Large and bulky like the mutated heroes of the game itself, the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine collector’s edition could easily take down your average Ork. Let’s take a peek inside.
I blanked on the price during the recording of the video, which is just as well, as I never would have guessed this was a $US99.99 collector’s edition ($US79.99 on PC). It’s nice to look at and smells wonderful, but I’m not convinced it’s $US100 worth of wonderful.
What do you think?

Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 6:51 AMYour review stinks of 40kNewbie and Heresy, Fahey.
“Adeptus Astartes” – Space Marine 101, Faux-Latin for “Adepts of the Stars”. “Ad-ept-oos, Ass-tar-tees”
Secondly, it’s not a Goblin, it’s a Gretchin. A stunted sub-species of Ork.

Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 9:24 AMI did consider flagging that, until I realised that anyone who is reduced to a dribbling “Bla Bla Bla” upon seeing the word “Astartes” is probably beyond help where 40k is concerned.

Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 10:40 PMGood to know that an editor’s disinterested, casual unboxing of a franchise he knows nothing about is enough to incite your little sperglord meltdown.
All because he identified a little green thing in a game as a ‘goblin’ and flubbed a word.

then again kotaku does seem perpetually disinterested in gaming beyond mining it for mario references they can use for hipster nerd cred.

Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 9:39 AMProbably the most poorly filmed unboxing i have ever had the displeasure of watching.

Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 10:15 AMYa pro tip: keep the camera perpendicular to what you are filming. The angle shot was making me tilt my head…

Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 7:57 PMThe collectors edition is kind of stupid, it doesn’t even come with any preorder-only DLC like if you buy the regular version from gamestop etc…
