this definitely needs more to be included. the ship model I got of the rifter is utter crap imo. its deformed, one side hangs lower then the other and just feels like it will crumble in my hands. I cant play fighter pilot in public with this thing! people will look at me strange.

the pod, yes good vanity item. however I feel like it should have some kind of bonus' attributed to it.

tattoos: sell them. worthless to me.

Anyone else in the UK showing the collectors edition still held in customs?

No mine has been passed to Parcel Force. DHL aren't tracking it anymore.

- Rifter could've been better quality...
- I'm hearing rumors about random noise during the Symphony. I don't wanna crack a bottle of wine and listen to it with random idiots in the background...
- Danger Game tin should've been the size of the game-board...
- Very happy with the book...
- In game items was a good deal...(currently selling Dust 514 crap, 1 Bil ISK obo.)

- Maybe the actual game disk...
- A DVD with random stuffs on it, like behind the scenes and/or History of CCP and EVE Online...
- Some stickers?


I've said it before and will say it again, include 5 out of a set of 150 (numbers vary) trading cards... The cards could be the fun novelty stuffs Example: Piece of Steve. First person to bring all 150 to CCP HQ in Iceland gets lifetime subscription to EVE for free!

- I actually planned to use the rifter as an usb hub (I need one anyway) but it seems too fragile so I don't want to break it or something
- the book and the cd with the codes were the most exciting things for me in the box
- The duct tape on the danger game's nylon sticked to the paper (which separates the top stuff from the bottom) and tore it a little bit. Not the end of the world but I wasn't happy about it.
- Not a big fan of the board game because I think I haven't touched a board game in the last 15 years or so. However CCP Alice is hot with the guitar and CCP Punkturis should change her name to CCP Hipsteris from now on. Big smile
- I secretly hoped there will be poster in the package as a surprise. Even if it's just a small poster with a generic logo. I thought poster is pretty standard in all CE. /sad

I have to say it's not the best collector's edition I have ever had (ingame items make up for it a little bit tho) but the most precious because it's eve. And I want this for my mystery code next. Cool

Yer so has mine but Parcelforce are still saying it is in customs - most annoying as everyone else seems to be getting or already has theirs! Ugh

Hey Stoogie! FYI mine made it through UK customs today almost in one piece.
I wish you luck on receiving yours minus the UK dribbler boarder force who seem to of employed Lennie Small to open packages!

Peace

I was in-fact about to unleash the dragon on someone, until I found out I have jack **** rights against HMRC.
Apparently I would have to take it up with musterbrand or CCP for insurance coverage...

**** that, I got no room in my life for a box that big anyway... Roll

Panpher is French for Panther, FACT!
They just can't spell it how they pronounce it. Blink

Kudos to you though, most people read it as Panp-Her, yet most of these people seem to be able to spell pamphlet and phoenix correctly. so +1

I like the box; the cardboard inlay holding the CD case as well as the tin box is a bit too fragile (the weight of the tin box broke mine alone; obviously during transport), but that's no show stopper.

Only skipped through the book once so far, just to find a Corax shooting lasers on pages 174/175 (it's like the first launcher background; just with a replaced ship). Other than that, very nice, and so much text to read. ;)

Oh btw. anyone else got lots of small dust particles inside their box? obviously from the Rifter model or some kind of production thingy?

Lol just looked at the update from Parcelfarce and see that the box is still in customs and has been for 2 days Oops

Looks like the Bristish authorities think it is suspect - must be the Danger Game pictures on the tin.

I want my stuff!!! Cry

I still wonder how they could think that. I thought british intelligence was monitoring allmost all of the european internet traffic. They should know what's in that box before you do... Straight

I bet they know the contents of the mystery code before you, too.

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

I actually have like glue/gum stuck to one of the first pages in the book, it's really sad. I filed a ticket with Musterbrand, and they told me it wasn't their problem, and CCP would contact me. And they didn't. So now I filed a CCP ticket, and haven't heard anything from them yet.

I think it is amazing. I hope to try the Danger Game this weekend w/my buddies. I also realized that I suck with the scrambler rifle in Dust more than I do with the normal AR.

Can't wait to dual box my Dust toon and EVE toon on the same machine!

Ehh..

Other than a complete waste of money? Not much really and in retrospect, I would be happier if the book had been sold separately because that is what I was mostly interested in.

Vanity junk doesn't faze me at all, Rifter model feels and looks cheap and so, it looks like I paid €150 for a book that isn't even stimulating (unlike Art of EVE) to read. I would be happier if it was a box with €150 worth of plex.
