What is known about the SoaSE Rebellion CE

from Sins Forums

Hello, this is the thread where all the gathered information about the Collectors Edition for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion is posted.

Feel free to post new, credible information and I will do my best to update this thread as information becomes available. Credits to ImperatorPavel, Yarlen and Island Dog for most of this information. 

 

"There will be a resin Kol model with it.

It'll cost more than $50.

more than 1,000 will be produced.

Also, those who preordered will get first pick on the CE." - ImperatorPavel


"Considering the limited quantities, I think we'll probably e-mail the existing pre-order customers first and it'll be first-come, first-served. I'll post more details once we tie things down more.
It's resin, actually. Metal would have been very expensive (the model is quite large) and plastic seemed cheap to me.

Existing pre-order folks will get first dibs on Collector's Edition boxes while they last (we're not making very many) at cost. The plan is to make them each individually numbered too.

As a heads-up, because we won't have replacements, the plan is to ship the CE's out via FedEx. Those of you outside the U.S. should bear that in mind because shipping out of the country is ridiculous." - Yarlen

"If you live in Australia or New Zealand. Then you will be able to purchase a boxed copy from a retailer near you from our partner All Interactive Entertainment. Otherwise, all other boxed copies will be Collectors Edition." (paraphrased) - Yarlen

"I suspect the news will be e-mails sent to people when the time comes" - Island Dog

 

"You'll still have a chance at getting it, if those who preordered it didn't buy all of them before you can buy one." - ImperatorPavel

Yarlen directly responded to this statement with "What he said.", confirming that we won't have to preorder the game to get the Collectors Edition. 

 

To summarize so far:

More than 1,000 CE boxes will be produced

It will cost more than $50

There will be a resin-based Kol model with it

People who preordered will get first pack, the rest of the copies will be available for direct purchase.

Each CE box will be individually numbered

The CE boxes will be shipped with FedEx, the price you'll have to pay for shipping outside of the US will be a bit pricier.

One of the methods of which the CE will be announced is through emails of people who have preordered Rebellion.

Australians and New Zealanders will be able to get physical boxed copies that are just regular, all other countries will have CE boxes.

You will be able to purchase it directly instead of having to preorder the game beforehand.

 A quick preview of the resin-based prototype Kol model that comes with the CE, among a variety of other things. The official Kol model will be machine painted and look far more professional.

 

 

 

This is going to be a CE item, not the box art. Yarlen confirmed this in a Private Message to me which stated. "It's a CE item, but it's not the box itself :)". Art Book? Soundtrack cover? Poster? We'll just have to wait to find out.

bumping with some new info.

That's just the prototype Kol, not the box.  The actual outer packaging is looking pretty sexy, I think.

Whoops, didn't notice that mistype in the text below the picture. Thanks for the heads up.

Wait...you're saying the Kol is some kind of sex toy!?

Man, I did NOT want to know that.

bumping with some possible box-art to keep interests high.

Wait, pre-orders as in you got the beta, or you pre-ordered the CE?

beta

Reply #11 from Sins Forums Top

I like that. I am slightly confused as to the wording with the "People who preordered will get first pack, -the rest of the copies will be available for direct purchase- (Assumption)" Does this mean we get it discounted or complimentary?

Reply #12 from Sins Forums Top

Or just that no one else but us can buy it for a set amount of time?

This is correct.  Those who preordered will get first pick.  After a certain time, Stardock will start selling the Rebellion CEs that are left over somehow.

I get the feeling that the general public might get a bit of a sort shrift after us rebellion people are let loose.

bumping with the now confirmed statement that we will in fact be able to buy the Collectors Edition separately without having to preorder the game, for those of us who are going to be doing that.

This is all contingent on there 'being' any left over after those that pre-ordered were given a chance to purchase the CE first, correct?

In a nutshell, yes. However, there are going to be plenty of CE's produced and I highly doubt that everyone who preordered the game will upgrade to the CE, I'm pretty sure that there will be enough left over to satisfy plenty of people who didnt preorder the game.

[UPDATE] The second picture is not the Box art but is an item which will come with the CE. This was confirmed in a PM that Yarlen had sent me. The rest of the information is on the post.

Still working on calculating final pricing and setting up our internal store to handle FedEx shipping gang. Hoping to get this going in a few days *knock on wood*.  

We will be sending an email notice to all existing Rebellion pre-order customers when things go live so that you guys get a headstart on claiming the CE copies.  Assuming we don't sell out, we'll open up the CE's to all customers some time after that.

Can you please hold off on doing that til the 15th or later? I get paid on the 15th and I'd love not to miss out.
