The Tekken 5 stick is a Hori Real Arcade Pro and was one of the first accessible ways for Americans to get a real Japanese style stick, so in my mind it has to be the most important collector's edition for a fighter ever!!
My buddy and I, who are both fighting game fans, have found several Infinity Eggs at thrift stores, usually for under five bucks. We've made a running joke out of making a big deal about finding one, just to leave it on the shelf and walk on.
I wanted the snk heroines collector's edition when it came out SO BAD even tho i knew i would never play the game i just really wanted that hat and the shermie pin lol
That Soulcalibur VI steelbook never went off for me, but it did still break to the point where the announcer sounded like he was yammering on with gibberish.
Great video. Keep it up! As a note on an obscure collector’s edition: There was a Capcom website exclusive Super Street Fighter 4 collector’s edition called the “Dojo” edition. It came with an Ibuki water bottle, an XL size Dudley T-Shirt, and a gym bag that said Super Street Fighter 4 on it. Little anecdote, I brought that bag to hold my stuff when I ran the New York Marathon, and I had a few people from other countries ask me where I got that bag… it helped me connect with fighting games fans from around the world! 😆 Glad to see your channel growing. Also wanted to thank you, I randomly asked for a photo with your Athena cosplay at this past MAGfest , and you were super nice! Nice to see someone spreading good vibes amongst fighting game fans!
Great video! I remember ordering a second hand copy of TTT2's We Are Tekken Edition, but for some reason it also came with a TTT2 beanie and a t-shirt with some nice Alisa art on it!
Just wanna say, really love your enthusiasm and love of the games. I don’t care much for games but the goodies any game gives is very fun to watch and learn! Keep up the good work on content!
Love the soulcalibur 6 narrator steelbook. I didn't know that people had an issue with it just randomly going off and just not shutting up. Love that 😂 I actually clicked mine recently and the voice is JACKED 😂 his poor voice is just a muffled mess 😂 Love this video so far! Thanks for posting it :) collectors additions are an awesome concept but... not every one hits the nail on the head unfortunately lol!
i'm obsessed with art books! A few months ago i got lucky and found the Tekken 6's one in a thrift store for mad cheap, i hope we get an Tekken 8 one soon 🤞
I love the special editions for KoFXV and XIV. The latter had the store clerk be real uppity calling it "the expensive edition" also the big artbook that XIV came with is really great. And can't forget those COMPLETE SOUNDTRACKS
You have finally given me an explanation for my agony. When I was a kid I would go to flea markets a lot and this guy was selling MK Deception for a cheap price. I could only get one thing while I was there, and seeing Shredder Sub-Zero on the box made me confident in my pick. I get home and it’s just Mortal Kombat OG with some commentary of the ACTUAL MK Deception. I felt so betrayed and confused but yknow what now I have a sense of closure
This was a great video! Something different from my usual feed, and on a super niche topic that turned out to be surprisingly informative. I NEED to recreate that Tekken 7 statue….
I was given some of these from friends since they all knew that i love fighting games. Specifically street fighter 6 and street fighter 5. I was surprised about snk heroines having a collector's edition but it looks really cool!
We didn't get the special edition of Dissidia 1 over here, but we did get Duodecim. That came with cards of the newcomers and a Tifa recolour costume. This was the era where every SE game on PSP had a special edition costume for Duodecim, though. That was a fun time.
Awesome video! Glad I found your channel, very cool stuff your showing off! I was gonna get the 25th anniversary of guilty gear Strive but the DLC is not on the disk and the soundtrack only has 5 songs off of it. The only reason to get it at that point is the artbook basically. My favorite video game collections are definitly kingdom hearts 1 for the ps3 and Re 2 remake. Keep on being awesome in meantime
Enjoyed the video. Thank you for your work. Love the Street Fighter 20th anniversary edition. The codes still worked about a year ago. However they are US only, so I needed to setup my PS3 with a US based account in order to use them.
I saw this in my recommendations, even though I’ve always been the type of person to settle for the barebone when it came to being in niche communities. This video kind of convinced me that the next time my favorite IP releases a collector’s edition I might as well join in on the hype 😅
I miss going into game shops and buying or preordering collectors editions. One of my favorites was assassins creed brotherhood codex edition that came with the assassin box, book and other goodies.
Can’t remember the last time any game collectors gave you a towel. Except I distinctly remember preordering Super Mario Sunshine at Toys R Us giving you a pretty large beach towel.
I’ve been getting lucky by waiting for years and letting somebody else buy something from limited runs or play Asia and then I buy it from them because I don’t trust either one of those websites I wouldn’t send a single dollar to them
The 25th Anniversary Edition on PS3 included download codes for the PS1 Classics versions of the Alpha games, and literally every SF avatar item from the PS store. I was really happy to switch to PS3 just in time for that collection.
I can already imagine someone sleeping soundly and out of nowhere, your dreams take a turn for the worse when you hear Xemnas go "WELCOME TO THE STAGE OF HISTORY" Also, I definitely loved the Tekken 7 Collector's Edition, and the statue is great, however, I will warn that if you plan to get the statue from that CE, you might need a clear transparent stick or support for it, as over time, the Kazuya figure will slowly start weighing down. I missed out on the Tekken 8 Collector's since I was broke. I also loved the Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN Collector's Edition. And I unfortunately lost the keychain that came with that one.
I like guilty gear signs limited edition purely for the reason that it looks like the tome of origins and has the guilty gear codex which helps bring you up to everything that’s going on in guilty gear story wise. You don’t have to go back and try to play the old games are scour through wikis, It’s a pretty easy way to catch up on 15 years of lore so you can just hop into signs story.
Man I wish every future fighting game collector's editions/pre-order bonuses can do something similar what SNK Heroines does. Gotta respect that game for actually cares what "collector's edition/pre-order bonuses" mean. But hey at least we got some dog tags from DOA5, so that's neat to say coming from the Lei Feng main myself.
My biggest collector edition pet peeve is when they don’t include the original case or the game is just a download code and don’t even get me started on steel books
As someone who now owns the statue after this video was uploaded. There is a metal rod that hold it up through Kazuyas leg. It’s very sturdy thankfully!
I love collector editions that come with figures, I always want to have physical versions of my favorite characters to display on a desk. I only wanted the MVCI box for the Megaman X statue, but I already have the Kotobukiya figure which came out much later
I had the Soulcalibur IV Collector's Edition and always wanted the Soulcalibur V one. Would even wear the special shirt that game with it to school (Yoda and Siegfried one).
I never bought the collectors edition for MKX and I still got the Gold Scorpion skin a few years back it was free on the ps store right around the time MK11 was coming out I remember seeing people posting about it on a MK reddit forum I was part of back then.
@@baberuthless @baberuthless The Soulcalibur one! It's fun to use and a real conversation starter. Unfortunately I bought it at the height of the pandemic so shipping was twice what it should have been. But the unit itself was inexpensive and altogether it was still less than a PS5.
Killer Instinct 2013 had an interesting limited edition called the Pin-Ultimate edition. It didn't come with a physical copy of the game (just a code for the ultra edition of season 1) so there was no game case, so instead what you got was a pin display case that had spaces reserved for 16 of them (8 of them were for the season 1 characters and the other were various symbols related to KI) and 2 pins included (Jago and the KI symbol). Penny Arcade did the artwork for the pins which was pretty neat. And speaking of Penny Arcade, you could only get the rest of the pins from their web site.
You just unlocked a memory for me, i totally forgot about that pinset! I remember debating getting it since it was the closest there was to a physical copy of the game at that time
@@baberuthless Yeah, I was completely on board the hypetrain for the game that I shelled out for the pin case. It was a bit of a missed opportunity to not have a collector's or limited edition physical release for the game's 10th anniversary though. At the very least, I'd settle for a cool steelbook and the full stellar soundtrack spanned across multiple CDs (and they have to be named Killer Cuts 😉).
So yeah, those video trading cards in MKD are named that because they were the "video versions" of the trading cards that came with MK Deception's premium pack. They had the same design and all. I remember mine (also had the Premium Pack on PS2) was a Sub-Zero one, so I guess it just...came with that.
I was so hyped about the Infinity Stones in the MvCi Collector's Edition, though thankfully my burning wounds of SFV still held me back from getting them^^;
Fo sure the primo bonus is the documentaries. By the tail end of the 7th gen era, all extras were cards for DLC. I would say that artkbooks are a close second but with the bulk of what goes into production, I would rather those be saved for in-game extras or making a dedicated book that covers developer commentary.
I got Skullgirls for Switch. Sold by limited-run games. I got the version that came with the vinyl record. At that point, I already had the game on PC. I just wanted a physical copy, and to play it on Switch would be cool. I remember the game was taking longer than expected. So they sent everyone a code to get the game digitally so you could start playing while you waited. It was nice of them to do that. The vinyl record is really cool. I ended up getting the Rocket League and Elden Ring vinyl as well. I probably should get a record player. XD
The 2 collector's editions that I keep were MK9 and MvCI 😊 ... Also MK Armageddon had cell of entire cast with Ed Boon signature printed as GameStop preorder bonus
I have the Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds “Special Edition” with a really awesome slipcase, fantastic Steel book with awesome art… and even a short intro Comic/Artbook, and a handful of character sheets with art and special moves.
I started wearing my Tekken 6 hoodie just this year. It was my personal most precious collectors item and was scared to wear it cause I hat the white one haha. All in all, I feel collectors editions got so expensive now, that most of the time the statue isn't even worth it anymore to me. Which is why I liked the Sophitia one, the statue was amazing and it wasnt so expensive
For Tekken TT2, there's 4 editions that comes with more times, the Italian exclusive iron fist edition and also Christie monteiro edition, the french exclusive Tekken statue edition and lastly we got the asian exclusive Asia prestige edition There's also an Australian eb games exclusive Tekken 8 King edition
I managed to nab the SF6 Mad Gear box as a local store a while back and honestly, best 240 bucks I spend (bonus that it got reduced to that price from 280 bucks, but tbh, Pop Up Parade figues are usually around 60 - 70 bucks each, so kinda fair pricing)
Still have my collector's edition of Mortal Kombat (2009) that came with the game, Scorpion and Sub-Zero book ends and bonus character skins. Also have my vanilla steel book special edition of Marvel vs capcom 3 (both games are on PS3)
27:56 Are you saying that because the soundtrack sucks compared to the previous entries? If so, you're spot on lol. Also I had to take a look at the art book, I can't believe the only character (other than the VF guests) to not have any concept art included is Ryu Hayabusa!
Ever since I bought a Halo Spartan action figure that broke its hand after 6 months, I knew that getting something else along with the game was a mistake. There's just no room to put these things unless you have dedicated space for it and even then you risk tripping and destroying them. As a 3d animator, I am just happy getting to play with the 3d models in my hard drive than some immovable statue. I main Sephiroth in Tekken too
The Tekken 5 stick is a Hori Real Arcade Pro and was one of the first accessible ways for Americans to get a real Japanese style stick, so in my mind it has to be the most important collector's edition for a fighter ever!!
Based on that alone I’d have to agree! I’m blinded to that knowledge as a pad player 😆
And its quality wasnt great as far as I can tell. I got the Tekken 6 collectors edition for 60€ 10 years back.
@@AshPeace The RAP's were actually decent, the Tekken 6 stick on the other hand... I have it too and it's not a good stick by any means.
@@snipebp Can confirm on the RAP. Had an N Hayabusa I got for sfv and I just replaced it with a Nacon Daija. It served me well.
I saw it at Combo Breaker this year and I was SOOOOO tempted to get it, but I'll actually use the Quanba Obsidian 2 I got instead
LET'S GO INFINITY EGGS DISCUSSION
I've got Ebay on the other tab open it's over for all y'all!
Love the old MK behind the scene stuff. Wish they'd show more of that in their newer games XD
Same! the deadly alliance vid was one of my first looks on what game design even looked like back then
tf you doing here?!
Infinity Eggs... in a box. Just what every Marvel fan can't wait to buy.
Lol it's not like every Marvel fan didn't mind plastic Easter Eggs Gemstones over the Chaos Emeralds-looking ones anyway
My buddy and I, who are both fighting game fans, have found several Infinity Eggs at thrift stores, usually for under five bucks. We've made a running joke out of making a big deal about finding one, just to leave it on the shelf and walk on.
Haha that’s a pretty good gag ngl
I wanted the snk heroines collector's edition when it came out SO BAD even tho i knew i would never play the game i just really wanted that hat and the shermie pin lol
This was flat out entertaining! I'm glad to see someone put this much effort on a vid about fighting games 👏👏👏👏👏 Now I got a channel to binge👌
Thanks so much! I’m happy to hear you dug it 😁
That Soulcalibur VI steelbook never went off for me, but it did still break to the point where the announcer sounded like he was yammering on with gibberish.
Probably the fate of all those steelbooks
They should have just had the announcer talk when u opened the game case like those old birthday or thank you cards @@baberuthless
Soulcalibur gets the honor of first collector's edition you can waterboard.
Great video. Keep it up!

Such truth about the art books in the limited editions. You get so little and it’s worth throwing 40 bucks down for a deluxe art book.
I miss going into game shops and buying or preordering collectors editions. One of my favorites was assassins creed brotherhood codex edition that came with the assassin box, book and other goodies.
Can’t remember the last time any game collectors gave you a towel. Except I distinctly remember preordering Super Mario Sunshine at Toys R Us giving you a pretty large beach towel.
Damn well that’s probably one of the best pre order bonuses ever ngl
I never knew there was an exclusive dlc costume for Scorpion in MKX 😮
There are similar skin for sub and ermac, also the edition help funded the mkx tournament
I think the SF5 Ryu figure is cool for what it is, it's pretty detailed and at least you'll never be able to forget what game it's representing.
I had the Tekken 6 collectors edition that came with a sick white hoodie. I wore that EVERYWHERE.

@@baberuthless Oh absolutely, had to switch to character themes and change almost everyone's track for the best experience.
Thank you for the video Power Ranger Villain

I got that 25th anniversary Ryu statue at a swap meet at San Japan 2016, along w/the blackbelt
Ever since I bought a Halo Spartan action figure that broke its hand after 6 months, I knew that getting something else along with the game was a mistake. There's just no room to put these things unless you have dedicated space for it and even then you risk tripping and destroying them.
As a 3d animator, I am just happy getting to play with the 3d models in my hard drive than some immovable statue.
I main Sephiroth in Tekken too
