The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The face is sort of....derp if that makes sense. It doesn't really take away from it tho in my opinion

Thankfully I haven't had any issues with my CE. ^^ However due to the incompetence GAME UK Online distribution, they have ruined the metallic sleeve that came with my PC pre-order... Have returned the GAME to store after going mad about the sleeve which they done have any replacements for...

The sleeve was stuffed in a Jiffybag along with game and needless to say it's in a pretty sorry state. Not impressed. Especially since I only bought the PC version for this sleeve... Glad I didn't do a GB for this as I would have been well fucked off!!!

Same here, I thought I'd missed out on the sleeve because it just felt like a normal Jiffy and almost ripped it whilst tearing open the bag!
It's got a fair few creases like yours, don't know what they were thinking, I suppose at least they didn't just fold it.
Also, not saying it absolves them at all, but I am glad to at least have got one, was quite worried I'd missed out.
Have you seen the price they're listed at on eBay? It's mental.
Any idea where it says they're limited to 3000? I've seen that said a few times but I've not found anything to back it up.

It's not perfect by any means, but if it helps at all, on mine (PS4) the track listing was on the disc too.


It's nice overall though, the statue is a tad less detailed than the shots I'd seen beforehand but its still good and I didn't think it'd match up to them anyway.
Still a bit disappointed at them giving MS physical exclusives, not for any biased fan way, more in the way that it was sad to see such a supposedly principled company side with a company that, at one point at least, was their polar opposite in what they claim to hold dear about DRM-free and all that.

Won't get to open mine til later, but will keep you aprised.

Also, Cosmic, that stinks! I guess I'm glad I didn't preorder one (though I'm still very tempted since they are #'d!!).

I believe all the boxes are signed (well, printed with the signatures).

My copy arrived today! Thank you, Knight!

My statue's face isn't too derby. Way better than what I have seen on here. His eyes are a bit of a painted mess, though. No big deal. A piece did break in the packaging, but I can't figure out where it goes! I think it came off the exposed shoe, but I have no idea. Help would be appreciated!

Makes me wanna open mine and see if anything is broken! Glad you got it though bud, and glad there wasn't any serious damage at all!

If I had to wager a guess I'd say that might be a piece to the medallion on his chest? Possibly also the sword on his back? If not, maybe you're right about the shoe? I'll take a look at mine later tonight and let you know if you don't get an answer!

Edit: Also you could check out Matt's unboxing vid above starting at around 8:32 or so he zooms in on the statue for quite awhile, maybe you could see something on there!

I was really worried about it because there is a USPS sticker on the outside that basically says "sorry for the damage." The shipping box appeared to be in near perfect condition, so I have no idea what that sticker referred to. The CE box itself has a bit of damage because Amazon sucks at packing stuff (giant box, no padding whatsoever so the entire CE box can slide around a lot), but I don't care too much about that.

The medallion looks intact and the piece appears to stick out of something, not lay flat against it. At first, I thought it was part of the sword hilt, but it doesn't appear to be.

EDIT: Thanks for the video tip, it is definitely the spur or whatever it is on the boot. Not sure how I am going to get it back in there. Might just leave it off. Anyone with suggestions for a type of glue? I don't want a melted mess attempting the repair with superglue.

It's actually his spur on the back of his boot from the picture you posted.
If you look at your pic, there's a silver band around his heel, it's supposed to be on the back of it and alignment-wise, with the point (slightly longer edge) at the top near his calf and the shorter end at his foot. (I think the leg he has over the back of the griffin shows which way to further confirm it.)

EDIT: Ninja'd and just spotted you noticed it's the spur. (For some reason I can't delete this post though.)
