Awesome. I would have to say that is one of the best looking $150.00 well spent on a collectors edition. I'm tired of the CE that have been coming out lately that have been screwing over the consumer with 80 to 100 dollars worth of items/content at $150.00.
I can't wait till mine arrives.

We have any MMORPG people able to figure out what the heck is going on with the US CE/no grace period fiasco? I'm watching the TOR forums explode (RIGHT before they lock them down and do a forum wipe)...

Hm.. $100 in a $150 box.. aint that just..sales ? even your meat you buy at the super market works that way, its $5meat $2 packing and is sold for $10
Anyway, this CE is worth asmutch as soemone is willing to pay. simply deu to it falling under the "collectors" section. art,music,books,statue's whatever you collect its prizeless for the owner.
I don't think all that crap was worth 150 bucks, maybe 85 but definetely not 150. Glad I resisted the urge and just bought the DDE.
the statue alone is 80 dollars on gentle giant..... the security token is another 10-15 dollars. tada, you just paid for the CE. it is actually a decent value compared to other CEs.
take the gears of war 3 CE. the statue is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, however the rest is utter crap. i dont regret getting it for the statue alone, but it was NOT worth 150 dollars.
But wow man awesome job, I cant even get my game code , much less the game, shame only gamestop has the game in Canada
Nice to see you got your game and cool stuff, Cant wait till mine gets in, in about ohhh 15 days or so.
Actually, many places in Canada are going to carry the game, Gamestop/EB Games, Futureshop, Best Buy, just to name a few. The funny thing is, I order my collector's edition two days ago from Microplay (not very well known gaming shop), and they said I was the first one to preorder the collector's edition there, they still had 7 left!
Ganking? Me!? That's absurd!! I leave THAT to the lawyers!

First off grats to the person who got their box already.
Second off I know I'm not MikeB (tho ironic as it is.. I am "a" Mike B..) but anyway...
I saw in one of the Sticky threads at the official site DDE buyers would get their codes on the 16th. That's the only mention I've really seen a BioWare employee make. I thought that was a bit odd because pre-orders don't get billed until they ship. Ok obviously the digital editions don't get shipped but companies tend to do stuff for a reason. So one could ponder around then is when the physical copies will ship.
Going with this no grace period concept just seems like a very bad idea.
It would seem the probability of quite a few people getting locked out in that scenario is high. It doesn't matter if they got some days in early etc... there is just no way that it would be a good idea to start the official launch of your product like that.
Normally boxes ship a bit early.. when I don't go digital I always pay for one day... but with a weekend there and the Murphy factor it makes one ponder...
I would imagine down to the wire they will change their mind on the grace period... seen it happen with other games. Just don't think it would work out well for them to piss that many people off at the start.
(just my opinions)
Oh and again grats to at least one person who won't get locked out ;p lol
yes.... YEEESSSSSSSSSSS LET THE SNOOTY BEHAVIOR OVER CE MEMBERSHIP BEGIN!!! BWWWAHAHAHA
the lesser players wll be green with envy over the wonderful bonuses CE buyers get..... it will be........ GLORIOUS.HA-HA-HAAAAA. i cant wait to lord my VIP lounge access over the unfortunate lower class that have to scrimp and save just to get access!!!
Ok well when i said the only place to get the CE in Canada is Gamestop I meant over the SWTOR website for pre order, its the only option so i took it when I ordered it in July

As I've said before...the statue alone is almost worth the price.
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/search.aspx?search=gentle+giant
they said that EU boxes would ship earlier than NA but i thought it was to start shipping on the 15th for EU and 20th for NA
not sure why its ok to send boxes out early in EU but not NA. one of the dumbest decisions made by EA concerning swtor yet.
lucky for me im in the UK
IN AMAZON I TRUST!!!!!!!!!!
Part that cracks me up is all the people that say they intend to sell just the CE statue in a year for $150-200.
Like anyone in their right mind is going to pay $150 for that cheap lil pos statue.
Same here..cheap screens a CE is almost worth about the same hahaha..(wel here that s, not sure about prizes in the us)

Your forgetting a few things.
Its a Gentle Giant statue, which are very high quality.
Also, its Star wars, people have paid much more for much less.
Lol this is not a thread on CE :-p

Seriously. 150 is a shameless rip off.

It probably involved the use of mouth wash.
Asking Devs to make AAA sandbox titles is like trying to get fine dining on a McDonalds dollar menu budget.
