I just got mine today in Australia. 3 weeks after release is too long to wait to start playing a multiplayer game and I really wish they sent out keys digitally on release day instead of in the box. I totally wouldn't have minded waiting for the physical stuff even longer then.
That being said, it was worth the wait. The books are top quality and look interesting to read, the statue is heavy and high quality and easily the best one I've gotten from a game. The map is nice and the whole lot was packed really well. I still got some crushing at the top corners of the display box but they definitely packed it well. Double layered 6 ply cardboard packaging is far better than most companies will give you, and the statue was packed in polystyrene on top of that. The box was 95% full and had packaging material in the gaps. As a courier myself I can safely say its far better packed than most stuff I see. The only way this is getting damaged is getting totally crushed by something much MUCH heavier, not general travel wear and tear.
Can anyone tell me if the cd key we get is a special collectors ed key or just standard edition?
