I believe the batmobile edition will be available again before release.

Thanks Ken.
To clarify. Statue's are part of my collecting background. And it was TLOU statue from Triforce that brought me to this forum and hence I started to take note of the community and the CEs.
But statues are not the singular reason I buy CEs. I like the little nick nacks too. I like the Bloodborne Nightmare Edition CE. There's no statue but I like the beckoning bell and quill.
Overall I was just trying to explain why I wasn't aware of differences in The Witcher III Wild Hunt CEs. It wasn't that I was busy. It's just that I'm new to CEs.
In this case I would have liked the cloth map (and I think Major Nelson was taking a side swipe at Sony by saying you can scribble all over the paper map).
But I've also become a PS4 fanboy ever since E3 2013 and when Sony snagged Street Fighter V. So I'll probably stick with the PS4 CE as you suggest.

Thanks for the info!

Yeah, Ken rocks!
Since I don't collect for PS3/4 I'm a little biased and like the X1 version, but its really up to you what you want. Also, not entirely sure if its region locked or not? I may have a spare X1 preorder that hasn't been claimed yet (assuming BB doesn't cancel mine there). It'd be MUCH easier for me to ship it to a US person vs. elsewhere due to costs, so not sure if you're collecting things over here in the States or if you collect them back across the pond? (would be tough to bring this back as a carry on haha) But I could have it shipped to you here in NY for free (w/Amazon) if you wanted it for my cost?
Also, the batmobile edition will likely resurface as a lot of people cancel preorders (especially that costly) closer to launch, so you should be able to find that one somewhere.
P.s. I am not Major Nelson....

Thank you for the warm welcome. And the offer to help me out on the X1 CE.
I think I may stick with the PS4 version but I'll contact you if I change my mind...which I could very easily. When you say "your cost". Do you mean at cost or an inflated cost?
Fingers crossed on the Batmobile CE. I prefer it to the Batman statue tbh.
Lol, sorry about the Major Nelson comment.
I just think it's silly getting his signature.

We all have our favs, but really... I've not been overly impressed with figure quality in most CE's. The licensed purveyors of figures tend to be of better quality and value for the price. (This doesn't override getting a ltd CE for your favorite game/collection).
I actually prefer my CE's with physical renditions of in-game knick-knacks, over figurines of the protagonist. It is easier on the wallet and space... And I can grab a HQ figure from a pro studio, if I so desire. As "cool" as some may be... They'd be that much better if sourced to a specialty boutique.
The FFXIV "dragon" is a perfect example of jacking up a CE because of a "figure".. That would have been better off made by a licensed retailer.
The Witcher 3 box isn't going to be a monster of a box. It is about the same size as every other CE w/ a figure. (Titanfall notwithstanding.)

I agree with you on the whole. That's why I wanted to clarify that, although my background is in statues, I am interested in all the other bits 'n' pieces / collectibles in the CEs.
Having said that, TLOU statue was a must have for me.
There isn't a high quality statue out there of any note for TLOU.
I wish there was.
Overall, as far as CE statues go, this one is pretty damn good.
I'm not even a big fan of Triforce. I have no other TriForce statues.
But I have a LOT of love for the game and the characters.
I'm very happy with it.
I'd love to see PCS or even Sideshow have a crack at TLOU - but I know it won't happen at PCS (because I've asked).
When I was at NYCC last year the reps at TriForce said they were working on a new TLOU statue...I suspect it's another Joel and Ellie dio but I've no idea when it's coming out.
