboard box and arrived perfect, you just gotta hope the people that sort and deliver in your state don't suck

[HIPPEEDUDE]

Sorry to answer you question in a second post, I ordered Diablo 3 from amazon, it was put snugly in a cardboard box and arrived perfect, you just gotta hope the people that sort and deliver in your state don't suck

Well,in Queensland its a fifty fifty,sometimes they sucky big time other times
they are really good. But overall it really depends on how well packed the item
is. Last thing i recieved through the post was completely fubar due to it not
being packed well,as long as SF 25th is packed well all will be well:D

[grinny20800]

If the disks are region free, that would be more awesome, I've just ordered pre-ordered this to come to the UK and obviously thought I'd never get to play these games from this version.

[Dreamcazman]

If the disks are region free, that would be more awesome, I've just ordered pre-ordered this to come to the UK and obviously thought I'd never get to play these games from this version.
I can't see Capcom making new versions or discs of these games. As they have already been released and proven to be region free, it's a pretty safe bet that the ones in this pack will be the same. :thumb:

[vhal_x]

Yeah and the fact that someone posted on the Capcom forum (I assume someone who works there?) that EU people's best bet for this CE is to import (and no mention of possible region issues) I assume this will all be region free xx

[kittychloe]

Is the ps3 not region free for the majority of games in general? I figured the 360 might be locked so I just ordered ps3

[vhal_x]

PS3 is either mostly region free, or ALWAYS region free, but I think we're all referring to 360 copies, since those are the ones that tend to be region locked :( xx

[Saturn]

Is the ps3 not region free for the majority of games in general? I figured the 360 might be locked so I just ordered ps3

It is, but the majority of the DVDs included will not be. Still, I prefer beat'em ups on PS3. I usually play with the controller and the DS3 Dpad is far better than the 360 for beat'em ups IMO. I do have arcade stick but after trying it for some time now I'm still better with the controller :). So yeah, all this talk to say I also ordered the PS3 version.

[kittychloe]

Not that I intend to open it.. But I dont trust them, as much as I would prefer the Xbox ones.. The trust is gone

[Saturn]

Not that I intend to open it.. But I dont trust them, as much as I would prefer the Xbox ones.. The trust is gone

My consideration for them is very low as well.

[kittychloe]

I'm kinda like that too, the only fighter I do on 360 is DoA.. Exclusiveness and all that, I wonder the the 15th anniversary controller will work on it, I need to get a joystick, like the MK one, then I can use it as a money box :D

[Ryu Kazama]

The 360 version has no DVDs aside from the games themselves. They're most likely repackaged versions of the old products so the locking may be the same. I wouldn't trust 360 games in general. I think Capcom tend to lock their discs though this may be just for Japan and then keep US/EU open to each other.

As for stick vs pad...stick. Less strain, easier to do most things. Just takes a lot of time to get used to/good at. Don't give up!

[evilvort3x]

i have 1 preordered at amazon.com not sure what 2 do though due 2 size!

[Saturn]

i have 1 preordered at amazon.com not sure what 2 do though due 2 size!

It comes from Amazon, so size shouldn't be an issue. Unless you're talking about the lack of space you have at home :P

[ferrari100]

I managed to order streetfighter from amazon to the UK for £130 including shipping and customs charges. :)

Sent from my Lumia 710 using Board Express

[UdonRebel]

I managed to sweet talk some family in Canada to forward it to the UK for me, couldn't miss out for my SF collection!

[DoctorX]

This edition is massive. I predict this will be one of these so called "holy grails" of collectables in future.

[KASTANO]

Official images of the edition:

Awesome!!!!!

[Monstermug]

Those pictures are great! That's what you call a real collector's edition. The box even looks like it is velvet lined. I can't wait to get my hands on this beauty.

[Evilhawk]

Im so tempted to get this even though im not a big fan of the sreet fighter games im tempted to get this. The edition looks even better on the actual pictures but im thinking about one thing. Is this one worth it?

[Saturn]

Im so tempted to get this even though im not a big fan of the sreet fighter games im tempted to get this. The edition looks even better on the actual pictures but im thinking about one thing. Is this one worth it?

I don't collect US stuff, but this one is very impressive and a must!

It is worth the full price considering all the stuff it includes. The Ryu statue might not be perfect (we'll be able to tell when we see it in real life) but puts to shame the crappy toys from the regular SF4 CE. You should definitely not miss this if you have the chance.

[Evilhawk]

just hoping Amazon packs it well now, but this months game budget is blown again and its only 5 days since my paycheck arrived

[Solemn_In_Berlin]

Im so tempted to get this even though im not a big fan of the sreet fighter games im tempted to get this. The edition looks even better on the actual pictures but im thinking about one thing. Is this one worth it?

If you don't own any of the four games, they're worth the price alone. Especially since they come with all of the DLC that Capcom ripped all of us off of.

[Letrico]

Epic good news Amazon ships it to more countries now. Australia is one of it ;)

[ferrari100]

I ordered to UK a couple of weeks back.
Total including customs charges was £130. Not bad

[tallkid123]

Epic good news Amazon ships it to more countries now. Australia is one of it ;)

You can preorder it locally at gamelane.com.au for about $200 posted.

[Likey]

It's about time I get this pre-ordered, I would only cry if I find out it is already sold out.

[Letrico]

You can preorder it locally at gamelane.com.au for about $200 posted.

But from amazon its 165 USD posted. lol

[Raasclark]

One questions I haven't seen mentioned. Are the DLC codes going to be compatible with non-US consoles?

[Ryu Kazama]

DLC is based on the game region code. So it'll be US only (most likely. Region free DLC is rare). So you'll need a US account to redeem the codes. You can make different region accounts on any region PS3/360.

[Lobo_do_Norte]

Hey !

Sorry if it has already been posted on the topic... I am lazy about reading all the 17 pages here.
But here's (a quite old) news that I just came accross and that would please PS3 gamers !

http://www.geek.com/articles/games/ps3-owners-get-4-more-games-in-street-fighter-25th-anniversary-collectors-set-20120714/

[xpl0sive]

Think I might cancel my pre-order for this. The more I think about it, the more I think it's garbage.

I already have all the games in this set (as any SF fan would), already got the animated movies, the TV series included in this one is the terrible American cartoon and not the superior Street Fighter II V series and having HD remix and SF3:3S as DLC vouchers instead of on-disc makes this set worthless, as it'll never be a complete set if you were to sell it, as you would have used the codes (or they would expire). Same applies to the addition of the Alpha games to the ps3 version.

I guess it's alright for those who don't own the games and want to get into Street Fighter, but for true fans of the series I think it's a bit of a let down and doesn't seem fitting of a 25th anniversary collection. I really would have loved to have every SF game released on disc, including the original SF as well as the Alpha series. That would have been an amazing collection.

[Saturn]

Woah wait a sec, the series included is not SF II V? So what is it then??? Is it those terrible cartoons with team Guile fighting the evil forces of team Bison and a bunch of other nonsensical crap?

[xpl0sive]

Yeah that's the one, lol.

[Saturn]

:/

I died a little inside. I thought it was SF II V. But now that you mention I suddenly lost a little bit of interest...

[xpl0sive]

lol sorry bro. I kinda felt the same when I found out, and when I found out some of the games were DLC-based. I just think this is a really weak attempt by Capcom at doing a 25th anniversary collection for the fans of the series. When I saw the Final Fantasy collection, I thought to myself, 'that is how you do a 25th anniversary collection!', not the crap Capcom put together. Such a shame.

[Raven]

^ Well to be fair the FF is exclusive to Japan and they don't have any licencing issues when releasing everything whereas this is in the US so there are licencing issues such as with Street Fighter V and Japanese audio on the short OVAs that came with the games recently. Same with animated movies, only English and the one provided is not the directors cut version. Personally have mixed feelings about the FF one.

The DLC is just crapcom being cheap, they said that themselves like with the DLC for Street Fighter x Tekken is a code rather that wasting money fixing disc. With that being said they also said it themselves that they couldn't bring this set to Europe because of cost issues ..... yeah right lazy a$$es =/

I don't really own any of that stuff so although somewhere deep down I feel somewhat gutted about the content/quality of films plus presentation; it still kinda worth it for me since I don't own any of the stuff like movies and games so yeah =p

[Saturn]

It doesn't matter, even if it didn't bring II V, having this animated series in this edition is something I consider bad. I don't know what you guys think, but I've seen a little of the series in the past and I find it really bad and very... ridiculous :/

[buttah42]

I'm more excited about the street fighter 4 movie not the one that came with the SF4 collector's.

[Raasclark]

Decided to cancel my order. It's a beautiful set and worth the money (if I didn't have to pay shipping costs) but I've got a gut feeling capcom have made more than there is in demand after seeing they're latest money grabbing antics. Even though this is numbered, I'm struggling to see this retaining initial value. I could be wrong. And if I wasn't paying the additional postage costs, I probably wouldn't cancel. But, I dunno man. Just not feeling it...

[vhal_x]

The shipping from amazon isn't too expensive though? I've got priority shipping and it's only 25 usd xx

[Raven]

Yeah shipping is good with Amazon.com but the import fees on the other hand is what's making my wallet cry.

Screw you UK, seriously screw you and your crap tax.

[comaamen86]

Yeah shipping is good with Amazon.com but the import fees on the other hand is what's making my wallet cry.

Screw you UK, seriously screw you and your crap tax.

what is the deal with import fees, i ordered walking dead ce and on basic shipping there was none but faster shipping they wanted 9pound am i still liable to get an import bill?

[Twisted]

I just cancelled my pre-order also..demand appears to be soft..it's been available for several months now and no retailer as sold out of their allocation when were just more or less days from release..i see the price coming down some..plus there appears to be plenty to go around..first reports i read it was to be exclusive to 3 retailers in the USA...gamestop, capcom usa store and amazon..now it's up for sale at a dozen different retailers and seems like there's lots and lots being made available..even though it's limited and numbered,..it's probably like 250,000 of them :D

[mosavon]

Ah well its only 150 so it's not gonna make me homeless, the karate belt sold me :haha:

[Raven]

what is the deal with import fees, i ordered walking dead ce and on basic shipping there was none but faster shipping they wanted 9pound am i still liable to get an import bill?

This import tax deposit is in place as Amazon is trying to save us the hassle of the package being with held via customs thus causing delays until you paid them the dreaded import VAT/tax which is I think 20% of the original value.

This only applies to products outside the EU bought from over the net though but there is a certain limit which I can't remember but it's pretty petty. I think it depends on who ships it on Amazon.com, like I don't have import fee deposit on the Avengers Box set but this I do. Although I'm unsure of the real reason behind this, maybe these is shipped from a warehouse within the EU or maybe a different product.

I am going to cancel as well for the time being just because the US is pumping billions into the economy to kick start job creation and stuff every month and making interest rates low as hell (as close to zero I believe) and as a result making the US$ weak. This is a big plus as the dollar to a pound is decreasing which makes importing alot less expensive. It was like 0.64p to 1 USD before, today it's like 0.6176p to a dollar and dropping =D

As an example using a before and after rate, I believe after everything this amounts to 195USD.

Before - ~0.64p to $ = 0.64 * 195 = £124.80
Now - 0.6176p to $ = 0.6176 * 195 = £120.43

Back in the day before the recession, I believe the lowest rate I seen was 0.47p to $, that is like £91.65 for this!

[xpl0sive]

Demand is soft as no one from the fighting game community is buying this. Most street fighter fans would already own the majority of the content in this set, plus having a large portion of the content on DLC vouchers instead of physical disc is a massive fail and will really hurt the resale value of this set.

Unfortunately this is just another classic case of Capcom trying to milk existing products and squeeze more money out of consumers, rather than trying to please it's fans. I think this will be available for quite some time after release.

[Ryu Kazama]

Decided to cancel my order. It's a beautiful set and worth the money (if I didn't have to pay shipping costs) but I've got a gut feeling capcom have made more than there is in demand after seeing they're latest money grabbing antics.

Just not feeling it...

Feeling exactly the same. Might cancel it tonight. What with other stuff coming out (DJ Max!) that's actually sold out on pre-order. Street Fighter for life, but...I dunno.

[RyT]

cancelling here too.. fund my borderland loot chest and vita and wii U and others lol..

[vhal_x]

I guess I'm one of the very few that is holding onto my preorder then? xx

[Saturn]

I just cancelled mine a couple of minutes ago. There is something far more important I found out to buy.

[Raven]

Just cancelled as well =p

[Solemn_In_Berlin]

Well I found an unboxing video. The box is pretty good and the artbook's neat but the statue doesn't have its own box and the soundtrack CDs don't have their own jewel cases. I'm still undecided on whether or not I should cancel my pre-order.

Here it is:

F7jmX3QDRXg

[mosavon]

That looks really nice, a bit better than i thought it would, didn't expect a velvety box & looks of good quality :)

[Dreamcazman]

Even though I've got all the games, I'm keeping my preorder. It's more for collecting, than playing.

[Ryu Kazama]

30k editions for 360. So probably 30k for PS3 too.

What do...keep or cancel... I love me some SF but $150 with other stuff coming out, too. Only the box and statue really do it for me.

[Raven]

There one thing that is bothering me, as I don't own any of the games; the packaging for for the 2 games in physical disc form is uber shite. How cheap is that with no manual (list moves!), warnings on inside cover and what an ugly box art, would it kill to just put in the original games that is currently being sold?

The CDs in plastic wallets are pretty crap as well.

[Ryu Kazama]

Wallets for CDs doesn't surprise me. That was what completely threw me off Toy Story's Toy Box edition. It doesn't cost that much more for the thinner jewel covers.

Move lists are a waste of paper. A complete waste. Everything is in game.

[Raven]

It's more or less presentation of it although I do admit that once I get a game, the first thing I like to do is look through the manual and crapcom does do pretty neat and somewhat thorough manuals not like a few pages kind of thing. Considering this is a CE and they downgraded it to a inferior is something I hate and just to save money where they can is just no.

As I said this is a CE so everything should be top notch or as close to it as possible, printing the warnings about seizures on the inside cover is just lol *facepalm*

Vouchers I don't really mind but somehow kinda feels like a GOTY edition lol, just with added finesse xD

amazon usa has already knocked off $5 off the price of this set for xbox360 and it's been out not even 24 hours.lol...i guess we can tell demand is soft so price will be knocked down more down the road in the near future i think.

I just cancelled mine a couple of minutes ago. There is something far more important I found out to buy.

What have you found then?!?!? :clap:

Just got this and it looks and feels really good quality! One of the nicer CE's in my collection. The 'Tien' symbol (heaven pronounced in English) is actually embossed on the outside slip box. There is a 25th Anniversary symbol on the side which is also embossed. Really quality! Reminds me of Blizzards editions.

I have decided against getting it as well. Primarily because , in my opinion the contents do not justify the cost. Specifically, I have these issues:

1. The Soundtrack CDs cannot be displayed well in the plastic sleeves.
2. Much of the content is in DLC form, so no physical items (to collect.)
3. The Artbook contains fan art and does not cover the chronology of the series.
4. There is very little information on the quality of the statue.
5. The Heaven on the Box makes no sense

I have recently received the collector's edition of Guild Wars 2, which is also priced $149 but it is definitely worth it. The statue is monstrous and of very very high quality, there is a huge steel box, hardcover art book, decent enough case for the game, and art prints with a frame included. Street fighter simply fails in comparison.

If the Statue is of good enough quality (high quality china or resin) then perhaps I could think on it but even then the price will be just for the statue.
