Hi guys,

My Handsome Jack Clap Trap in a box Edition arrived today and I opened it to take a look at the quality.

I have to say that I am disappointed overall. There is not much substance to the Clap-trap unit. It looks to be made out of a thin plastic material which is painted to a decent degree, but still lacks the punch needed to get excited about it. At first glance, it looked to be made out of a hard and thin cardboard rather than plastic but tapping on the outside made me lean more towards the plastic material.
The arms and antenna need to be attached to the unit. The arms do not seem to be bendable in the final product, but maybe it's because I haven't assembled mine (still in the original plastic).
The Clap Trap is hollow, other than whatever motors are needed to run the thing, and I'm not sure how to gain access tot he camera to add batteries (then again, I haven't fully explored the unit because I'm leaving it in the original plastic.)
I'm including 2 pictures here for reference. The first is of the bottom of the box that the clap trap is in. It shows what comes in the box and although I couldn't get the english in there, I can translate to the best of my ability from the German that is visible:

1 Antenna
2 Arms
1 Unit
1 Base (stand)
1 USB cable
Operating instructions
Smartphone not included

On the right you can see the specs, battery life and other info for the unit.

The second picture is the unit in the box, as it appears when you open it.

Of course, the Lithos are included as well - I have not cracked them yet as they come in a sealed envelope and are mini poster size.

The steelbook. This is what you are buying this edition for. It's got a great paint job. It's embossed and it's double sided (melty looking Psycho mask on one side, melty looking Handsome Jack mask on the other). I don't know what art is inside as it comes sealed in plastic shrink wrap and I haven't opened it.

I'm not sure if I'm going to keep this edition, as it's not my sort of thing - personally just interested in the steel book.

Hope this info helped some of you make a decision as to whether or not you want it!

Thanks for the information, can't wait to get mine! I bought this edition primarily for the Steelbook as well. Wanted to play the games but it looks like I need to purchase another copy of the game as the Steelbook is sealed... Btw is the game inside the steelbook or in it's own case?

Game should be completely separate. That is why amazon.de require you to pick up the game + claptrap combo

I didn't open the steel book so I don't know for sure. If other sites are listing it as a separate buy then I am inclined to agree that the steel book is separate. However, unlike other editions that were this big (DA: Inquisitor's Edition, Wolfenstein CE) this one has the branding for the particular edition on the outside of the box (Xbox One, PS4), leading me to believe that the game is in the steel book. At EB games, there is no notice stating that the game is a separate inclusion to the CE. Perhaps some websites list the game as separate on order as a mistake and those who ordered say from Amazon, will get two copies of the game.
