    Ghost Recon Wildlands collectors edition is also pretty cheap.

    • Cheaper than the Gold Edition…

  • That's pretty cheap, nice find.

    Awesome! Been hanging out to play GOW4… nice to get the CE.

    I want the Nomad, but I already have ME:A on pc and I'm sad to say it's not terribly enjoyable, which is a shame because i loved the $hit out of the previous 3 ME games. That said, the Nomad collectible did actually seem pretty sweet when I saw it in store, and it's a pretty big bit of kit too. Well worth $68 but I wouldn't pay much more for it

    • I have it on pc too. Played abit in launch and saw how bad the facial animation was and stopped until they finish patching it up before I continue it again.

      Gonna grab the nomad and sell the game off haha

        I want to do that too, but I just spent way too much money recently on Dreamcast stuff… the wifey would kill me if I brought another toy home!

          that is when you either:

          A) Question her expenses.

          Or

          B) Buy her something to distract her from your expenses.

        • +4

          @Velathial: B. Always B. It's how I do it and avoid the arguments from A.

        • +1

          @Clear: The good ol' "look over there" strategy. 80% of the time, it works all the time. xD

        • @Velathial: Seems accurate. Didn't work on the new TV.

        • @Velathial: A) will never work for me - my wife is so frugal that I have to force her to buy new clothes for herself!

        • @nytrojen: My Ex was similar. Would ask if she can buy something, but i wouldn't say frugal, just needed my permission, never had to hide my gaming expenses as we both enjoyed them.

        • +1

          @Velathial: My wife hates video games. We will never see eye to eye on those things. She's also completely non-materialistic, which is a good thing, but it means she'll never understand my love for everything Dreamcast related :(

        • @nytrojen: yeah, i really want to expand my dreamcast collection, but i plan to move to japan after my studies are done so i might hold off.

          I currently happy with my mint complete in box Skies of arcadia and Shenmue 1&2 (which i still have to actually beat).

        • @Velathial: Jealous! The prices for boxed copies of Shenmue on eBay is ridiculous! Hold onto those for as long as you can!

          I just wish I could've gotten my hands on a Divers 2000 before they became well known

        • @nytrojen:

          Yeah, i paid about $300 for the 2 with box's. In my mind that was worth it, as the game is only gonna go up in value, especially with Shenmue 3 coming out.

        • @Velathial: nice man. Good luck with studies and heading to Japan! I'd love to spend a year or two in Japan, just buying Dreamcast stuff and checking out the car scene

        • @nytrojen: Yeah cant say i saw many good looking cars, but did enjoy seeing all the anime designed decals.

          Yeah, hard to resist the mountains and mountains of retro gaming items, was tempted getting a virtual boy with the entire library of games xD

  • It's cheap, but I don't need the tat. Can they offer a killer price on the game alone?

    • I dont know why you got downvotes…

      • Some people like toy cars. Others just want a good bargain on the thing that matters (i.e. the game).

        Downvote if you agree.

        • Pretty sure you can buy it, take the game and sell the rest for $68 back on ebay/gumtree

        • @Letrico: I am gonna do exactly the opposite. Keep the statue and sell the game

        • @Dienk: High 5 doing the same. Already have the digital deluxe on Origin so no point having another copy.

  • Nice loot, good buy!

  • Not to be that guy, but anyone else find it odd that they say "strictly 1 per customer" etc, but then 1 years or so (half a year, 2 years etc) they still have the "collector" ones? E.g Halo 5 LCE ($250 or so one) was being sold by MS Ebay store a month or so back for $50!! They make a ton of these things these days, not worth the buy anymore at launch.

    • Yeap. It totally depends what collectors edition and who made them. Microsoft/Ubisoft/EA usually make shit tons of them and they go clearance all the time. Only a few proper ones are worth it.

  • +1

    The RC edition is still $248. I'll wait for that one to go sub $100 thanks! Good deal for a diecast model if you don't already have the game though I suppose.

    The Gears 4 one was originally $300 at launch haha! Clearing out at $68 is a joke, I feel bad for anyone that paid over $200 for this.

    • Gears of war one worth $68?

      What's the trade value or re sale value of the game

      • I'm not really a fan of that bike figurine and already own a digital play anywhere copy so I'm not gonna spend another $68. Trade/resell would be droping a fair bit now. Probably $15/30?

        • +1

          I have it digitally too
          So yer I'm not gonna do it seeing the statue sells for $50 in ebay

  • How salty would you be if you paid full price for this? Game has only been out 6 months no?

    • Games these days always drop in price drastically after a few months. How can you be surprised? Everybody knows this.

      • And this one in particular was waaaaaaay overpriced. They don't even give you any extra singleplayer missions or characters like the previous bioware titles.

    • +1

      not salty, but surprised.
      It seems the bigger CE's lately are not shipping as fast as they used to.

      CE's like Persona 5, Fire emblem and so on seem to be in much higher demand due to the fact they dont take up much space (being a Art book, plush/pins and audio tracks).

      I have the GoW4 CE no regrets as i love the series.

      • +1

        I think the issue is costs have gone up. I remember when Halo 3's was something like $150 or $199 and at the time that seemed very expensive. We're now getting a whole lot hitting close to the $300 mark, which in the case of the Xbox is more than the console goes for (possibly bundled with the same game too in some cases).

        The upcoming Assassins Creed has a particularly nuts one at over $1k from Ubisoft direct.

        They must make money on it to warrant it, but prices have gone a bit nuts. Can't imagine retailers love it too given these units take up a lot of room. One EB the other day mentioned they'd told someone who had a special order of one of these that they'd give them 2 days to pickup but they otherwise couldn't spare them the room in the store to have the item sitting there waiting for delivery.

        • This is true also, but i would say space would also be a big (if not bigger factor than cost) factor on this larger CE's.

  • +1

    That's a purchase from me. I'm a sucker for collectors editions and I hadn't bought Andromeda as yet.

    • Wait for the RC edition to drop man

      • The RC version is currently sold on their eBay store for $198.4 + $4.95 postage with code PLAYING. And additional 1.3% if you use CashRewards.

        • Yeah I'll wait for at least another $50 off of that.

    • Same, I have way too many. Just picked up the WatchDogs2 SF edition yesterday and now this. Still considering the GRW CE, but that doesn't seem to be selling fast.

  • The game was junk. That's the problem

    • Which game ? I ubderstand me andromeda, but gow4 is pretty good + if you got decent hdr tv its really enjoyable.

  • Nice post - just bought the nomad for the diecast - I don't have an xbox one yet :D

  • These are in a few scattered stores in single units, get it now if you want it.

  • The RC version is currently sold on their eBay store for $198.4 + $4.95 postage with code PLAYING. And additional 1.3% if you use CashRewards.

  • If only i had not bought gow4 during eofy :-/ great find op. Cheers

  • At the end of the day, these CEs with included statues occupy too much floor/store room space which is a valuable commodity in retail.

    Clearing them out to make room for new stock is more cost effective than holding it on the floor and no one buying.

    Good deal if you're into CEs and have lots of room at home.

  • Oooh, cheap collector's editions!

    *Looks at shelf space

    Maybe not.

    • It is hugeeee =)

    Thanks OP, brought it from my local EB Games store just for the Nomad diecast model. Already finished the game on the PC so I will probably sell the PS4 copy. Just took some photos of it as well:

    • Nice shots! Shame the wheels look cheap in my opinion.

  • Did any of you buy the CoD Modern Warfare 2 Night Vision Goggles CE?

  • I bought GOW4. The box was massive lol

  • $29 postage…

  • Bought the second-last Victorian copy of the Gears of War 4 Collector's Edition today.

    Man, big box is big.
