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

[Smashing Pumpkin]

Trying to figure out, have they used the same images of the spartans on the poster in the cardboard cutouts where possible, ie theyre standing on the poster.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

^ The cut outs and the poster on the wall?

No, they are different images.

The guy in front only differs by a slight turn of the head and angle of his arms/shoulders, but everyone else is in noticeably different positions.

[Razorwing]

unfortunately, I don't have the space nor the money for special editions :p.

[Smashing Pumpkin]

Thought maybe George was just mirrored n the front dude was maybe the same, okay that's fair.

Bungie you get a thumbs up now (Y)

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.

After traveling around Melbourne Australia to maybe 20 game stores finding the legendary preorder sold out in every one I finally managed to pre order one at ebgames.com.au! Took so long loll because I was so late but they say they gonna ship it out on sept 14th!!! Comes with bonus recon as well so I can has flaming reconz :)

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.

New update confirms how the new aa works and shows us the whole armory :)

[kewlkreator]

I watched the teaser when it was released at E3. Pretty beastly. *want*

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.

[sweetham]

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).

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

[Smashing Pumpkin]

Thanks for the google. They don't look that great honestly. Should've done a better paint on them. They look over-saturated really.

No probs, sorry can't resist using that site since I found it

I preorder the Legendary Halo Reach Edition

[killmaster84]

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.
