Should be 100 for what you get plus the profit for them at 65% for the items.
@@Thrakus in the early 2010s it was more like this for games.
Did you do the TMNT Cowabunga Collection Special Edition winner reveal yet Boss
🐢🍕🖖🏽
This is MY year of TMNT!
I met Kevin Eastman at Montreal ComicCon
2 x TMNT video games.
My wife bought ME a TMNT pizza maker
The Last Ronin
🇨🇦🐢🍕🖖🏽
Why would you pay 150 for the worst version?
The book is the best part. I don’t like this trend of doing acrylic figure cutouts instead of actual action figures or statues. Such a cheap move.
Yeah same here. They’re cool and stuff but not collectors edition worthy
Book looks small and it's not even hardcover tho
💯% true! This should have some damn figures in it for $150 too.
Man, an exclusive figure would be sick. They could have even included a random turtle per box too to make it even more hype.
Nail on the head, 110 extra dollars should buy a LOT more than that. The book should be hardcover, the acrylic art should be a real figurine, the playing cards are lame, the pins are...pins, there should be a soundtrack or something. There's so much missing from this for such a crazy price.
I bought one. If the game alone is $40, there’s no way the rest of the stuff is worth $110. I really wanted it because I’m such a fan of classic TMNT games, but if I could go back I would stick with the regular edition.
Yeah, let's add up the value of everything in this box (aside from the game) if it were purchased separately at retail: (approximately)
Cloth poster $15
Pin set $10
Collectible cards $10
Acrylic diorama: $15
Softcover art book $20
That's only $70 worth of product. (and I'm being generous)
Also, the cloth poster would possibly go for less, given it's small size compared to other cloth posters/flags, and the softcover small-sized art book would more likely be around $15 or less on Amazon.
So possibly less than $60 worth of value here.
Certainly not worth $110 imo.
If I were to get one, I would just keep it sealed and flip it later tbh.
Yeah I seem better special editions than that. $150, That's a rip off
@@ladynikkie I have seen CE that are far better for less then $150 ..
@@davetheimpaler204 very well said.
It's a blacklight poster homie
The problem is these things would be fine purchaseables on their own accord. But because they're tethered to a collection (a near 200 dollars collection!) They instantly become unexcessable to many.
Anyway you slice it, there is not $150 in value here, even as a huge TMNT fan.
That artbook does look awesome! But yeah, I decided way back when to just stick with the $40 version, as much as I wanted the artbook, I just can't justify spending nearly 4x the price of the base game for it.
I agree, I feel that the "correct" price for this would have been 80usd and not 150 :(
I wonder if the artbook will be sold seperately one day :P Must. have.
@@NeonPizza80s would be great cause i dont care about the rest of the stuff
@@NeonPizza80s was thinking the same thing but probably too small of a market for it.
I refuse to order stuff like this from Amazon because they ship expensive collectibles in bags and paper like you said. Boxed corners or worse every time. It blows my mind that the biggest online retailer in the world can't figure out how to ship things without damaging them.
Definitely a cool set. IDK that its worth $150 though, that seems like a stretch. With the base game being $40 I'd prob be at like $79.99 - $99.00 tops on this. And this is coming from a huge TMNT fan. I wouldn't necessarily be upset or disappointed if I bought this but $150 is definitely a little bit steep.
Totally agree one hundo tops
I think $120 if you loved all of it and wanted to frame the cloth and display the acrylic, pins, and cards... I'd top out near $90 though
$80 I might have bit $150 easy pass
Dude I just commented virtually the same thing. 🤙 Radical. It sucks that these were SO overpriced. The typical peeps are already trying to scalp them for way over $200 though and it’s making me wanna pick up that Amazon restock. Wtf is wrong with me.. ugh! 😑
This thing should not cost more than 79.99$ lets be honest, inflation definitely got this one which is sad. Cool trinkets and stuff but not at that price.
It's a sad state when most of the items in that collectors' edition look like something you could pull out of a cereal box or gumball machine back in the day. Might as well have thrown in a decoder ring and a connect-the-dots puzzle in for the hell of it. Outside of the book, companies really know how to capitalize off of nostalgia these days.
What I’m worried about is that companies could start making limited editions putting in 90% of stuff you’re not interested, making you pay a mad price for that 10% you really want
Lol that's what they already do.. 😂🤣
A lot of them already are doing that
Sounds like limited run games business model
So glad you did a review of this limited edition. I'm glad that I only pre-ordered the standard edition. What I think Konami should done is release a full sized hardcover edition of the art book and include the game as a package deal for $70 to $80.
I love that you open your stuff. I’m the same way. I hate the idea of sealed games and CE’s being a barrier to playing them and/or looking through the CE contents. I’ll be picking my TMNT CE tomorrow.
I don't think it was worth $150 maybe $80 - $100 the book definitely brings the most value 🤔
Truly thank you for this review! Honestly makes me feel satisfied that I only spent $40 instead $150. As much of a Turtle fan I am the collectors edition just doesn't seem worth spending that much on with what's inside
For 150 i’d get it if it came with an exclusive Neca figure along with some of that other stuff. Some of that is junk to me.
At 7:28 in the art book TMNT Turtles In Time Arcade it has a misprint/typo showing the release date as 1981, should be 1991. For $150 they should have better editors, I saw that right a way. 🤣
Your sacrifice was not in vain. Greatly 👍 appreciated, thank you!
No offense to those who love it, but the extra 110 dollars is not there in my opinion. They are gouging the crud out of fans. Maybe 50 extra bucks would have been more reasonable and still made them a profit. They made a greedy profit at the current price.
It's crazy how much these companies are charging these days. Gaming had become an expensive hobby. Even the $70 price of the average digital game is steep.
Nostalgia made me close my eyes and hand over my $150.....
Way too bloody expensive!
6:57 That Video Game Hand-eye coordination lol Nice catch buddy!
90 bucks tops. 150 is too damn high
Nice video, but this collection probably costs over double what it's worth. $150 is way too much.
I always buy just a copy of the game. I can save the extra money from not buying a collector's edition, & spend it on more games.
this is totally not worth $150, its nice, but should have been like $60 or $70
This is the exact kind of review i was searching for. Thank You!
My TMNT Van pin was broke before I opened the package. Also the art book has typos with release date for some games
Sorry about the pin.
Thanks for taking one for the team. Gonna skip this collection but will be picking up the stand alone game.
I bet that cloth poster is made from the same composite material they make with the new kind of shopping bags that you see in all the big box and grocery stores
I was absolutely stoked to pick mine up today. Preordered all the way back on 4/18. The art book alone is amazing!
Nah. Crazy overpriced.
Darn I was hoping my 12 year old would love to have this for a gift but the paperwork says not for kids 12 and under.
Reviews like this are why I enjoy this channel. One minute, this is garbage or has issues, next minute, joy that something was great. Tell it like it is, unlike other channels that think. everything is great and skimp over obvious flaws/shortcomings.
Appreciate it, i simply cant fake excitement or disappointment. You get who I really am here. I dont say everyone does this but I have seen plenty who skip over flaws that are obvious or just low quality type issues because they feel they have to justify their purchase to feel good about it or something.
I’ve obsessed over reliving my TMNT childhood over the last year, culminating in this collection. I’ve also spent about two grand on NECA Tmnt figs. :/
This should be a $100 TOPS. It could easily be 89.99 even but it’s got that turtles tax.
$150 was crazy at launch, but watch this go up in price (maybe) once this game is out of print. Japan delisted it recently.
I just got the regular edition for the Switch and am loving it. As somebody who isn't as good at gaming as I once was all the options like God mode and unlimited lives is such a treat this should be the example for all companies of how to do a retro collection it's amazing.
I’m waiting for Target to ship mime. I agree, could of been a bit cheaper. Still ordered it. Haha. Thanks for the video, just subbed!
I wasn’t actually excited for the acrylic standee at all until your video. I think it looks very nice (although, yes, like another person said, it would be nice to have actual figurines instead of flat facsimiles.) The poster’s definitely getting framed and put up on the wall behind my TMNT Arcade1UP cab. Frikkin’ sweet. Also, I paid about $135 for mine, so the value proposition is a little easier to swallow.
Is there a way to switch turtles when you die in the original arcade game?
not just talking about turtles but your collection is insane. nice job!!!
Thanks for your review. I thought about getting this Limited addition, but felt that the $150 price was too much for what you get. I’m glad I didn’t get it.
...just be thankful you got something , now we're going down the route of receive the game in or around the date of release then wait another month for 20 dollars worth of tat for 100 dollars to ship due to cop out reasons.
Just ordered mine
No way is that worth it. $60 to $70 max, anything more is ridiculous.
I ordered from Amazon and they sent it in a BAG. Plus there was NO ART BOOK! Is this something common?
I personally think that acrylic stand looks awesome!!
Bro i think it’s your voice that keeps me watching, I don’t know. Not the typical nerdy swag or something.
Dude, you sound like John C. Reilly. I kept thinking while watching this that I was somehow tapping into an alternate universe where Dale Doback had his own YT channel where he reviews collector's editions of 90's retro video games!
Thanks for doing the unboxing. I'm perfectly happy with the game by itself! I'll use the other $110 for God Of War Ragnarok and Gotham Knights!
Same, but GoW and Callisto Protocol!
Just ordered GOW I’m so excited for that I wanted to Gotham Knights statue but waited too long
Glad to hear your not using it to buy last of us part 1
For 150 bucks they should have given you some cool ninja turtles toys or if not full size four and a half inch figures, then maybe smaller figurines of the Turtles, Shredder, April, Splinter, Etc
You sound breathless ! Are you that excited by that collection or you had to rush to your door to get your package ? I'm teasing you, big fan of your content.
Dude Amazon shipped mine in a brown paper bag too. Dinged the corners and tore the cellophane. Ridiculous. Amazing needs to start offering a premium packaging up charge option if they’re not going to properly pack collectors/limited items.
Yeah, they use to ship everything in boxes. Now they are cutting cost any way they can while still making huge profits. I only order limited editions from Best Buy or Target.
I really appreciate you going through the contents and honest commentary. Some people drop the money on things like this and try to justify their purchase by saying it's perfect. Definitely not worth the price, but knowing me I would have probably bought it anyway given my love for the TNMT games had I known about this ahead of time (now it's $180 on amzn lol). Sometimes nostalgia overrides logic.
Out of all of the items in the package, I think I agree that the book came out the best. For the price, it should have been hardcover, but the book is still cool. The acrylic standee thing would be neat to display as well, but they could've made it out of a strong glass for that price lol. The cloth thing would be best served in a frame where you don't have to feel the material and get disappointed. We won't talk about the pins and trading cards....
Thanks again for a great video!
While not worth it, the poster being on cloth is a plus, because for the dragons lair collectors set, they put it on paper, the folded it about 6-8 times leaving white creases all over it. I was so upset because the dragons lair poster is my favorite video game poster ever. I sold the game set for about the same price I paid for it. It should have been rolled separately.
Now I like the look of everything but the price is to much I would probably pay £75 for it not £145
Damn I wouldn't mind getting this but I'm saving up for the Arcade1up NFL BLITZ cab...its a late birthday gift for myself
damn, that is nice, and here i am, debating if i should splurge $35 on the digital version since i am broke as heck.
My copy isn't here yet, but the material looks like the type of nylon fabric they use for baseball pennants - the feel is definitely weird, but they do print well. All-told, probably $120 if they were all sold separately, but I actually like the display (and I LOVE the art book), so I'm glad I've got mine coming.
Where can you buy this Limited Edition in Europe?
I appreciate the acrylic display set but it it's such a modern novelty that it takes away from the nostalgic factor of the whole package.
Paper pop-out stand as an alternative is impractical but it would've fit that era a little more, and may even reduce the price even if just a little.
Why does it say 'FURTLES' on the zeppelin pin?
I canceled my preorder a couple months ago and I'm glad I did. This looks like an $80 collection tops. I'll get the base game at some point when I get a chance.
I wonder if it's safe to iron out the cloth poster.
Great content as usual but must say we need more remastered games like the Simpson’s nba jam nfl blitz Daytona USA etc because it seems like restalgia is something many plp want to purchase
NFL Blitz is ruined as the NFL outlawed 20% of late hits for all new remakes.
Got the standard edition, loving this collection of classic turtles games on the PS4!
Collector's edition is over priced a bit. I like the artbook though.
That acrylic stand looks like a napkin holder! So there is that!
Just got mine, Amazon has them for 85 right now. Had one at my local GameStop and just did a price match.
How do I sign up for the giveaway?
For $150, I'm expecting at least a S.H figuarts-quality turtle figurine XD to be included. But oh well.
Just a turtles figurine, the game and an artbook would be good enough for me, for say, $70-80.
For 150$, they could at least include a steel book case for the game and a detailed figure. The Mc Donald's happy meal toys won't cut it for that price lol. The book and poster are ok I guess.
Is it possible to get the trophy or achievements by watching the games I wanna get TMNT NES out of the way my least favourite game
wasn't there supposed to be a pizza voucher and vhs case ?
You can still find it on amazon so it makes me wonder how limited is it?
The limited edition box art is fantastic. This set looks cool but not worth it for me. I would probably end up putting this stuff in a drawer since I don't have a gameroom or great space to display things right now. I'll get the standard but love the turtles!
This is the first collectors edition game I have ever purchased at release. As someone who grew up in the 80’s and with the Turtles, I had to have it. I’m happy with the contents, although its probably not worth $150. On another note, they need to fix the online modes. I know it’s only day 1 of release, but I found them unplayable at the moment
agreed 4 player is laggy asf
The acrylic looks neat but could have been better. The art book is nice but not worth $150.
The front acrylic piece is wider to make him seem like he's moving forward.
Would love to have that collection don't know where I can pick it up though I'm in Australia we don't seem to get the collection anymore the limited ones I should say But it is a very nice
Man, I want this for the game and book alone. But it's hard to justify when I get similar sets from Strictly Limited for less including shipping from europe
Still waiting for mine. Gamestop shows not shipping yet wtf
Those pins are really nice, but if you don't use pins, they're a waste. I would put them on my bag that I take to conventions.
Those tournament cards are pointless. They look well made, but what would anyone ever do with them? They won't even fit in standard, baseball card size sleeve for a trading card binder.
At least you can put the acrylic stand on a shelf with other collectables. I would want to cut the clear parts around the turtles closer to the artworks to make it pop a bit more. For $150, they should have done a tighter laser cut on that design.
Nice review, concise and honest
Gently iron from the back with a towel in between before framing. Sadly the last couple years the book would retail at 50. Not justifying anything. Just used to work in a comic shop.
Yeah that's why I went with the limited run of Shredder's Revenge. Way more value in their box. If they replace the cards with bust with say the Shredder duking it out with the bros and Splinter also in place of the plastic statue it would be better worth the bang for the buck.
they grabbed you playboy. I think I'll be getting the standard edition when it goes down to $20 on Black Friday. kept waiting for more items to come out of the box for that 150 price tag haha. don't feel too bad though I waited over a year for my castlevania collection from limited run and when it finally arrived recently I was terribly underwhelmed for my 175 purchase. cheapness to the max. I like that poster they gave in your edition as well but that fabric material is such a joke. lord forbid they actually use a nice stock paper and legitimate ink for their commissioned artwork they're making a killing on. plus doesn't the art (and the customer?) deserve a little more respect than that crappy cloth?
the whole thing is a grift and they have everyone by the gonads.. hope people stop giving in, but highly unlikely
Get it at $40 , you gotta support these kind of games
@@georgehernandez2156 nah Im good with pachinko maker Konami. These types of collections always go on sale anyway I think they'll be fine. Not like they're not making money at $20 on 30 plus year old games as well which everyone else can emulate anywhere for free already
why acrylic cutting ?, they should put small figure or even better amiibo
How the hell would I know? I can't even pay my bills on time 😂
Not worth it i would have felt good at $100
Great video really enjoyed the unboxing
And the unboxing was free lol i just got the standard $40 copy wall mart did me good
I didn't know those ice cream figures existed that you have in your collection. I feel I need one so I'll def be getting one. I had zero interest in this collector edition, everything always seems like lootcrate trash. I ordered the regular version that Target just shipped out.
I got a physical copy for $25 over the Holidays, thats about all I was willing to pay for the experience, and I was a huge TMNT fan growing up.
I was gonna get the Limited Editon one but I didn't have enough, instead just bought the game only I was so excited how the game turned out plus it's compatible on the SNES online controllers. My brother and I beaten Turtles in Time (SNES) lots of times.
LOVE the Eastman artwork dude is a literal god ALSO IDW TMNT is the best comic series available today for ALL ages
150$ that’s a pretty hefty price tag But I do agree that art book is sweet…
I ordered the PS5 version from Best Buy. I’m picking it up tomorrow because I’ve been too lazy to go get it but I’m more PS than anything else. I haven’t touched the switch since MLB The Show came out when I actually got a switch.
If you pay 40 bucks for the game that means you're paying $110 more for the stuff in the Box it doesn't really look like it's worth it plus they sell that book at chapters for $19.99 and I don't think the rest of the stuff looks like it's worth 90 bucks
I'm beyond glad I got the Limited edition!
I was about to get this but I’m glad i watched your video. I feel this could of been priced at $120 and it would of been a little bit better but $150 plus tax is a little too much. The game is priced well tho for 40-50 bucks
Cool review but glad I got the standard version. The art book is cool and since I like snes tournament fighters, I would like those cards as well. Everything else, I’m good without lol
TMNT The Cowabunga Collection is on sale right now for 69.99 on woot. I picked it up, but i expect it to drop even further.
