Thanks to the folks at Polygon for pointing out that the Homeworld Remastered Collector’s Edition is now available for preorder on Amazon…for $99.99. Beyond remastered versions of Homeworld and Homeworld 2, you also get what’s in the picture above, which is:
An exclusive Pride of Hiigara Mothership replica, over 13″tall on an iconic Guidestone Replica base. Beautifully and meticulously crafted with hand-painted detail. Comes to life with USB-powered LEDs illuminating the ship’s engines, ports and bays.
Is it wrong that I want one? Really badly? Even though I’ve never been a huge Homeworld fan? ;) What about you guys?
I hope for shipping to Europe
Are you kidding, Brian? What geek would not want such a thing as a “Comes to life with USB-powered LEDs illuminating the ship’s engines, ports and bays” model of the Mothership? Can’t you see this in Sheldon’s Big Bang Theory apartment?? And having played the originals I’m really anticipating the upgraded visuals.
The Taiidan mothership was much prettier. I always played as those guys in Homeworld 1.
Long live the toaster!
Yeah, you guys are right, I should just pre-order the thing.
Well, being a huge HW fan I must say I’m quite tempted. However, there is little else known about the pre-order pack other that it will also contain an art book and an Angel Moon… something. I don’t know, but after that debacle with TES: Oblivion I can’t say that I’m tempted *enough*. Also, it really really rubs me the wrong way when I hear that GBX will “save some copies” for the international markets. WTF is wrong with those guys?!?
Anyway, I think I’ll pass on the figurine and just stick to the HD versions if and when I consider them actually improved over the originals.
well, even considering the replica it still is a steep price for such old (even though shiny game(s), being huge fan of it myself) games, they at least could have included Cataclysm as well
I know right? I wonder why they couldn’t get the rights to it…
