oh man. going to sit on this until next year. and decide if i want to keep or not. because all i want is the game but i like to collect shit. pc is tempting but idk at right now. sucks for those that actually want it. lol ;P
What DLC?
There's one of those in Vince's office right now. No offense to the Rex, but the work in progress CE statue is already way cooler, imo. The Rex is very flimsy and feels... fake? Hard to describe. The quality of craftsmanship on the Titan diorama statue is literally the best I've ever seen. People complaining about the price - I don't think there's actually much profit in it, if any, for us. We're doing it because we wanted there to be a badass Titan statue for the hardcore fans and collectors out there.
Its in the works, as soon as the first one is finished
It's more solid than the Rex? Curious. You guys gonna do an unboxing for us?
Vince said EA was the ones that set the pricing, not Respawn. Contact them.

If you're going to shit on a ThreeA product, you're going to have to tell me who's doing your sculpt and what materials this is actually made from, because that right there is ridiculous.
(Rex is also articulated)
PS make sure you turn the hip joints correctly, they shipped turned 90 degrees to help compress the legs. This might be why it feels "flimsy"
(It's not flimsy)
The product isn't even complete yet, but here is the picture from Vince's twitter
fuck, looks pretty epic there. hopefully final one is high quality.

$250 for a CE. Most expensive CE ever? Still can't wrapped my head around the price.
nah, there are more expensive ones.

Game looks really fun, but I wouldn't say the artwork is anything particularly special...Very pricey, but maybe there's a drastic increase in level design that reveals itself in the final game.
hmm...

Uugh god dammit more statues. I don't have room for that shit. I love art books, soundtracks, making-of DVDs, but I've never been a toy collector. I don't like how they look on my shelves, and I'd much rather not own them to begin with. This is what stopped me from buying the Skyrim CE. I wish they would sell 3: Normal, Collector's Edition, Collector's Edition with Statue.

Just out of curiosity all of you complaining about the price point what do you think it should be priced at? Like what would be a fair price?
If the statue is high quality I think the price is fine.
$60 Game
$30-40 Artbook
$20 Poster
So $130 to $140 for a high quality 18'' statue honestly isn't that bad.

i was thinking $199 with the size of the statue. i would have accepted a $150 titan box that holds the game and content.

I think your inflating the price of the Artbook. I bought the really nice art books for Mcgee's Alice and Bioshock Infinite for around $20 off amazon and I'm not even sure if the titanfall one will be hardcover/coffe table style

Do you even get a season pass with that? SMH. An artbook, a poster, and a figurine are $190 now? Is the artbook printed on silk?
Just going off of what they have on Amazon. I rounded up to $30 because most things in CE's are overpriced according to their actual value. But yeah my $40 estimate was pushing it.
or Brazil...

It's hardcover with 190 pages. Looking on Amazon, video game art books that size retail for around $35. Before the Amazon discount at least.

No exclusive (or even timed exclusive) DLC. Not even any custom skins or badges to show off that you bought the CE.
Pretty weak showing for an online game.

I doubt that the Titanfall statue is going to be comparable in either materials used or sculpt quality to a $500 statue.
I don't think Respawn and EA know who their target audience are.
We're gamers not millionaires. Gaming companies already pushing it with $150 collector editions. But $250? That's so bull.
Even if they're making a $250 edition, why not make something more adorable for the rest of us?

It would have been more reasonable at $150. Max about $180.
The statue looks good but it doesn't look $250 good.
The entire bundle seems like a ripoff. Otherwise they could have packed and thrown in alot more stuff, but obviously the main thing there is the statue and thats why people will put $250 down.

Do we know who's making the statue? Is it A3 or some other reputable studio?
If so, pls at all the people expressing outrage. That statue would and should easily fetch 190USD on its own. I'm not even a statue guy and that comes across as totally reasonable to me.
If not, a lesser pls, 'cause there's always a markup/"video game tax" when it comes to these things.

Actually, I take it back. I didn't realize the statue had built in LEDs on the soldiers and mech. The entire package probably does round out to $250 so it is fair value. Especially with that artbook having 190 pages hardcover.
Its a great package but damn is it expensive. Probably going to go to those guys who can just waste that cash, as its something I wouldn't mind having but clearly its way too expensive for me when I have other priorities and like my other collectibles, it would just sit there.

I bought the Dead Space Ultimate Limited Edition for the 360 when it was a new IP. Cost $250, super limited and could only be bought from the EA stores. I sold it a few months back online for $700. It was one of the worst limited editions I ever bought, it came with a signed lithograph, 3D glasses / art book, anime cd. The extra $450 I made from it was totally worth it though.
No, but my point was you can pay lots of a collectible.

Fuck it. I'm placing a preorder for the CE on Amazon. I can always cancel it later.
I need that statue...
