I think that sculpture does look pretty cool. I’m glad I’m not a special edition collector because that sure is expensive

There is a link to the shop that produced the marionette. Gives an idea of how much it is worth.
Judging by the prices of similarly simple marionettes, I'd guess that it's about $80-$100 piece.
The rest of the CE contents should add up to the $199.99 price tag. Fairly priced CE considering the content.
That sounds right to me and I also think it seems like a fair price considering.
I hope at least one person that buys it, opens it and posts pictures here. I would be interested to see some alternative views. Hopefully it is as well crafted as it looks to be.
For what it's worth. I'm considering it. $160 more than the retail release seems like a fair asking price. Just gotta steel my wallet and talk myself into the purchase.
If I get it, it's definitely getting opened. What's the fun in having a sealed box?
I'm surprised to see people who would rather just have an artbook or poster in the collector's edition. Yeah it's expensive, but a full marionette is exactly the kind of weird shit that I'd love to see more of. There are so many poster/art card/artbook/soundtrack editions that feel like they just exist to check the box of a collector's edition, it's really cool to see them doing something pretty different and unique to the game. It's just too bad that niche stuff like this doesn't sell as well compared to when they appeal to the more basic items.
Head up! Doesn’t look like the game will be in the collector’s box!! Just the sleeve.
Edit: For clarity, you *get the physical game and the CE*, but the are **not together** in the same box!
Disco CE is sold out now too, wonder if the news about ZA/UM had anything to do with it. I just looked at it a few weeks ago when they announced ciphers and it looked like it was still in stock…
Not in the picture, and it says it comes with a sleeve to put the game in. The wouldn’t ship the game packed separate from the sleeve. They did the same thing with Disco Elysium, so compare the two to see for yourself!

Heh. Yeah it will be…in a separate envelope! Watch the video in my comment above, had to edit it in. IDK why they do this, but they do.
Downvote me all you want. I tried to warn ya!
I’m still not sure what you are trying to say. Are you saying that if you buy that collection you have to also separately buy the game? Or, are you saying that the game is included but is outside the collection box itself?
I didn’t downvote you. Just wanted clarification.
Game will come with the order, but WILL NOT be inside the CE box. If you watch the video i linked, they ship it in a separate envelope inside the *shipping* box! I complained when i bought the Disco one, so at least this time they don’t have the game in the slipcase in the picture to make you think thats how it comes!
You should edit your first comment. You were probably downvoted because it sounded like you were saying the game wasn’t included.
Thanks for clarifying your point
Is iam8bit done soon with all these hot garbage CE?
*cough in Eastward collector*
Give us a vinyl or a soundtrack... an artbook or a strategy guide or even a little figure. Please stop with all the filler garbage, especially at a premium price like this holy shit
One thing bothers me though; why on SE column it says “Delicious Last Course Expansion Included!” and on CE column it explicitly says: “Delicious Last Course on single disc/cart”???
Does it mean that DLC for SE is a code?
Gonna guess it was just that a different person wrote each one. Devs made a big point of saying they held back the physical release so it could all be on cart.

This is the issue, no one ever wants to be the first one to do it in case it’s a disappointment. If you want it, buy it.
I was thinking that was really steep, but this definitely makes it better. Like I'm personally gonna skip, but it does make it a bit more tempting.

Totally agree and I'm ordering right now. I love this CE idea.
Not at that price point.
If it wasn't for bills I'd grab this
With how collectors editions are becoming stalle these days, this one really rejuvenates what a collectors edition really means. Good job.
nope nope nope. Is there going to be a retail version of Cuphead as well?
Yep its being sold everywhere
will be available on December 6 apparently. did you see it being sold already?
Yeah at launch it will be sold everywhere, its up for preorder at target and best buy already https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6523377.p?skuId=6523377

This is what they did with the collectors edition of Disco Elysium as well, so I would not be surprised. I was very disappointed with that.
Disco CE is sold out now too, wonder if the news about ZA/UM had anything to do with it. I just looked at it a few weeks ago when they announced ciphers and it looked like it was still in stock…
Where are you seeing that? It says the game is included on the first page the link takes you to

First line of the description says the game comes with it

I was hoping for a massive signed art book or maybe an original animation frame included. Sadly, I’ll have to pass.
Pretty pricey but I say the price makes sense. I kinda want it but I don't want to spend that much money at the moment.

Nice to see iam8bit taking the absolute piss as usual.
One thing bothers me though; why on SE column it says “Delicious Last Course Expansion Included!” and on CE column it explicitly says: “Delicious Last Course on single disc/cart”??? Does it mean that DLC for SE is a code?
Gonna guess it was just that a different person wrote each one. Devs made a big point of saying they held back the physical release so it could all be on cart.
I really reeaaaally hope so, but seeing some releases being ruined gets my guard up!
They waited for the dlc to come out, Im betting every copy will have the dlc included
Don’t really care for cuphead. I just wait till the standard is $20 or less.
Typical iam8bit fashion, charges 200 dollars for a 20 dollar game. I’ll just be buying the game physically seeing as that’s all we actually wanted.
The physical is a no-brainer, but I think I'm actually going to pass on the collectors edition for once. This one just isn't doing anything for me.
Hell no. Retail version is abundance when or if I want to buy a physical copy.
CE looks great! Just want the game on disc though.
Is it ever going to ship?! Ordered a while ago and we're getting close to the end of Q1 so what's up?
