A cat knocked it off the back of one of my display shelves a few years ago. It's in a hard to reach place so I just left it. It's still there.

The plastic trinkets never interested me, but the art book and comic look pretty nice (and don't take up as much space...) . Nothing worth the asking price, though.

I did enjoy some of the pieces but alas, like TerminX said, they felt cheap. I still have mine though ready to display alongside my other Duke stuff once I have a place to put them out. The bust I would say was the most disappointing thing. I thought it was neat at the time but the more I had it the less I was impressed. I would have thought for the price I paid it would've been a bigger bust. There were other limited editions that had much larger statues and such for around the same price.
In the end, I knew since I was waiting all those years for DNF like everyone else I knew off the 3DR boards that I would get whatever limited edition nonsense that came out. It was THE game that I waited for and for all those years of waiting it was coming out. I couldn't pass on the BoS.

Yep, the Halo 3 Legendary Edition had a 1:1 Master Chief helmet which looked amazing and the Gears of War 3 Epic Edition had a huge bulky 12" statue of Marcus
It's very not cool that Gearbox/Runny Shitfart/whoever chose to cheap out to such a ridiculous extent
A good special edition would've been a Duke statue in the same pose as the Duke 3D boxart, an artbook showing in detail the creation of the game (a good one not just crappy concept art) and a red vest with the nuke symbol on the front

If they had that much taste they would have made a non-terrible box art for the game...

True. I never cared that much for the original "prototype" DNF cover from back in the day with his smug smirk, but at least it had some style. I guess any hope for good covers died when the industry replaced painted covers with CGI renders.

Just LMAO @ the deck of cards not even being a full deck.
Should've been named the "Shit Sandwich" edition.
The review embargo to prevent word getting around that the 360 port was garbage was super unethical too. The IP is in the hands of some real assholes.

It's better in some ways, but I just love laughing at Britbongistan for being such pussies that the original cover was offensive.

As for the book, that would certainly explain the empty space at the back of the box filled with a cardboard insert. I'm baffled.

Here's the box art differences.

Duke looks like a dork in both versions, but at least he doesn't look as fucking smug in the edited one.
Still, that cover art is hideous and possibly the single worst thing about DNF.
