Is it worth contacting them since it was overseas shipping?
Wow... that sucks... Why would they pack it like that??? It baffles me.

You totally should...

Anyway, here's the packaging... I'll post some pics of the guide when I actually get to open it up!

YAY! Looking forward to this coming. Fingers crossed it won't be long before mine shows up. Amazon haven't charged me yet though... Also do you have any comparison pics for size? It looks like it's gonna be massive! >.<

They pack it like that because they're morons!! >.< We get the same treatment sometimes in the UK. Their customer services have had a right moaning at from me about it before. I've told them that it is inadequate packaging for limited edition games, but they still do it. International customers get it worse as GAME always skimps in packaging for international customers to keep the shipping cost down. I personally advise anybody who wants to order internationally from GAME to ask a UK member to forward for you instead and save yourself the headache.

While we're on the subject of shitty pack jobs, I wasn't best pleased with how treehouse stores packaged my Dragon Age art book, so they have an email incoming too...

You guys know the inner packaging isn't done by Amazon, right? I got a huge box with the box knight posted in side it... The huge box is the excellent work of Amazon's

Did you read the quote you quoted? Yeah, it was definitely done by Prima - and so was the Zelda Boxset (as I mentioned), both came very well packaged so PRIMA get's two thumbs up, not Amazon. At least your amazon sent the Prima box in another box, mine just sent it as it was with the label and descripton of what it is on the box and everything.

I'm sure I saw Amazon in your post somewhere

Maybe I was reading your post with my eyes closed

Still a nice box with great content that will never see the light of day

Do you ever have urges or dreams (or maybe nightmares?) about just one day going all crazy-like and opening all your CEs to play with all the trinkets and bobbles and such??

Oh, and more importantly, nice pick-up!

Nope, I have never had such a dream. It makes me happy to just look at all my nicely arranged boxes, well knowing that their content is still "virginally"

Oh, and thanks
