As for the debate regarding the pricing, Bethesda have a long history of producing some quality CE's, all or which have been worth their asking price. Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Fallout: New Vegas CE's instantly spring to mind, and they are amongst some of the finest CE's in recent years. No doubt the same ould be said for Skyrim's CE.
I have faith in Bethesda that the statue will be of the finest quality, and certainly not a cheap Chinese mould. I also think the artwork book will be a fine and exquisite piece of workmanship which will be desired by collectors for many years to come!
It also appears that this may be quite a large CE. From the promo picture, I imagine this to be of equal size to the Halo 3: Legendary Edition or Halo Reach: Legendary Edition. I also imagine it to be reasonably heavy too, what with a huge statue and hardback artwork book
Has anyone spotted any confirmation yet on whether this will be released here in the UK?
