Too much stuff that I do not particularly care about. Not quite sure if the soundtrack on CD is worth $90 + shipping. If it’s even on a separate Audio CD … it just says Original Soundtrack + PC Game, so might as well be a DVD-ROM with some MP3s on it. Really on the fence about that one … ---

> [@Sushi](#): > > Wait - that is just an _expensive_ trick. The price is why I won’t buy the physical copy this time. I’ve backed the big(gest) Thimbleweed Park box and I own all Monkey Island boxes. But this time … I don’t know. IMHO 90 USD are too much for a game that’s “just another Monkey Island” game. (I’m still playing it, so maybe I will change my mind 😉 ). > [@Nor\_Treblig](#): > > [Sam & Max Hit the Road Collector’s Edition (PC)](https://limitedrungames.com/collections/retro-games/products/sam-max-hit-the-road-collectors-edition-pc) (looks were similar to my original box) I own most of the stuff in this Collector’s Edition. 😄 So I won’t buy it for 100 USD (plus shipping)! Similar is valid for the Loom box. ---

> [@Someone](#): > > IMHO 90 USD are too much My thoughts more or less, though I am also pretty sure if this was a Kickstarter reward tier, I’d be all like 'shut up and take my money!". Maybe the prospect of having something nice in the future is more enticing than having a questionable collectible of something that already exists. Though to be fair, the Collector’s Edition of Baldur’s Gate 3 is $250 + shipping, and it’s also just full of junk that’ll catch dust on a shelf. So $90 in comparison isn’t _that_ bad. Long story short, I guess for me the box is the collectible (and I like a physical copy of the soundtrack, too), but I’m no fan of statues, pins, trinkets, certificates and what have you. That certainly limits the price I could justify paying. I’ll rather spend those $90 on another LEGO set. Which will also collect dust on a shelf … 🤔 ---

> [@kaiman](#): > > though I am also pretty sure if this was a Kickstarter reward tier, I’d be all like 'shut up and take my money!". I’m not sure if I would have done the same. 🤔 I backed the TWP box, but not _everything_. But it depends on the project: I’ve backed the highest reward tiers when some of the rewards were very interesting in my opinion. If there would be a Monkey Island box with the essential stuff (like a manual and the soundtrack) for, let’s say, 50 USD, I would buy it. > [@kaiman](#): > > I’ll rather spend those $90 on another LEGO set.

I don’t know why, but I am rather conflicted. Buying the TWP box (after the Kickstarter) was a no-brainer, but the aura surrounding this new product seems a bit underwhelming and I’m not sure I want it. A friend of mine told me that I _had_ buy it because it is the MI game that provided the infamous answer about the “original secret,” but while I enjoyed the game I don’t feel as invested in the merchandise as I was for TWP. The diner’s tablemat and the page of Nickel News contributed to make me feel inside that world. A MI pin and a golden key don’t carry for me the same magic. I’ll give it some more thought… ---

> [@bongobrain](#): > > Tell em you already have the MI2 box 😉 You know, you made me think that this one would be my first boxed MI game. I’ve never been a collector of anything, in the past.

I won’t pay any price either. Not even for the best game of all time. Not sure, but isn’t it twice as much as the TWP standard box at Fangamer a few years ago? Unfortunately, this could turn out to be the only opportunity to get a physical copy of RtMI, apart from second hand. You never know before. So, I am conflicted as well. ---

I like the idea, but I agree with Kaiman, since the acquisition cost is pretty high. If you want to sell it even at a higher price in order to make enough profit, you might have to be very patient. Also, you won’t be the only offerer on ebay. ---
