PC Wondering if anyone could share some light/pics on these Rainbow Six CE's

[jono_1]

Hey guys. I've been looking through this site for a while now, y'all have some nice collections. Hopefully I'll have a nice one too some day haha. Anyway, I'm wondering if any of you have pics/info on these collectors editions for Rainbow Six. From what I can gather from google Amazon, ebay etc, there's 3 floating around.

1. American CE with Rainbow Six->Rogue Spear: Covert Ops inclusive with a special strategy guide. Seems fairly common.

2. UK edition CE. Comes in a blue box and is just Rainbow six+eagle watch and rogue spear+urban ops. Has some extra goodies too. Wondering if anyone has some pics of whats inside etc. Just curious is all. All I can find in a box pic on google images which shows whats in on the back, but a proper pic of the contents would be awesome. Also, there don't seem to be many around. Was it a very limited release?

3. Collectors edition tin. Limited to 3000 it seems. Anyone know if it was exclusive to a region? Also, what is actually included? Some places I've found seem to think only the original game, while others seem to say its everything from 1 up to lockdown. Can anyone shed some light on these? Also, any pics of contents? :3 I can find some of the tin (silver tin w/ rainbow six crosshair logo), but none of the actual contents which is a pain.


In addition, are there any other noteworthy editions from the Rainbow six->Raven shield era? Not interested in Lockdown and beyond.

Thanks guys!

As far as I'm aware #3 is limited to Canada. It was available at Future shop and Gamestop/EB.
Contents:

Rainbow Six Mouse Pad - Exclusive
Rainbow Six T-shirt - Long Sleeves - Exclusive
Rainbow Six - Camo Belt- Exclusive
Rainbow Six - Embroidered Cap - Exclusive
Rainbow Six - Messenger Bag - Exclusive

This was one of if not my first CE, so most of the contents have been used/worn, but I can get you a pic of any particular item if you want. All of the games came in plain white sleeves, not in cases.

Thanks for the reply. Judging from the games included, I am guessing the $10 rebate code would be for Vegas 1? So the CE was released in 2006? Shame about the games not coming in special cases. Knowing whats actually in there's is pretty awesome, now I know what to look out for to tell if one is complete or not.

unrelated edit: funnily enough I've just seen a copy of the euro/blue CE pop up on ebay. Doesn't include the collectors bonuses but it seems like the games might just have come in plain jewel cases ( here).

edit 2: oh wow. just somehow found a whole page on the CE tin with a pic. Was an 06 release indeed. Case closed on that one haha. Still interested if anyone knows if the UK/euro blue was a limited release, or if there's any noteworthy editions from the rainbow six->raven shield era though.

I honestly don't remember what the coupon was for, though I'm assuming it's for Vegas 1. It's not listed on the back of the box.

Good luck finding this one, I don't see them popping up too often (I've seen one Splinter Cell box set come up for sale in the past year, that's it.).

Haha yeah, it definitely looks pretty scarce. I get the feeling it will be one that I'll forget about for several years then just pops up one day. Only time will tell.

The blue UK is not really rare/and or limited, it comes with a T-shirt, poster and round mouse mat!

The original N. American CE looks like this










The 2006 version is exclusive to Futureshop in Canada. The three exclusive CE were Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon. I believe 3000 were made for each series. Here are the pics

Weird. I never really seem to see it that often. That said, I may have found a dude to sell me one which is awesome.

Awesome, thanks for those pics dude. Interesting to know all the main Tom Clancy games got a special set around then.
