    I picked up 1 of these, I will admit to being very excited when I saw the size of the box, was even more excited when I thought it came with a USB key, was annoyed when the leg and arm of the model was broken :( bit of super glue and it's in my office now next to my light sabre :D

    Thanks op

    http://www.adverts.ie/other-consoles-games/star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic-collectors/2912440 :rolleyes:

    Are there any bonuses in this set that are worth picking it up for if you own the original ? (Can't access the website here at work)

    Damnable, was looking for one for ages and they show up in Galway when I'm back home. Imagine they'll be sold out by the time I get back tomorrow.

    Was in there earlier and didn't see one, but didn't ask as I don't really have any interest in it, so you never know...

    I could understand charging €20 for one but not €80, more than 7 times the cost is out of order.

    Want to swap user names seems mine may be more suited to you.

    Haha you caught John out there didnt you :pac:

    But I think people need to be honest on this thread. Anyone who saw this deal naturally googled it and saw the current going rate was €100. There was money to be made and everyone had the same idea on here. Sure you might keep one for yourself but there was €€€ signs all over these collectors editions.

    Johnf26 can't be only one who bought more than one. But Johnf26 was the one who posted this thread. Naturally he was going to place his order before sharing (we all would) But he did share with others.
    In the last 6 days, besides John's advert, there has been two ads going on adverts.ie - one asking a fair €40 and another guy giving a cock and bull story about how he wants to part with his edition for €100. Such is life.

    On a personal level I think asking 80 - 100 is 'risky' for these. Not only did gamestop.ie have these but so did game.co.uk for the same price. The game is going free to play so I reckon Bioware might be flooding the market with collectors editions.

    I rang the shop in Ennis and asked them to keep it for me, they did with no problem, why not try that in Galway as well?

    You know John, i've been on your side of making profit this whole time. But what you just said contradicts post #15 on here: :pac:

    got all 5 of my emails to lol

    Fair enough if you bought one originally on release, but now you're saying you didnt get 5 lol.
    in any case i'd sell on ebay. You are just going to get such low-ballers on your adverts.ie ad now. Such as it already stands "€10 offered. Seller pays postage" - get the hell outta that!!!!

    Appreciate it man but I called then just after I posted my comment and was told they were sold out. Tried the GameStop here (had forgotten it even existed) and as I was walking in the last three special editions were walking out with a guy who was telling his friend "I'll make a fortune on eBay".

    Maybe he calls making €20 profit each a "fortune", if even that. Game were selling them for £10 each in england, and apparently had a load of stock all over england, so wouldn't be that much demand for these anymore id say, coupled with the fact that the game is FTP now.
