Anticipated Halo 5 Guardians Collectors Edition and Limited Edition (GAME Exclusive)

[Vlad]

I really don't know what to do about this one tbh.

I like the sheer scale of the figure and I love Halo but it looks shoddy as hell in close-ups (real lack of detail imo and you could see the moulding marks and everything) and I really didn't like the way the figures shook rather a lot whenever he moved it, didn't look like a good sign to me.
Wtf's happened to Project Triforce over the past year or two when it comes to CE's?

Also interesting that there's 3 weeks to release and Game haven't sold out yet.
I'm seriously tempted to cancel and pick it up when they realise, 'Oh, shit, we've got a warehouse full of 3'x2'x2' Halo 5 CE's! We don't have the space for anything else now! Quickly reduce this crap and get it cleared!'

Having the same issue here myself. Can't decide if I want to cancel and wait it out. But I do want the game on release, so cancelling might not save me all that much.

Argh, what to do, what to do x

My decision was rather easy after seeing the statue, the only reason you're kind of spending about 150 euros extra (?) Is for the statue, which doesn't even seem that great of a quality statue compared to other statues i could buy for around that price. :p

How does everyone feel if this CE "only" cost $200? Does that make it more palatable, or is $150 more what everyone thinks this should sell for?

It's a lot better than the 300USD asking price over here in the UK!

I actually hadn't looked up the US price before now but even if it was equal to the US price I'd be way more likely to go for getting it.

Haha, more and more now I'm feeling like the UK is the new Australia.


As it is I've been thinking hard about it and I'm still really stumped although I'm leaning more towards waiting it out I think when I think about how it looks like it was painted by a blind chimp, how when it moves they give a good impression of a pished pirate at sea in the middle of a storm, how little physical content you get with it (compare it to Reach for example which was great), no disc (yeah, you can somehow get one but they've not said anything else yet as far as I know) and the price.

Has anyone in the US heard of trading in the digital code for the disc yet? They're cutting it a bit close to launch....

There’s a limited time-frame in which you can do so, and it must be done by 1st November. Obviously, if the code has already been redeemed the swap will not be possible.

To request the swap, digital code owners simply need to contact Customer Support via their website, and provide Microsoft with their gamertag, email address, the digital 25-character code, and a postal address for shipment of a shiny new physical copy.

The physical copy will be sent alongside codes to redeem the additional Limited Edition content, and should take 3-5 days.

According to the IGN article I read, so far it's only been announced to NA.

Errrr, that'd be right. Australia misses out again!
