Apologies for this - I'm new to it completely and didn't realise that you had to make a value on it.

Would it be possible for one of the admins to move the thread for me please?

That's some gold you have there. Even information about this edition are difficult to find.
I could be interested if you could give a hint about the price.

Hi Jabberwock,

Sorry to say that I have no idea what it's worth and that's what I'm really trying to find out. I've even contacted Blizzard to see if they can help.

I've been all over the internet trying to find something similar and there is nothing - I can't even find anything saying that they made this one - which is weird!

I'm sure it's worth at least a few £££'s but I really wouldn't know where to start.

Like you - I'm intrigued by this one - but as it's in such great condition - even the games jewel case is really good - considering it lived in a different box in a different house! lol

Regards,

Niki

The only thing I could find out about this is that it included a chance to buy a special figure that was not for sale anywhere else and is now rare/expensive.

Best bet to gauge the price is to put it on ebay with a high BIN price and best offer, see what people are willing to pay.

You're lucky because I have some information about this Collectors Edition. Not a lot but it's better than nothing.

I use to play at Starcraft Brood War a lot (from 2004 to 2010). I also played on the iccup server, which was(is ?) the server were all pro and real SC player use to play (because it have tools to avoid hack and third party program which is cancer in battle.net server). On this server I met some collector, some of them bought several copies of it on internet because it was rare and not a lot of people knew about it.
In 2008, there was around 15 of them :
- On a forum, I know there was two guys that own 3 and 2 editions of the game (I remember it because one was asking for information about the one he had and because he ordered a second one, then another guy come from nowhere with a pictures of 3 of those collectors).
- 2 friends of mine had 6 and 2 copy.

The guy which own 6 of them told me he got them mainly from an Australian shop that had a stocks of them. Which means there should be more wandering in Australia.
Anyway, from what I know, there is only english (UK ?) version of this collector.

I'd love to get it on my hand because I used to play a lot on the game. But not really interested if I had to play X00GBP.
The best you could do is like thetof91 said, make an auction with high buy it now to attract people, then wait for offer or start bidding auction later after letting people know about it.

Also, do you know if the keycode have been registered or not ? Because if not, it's worth mentioning because it can hold some value.
For exemple I ohave my own first print version of SC. The key needed to install the game works like keycode for recent SC/Diablo game which means you can register it on your battle.net profile.

Sorry for grammar mistakes there should be a lot of them but my english is not perfect xD

About the MGS art, may I ask what is it exactly? postcards? posters? If so, what size? And is there something else in the back of each art? If it's a promo thing it might hold some nice value to it... Anyway, they look really nice as it seems to be from MGS1 era though these are common illustrations from Shinkawa.

I'm a mgs collector, so I've seen lots of stuff... The A4s you are showing me are kind new to me, but I can't tell you if they are Konami official stuff or just some store promotion, as there is nothing written or any logos. Your best bet is to put on ebay for auction or best offer option. I would be interested if my wallet wasn't so empty this month. Sorry I could not help you more.
