Right I'm just gonna come out and say it.

I like this CE. The way people were banging on about the quality of the items inside makes me laugh! From the way people were going on, I was expecting the models to be hollow plastic and weigh next to fuck all. Like something I'd expect to buy from the Games Workshop. Unpainted and flimsy feeling.

Ok, I will admit that there are a couple of items that are undwhelming. The lock pick set for example and the Inquisitor's badge. Would have been nice if they were made out of metal. Also I feel there was a bit of a design flaw with the top lid. There should have been something like a clear Perspex cover to stop the items from falling out of the top. I wasn't overly impressed with the quill either. Should have been the same as in the concept image. >.< One more thing, what the fuck was the deal with the game case hooder being moulded into the top of the outer sleeve!? There was plenty of fucking room where the journal goes for the game case. That was annoying too.

Anyway, all in all, I like this CE. It could just be a bias opinion because I had my CE bought for me and it arrived undamaged. Nethertheless, I think I would have still been happy with it had I purchased it myself. It's by no means a bad CE and I am sure we have all spent a lot on other CEs that have either come with less items or are of lesser quality?

I'm not trying to pick a fight with you but you kinda set yourself up for it by stating that you laugh at others banging the quality of this. When it comes down to it, removing the game from this aspect, you are paying $100 dollars for the box and what it contains. Now, I agree that there are a lot of things they have included. No one has knocked on the statues except the fact they were packaged poorly and some have talked about damage. You, yourself, started criticizing the quality of the contents.

For comparison sake, look at other notable collections that are separate from the game, Treehouse Brand Stores, and you will see a vast difference in quality of items for nearly the exact same price i.e. Paddock, Panzerhund, and Dev Team editions. Just my two cents...

Edit: I am most unimpressed with the "Orlesian" coins.

It's fucking garbage. The plastic little lockpick tools are no different to the cheap shit you will find in those $2 toy machines. It's really poor.

The quill? Holy shit, the quill. I feel like I'm a kid again at some shitty fairground. Cheap &plastic, with bits coming off of it.

The notebook + cloth map are the only decent things. The rest is of REALLY poor quality. I own dozens of CEs (maybe more) and I've never seen anything this shoddy before. They've certainly outdone themselves.

And for $220. It did arrive undamaged, so I will see if it appreciates in value at all. If not, I will put it in the bottom of the cupboard with all of the other shitty CEs I seem to have collected.

I have literally 70+ collectors editions between ps3 and ps4 and this by far the worst one i own. The price was insane and the whole thing is a pile of junk

Man, this threads makes me nervous to finally open mine when I get it on Saturday. Has anyone had any luck returning this to the store after finding out piece are broken? Or is gamestop sticking with their, once its open, it can only be exchanged. But of course there are no new ones to exchange it with.

Well it technically doesnt even come wrapped in plastic or anything. It didnt even have those annoying circle pieces of tape that leave a residue or wrip the box when you try to remove them. It just comes in a box that has a slip case over it

Exactly.

Might see if I can get a refund myself; I imagine a lot of people will be trying to. What a piece of crap.
