When will Vancouver (Canada) get more Collector's Edition..>?

When, when, when?!

February 17, 2008 7:55:34 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
Maybe if I show up to Ironclad Games in Vancouver, they can sell me a copy. I've been to my local Futureshops and EB Games, but they all said that they've ran out and currently do not know when they'll get more of the Collector's Edition in. Any ideas? I am from North Van.

I'm not aware of any stores in Canada stocking the Collector's Edition. But if anyone would be to know when they will get stock in, it should be the stores themselves.

As far as I know, there are no Canadian retailers selling the Collector's Edition.  Amazon.com is selling it, however.

Oh wow. Last night I dreamt that I went to Ironclad here in Vancouver and asked for the CE edition.

Here. Store link at the top of the page.

Well I actually want the retail version, since I want the physical version of the soundtrack and the poster..

You can order the CE edition box which will be mailed to you with $20 shipping and handling. It will take a while to get though, but you will have access to the digital download within 10 minutes of buying the game online. The download is about 1 gig.

Yeah, I want the soundtrack in PHYSICAL CD form, and I want the rest in physical form too. PDF's don't do justice.

So has it been confirmed that Canada doesn't carry the Collector's Edition?

As the guy above just told you, if you order the game from stardock, you can get the physical box, they just charge you shipping and handling. Said physical box carries the hard coppies your looking for.

If you order online you have the option to have ALL the physical items mailed to you.
There is a good chance that a Canadian Retailer will be carrying the CE box in near future, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

ALL? Including the soundtrack CD, Case, Box case, and the poster(s)? I thought they only send you back the Game Box, and the rest you need to download.

Sigh... Canada gets shafted, again. Just like the prices are higher than in the US, even though our dollar is on par or HIGHER than the US dollar at the moment. It's like people forget we even exist sometimes.

Craig, the problem with buying online is the SHIPPING, which is HIGHER for Canada than it is for the US. I understand that you're based in the states, but I also hope you can understand that it is very irritating that we have the option of paying an extra 50% for shipping for the CE or buying at around an extra 15-20% for non-CE even though our dollar equals yours. I just said screw it and went for digital download, it being the only way I didn't get screwed.

Whaaaaa?! You're based in Vancouver?! I am visiting as soon as my term is done! Holy crap!

Teach me to do my research, why dontcha

My apologies. I am assuming boxing and such actually occurs in the States, though, to explain why it is shipping from there?

The rest of it was made available for download, but all the goodies are in the physical box as well. This way, those that pre-ordered the digital version of the game get their collectors edition goodies as well.

yea...i live in canada too...

the mail man brought the package yesterday (20 feb) and its « carton pack list » says that the ship date was 7 feb : 20-7 = 13 days !

it was not 'cause of canada customs : this time, they let the package slip in without charging their outrageous $ 5 processing fee + federal tax + provincial tax !!!!

but 2 things struck me as weird :

-- the box was a little big : it did not fit in our mailbox (we receive games by mail that have been inserted in smaller, tighter packages)

-- it cost $ 8.80 of « US postage INTL first-class » !!! woa...somebody at stardock has a lot of money to throw away ! we've received games from the US before by mail, and it never cost more than about $ 6 in postage (canada is not australia : was it necessary to spend so much cash to mail canadian neighbours a game ?!) (it's not a complaint : stardock is the loser here)
