I can't believe how crap quality the Rise of the Tomb Raider CE was.

Unfortunately it was not released in EU (actually I could import, but the price was ...)
Here's another one of my favorite CEs!
statue nailed everything but the face.

Never buy collectors editions.
Except from Nintendo, probably.

I've been pretty good about passing on CEs most times (especially ones with statues).
I did buy the ridiculous over the top Saints Row IV edition, though disappointment there was more with the game than the goodies. And the Milla figurine from Tales of Xillia actually looked quite good. I was pleasantly surprised with that one.

Yeah, but you had to buy Titanfall to get it.

Wow dude, I hope you get your money back. That is just abysmal quality. Scraping the bottom of the barrell does not cut it.

I tend to find that figures tend to not match the facial feature quality compared to statues, as I would assume there is more of a focus on the moving parts.
Personally, one of the most disappointing CEs was the Batman: Arkham Knight statue, as it just felt like a lazy model compared to Origins and City.
Boo this man.

The Bioshock C.E is still G.O.A.T IMO
the figure was awesome and it was only ten dollars more then the base price soundtrack was awesome aswell all around good c.e

You're referring to Infinite, correct? Man that songbird statue was awesome too.
The Titanfall CE was great too, the missus quite liked that statue, wanting it to be displayed in the lounge room rather than in my study.
No need sir, I can boo myself.
I actually bought Titanfall. I played it for like two weekends and then uninstalled it, haven't played it since that launch period.

That's so bad. Oh dear. Sorry to see op
Holy **** that is bad. Faux steelbook? The face on that statue is meme-fodder lol
I just can't....lol
I just can't....lol
The midtier version was quite nice as well. Loved that Crows vigor keychain. Snapped around a year later unfortunately.
Never bought a full blown CE with statue now I think about it- always settle for the $80-90 steelbook version with some other goodies. Always the way to go, especially if that version comes with an art book (Bloodborne, TLoU).

How dare you. Looks nothing like Best Girl Kate.
But seriously, that is a massive ripoff. I'm sorry you got screwed out of so much money on this POS, OP.
It doesn't look amazing compared to the promo, but not nearly as bad as the case of Max Payne 3.
The "concept" (which looked great):
And the real thing:
Cheaply made, poorly detailed PVC garbage. I've never bought another CE.
Overall this CE looks pretty decent, unless it's bad in-hand, it's hardly the worst.
Wow that's even worst than the OP. Talk about false advertising.
Basically this is a good rule to follow. Wait for impressions if it has a figure/statue that you do want.

Seeing stuff like this just makes me glad I'm not interested in the flood of CE statues we're being offered these days. I'd be absolutely furious if I ponied up extra money only to get shit on for it.
There are some amazing ones out there of course but, it really shouldn't be such a risk to buy a CE of a game like this.
But yeah, that really sucks OP, especially since the promo images look so amazing. Are you able to get a refund on something like this? I'm unsure of how retailers handle that if you're just unhappy with the quality of it.

Specifically talking about figures, in a general sense, you get what you pay for.
I've seen figures that look like people and are accurately detailed and cost in the hundreds, just for the figure. A mass produced figure to be sold as part of a game is never going to have that quality because the price just won't allow it.

The last CE that impressed me was Elder Scrolls Online - Imperial Edition
Came with a really detailed Molag Bal statue and this insanely in-depth lore book that somehow looks handcrafted even though I'm sure it's not.
Unfortunately I've stopped playing the game, but the statue looks great in my office at work!

And luckily there was a visor you can put on that covers it up
Such a cool figure.Other good CE would be the DS2 one with the knight statue. Big, sturdy and well sculpted and accurate to the in game model. Only downside was the base was like lava/rocky and just looked odd.

$150 and they're giving you a plastic necklace? Is this a goddamn video game and a cracker jacks box?

She looks like something created from one of those Japanese photobooths, only with shrunken eyes instead of overly large ones.

The Titanfall statue looks awesome.
That is the coolest collectors edition bonus I have ever seen. Hands down. I just went and looked on Amazon because that thing is so good I might want to get one. It's $140 for the 360 collectors edition (Don't care about the game.) That's almost worth it.
