So….my collectors edition arrived today. I have been waiting months for it and was super exited to finally get it. I carefully opened the outer cardboard protective layer and was presented with this:
Box is actually slighty nicer than the Kingmaker CE box but the graphics on the box are not as nice. Only a very slight tear on one of the corners (shown) but it doesn't really impact the overall look and feel of the box much. I can live with that as it is not suprising given it travelled across 8 countries and 10 airports to get to me.
Carefully opened the box and:
It looks like the statues head is not attached. I assumed it was like OS:2 and thought I would have to attach the head myself. Looks good so far.
Took the cloth map out and:
Holy shit! This is the biggest cloth map I have ever seen. Easy twice the size of the largest map in my collection (and I have a very large collection ). The finish of the cloth is good but not the best I have ever seen. Overall, a great map. The size is a little bit unwieldy though - it is more a blanket than a map
Now the piece de resistance - the statue!!!
Disaster!!! It's broken into 5 pieces…after all this time waiting.
I am heart broken but also deeply concerned. A closer look at the statue reveals it is so flimsy it wouldn't even survive being placed in a box. Some pieces are so thin and so poorly glued just touching it with the slightest touch would be sufficent to break the glue points.
It should of never passed an initial design review. The statue is made up of about 8 pieces which have been glued together. It has zero strength. The body and legs should of been a single piece. The wings should of been shipped detached and clipped on. The head should of either produced as one piece with the body as well or made a clip on like D:OS2 Fane statue. This statue is a f'ing joke. I will be highly suprised if/when my statue gets replaced it doesn't come with the same issues.
Also, it is missing the promised sticker pack.
WotR is the most expensive kickstarter/fig CE of any projects that have been funded. Unfortunately the overall quality just doesn't stack up. D:OS2 and Wasteland 3 are vastly superior at a significantly cheaper price (circa 30-40 dollars if I recall correctly). It is better than the Kingmaker CE but when you consider the price difference the value is questionable.
Without the broken/poorly designed statue I would of rated it 6/10 due to the poor value but I have to give it 3/10 with the broken statue. I suspect quite a few other people will also get broken statues as well.
