It arrived!


Which is nice considering it’s not released till tomorrow. I managed to pick up the Game exclusive limited edition with the 12″ statue of Altair. Amusingly enough, there’s a little note saying “Includes Altair resin figurine” right next to the transparent plastic panel SHOWING the figure.

The description on the Game website did not mention the figure at all, the only hint that it WAS in the box was a small image and a high price. I emailed them asking, and got the reply:

As long as you have pre-ordered the collectors edition online you should receive the statue.

Then later i checked my account with them, and the product was listed as Unavailable. But it’s turned up now, a day early, and i am pleased.

Forgive the lousy photographs. This K850i isn’t exactly the exciting camera that i was looking forward to. If i can drag myself away from CoD4 tonight i’ll take some real photographs.

Update:

Well, i’m disappointed.
The Altair figure IS just the same one you can buy retails. There’s nothing special bundled with the game either. No music, art cards, developer interviews, nothing. Plus the box has the lovely “NOT FOR RESALE” branding that i do so enjoy seeing on my shelf.

I was expecting something on par with the Bioshock limited edition. Stunning, unique figure. Not something i could’ve just bought later. Depressing.
