Dude it doesnt matter. I dont know where you live but if you are in europe, you can buy it from game uk. I live in Cyprus and i cant get it here either but i have already pre-ordered it from there. its gonne be shipped like one day before release ant it takes around 7-10 days to reach here and the post is like 3 pounds or so. If you really want it u can do that and its pretty simple really.

As was stated above, you can buy it from one of the international versions of Amazon's websites and have it shipped internationally. Each country's Amazon site has its own warehouses. You will pay the international shipping charges but its not that much more than what CA is charging anyways so <shrug>.

I live in the US and have ordered items from Amazon UK and even Amazon Austria before.

Dude this collector's edition costs as much as my car's insurance for a year. For a toy mangonel and a map? Erm that's too much. This is half of the cost of a 4 day vacation at the seaside here in Bulgaria, eating at restaurants and sleeping in a cosy 3 star hotel. Hell, it's 1/3 the cost of a fully functional, battle-ready, high quality gladius!

Dude you had me really excited there. I thought that i could get a gladius for.300 £ but they are like 700 euros each. The game costs 110 pounds (which is still pretty expensive) thatz like 140 euros or.so eg. 1/6.of the price of the glaidus. I wish i had one though. They are so damn cool. Do you know if the customs within europe allow the imports of blades?

Collector's edition for a videogame that will have a new version in a couple of years? No thanks.

I bought it. First time I've ever purchased a game early. I always get a disc. This time I got the rest of the stuff. Not that big a deal. :)

I gave the link to Albion Europe on purpouse. Albion LLC in the USA will tear your skin off for shipping. These guys are in Poland I think. You can call them and bargain, but still my point was that the CE of RTW is too expensive.

I wouldn't it overlook buying it. in 2008 a fallout 3 collectors edition came out. The most valuable item that would compare to the catapult of this game was the pipboy 3000, which, if you've never played the game before, is a item that the protagonist wears that functions as an interface (change weapons, gathers information, fast travel, etc) . when the game came out the pip boy was seen as a pile of junk, see the first review on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Fallout-Amazon.../dp/B0017QFX30 . what people didn't know is that the pip boy would become a huge sought after and desirable item wanted by many. a glimpse at ebay and you can find one for 450$ (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fallout-3-Co...item35c70f6490). The difference between the collectors edition that didn't include the pip boy was 50$, so that basically means that this collectors item has gone from 50$ to 450$ in a matter of less then 5 years during a recession. not bad

i'm no economist, but seeing as there's only going to be 22,000 of these collectors edition rome total wars, you might be able to assume value will go up. maybe it won't - but i'd say this collectors edition is pretty neat and i'd like to own it either way. definitely coping.

I was tossing up whether to go for collectors, but I think pre-ordering/buying the game from steam is the best bet as well as receiving the Greek Cultures DLC which looks awesome.

I dunno, I think buying a game set as an investment is an iffy proposition. Maybe it will become valuable, maybe it won't; no way to make an informed decision.

Good reason to buy collector's edition: Because you want it.

Bad reason to buy collector's edition: Because you think you might make money.
