    I'd say Duuude is pretty much on point in his estimations. Stryder, Blu-Rays run $20-30 tops and figurines like the dragon in the CE are pretty expensive $40-$50 range (or more). I think SE already has an art book on their store (yes, they do, just checked) and it's $40 just for that.

    So all in all it's actually a pretty nice deal.

    If you think that statue is going to be close to being worth 40-50, you will be unpleasantly surprised.

    The thing is a little larger than an Amiibo, wich runs at an MSRP of $13.

    I wasn't sure what was on the blu-ray, so that's why I bumped it up to $40. Knock it down to 30 and the book up to 20 and you have the target.

    are you sure you know the price tags for SE figurines ? ($30-40 for "mini" figurines. Some sell for way more than $100, and aren't that much larger than the dragon)

    production/shipping/taxes (well, there are taxes on digital products too so...) aren't what make the price of a video game.

    Please point me to a figure that small that cost $100 by square-enix.

    There are currently $30 figures on the store right now that are following the line of the other various chibi art style. Then there are the $40 super hero figurines, which the liscensing fee to produce those alone is enough explanation.

    Anyway, all I am saying is giving it a $20 msrp on the statue is a good estimate, and that may even be too much.

    these are a bit taller because human shaped, but the quality should be around the same. And they're from 60 to 80 euros. (not $100 because not licensing problem, but still way more than $30)

    you need 1 copy per account AND per platform.

    So yeah you'll need 2 copies for your wife and yourself.

    And you'd need an other one if you had a PS4 linked to either of your accounts, and a 4th copy if both accounts were linked to the PS4, etc etc...

    Those are play arts kai figures. They are taller and vastly more detailed. That is their job. They will never put one of those highly detailed figures in a CE, unless that was practically the ONLY thing in the CE.

    Tomb Raider (2013) had a play arts figure in the CE and that was practically all it came with for $100. (It wasn't even close to the real quality of a real figure that was sold seperately tho.)

    You must be new to the CE game, but I can tell you from experience, unless the figure is a center piece of the CE, it will be dissapointing. (Even then, most figures are dissapointing that come bundled with CEs.)

    The Art book on the store is way way more than this one will be. Speaking as a 2.0 CE owner and previously 1.0 CE holder the art book they included is nice but not as much per se as the one you buy out right for 40 dollars. It's alot smaller and only contains a small sample of the art we are seeing. I bought Wrath of the Litch king expansion for WOW when it first came out. The art book was not only a hard back like this one will be , it was also full size like a yearbook. As far as I know I paid 89.99 for the expansion then too. Art Book, Mousepad, Full Soundtrack CD, Behind Scenes DVD, Game Expansion, In game items. Very sturdy hard clam shell case to hold it all in. I was actually quite impressed with it. Never seen a expansion so nice in my life. But I have to admit I don't have a ton of experience buying CE expansions. Most of the time I just buy the base edition.
