I don't often buy collectors sets as they often contain cheap gaff to make it look good etc, but this one really does the job. Excellent case, great “bonus stuff” and really good quality, and for the price I paid a complete steal! thank mighty ape, you guys are awesome. 10/10

Prior to myself buying this C.E. Of Warhammer Space Marines, I called Mighty Ape to ask them to possibly reduce or beat the price of the Bolter Edition of the game that is available elsewhere. Now MA are not adverse to doing deals with cuustomers to keep everyone happy, but they told me that unfortunately they could not change anything in this case this purchase around for me. Well, still non-plussed I decided (C.E. Junkie that I be) to not cut my nose off to spite my face and to pay the extra for this edition over the competition's CE. Once the order arrived the next day, I fully understood where Ben and his product manager at MA were coming from on opening up the box it came in…Beautiful…I used to collect Games Workshop's magazine White Dwarf & still have the seminal issues 90–100. Evrything about the presentation of this very special edition speaks to me of games Workshops Warhammer 40K franchise. My jaw was dragging across the carpet agaped at the effort done making this CE. The Boxing reminds me of those RPG boardgames you buy in comic stores(and indeed in Games Workshop shops). On removing the inner box from its heavy slipcase one immediately sees that one is holding a huge gold-faux-foiled TOME that would do justice as any reverend's bible to sit on a stand and read from in church, indeed this tome effect reminds me of my very finest edition(of the many different edition that I collect)I own of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. The seal is a perfect rendering of a wax pressed stamped seal(the infamous throwing into the Thames of the Kings seal by an archbishop of Canterbury sprang to mind on first seeing this seal for some reason)that you see in Vatican library documents and various don't I look so official many stamped epistles that Henry the VIII so unsuccessfully tried to force on the already pressured pope in Rome for his divorce from Catherine for the sultry Anne Boleyn. Anyhoo, I divulge…The hardbacked coffee table size art book is stunning in it's conception, tho I caution not to delve too deeply into it until you get into the game a little in order not to ruin the story. The card were well made with usefull tips, tho I hazard a guess as to whu the box they come in is the usual deck of cards size, yet the cards are only two thirds filling said box. My only gripe is why TH- didn't put the Steelbook version that you get in the Bolter edition into this awesome package. The game disc came in the usual vanilla plastic box most games come in albeit with a Not To Be Sold Separately printed on the back. I guess TH- did not add the steelbook into this fine set, so the serious ADHD collectors will force their completist seeking aspect of themselves to buy THAT edition as well. Finally the cd soundtrack(no digital dl' thank the Machine God)sits very neatly tucked into it's alloted space. It was a pleasure being the first person to submit & enter the CD's name and tracklisting info into the server PS3 uses as cd info listings when one puts a cd on to play on the PS3. Very nice TH-, Thankyou MA(and happy third birthday as well Mightyape) for NOT giving me a discount as it was worth every penny paying full-price for this, epitome of what and how a Collector's Edition should look and feel and smell like.

Two words can describe this game, Ultimately Brutal. That is all.
