$150.00 is extreme for what is offered. There isn't even in-game items with it, and if there was it is still too much. this collectors edition will be readily available at a lower price after a month. I rather drop some change on the regular game and the strategy guide. Beyond that junk food, for the serious attention skyrim will get.

might i add 150 is a steep price in a failing economy money is tight these days. i love elder scrolls but 150 can be used on something else

Well!!!

When they're going to charge a whooping $150 for it, then I think it's actually nice that it *doesn't* come with any in-game items. That makes it completely optional since you won't end up feeling compelled to buy it because of some in-game bonus trinket.

I really don't have a need for those items and I'd rather spend the cash on some actual tabletop roleplaying books or Warhammer miniatures which have more use to me (and those color books and little plastic miniatures are pretty expensive btw.) than a 'flip through twice' artbook and dust collecting statue that will pale in comparison to my carefully painted Warhammer miniatures.

@ the last paragraph:

How can any Human not find this insane? Try asking...oh I dunno, every single figure/toy collector out there?

Ever heard of a company called Hot Toys? No? Well their stuff runs for $150 minimum. They're 1:6 figures, so they're about 12" tall. People buy their stuff up no problem (

How about Max Factory, Good Smile Company, Bandai, Kotobukiya, and tons more?

If you're gonna buy a CE with a statue/figure, you can't just see it from one perspective, you have to see it from others. For the regular average joe gamer, yes, dropping $150 on a game is a lot. Then again, the regular average joe gamer buys just the game, so he doesn't even have to spend that much anyway. You'd have to look at it from a perspective of a collector. If you were interested in a CE that has a statue/figure like this, you then would have to compare the price of other statues/figures. Do I want the statue? How much is the price of the CE compared to the regular edition? Is the price gap worth it for what it comes with?

$60 game, $30 art book, $70 statue that is 12" tall. for $70, that's a pretty good price, when statues half this size run for almost double.

It is overpriced, but for people who love Elder Scrolls, it's worth it.

Hell, if any Valve game had a made-by-Valve collectors edition, I would buy it no matter the price.

This will not sell, it is gonna get a price cut probablyreally fast. Not to long ago i got the Mortal Kombat Kollectors edition for $50.

maybe through in the first expansion/dlc for free like a code or something and maybe that will look a little better.

After Microsoft made Halo 3 and Reach famous with $150 edition, other publishers are joining the party trying to milk the fans.

They know there will be enough fans who are willing to spend $150 for the CE. If they made too many CE, there will be plenty of unsold sets around. Just want for a few months for the price to drop. Learn to be patience if you don't want to waste your money.
