• Collectible Hobbe figure with accessories – From the Qee Collection comes this one-of-a-kind Hobbe figure. Nasty, brutish, and short, he roams the countryside, preying on travellers and spiriting away the children of the unwary.
• 48-hour Xbox LIVE Gold Trial Card – With Xbox LIVE Gold, players can show off their individual hero by inviting friends into their unique version of Albion or they can visit their friends’ Albion, and earn additional gold, experience and renown to take back into their own.

Isn’t it wonderful how the game was developed in England and yet it comes out in the US first? =(
Isn’t it funny how most games now have halo armour/weapons or some cameo from halo. Just ruins the game… I wanted the Collectors ed for the dungeon (as hobbes figurine and fate cards and exclusive box have now gone) and im forced with Master chief armour and sword. I dont even like Halo!
The halo armour doesnt look like the one above. looks like normal halo armour… *sigh*
