@Solaryellow: I don't know. It seems the Collectors Editions of upcoming big games (Fallout 4, MGSV) are all sold out and have been since they were announced. So what gives? Shoot - the statue ALONE from The Witcher 3 Collectors Edition is selling for $100+ right now on Amazon's seller marketplace. So there doesn't appear to be a lack of demand.........

I guess I just would've thought that these Collectors Editions are made for a reason - for the true hardcore fans of franchises to treat themselves to a little bit of game memorabilia. I wouldn't think that THAT is something that has died a death.....

@davillain-: That actually really does help. I guess sometimes I have my Amazon blinkers on. That you very much!!!

Interesting. Thanks for the perspectives.

I've never bought a Collector's Edition myself either, but mainly that is because I've never had the money. I finally do, and now I can't see any for any of the games I may preorder that I listed above. It kinda sucks.

Hopefully, the one that really matters (Mass Effect Andromeda) will have a Collectors Edition available.

Never posted here before so indulge me.....

I have a long list on my Amazon Wish List of upcoming games that will be releasing over the next 12 months or so (who doesn't? :-)

But - here's my thing. I was browsing through all of them yesterday, and not one of them list a Collector's Edition. No Rise of the Tomb Raider with a Lara statue, no AC Syndicate with an Assassin statue, no Mad Max with a car, etc. etc.

It seems to me this is a pretty big departure from the normal; usually, game manufacturers released their Collector's Editions alongside the standard editions, and also included them for sale on Amazon alongside the standard edition.

So what's going on?? Why has this suddenly changed? Where are all the Collector's Editions?? I do note that some AC Syndicate Collector's Editions ARE available, but you have to hunt them out on Ubisoft's own store etc. etc. I am allergic to doing this - if it isn't sold on Amazon, the chances are I'm not going to get it.

Any thoughts/input would be greatly appreciated!
