Let's see: Laser beams, check. Giant ships, Check. Explosions, check. I think that every single important part of Sins has been covered in the posters.

Quoting OddskiBoddski,
Just out of curiosoity, which is heavier? The Kol, or the steelbook case? 

Hmm, we haven't weight the final Kol yet (we don't have one), but I'd guess the Kol is heavier than the Steelbook.

Best guess at the moment is late August.

I've updated the OP, but a couple updates for everyone:

First:  I was incorrect on the poster sizes in the Collectors' Edition. They are actually 18"x26" (46cm x 66cm), not 16"x26" as I'd originally indicated.

Second: We've been able to get a better shipping rate for Canadian customers. If you've already pre-ordered, we've automatically updated you to the lower charge. This should save our neighbors to the north about $13 USD. We will continue to work on getting better shipping rates for everyone if we're able to.

First: Cool.

Second: Cooler. This will make a lot of people more happy. And more likely to buy.

 

Shucks, it's shipping late August now? I'll be back in school then and won't be able to get it for even longer! NoOoOoOoO! But that's the way the cookie crumbles, and it crumbles quite tastily.

I'n not complaining about #1. Bigger is better. And #2 is good for our Canadian brothers up north.

And yes, JB hi-fi will ship to the US from the land down under. But you still need Steam to play...

Will there be a standard version on disk in the future?  I do not want the collectors edition.

There is a physical version being sold in Australia and New Zealand, but it still requires Steam to run, so if you are trying to get out of that you are out of luck.

I rarely made a KOL when I played the game.  Any chance of making a Marza, Skirantra or even the Vas SB. Titans look like a good model as well.

Hmm, I finally got around to placing my order (I've posted in this thread a few times) and the price has gone up from 72 euro to 99. Seems to be from the shipping which has gone up to 42 euro from something like 32 a few weeks ago and the collector's has gone up to 56 from 48. 

 

Any idea what the situation is here? Error or there has been a change in price?

Odd...now I know it's not a massive price increase, but after logging in today the price of the collector's edition has gone up by less than a euro. 56 something to 57 something. Not complaining, but wondering if I place an order how much the collector's is going to increase before it ships?

Whatever price you order at will be locked in (not counting for currency value fluctuations). I don't know why you saw such a weird increase. You may want to email sales@stardock.com to confirm things. Shipping outside of the US should be a set amount.

This pretty much sums up my feelings on the CE.

It says you must have a copy of Rebellion registered with Stardock to be eligible for the upgrade.  How can that exist if you have to purchase via Steam?  Confusing

Quoting My Views and Muse,

On starting Rebellion I think you have to register the game with Stardock. They don't care where you bought it, they just want to know you got it somewhere so people don't waste their money thinking the collectors edition comes with a game key.

Well, I pray they can get that shipping cost down.  Collector's edition $86.  Shipping $64.  Youch.

Well, more shiny stuff to add to my collection I guess.

Are we getting an email when the CE ships and when we are billed?
