I will never understand why people spend so much more money on the special editions that add nothing of value.

Sometimes the toys are pretty cool. I've never seen anything in the Halo Special Editions that I had to have, but I got the Fallout one for the lunchbox, bobble-head, and bottle opener. I'll probably get the New Vegas one too.

Well in Reach's case... it's a Statuette of the whole team... it's cool as a display item for sure.. but I have no space.. nor the money. :laugh:

Sometimes I'll go for the special edition of a game if I can get it on sale. I've seen a few situations where the special edition was only $5 more than the regular edition, and it ends up coming with a SteelBook and an art book. Even if the SteelBook is nothing special, and even if I just end up tossing the art book into a dark corner of my closet, I can certainly think of worse things to spend $5 on.

This is a rare case in which I will probably end up spending the gross price of $150 USD for the Legendary Edition. I want that statue to geek up my room a little bit, and that flaming helmet just looks hilarious. Never mind the fact that it will make me easier to spot for snipers ;).

Game - $60

Limited Edition content - $10

Statues - $80 (5 statues at $16 each)

Seems fair to me...

My insatiable lust for all things Halo bypasses the common sense departments of my brain. Then again, one could argue that such departments are altogether absent in my case.

I'm not condemning your action, in all honesty being a minor figure collector seeing figurines that are that cheap is pretty rare. Especially ones that well crafted. Problem is, what piqued my interest in the more expensive versions was Halsey's notebook, not the figurines. So I'm gonna settle for the Limited.

I agree that it's definitely a substantial price increase between the Limited Edition and the Legendary Edition, especially considering that the only additions are the figurines and the flaming helmet (whose novelty will probably wear off within the first thirty minutes of using it). I actually didn't even realize that the Limited Edition existed until I did a search for it yesterday. Still, at the end of the day, I can't deny that I want those figurines, and considering that I haven't purchased a lot of games this year (far less than normal, in any event), I do have some extra money set aside for this.

IGN has a preview of Reach Avatar items as well. One of them looks to be exclusive to certain press events (San Diego ComicCon, PAX, etc).

link would be nice.. ;)

I think I will pick up the Limted Edition/ Legendary Version in a year or two. I remember for Halo 3 it went down to $50 and less just to get rid of the excess stock that no one would buy.

Yes this is really true... there's still some Halo 3 Special Editions with the Cheif Helmet for like $50 or less.

I have a good feeling that Ivory Tower is coming back. :) Bungie, in their typical style is teasing a multiplayer map in the making (I think in one of the BWUs). The descriptions fits perfectly to Ivory Tower.

Oh how I hope you're right.
