Tomb Raider (2013) Collectors Edition

Released March 5th 2013, The Tomb Raider Re-Boot is a very fun and great game. I thoroughly enjoyed both of my two play throughs (once on the Definitive version on the Xbox One), and look forward to playing Rise of the Tomb Raider, which I have yet to pickup.


I remember when I went to pre-order this game, I was still shopping at Gamestop at the time, and they had a pre-order bonus of an extra Tomb to raid. I go into my local Gamestop and go to the counter and ask to pre-order this game and the cashier asks "did you want the Regular or Collectors Edition?"

I thought to myself, collectors edition, what collectors edition? I didn't even know there was a collector's edition for this game. I looked at the cashier and said "Collectors Edition Please" The cashier stated that because the collectors edition was $100.00, that I had to put $25.00 down instead of the standard $5.00. I said "No Problem", and handed her the cash. Now at the time I was working 50-55 hours a week, making $15.00 and hour, with every minute over 40 being overtime, so could just blow a hundred bucks without much of a second thought. I miss those days............


Anyway, after I get back home, I had to hop online and see what the collectors edition included. So here we are, What's In The Box?

Slip cover off

Open the lid

And after removing the game tray

Came with an action figure with a couple extra hands and different weapons from the game.

Some patches

A poster, with a map of the island on the back side

A cool lithoigraph

And the soundtrack

There were a few store exclusives that I was able to procure, which I keep in my collectors edition.

A Steelbook from Target and a Comic Tomb Raider The Beginning from Best Buy



And all put back together with the steelbook in place of the standard case


And that is the Tomb Raider Collectors Edition
