TAKE ALL MY MONEY SQUARE!!!! I'm so happy about this! At first I was a bit bummed about no soundtrack, but I figure the Heartless plush and KH collectable pin make up for it! Definitely gotta order this!!

EDIT: Saw it runs for $100! Totally worth it IMO.

Waiting this long to reveal an actually-good special edition? Thanks Square.

Welp.

I guess I gotta drop some dosh on this one too.

So far this has just been announced for North America, the UK, and France.

Wait so this pack is only sold in KH2.5 official site(I tried opening the link but i didn`t open)? Do you think it might come available in other stores?

Oh my, oh my. I'm going to drop the munny for this.. but I'll be totally livid if something like this is coming out for ps4. I'll literally flip a desk. I'm so excited!

I don't think they should have called it the 2.5 collectors edition, just for the fact that it has 1.5 with it, It should just be, The Collectors Edition. Gah.. I need this.

First the soundtrack and now this CE. They are essentially forcing me to eat fruit salad every single day for lunch and dinner to save up for this.

TAKE ALL MY MONEY SQUARE.

Very sydden announcement.. I really like this one but the Square Enix store exclusive kills me. I hope they won't do the same for KHIII. Also I can't find it on EU store and even If I choose the US it directs me again to the EU one.. :confused:

Every link I click either doesn't work, or sends me to the Australian site :(

Well time for me to go get my money back from Gamestop. I am soooooo purchasing this! Way better deal.

well now time to update my preorder from LE to CE

Oh man it wont come to Finland.... Well, guess I just have to get the normal one. I really wish a version like this would come available to other stores.

Please try this link if you are having problems loading the page, guys.

Haha good bye money. Now I have to cancel a preorder of something. Probably Persona Q and I'll buy the regular edition Christmas time. Urg and some TV show...

Damn it, I have money save for Black Friday, but I want

* Throws Billfold*.

Pre-ordered!
And now for the agonising 30 days wait until it's out in UK.

Ordered!! Now I gotta cancel the regular order I made with Best Buy. Freaking stoked!!!!

Lmao and here I literally just posted on the PAK Limit Form thread about how West SE wasn't doing anything special for 2.5 and a few hours later this happens. I guess they heard me.

Needless to say, I pre-ordered. Man, the Series Ultimania, 1.5&2.5 Soundtrack Set, and now this. My wallet is taking a beating from Square right now.

KEEP IN MIND GUYS THAT THIS IS NOT PRE-ORDERING! You are actually pre-purchasing the game so your credit cards will be charged as if you are making an order on an already available item!

I`m curious about the new drawing Nomura made. Do you guys think it is a completely new one, or the KH2 Sora drawing which Nomura made a few weeks ago?

And I just pre-ordered the regular 2.5 Limited Edition.

On the other hand, seems like it will be a UK and France only release here in Europe. They're charging £80 for it, which is ridiculous. That's almost 130 USD. Europe getting screwed over, as usual.

Hohoho! Well, it looks like my LE of 1.5 and the 2.5 I have coming will make great Christmas presents for my friend! But this baby will look gorgeous sitting with my collection...And that Shadow needs a little sweater. Time to get crocheting! XD

If they had this available at gamestop I would get it. If I ordered it today there would be a pre-auth for $100 that I cannot afford to lose even temporarily. The release Date is December 2nd which means it would ship earlier than December 2nd which is my payday. So sadly I must pass because I'm on a stict budget. If this would have been announced sooner I could have made alternative plans......

......well crap lol

I was trying to save up for the OST, but I guess I'll be getting this instead xD Definitely worth it, though! Thank you, Square!! ;w;

As great as this collectors edition is, I'm kinda disappointed that square couldn't just give us more stuff in the limited edition version instead of this collectors edition. Most people/fans looking forward to KH 2.5 already own 1.5, so it feels like they gimped the limited edition so they could make more money by re-selling people the first game and giving out better extras. It's a bit off putting as this was only an option for the japanese release.

I just ordered it! But now I don't know what to do with my Amazon Limited Edition copy…sit on it for a wee bit and sell it? There's no point in opening both.

after ordering the OST and now this I'm officially back in the poor house. kinda wish there was a cheaper version sans 1.5 since i already have that

This is awesome! However now in order to get this I have to buy 1.5 again :frown: Wish there was an option to drop the price a bit if you opt not wanting 1.5.

Dern it Square! Quit tryin to man a man poor purchasing for a system he doesn't even own anymore!

I hafta wait until Friday to buy it...I hope it's still being sold T_T
I don't exactly have $100 on me this instant.

Now I kinda' feel like an idiot for buying 1.5. Gonna' have to sell 1.5 so I can buy this.

It's about damn time.

I canceled my order from amazon and pre-ordered this as soon as I heard the news. I'm just glad we got a little more than expected.

Is it bad that I didn't even look at the contents of the collector's edition before rushing to the SE site and pre ordering it? This is amazing news. I'm also really glad that the UK can get it too, not to mention they announced it at the same time as the US collector's edition, unlike what they usually do. I feel sorry for the rest of the Europeans who can't get it in their country though.

I feel bad for that plush doll. It's going to get smacked around from who ever holds one of those toy keyblades.

SERIOUSLY???? What about Europe???? ;(

Is it okay to be mad about the way, they are handling this in PAL-territories? This is such a great CE and I'd love to spend my money on this... but both shops don't ship to other territories, so theres absolutely no chance for me to get my hands on this. Why not sell this through a retailer that grants international shipping or why region lock the shop to begin with, when you're not going to make this available in all of your shops, SE?

Sorry, I don't mean to whine or ruin the mood. I'm just really disappointed right now and even feel a little offended. Congrats to everyone, who gets the chance to buy this. Such a nice Edition, really. Guess I was born in the wrong country... it's a shame. :/

Aww, that lil' Shadow is so cute!
That collection looks sweet! And they included 1.5, which surprised me a little. *sigh* Why do awesome things only pop up when I don't have money?!

Hope I can cancel my Gamestop pre order. I AM GETTING THIS.

I also wish 1.5 wasn't there, but it's fine. I think the price is pretty good for all these goodies.

I want this, I really really do. This is an amazing Collector's edition. BUT! I already own the 1.5 limited edition, and I won a free copy of 2.5 during the KHI posting contest, so it just seems kind of silly to pay 100 bucks for a plush and an artbook when I essentially own everything else included. The steelbook is cool, but again, not worth $100 in my situation...

I think I'd rather get the soundtrack and the limited edition instead of this. I mean, the plushy is nice, but since I got the limited edition 1.5 ReMIX, it's a little silly to get another copy. Plus, the remixed soundtrack is so good ;-;

Yeah I would go for this but the deal breaker is lack of soundtrack. God I just ordered the LE so of course this would happen! I still want this but $100 is steep when all I really care about is the 2.5 game and artbook. Also I just ordered Young Justice so I really need to stop spending money for a while.

This is a very good price for all these things, and I would love to get it and support this...but the Shadow plushie, one of the bigger selling points I'd say, is something I actually already have :P If they had swapped the Shadow one with the Dusk one then I would almost definitely get it because the Dusk one sold out before I could get it.

But yeah I just can't rationalize forking that much money over right now when I already have some of the stuff in it, especially when 2 of like the 3 things I don't have I can get for less than half the price with the limited edition.

I mean, if they ported this exact thing to PS4 I would buy it in a heartbeat. The box looks awesome but when you already have or don't care about most of the stuff inside then you're just sitting there thinking you really want it but you also don't want it. It's a weird feeling.

Eh...way to expensive for what's inside.

I think its an amazing deal compared to other video game deals. coughORAScough200potionscough. Sorry allergies.

I'm actually considering to buy it, but I've heard bad reviews for the distributor. I really want to play the game on release day.

Ordered the CE! I'm so excited for this. Only... now I will have three 1.5 copies... Don't know what I'm going to do with the other two now lol. I'm sure I can find two friends who might be interested.

I just want the artbook since I have the plush and 1.5. ;~; Must think about this, sobbu.

This is a pretty amazing collection. For anyone who doesn't already have the Shadow plush or 1.5, they should jump on this right now because the price is definitely right for all that you're getting.

O_o Am I seeing things correctly? A really nice CE for KH in the US? Amazing!
It's a good deal but I'm not sure I want to spend $100 right now. :/ If only we could take down the price by not getting 1.5 since I have the LE of it. I need some time to think! I'll make my decision by Friday so hopefully it'll still be available then.
To help my decision I need to ask anyone who has bought from the SE online store before, how reliable is it? And do the games usually arrive on release day?

Oh my god. Plush! I knew Square wouldn't let us down.

I ended up going for it. Glad I waited and despite the price, I even like the box of this collection better than the Jp CE! Love the blue/grey colour scheme on it.

Decisions decisions..................

Really excited for to see another collector's edition from the series. I do gotta say though, the fact that this does not look to be coming with the standard versions case is a bit upsetting (can just buy that used in the future for cheap tho). And I don't know what I'll do with a second copy of 1.5, but I guess for collection purposes I'll keep both since this has custom disc art and my current copy of 1.5 is the LE. I'd been meaning to buy the Shadow plush for a while now, so this cool since I hadn't yet. That box will go great next to my 3D Mark of Mastery Edition.

Time to own 1.5 twice.... without even owning a PS3 in the first place....

Fucking Awesome!!!
I had lost hope this close to release but now I can breathe again :)

Wow, I actually just lost hope in an actual CE and I was almost going to buy the lame LE. GG Square. Sad news is, $100 is brutal.

*sigh* I'll find the money just for you, KH. But for once patience was sure as hell worth it.

The lack of money in my wallet is gut wrenching at viewing this. Even if I could fork out the money, it means I'd have to own 1.5 twice. And even if I was able to purchase it and didn't minded having two of the game, it couldn't ship to Singapore anyways...

All I can say is I hope that they release the LE with the artbook because that's the only real reason I would fork out +$50 for the CE.

I'm actually bummed. Current 1.5 and Shadow plush owner speaking, so the art book and case are not worth the additional 50 dollars to me :/

Clearly, I already have the limited edition of HD 1.5, so the debate is whether to cancel my GameStop preorder and get this.... OR wait for a possible similar collection before or during the release of KH3 on the PS4...

I've got the collector's versions of all the other games so far, so I'd hate not to get this one as well...

On the other hand, this along with my Metal Gear Solid Legacy collection, would obligate me to keep my PS3 to make the purchase worth it - instead of trading it when I can towards a PS4 ...

They aren't shipping through Digital Rivers! This alone makes me so happy haha!

I find it really odd that the CE isn't being offered in all the regions where SE actually publishes their games. Doesn't really make sense to me.

To those who reside in regions where KH is published by another entity, I suggest tracking that party down and sending them messages of support, whether it be through Customer Service or their social network channels. Even if the 2.5 CE isn't made available in time, the best thing to do is to show that there is a lot of interest in these bundles in order to encourage them to release future ones.

The post mentions that the steekbook has art on the inside and outside; do we know what's in the inside? I'm really hoping it's the cover artwork for both games so those who buy the Collector's Edition will still get 2.5's artwork.

I'm having trouble preordering it the cart won't show up is anyone else having problems like this?

Okay so I am receiving the CE as a birthday gift and I have already preordered 2.5, Should I cancel the 2.5 preorder? I'm just worried the CE won't be here on time and I'm very impatient! Also I have a display case and would like to display 1.5 next to 2.5? Comments anyone? lol

Yes and I have tried reloading multiple times. It seems to be loading but then goes blank.never mind I just fixed it

I don't have $100. Guess I'll have to use the Law of Attraction to come up with the money.

Thank the heavens we aren't just getting a pin (which I care not for)! But just to nitpick, because I can...

I am not fond of the design of this CE. Again, it's inconsistent with the LE I.5. I'll be paying for a product with I technically already (I.5) have even though this complete collection is labeled as II.5 only. The box sports the overused KH2 Sora art. Boring.

The steelbook case (and I love steelbook cases) has a design based on KHIIFM+ which kindof only honors KHII and Re:CoM, even though six titles are included. It's kindof like they just slapped some artwork on it without giving it any thought. I would have been happier with I.5's cover on one side and II.5's cover on the other. I was not one of those folks disgusted with II.5's cover art, and and kindof disappointed by the complete lack of it.

The disc design looks pretty cool, and I do like that the artbook is somewhat consistent with I.5, but it's really the shadow plush that would make up for all these shortcomings. <3

I will most likely get this and the regular edition, but it's my least favorite of all the Square Enix predorder incentives this year, perhaps based on aesthetics alone. God, I'm a picky bitch. :{

Kinda wish we got the KHBCD artwork instead of the FM+, even if it would have looked really weird on the steelbook.

I'm a bit baffled that they only release this in two countries of the EU and leave out the rest as well as Australia, as if they are resistant to learning after the last two/three shitstorms they earned from EU fans for such things before...0_o

Is it available to order in the EU store? Cause it doesn't show up for me.

Well at least there's this comment and this video.
Koch Media are the ones that usually publish SEs games in some European countries (Italy, Germany, Spain a.f.a.i.k)... so... theres still hope that this CE will be made available in other countries.

hope they deside to let stores have this collection as preorder able, as I am not able to buy stuff online :( maybe I'll be lucky as ___ and there still be some on the site though when my debit card comes in

Does anyone know any other site to order the CE in the UK? Preferably one which ships to the rest of europe. Unless SE fixes their site...

nope, it ust isn't up to order there yet. not broke it will be orderable soon... I think

Not worth it at all for me since I already have 1.5.
I can't believe the artbook is only 30 pages. If it were say....300 or had one of the Ultimania...even a sampler Ultimania, I'd say it was worth it. But a plushy and a pin I'm getting anyway don't interest me enough.
I can see this being something major collectors will go nuts for and at least they are trying to give us a collector's edition.
I hope with KH3 we get a proper collector's edition though, something packed with goodies and new content.

What would really be nice if they gave us a KH 2.5 poster like the 1.5 one fromm the launch event. Imagine Kingdom Hearts 2 box art in CGI *drools a bit*

Just locked my order in.

2.5 is turning out to be very expensive game for me.

Can we all agree that it's stupid to call this the Kingdom Hearts 2.5 Collector's Edition when it includes 1.5? They should have put that on the front cover.

Game.co.uk is selling the collector's edition.

If anyone outside of the UK is looking to buy a copy, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX Collector´s Edition Pre-Order | eBay

I'll be getting the Limited Edition since I already have the 1.5 ReMIX and a Shadow plush. The other stuff doesn't look that impressive.

Just a small bit of hope for us Aussie's...

Take a look at the disc's. They have the PEGI 12 as well as the Australian PG rating's on them. Why would a they ever print the collector's edition with the PG symbol if it was never going to be released here?

My Aussie 1.5 Limited edition has exactly the same disc as the UK version, the only difference being the packaging has a PG instead of a 12 on it.

But then again, Joey seems to know what's going to happen and when, and if he's ordered from the US there might not be any hope D:

Has anyone who's ordered this online been having issues getting the order confirmation email? I've emailed customer support twice and I received their reply emails but not the order confirmation that they've apparently sent me 3 times now. anyone have any suggestions as to why this might be happening? I'm just kinda at a loss at this point...

Amazon Germany had some. I managed to order a copy. The CE pretty much instantly sold out though. I think you could order for like 2 hours... It's possible they are getting some more though, happened with quite a few CEs in the past.

So happy that this is not a UK/FR-only thing... Looks like the CE will be available in most PAL-countries (or at least you can order from shops that ship internationally) after all.

Man, I wish the regular limited edition will come with the artbook. I don't want to pay $60 extra dollars for 1.5 again. The steelbook is cool, but Square could make my day if they just added the artbook.

Pre-ordered this bad boy yesterday. Anyone here have any experience with ordering from Square Enix? Just wonder on the likelihood of it getting here day 1. I know it says it should on the site, but I'd rather here from actual consumers on if I can trust that.

Thanks.

Well after much debate I've decided not to get the CE. I really did want to but I got some expenses (not to mention Christmas) coming up in the near future so I will have to stick with the LE. All I ask is for someone who does get it to post some of the artwork. Please? :)

Hoping this doesn't sell out in the next two weeks. Need to wait for my next paycheck.

Pros-No Digital Rivers

Cons-They charge your card right away, and now i'm in over draft.

I immediately cancelled my Amazon pre-order and ordered this bad boy. Totally worth it for the nice case, and can definitely give my old 1.5 copy to a friend.

It seems their selling each game as if it were $60? Disc only of 1.5 goes for 10 trade in credit at GS. But I think I'm gonna keep both

Sold out at Game.co.uk........

Between pre-order and pre-purchase, the difference is minimal unless you are pre-purchasing when you don't have money. I actually prefer the pre-purchase way as I don't need to worry about it later. It's been committed.

I pre-purchased it with my credit card. It was $150, and I had $60 left haha. Oh well, as long as my bill doesn't come out before Thursday, I'm good.

Skipping this. Want a consistent Bluray case w/ my 1.5. The pin is the goodie I want most. Can always buy the heartless plush separate. :)

The collector's edition will NOT be sold in Australia or New Zealand :(

Amazon.co.uk has the Collector's Edition up!!!!

[FONT=Verdana][/FONT]

Aaaaand the CE is sold out at amazon.de. Looks like SE underestimated how popular this CE would be in Europe. It's a shame they won't release it in Oceania... I don't understand how SEs marketing works sometimes...

Apologies if this is off-topic, but I think I saw the new Nomura sketch on Tumblr a few weeks back. It might have been on the Japanese art book as well. Do you guys want me to post a link to it, I happen to stumble upon it again?

Welp, I caved and ordered. :x

I was reading comments on another forum, and it appears that the collector edition will be available in Finland. An Finish website is selling it. I wish I had seen this sooner, since I pre-ordered the regular version of the game. Dang it! I should have opened my computer first, before going to the local video-game store. :( Ah well. I`ll just get the regular version, since I have already paid it.

Here is the website I`m talking about :Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX - Collector's Edition PS3-peli | Seikkailu- ja roolipelit | Pelit PS3 | Verkkokauppa.com

Just preordered mine! Hopefully I can wrap up Re:CoM's platinum before the I get it.

I am getting anxious for this game/collection. I just finished everything I wanted to do in 1.5 remix and now I'm in that weird place of emptiness. :(

Uh oh guys...

[spoiler=ONLY 5000 COPIES LEFT!!!][/spoiler]

Probably less by now, better hurry up if you plan on ordering this!

Ugh, thanks for the heads up. I keep hoping Amazon US will get some, since I've got some gift cards, but it's looking less and less likely...

Well, that 5000 copies left message pushed me into ordering mine. Problem is Square won't verify my Visa (don't really use Mastercard) :/
I waited 10 minutes anyway, so don't think it was going to verify after that

Is anyone having this problem? Maybe Square is having a lot of traffic?

Yeah, don't use Japan as an indicator of how other markets are treated with this series. The fact that it took the final mixes ten years to go elsewhere should be a sign.

Which is such a shame because I don't think the tastes of fans in Japan are so different from the fans in the West when it comes to these things. We don't need 10 versions of a CE, but it'd be great to already be "in the plan" when they are working things out in Japan.

If Square Enix is going to operate as a global company, I think they need to really work on this a lot more in the future.

So anyone from the States/UK feel like ordering an extra copy and sending them to some KH-starved Aussies?

Aaand they're sold out.

gj, Heartless plushie

will square enix make a new batch for 2.5 collection edition because i still want to order mine but they ran out?

^
I don't think so man, the best you can do now is ebay. The downside is that the product will most likely cost about double the price, and as they get even scarcer the price will continue to rise.

I just got an email saying my collectors edition has shipped.

Apparently people are getting their collection ahead of time. I've seen 3 posts on Tumblr, all of them were surprised.

I received a message from my post office that there is a package for me, and I don't remember ordering anything recently. Maybe it's the set :P

Is it too late to go to the post office today, or will you be going tomorrow?

I got mine through EB Games...son of a bitch

Yeah, seems mine is getting here this weekend possibly. Even though I can't touch it till finals are done =(

Should I be worried that I haven't gotten an email yet?

If any of you do receive the package, can you take a picture of Nomura's message inside the artbook?

Got an email today, so I don`t know what the hell is waiting for me at the post office haha.

I really hope there won`t be a clearance delay.

I just got my email last night, and by then it was already halfway here. thinking there's a good chance it'll be here by Friday :D

I got my shipped e-mail a few days ago and surprisingly enough, the "estimated date of arrival" is exactly 12/2. It seems my order has been held in TX for the past day or 2 and I'm wondering if SE made it so that that shipment center doesn't ship it out until it will arrive on time.

Either way I'm not expecting it too arrive early and at this rate I probably won't be able to play it anyways when it comes out but still...pretty excited for that steelbook ^_^ even if I am quite disappointed in hindsight in the CE :)

They generally try to ship these things to where you'll get it on the release date, their nice like that. At worst, you'll get it a day late, two days at most. Sadly, I doubt we'll be seeing them early. As awesome as that would be, I'm pretty sure there's some kind of law/regulation against doing so. But oh well, the important part is is that we got our emails and they are now on their way :D I can't wait to cuddle with my Shadow plushie as the Lingering Will kicks my ass over and over :3

I got my CE box yesterday :D I think they under/overestimated the speed of shipping to Canada lol.

If anyone wants to see the shiny, I posted some unboxing pics on my tumblr

If you want to remain surprised XD; don't go there!

There's actually a high chance that we will get them early. People on the west coast and beyond have already recieved theirs. Also, the only reason they were "held" yesterday is because it was Thanksgiving, and postal service doesn't run on that holiday.

I just realized that perhaps you guys live in Europe... -_-

If so, you may disregard this post. :)

Should I be worried that I haven't received my e-mail yet? I ordered it on the first day so I assume everything should be in order, but I've got a little nagging feeling in the back of my head. Especially since some people have already gotten theirs.

Yeah, I checked. It wouldn't come up as spam for me I don't think. The order confirmation email didn't show up as spam.

Edit: False alarm, It has arrived!

Just got my copy in the mail today, I thought I was going crazy at first.

Hey has anyone else gotten this early??! so i woke up about an hour ago and found a box my roomate just left on the floor by the counter opened it and found my collectors edition!!

Is there any chance that I can still buy it online? u_u

maybe, from a scalper.

I didn't care about any collector's edition since I need to be sure I can get my hands on teh PS3 first (No use getting game if you can't play it) so I'm going for the not-collector's edition soon as I can get my brother to bring that upstairs!

Welp, mine came today. But it shall stay sealed in its box until my final project is over with this semester =(

Feelin' kinda anxious that I still don't have the shipping email and so many people are already getting their copies delivered.

Looks like mine will be arriving tomorrow but I still have yet to 100% complete 1.5 so I don't think I'm gonna open it till Xmas (yes a long time, I know), because I need to force myself to 100% 1.5...too many playthroughs...thank you for the new trophies in 2.5!!!

I feel the same as someone who has also yet to receive a shipping email. My concern though, is that they might have accidentally cancelled my order (I placed two orders, then cancelled the first one shortly after making the second).

Literally everyone else I know in the area has received their copies days ago, so I'm not really sure what's going on.

I got mine today!
Haven't opened it yet, will probably do it tmrw if I have time to play.

I have yet to receive my shipping/tracking info as well. Oh how my little kingdom heart worries.

Edit- Haderp, check your spam Cosmic!
Looks like I'll get mine tomorrow. They changed from USPS to UPS. $10 for shipping UPS ground is too much for a product that weighs 2 lbs.

I finally got my email confirmation today! It ended up in my spam folder about 30 minutes ago. It also says that the game will probably be delivered today through UPS. I wish everyone else luck in getting their confirmation email. Hopefully the day you get it will be the day you receive the game also!!!

Mine just got delivered! Now I just have to wait for my university to process the package, which usually takes about a hour. This is excruciating.

hmmm, i'm starting to get the feeling that the collector's edition is out of the question. Probably just go ahead get the regular editiong or something, idk.

When I went to preorder it in November they were already sold out, so I'll have to order it online from someone who bought it. It'll be more expensive but still worth it in my opinion!

I really wish I'd been able to get my hands on it. But its ok. Im happy to buy both copies for my friend; even if it makes me broke. Perhaps ill wrap her presents with the comics section of the Sunday paper :3

Mine is STILL in customs clearance. Le sigh

Kind of random, but I got my import copy of the 1.5+2.5 OST(which is AMAZING!!!) and noticed something fun. Disc 1 of the KH 2.5 OST, Track 13...Roxas. And Track 14 is Sora. Just love that lol.

Just out of curiosity, to anyone who received their 2.5 CE in the mail, was the box terribly damaged? I received mine today (a day early, YAY!) but the outerbox was bent, crushed, and smashed on most sides and on all the top corners.

If anyone has this problem, Square Enix has been getting a lot of reports of poorly arrived outer boxes and should be replacing them if you make an order (which I did almost immediately) so hope is not all lost. I know it's only an outer box, but for $100 and display purposes, I would think most would want their outer box squeaky clean!!!

That sounds bad. Square is gonna hurt because of all us collectors out there. This means theyll hafta make more cases...Are they having you ship the game back for an entirely new one? Doesnt seem sensible to just ship the box.

Just got my CE!

The front of the box was a little bit bent. Nothing too bad, and the contents are all fine.

Kind of funny looking at the manuals in this CE compared to the manuals that came with the Collector's Pack.
CP has full-color manuals with story, character bios, in-depth descriptions of the HUD, menus and controls.
CE just has warranty info, instructions about Trophies and a button layout that only applies to one game per ReMIX (KHFM for 1.5, and BbSFM for 2.5).

Just got my Collector's Edition today! It's absolutely awesome. Totally stoked.

So either my school's mail room or UPS screwed up. The UPS tracker told me it was delivered yesterday, but after a few hours of not getting an email notification from the school (usually takes an hour for them to process), I went down to the mail room and asked about it. I gave them the tracking number, they said it was registered as delivered, but after looking for it, the worker determined it wasn't there. I hope it just got left on the truck. The mail room was closed all of last week for Thanksgiving, so a ton of stuff was delivered and processed yesterday. I'm going to run back down in a little bit to see if anything has changed. The same thing happened to me last year with a package of food my mom sent up. I never got a notification about it and they ended up sending it back. I'm not going to let that happen with this! I'm pretty pissed off right now.

Just got mine, and I must say it is downright beautiful. The case is awesome, the artbook is awesome, and the plushie is just so darn adorable. I love it :3 Also, the box was pretty much undamaged. The only thing wrong with it is the the bit of peeling from taking the seal off, so that's nice. I am so happy :)

Aaaaannnddddd still in customs. Another reason why I wish I lived in the States.

Turns out that my CE was left on the truck yesterday. Just picked it up. My box is in pristine condition and everything was in it. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to finish the Re:CoM platinum.

My boyfran just literally got his LE copy. I didn't know it came with special boxing, but now I can't wait to go home and find my CE waiting for me. *u*

Customs finally cleared. Hopefully I'll have it tomorrow.

So even though I placed my order with the right address, the zip code printed on my parcel was somehow incorrect and the package (which should have arrived on then 29th apparently if the address was printed correctly) is off in limbo somewhere :\

I Know its crazy but i just heard about this today. and i was dead set on buying it that second. unfortunately they were out of stock. i need this collectors edition. is there any possibility they are making more?

Idk, but ebay is always an option.

Never will I ship a game from a GameStop Store to home again. I could go to the mall and get it but since I pre-ordered/Bought and wanted it to be sent home. I got to wait until next week...

My collector's addition was waiting or me when I got home from work, and tbh I wasn't super super impressed upon opening it up and came like this close to having buyer's remorse; then I realized I could fit every single KH game I own (which is every single KH game that has come out in the States) in this one box (even the casing for the old GBA CoM which as of today I don't even know if I still have the cartridge for) and that made it all worth it. Plus, I don't have to look at that loathsome excuse for the 2.5 cover art. :D

One thing I don't understand is the, erm, jacket for the art book. It doesn't really look like anything that belongs with a KH game (more Zelda appropriate I'd say). Plus, the artbook for 1.5 Remix didn't come with a jacket, so the complete lack of symmetry is irritating me. But I don't want to throw it out because it came with the collection. I know Square did this just to get under my skin.

My CE is currently being packed. Which means they'll ship it today and it will be here tomorrow afternoon one day before the official release. I'm really hyped up right now and I only just woke up. ^^

Yesterday was Kingdom Hearts day for me. I got my copy of Kingdom Hearts 2.5 (to which I'm on Beast's Castle) and I got my order of Kingdom Hearts 2 Volume 3 from Chapters.

I still don't have my copy...Seems I still have to pay the price for staying up all night trying to get one that time! XD
Diddly you, karma. Diddly you.

Finally arrived. The packaging was undamaged, until I had to peel the damn adhesive off of the top.

Just to say, anyone in the UK or EU, the collectors Ed has come back up for sale from amazon themselves:
