Don't know if it helps you out but firstly there's actual pictures of it here.

And also, don't want to unduly make you nervous but that's exactly what Amazon were telling me with the DA:I and AC:U ones before they screwed me and cancelled my order. (Don't know about SpeedyHen though, I see them plenty on HUKD but I don't trust them after seeing reviews of them tbh.)

As for the actual item, the outer box looks nice but personally I'm glad I didn't drop the extra money on it, even at the reduced prices; especially when I seen picture 4 in the above link, I thought the images of the item would've been the usual, 'Not final product.' ones before they tweak the items and show the proper versions but nope, that's actually what you get with it. I get they most likely couldn't use red and white the other way about because of Cola having everything locked down legally but I think it looks like a really poor effort, like the sort of little bonuses you'd expect with just the collector's edition guides you get. If anything I'd have thought it would be the other way about if they were doing this, put that stuff with the CE guides and get the really nice pictures with the Ultimate CE guide.

On a side note as far as books go, what does anybody that got the Amazon UK bundle think of the History of Fallout book?
I really like it, great book in my opinion, lovely size and well printed (also a fan of that in between hardback and paperback cover on stuff) and I'm pleased to have the mini soundtrack too.
Plus of course it helps that I got £33 for the game in Game (should've thought ahead and got X1 for the copy of FO3 but I thought I had a friend of a friend lined up wanting the PS4 copy) but that meant I only paid £17 for the book and soundtrack.
