If I was to buy the EVE collectors box after it's ship date, would I still receive all the goodies everyone else does or do I miss out on some stuffs?

Checked google and forums for any threads, found nothing.

You don't get the pre-order stuff. Which is implied by it being pre-order stuff.

It's listed right there on the page.

you get the collector's edition stuff (Hættuspil*, Rifter, book, etc), but not the preorder stuff (mystery code, Nefantir Thrasher, etc) unless you purchase the "preorder stuff" as well (I think it's an extra $50, but might only include the DUST/EVE ingame items [ Thrasher, Dropsuits, gold pod, etc] rather than "everything" that came in the preorder)


* aka "The Danger Game"

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Such a shame this wasn't purchasable with PLEX.

Although I guess then we'd see PLEX in the billions.

But I'd have bought a few hundred CEs.

So to make sure I understand this correctly...
They are selling the Pre-order certificate and all the codes(Including the Code that will allow you access to special promos later on) for 50$. Essentially all the digital stuff. It also contains a 50$ off coupon I can use to purchase all the physical items after Oct 24.

So I essentially gain all the benefits of preordering a Collectors edition without having to slam all 150$ down at once?
I know it's simple stuff but I want to make sure. There's always the fine print/details...

Mystery code is part of the $150 set, not part of the $50 promopack.

No, the "Preorder goodies" code for $50 gets you the Genolution implants, a Thrasher, DUST Amarr Uplink, Arm Tattoos, and $50 towards the Collector's Edition (containing Hættuspil/Danger Game, Rifter USB Hub, Book, Orchestra CD, 3 Templar Suits + Amarr guns (for DUST), Collector clothes, Gold Pod, Gnosis BPC ... some of which might be preorder only, can't tell since it's not in the desc).

As far as I can tell - you will not get the mystery code (which as of right now gets you a PLEX, Cybernetic arm, and the EVE: Valkyrie ship) unless you preorder.

And I can only obtain that code by pre-ordering?
So as it stands the only way to recieve the mystery code is to preorder the whole set before its release day.

Clicked thread thinking title read "burying," thinking OP was making this into a time capsule. Since I'm here, has anyone thought of that? We can all open them in 10 years and see if our mystery codes still work. Then we can sell that plex for 10 billion isk, while we remember back to "the good old days" when plex was cheap.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

Please keep purchasing them, so I can pod your golden pods. I am sick and tired of having only green eggs as killmails. It is time they turn to gold.

23 October should be the last day of the CE.
Keep this thing exclusive to those of us who had the foresight to pre-order.

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

Depends how many pre-orders they received and whether the marketing dept thinks they can milk a few more dollars out of the player base.

I have no trust in those guys at all. They'll do a 180 in a New York second if it suits them.
