How much do you want Skyrim, a statue of a dragon, a book and a DVD? Do you want that enough to splurge £130 on it?
If you read the above paragraph and thought, “yes, I would quite like those things… oh, yes, I have got a spare £130 and a desire to splurge it.” then good for you, have a look at the picture below. That’s the Skyrim Collector’s Edition, which comes with everything I’ve mentioned.
More likely that you thought “yes, I would quite like those things… OH MY GOD HOW MUCH!?” In which case, consider that the dragon is Alduin, the world eater (apparently) and is a whole twelve inches tall. Still not tempted?
It’s a lot of money to spend on a collector’s edition, although the extra stuff is all quite enticing.
Here’s the full list of extras:
- Alduin, the World Eater Statue. 12 inches of precision-modelled PVC dragon.
- The Art of Skyrim. Official art book with over 200 pages of sketches, models and other assorted artwork from the game.
- The Making of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim DVD. A DVD. About making the game.
The collector’s edition is set to be extremely limited and will retail for $149.99/€149.99/£129.99 on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
I have to admit, as pricey as this seems, I’m a little bit tempted…

I’m going to save up and buy this! It’s so sweet it makes my eyes tear up.

You’d expect a few more things for that much money. Some of these special editions are priced way too high. I’ve seen SE’s of street fighter 4, tekken 6, kz3 and black ops still unsold in local shops recently

No. Mass effect 3’s collector’s edition, last time I checked, was around €90-100. That’s enough, in my opinion.

If I ever have a plastic dragon in my flat, then you can rest assured I have gone mental.

Even if this was for The Last Guardian and that was a statue of Toriko, i wouldn’t pay that much… well, maybe not.. ;)

I’m hoping that this is a case of shoddy journalism…

To be honest if i had all the money put aside for the releases i want i would consider getting this. When i start to get some decent income i’m going to start collecting collectors editions of games. May have to pick and choose though.
