Cube Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Why do so many collector's editions these days have stupid, expensive statues?

Cube Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 ... What I mean is there are often lots of other great things in CE's (that aren't in the special edition), but the addition of a statue bumps the price up significantly. For example the belt buckle/ring from the Uncharted 3 look really good, but the addition of the statue bumps the price up massively. Similar stories for Gears of War 3 and The Old Republic.
Aneres11 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I totally agree. I am with you in that some collectors editions are really worth having, even if you're not a fan of the franchise. I'm sure Forza 3 offered a cool keyring with theirs - it tempted me but I never bought it. I am not a fan of statues, but know some who are. I would rather some cool in-game extras and a nice tin case personally ha.

I know some people who would like this!! I'm quite tempted depending on the price obvs. : peace: You would be thinking me then! :p Why do so many collector's editions these days have stupid, expensive statues? Because there are people which like figurines/statues? And providing they are made well, cost more for the company to make than other items seen in special editions (companies are in it to make money at the end of the day). However they are not for everyones tastes so it i can see how it would be annoying for people which didn't like them. What I mean is there are often lots of other great things in CE's (that aren't in the special edition), but the addition of a statue bumps the price up significantly. For example the belt buckle/ring from the Uncharted 3 look really good, but the addition of the statue bumps the price up massively. Similar stories for Gears of War 3 and The Old Republic. The gears of war 3 statue works out at around £40, not that much more expensive than others i have seen/bought from model shops and in some cases cheaper! I have seen models at the trafford centre which cost hundreds! (although i'm pretty sure they have better detail etc and better made! :p). One of my star trek Enterprise models cost about £40. Anther point on the gears one is that they are doing the one with a statue as a seperate one, so at least if u were interested in the other stuff but not the statue you could just get the special edition rather than the epic and save the £40. I like the look of this edition, very tempted but will wait to hear on a price! Edited July 20, 2011 by Mike1988uk

If it was just the statue that was only in the most expensive version then I would have no problems with it at all.
LegoMan1031 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 If it was just the statue that was only in the most expensive version then I would have no problems with it at all. Yep i would agree with that. Gives people a choice then if they are interested in statues or not. But in this case, it doesn't look like that is happening. Epic have got it spot on imo in terms of the three versions of the game that they offer with only adding a statue to the premium one.
Cube Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Epic have got it spot on imo in terms of the three versions of the game that they offer with only adding a statue to the premium one. And a fancy hardback artbook.
LegoMan1031 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) And a fancy hardback artbook. Ah. Lol. Never noticed that, i really did just think that it was the statue in the epic editon as extra... Well that makes the statue sound a bit cheaper in my head now. I take back certain wordings in previous posts then! "epic almost had it spot on" Edited July 20, 2011 by Mike1988uk
LegoMan1031 Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) Just seen this come up on their site.... ShopTo are selling the collectors edition for £59.86!!! For that price i consider it worth the money and is getting a pre-order! 360 Version PS3 Version I don't know if any other sites will be selling it. EDIT: Although re-looking at the picture i can't see a game case..... I can only see what looks like a cardboard sleeve!!! Which sucks balls, i want a proper case to go on my shelf! Hmm, now i don't know what to do... Edited July 24, 2011 by Mike1988uk
LegoMan1031 Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Oh the woes of a middle-class white boy Oh it's a hard old life.
Happenstance Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Batman Beyond, Dark Knight, Earth One and Animated series skins for Arkham City
Happenstance Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 They will be yes. Although im betting it'll be retailer specific and then DLC later.
LegoMan1031 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 ShopTo are offering the blue cape version for free with their pre-orders.
Dan_Dare Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 They should've done a Tim Burton one as well. I'd argue it's really lacking Bat-Nipples:awesome:
Happenstance Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 I think i'll be looking out for the Earth One version, maybe the animated series one.
