[quote name='admiralvic']The item will most likely drop again (which is what im hoping for) and can be a huge deal if it happens fast. The gamestop trade in is 18 (asked today when I was there) and with +.40% - .50% thats nearly half the cost. I dont know what the helmet feels like in person, but assuming its like the one on display there it looks/feels EXTREMELY cheap. The toy is cool, but most likely you will do nothing with it. The voucher is rather worthless though...
The shick promo a while back (is it still valid?) offered the Killzone 3 first map pack like the SV + the "exclusive" dynamic theme. There are so many of the themes out there unless you were under a rock/didnt care you dont have one. The 24 hours of perks is ok same with the XP, but the shick promo offered 3 credit points. If you abused it a LOT you could cap everything from the start.
The biggest thing killing the CE is the helmet because its just so big... Most people dont want it and of the 3 locations I went each had 5+ out on display. I really doubt they will sell and if they do theres no value at all.[/QUOTE]
At this point and prices dropping on it that they are, buying any collector's edition on clearance is for novelty purposes only. I picked one up because i liked the series and i actually thought the helmet and figurine were cool. I paid $60 for this set, essentially the game with some added bonuses.
It really boils down to if someone sees a value in it, will any of these things be worth anything 5-10 years from now, no but the question is it worth it to you. This is the 2nd collectors edition i have ever bought but i use the helmet and figurine as things that i display in my office.
The voucher isn't bad if you have missed the promos for the map pack, saves you $5 bucks there. The music, videos and theme are just novelty.
