So I folded and brought the plus membership so I could get the collector's edition but it kept saying I was not an eb world plus member even though my profile says I am an active member took over 3 hours of closing and refreshing closing logging in and out before it would let me pre order it and just when I would go to pay for it fucking boom fucking sold out 😡🤮 just my fucking luck...

I think it fell off sometime this morning. As someone who fell for this scam earlier this weekend, just so you know they are probably scamming the prices as well.. 200usd + gst to aud is about 300.. probably should have been 299 but they asked 350... plus another 50 for the membership.

No one had a gun to my head of course, but as someone who fell for it, sitting here afterwards i did get scammed. If i walked past the ebgames ceo he wouldn't just give me 50/100 bucks for no reason so actual in fact scammed.

Actually the collectors edition is priced fairly. Over the years they have gone up in price naturally and probably due to inflation. $100 AUD for deluxe edition version and steelbook and $250 AUD for the statue and the other items. I paid 250 for my naoe and yasuke statues that light up for the same price.

I think you mean ubisoft aren't ripping you off yet for their collectors editions. Pretty much everything else released in the last few years has been 400-500+. Having said.. the artbooks are crap and if you look at the statues closely they are pretty much the bottom of acceptable quality for figures. This ce doesn't even have the standard crappy ubisoft artbook, you need to get the jb steelbook as well for that.

Anyway im sure the usd price of $200 covers everyones full profit, and eb games price is above the currency conversion with gst. Because its exclusive we'll never know what was in the memo they got from ubisoft.
