Skyrim Collector's Edition Unveiled: Commence "luls" in 3...2...1...

For the low, low price of $150, you too can own a Dragon Statue made of "high quality PVC", an artbook, "making of" DVD, and of course, the game! Hot dog!

:lol:

And for those unfamliar with the material, PVC is plastic. Yes, a plastic dragon. Wonder how much it cost to build versus how much they're selling it for.

Quick synopsis:
Game + 12" Statue + 200-page artbook + Making-of DVD = $150

The statue looks awesome. You know most items of this kind are made of plastic, right? It's a great CE.

I wold love to buy the collectors edition but 150$ is way too steep :?

Seems like a relatively similar package to The Witcher 2 and The Old Republic which also ran a similar price tag so I don't know, seems par for the course. Dragon does look cool though, just not $150 cool for me.

What a last minute throw together. Give us some in game stuff, weapons, armor horse etc. I was going to get it but I think i'll pre order the regular version on steam.

150$?? not worth it

Yeah, 150 for a buncha plastic seems pretty damn rediculous.

I'm just saying I prefer in game items, a cool mount that non CE people can't have that moves very fast would of been nice. A special house/tower/cave etc. for a home. $150.00? no thanks...

Maybe if the dragon was not plastic.

Artbook looks very nice though.

Base game is $60 already. I hope the art book is made separate...

everything else was fine, just the broken statue.

I agree, the statue looks very high qaulity. I can almost garuntee my friend it going to get this, but I'm saving my money for the ME3 CE.

The dragons mouth reminds me of a horse whinnying. Dragons evolved into horses confirmed.

The artbook looks cool, but I wouldn't pay $150 for that CE. I'll have to pass on this one.

hmm... pay an extra $90 (!!!) for a dragon statuette, making of DVD and an artbook, or save that extra money for the inevitable DLC, or another game or 2 with cash to spare? Such a hard decision... What a worthless CE. :roll:

I'd probably do it for $100, but its just too much. Everything looks really cool, though, but still nothing has beaten the Berlin Wall one (that was in a collector's edition of something, or am I just crazy?)

I'd sooner carve my own PVC pipe dragon

The thing is, I've seen CEs with similar packaging and items that go for about $80-90 usd. My suspicion is that the marketing department at Bethesda know how excited/anxious so many people are for a new TES game; it's been about five years, so the anticipation is pretty significant. I think they're jacking the price up because they know a lot of people will still buy the CE, even though it's way overpriced for the items included.

150 is retarded but you know theres tons of morons with way too much cash that will buy it.

What the...

Well I was going to get the Collector's Edition but it never occurred to me that it could be so expensive. the Oblivion one was $60 or $70...

Peasant edition here I come :P

Well, if I didn't spend this kind of cash on the special limited coffin edition of Metallica's Death Magnetic album, then I'm definitely not going to spend this kind of cash on a game. Any game.

I fear this is a new trend with gaming company. Along with SW:TOR and pontentially Dues Ex charging $150 and using the figurine to justify such a price

999realthings

150$?? Better put that money away, wait for Steam Winter sale and buy a few dozen games. Maybe even get Skyrim with a 10%-15% discount.

I think for $150 or whatever it should include a soundtrack cd and a guide book of some sort for the game.

DeViLzzz

OSTs are also a rip off, because in every game I've bought, there's a way to convert the soundtrack files and burn them to cds. OSTs used as a selling point are just another marketing gimmick. If you've already purchased the game, the music is included. It shouldn't be an extra cost.

I don't know, in-game items seem less practical in a Bethesda game than they do in say, ToR. With the toolset there will already be a plethora of unique content crafted to a wide variety of tastes plus any bonus content could be recreated with relative ease and released under a different name to avoid any conflicts with Bethesda. Not giving a couple of in-game items seems far less necessary here.

I'm just saying I prefer in game items, a cool mount that non CE people can't have that moves very fast would of been nice. A special house/tower/cave etc. for a home. $150.00? no thanks...

A cool in-game mount or items would work for a MMO but not for a highly modded(which it would be) game like Skyrim.

You may not care for mods but I think thats a reason Beth is not doing that coz they know its going to be laughed at by its fans. The special in-game mount would not be exclusive if they know fans can actually recreate it or even do it better and more creatively with the toolset. People already made super grand castles and mansions and what not in Morrowind and Oblivion, such things won't impress many of its current fans and might just likely pissed off even new ones once they discovered how moddable the game is.

Personally, though, the only reason I'm buying any CE would be the making of DVDs and concept books. Thats always nice...but not for 150.

Would you prefer them to make the statue out of solid stone? It is actually ridiculously expensive to produce a mould for a plastic model and to produce the machines to paint it that way. Sure they're still making a killer profit, but the material's cheapness shouldn't be your concern.

I would never pay 150 for something like that, but obviously people will so they may as well put something cool in there for those that do.

These are never worth it.

Seems alright... for $80. $150 is insane. Collector's editions are one thing big PC devs could take from Bungie, those guys know how to make an AWESOME Legendary Edition.
