At least one is marked higher than 5,000.
Ugh that's pretty bad

So much for 5000 in any form

Still I actually quite like the CE

Pity they were disingenuous about how limited it was

Pretty sh*tty gig that they would lie about 5000 total...Haha, maybe they're including the Wub Wub editions in as well...lol
So like 5000 GotG editions and say 10,000 Wub Wubs...lol
Either way, it's pretty dumb!

Only issue is that the # if I'm not mistaken is on the Display case..which was the only exclusive part to the GotG Edition.

So yeah, sucks to hear there is a number over 5000, unless they actually did do random #'s, which also sucks

so at the end of the day..another misleading scam..i thought they would be marked like number 3456/5000..not like the PAL borderlands 2 loot chest fiasco..with just random number on the certificate.so the pic in the link display case has number 5070 on it..so what?..that means nothing to a collector..it is like the numbers on the latest halo collectors editions...no wonder there's been gamestop and amazon restock..there is MORE than 5000 I bet.

Unhappy LIES Beyond The 5K Mark

The contents or the /5000 doesn't matter to me. The fact a company would lie about the number availability is the part that is shady to me (IMO). I'm hoping that maybe the #5070 label is photoshopped...lol
Doubt it, but eh, you never know...lol
On a side note, the game isn't that bad though...

Just to remind everyone where the 5000 number comes from

Swifty being

First reference to 5000 number

only 5,000 of the "Game of the Generation" bundles will be produced.

So that 5070 numbered one really grinds my gears

I'd suggest contacting them and asking for an explanation. That is blatant lying

So not only do the contents suck, but this thing was never as limited as we were led to believe..?

And why doesn't it include the */5*** number? With it only saying 5070 you have NO idea how many were really made.

Good luck getting even retail for this edition if selling it. I'm truly sorry to hear this for the collectors that bought this and were excited about it.

At the end of the day, it's going to be the same as finding a Call of duty collectors edition for $20 in the bargain bin at walmart!

Personally I think the contents are fine for the money

The display case is quite good actually although I have doubts the motor would last under heavy use

Button is my 2nd favorite part

Statue is fine for what it is and well the gun is the gun

It looks plasticky but feels good when you hold it

My biggest complaint is the numbering/limitedness followed by the weak cardboard but there's another strong cardboard box behind that so contents are good
