Way better than the first one since there's no open mouth costume, i'm loving the suits! All of them look pretty good. Im just hoping that for the third pack, they'll add Floyd Pepper cus I REALLY want his guitar >.<"2011-12-12 22:42:00

Maybe it's because I'm not a Muppet fan, but for me these pack are a serious disgrace.
Buying them for the sake of completion is a self stab at my heart and pocket

I wonder if that butt-chin piece is separate...
It would be Qwarktastic (http://en.ratchet-galaxy.com/images/rac3/personnages/Qwark.png)!

They look great, really they do. I especially love Miss Piggy. And I'm oh-so thankful there are no hideous face-in-mouth costumes this time round (*cough* KERMIT *cough* I mean really, how do you mess up the most iconic muppet?!). However, there is one thing I'm a little peeved about... Those of us that bought the Collector's Edition (or pre-ordered from...Amazon, I believe?) already own Gonzo, so it seems a bit...greedy of Mm (or Sony, or whoever is responsible for these packs now) to release a costume pack including him with the full $5.99 price tag.

It would be nice if on the PS store they gave a discount for buying the pack because you already own one of the characters. Or if, like for the Toy Story Alien, he was a separate thing entirely. But alas, doesn't look like either of those things are happening. I know it's a small gripe, and I'll admit I'll probably end up purchasing these anyway, but it wasn't very nice. And I know I can purchase the others separately at $1.99 a piece but if you add it up, you're still paying nearly $6 dollars for three costumes.

The collector's edition officially has Clu as the only exclusive in-game item now (people who pre-ordered from Gamestop also received a code for it anyway), and Anon from the actual Tron pack easily trumps it.





On the bright side, I've learned a valuable lesson from this experience: when a pre-order/collector's edition is advertised to have 'exclusive content' it can easily be translated to 'exclusive-until-we-feel-like-releasing-it-for-the-world-to-have-at-a-later-date content'.

Speaking of rants...

Personally I think the 'pre-order at store X' is stupid. I don't think it actually benefits me as a consumer to pre-order anything. The actual game is not limited, and it won't sell out so what's the point?

It's a collectors edition rarity but you cant sell it later so it's not worth anything, and it actually hurts my purchasing decision. A game launches and there are three options of a 'cool extra'. You can only have one of them though and after that; too bad. Wait a second... Which one is cooler?

I can't tell, well not until I play the game and then I 'miss out'.

Considering that a company WANTS you to pre-order because it means guaranteed 'day-one' sales why limit my decision?

By the way, is anyone else reminded of Count Olaf from A Series Of Unfortunate Events?

Surprisingly, these costumes, while iconic seem to open up some possibilities. A lot of the elements appear fairly generic. The suits and dress especially. That does depend on how they are packaged though.2011-12-13 22:16:00

Completely agree. Which is why LBP2 will be my first and last pre-order of any game, ever. The only reason I did it in the first place was to get the so called 'exclusive content'. Had I known they were going to release it later, I wouldn't have bothered.

Oh well, not much I can do about it now.

Just got the costumes. There great! :3 all of their eyes are stand-alone parts, that was really nice.

Most exclusive content for games means it's only exclusive for a limited time. most games do this and have for ages. and IMHO it's fair. because how fair would it be if someone who was not able to preorder a game wanted the costumes badly, like maybe one of them is a fave character of theirs or something. but they would never be able to get it? nope. that's not fair at all to them people, and it's selfish of people to want any content to be rare and stay exclusive forever IMHO. I Preordered this game knowing sooner or later they would put them out for everyone. I simply payed to have a handful of content before everyone else. that's fair enough if you ask me. *mew

I think you may have misunderstood my point. I'm not saying they shouldn't release the content for other people to have, but they shouldn't make people who already own it pay full price for it at a later date. I had never pre-ordered anything before LBP2 and never will again, for any game no matter what they advertise as exclusive content. Now that I know that exclusive doesn't necessarily mean unobtainable, there's no reason for pre-orders or collectors editions and the like. If they had told us before hand that Ratchet and Clank and Jak and Daxter were going to be released later, I would have forgone the collector's edition altogether. Like Rocksteady told everyone that all of the Arkham City pre-order bonuses would be released later.

What about the prize crown, week one shirts for both games, the star cap, bug blaster, and beta vest? Those are all rare and/or exclusive, so you're saying those things should be available for everyone also? Unfortunately it's not about what's fair and what people want, it's about what makes companies money.

I just found out from LBP2 blog that there's a $0.04 discount if you already own Gonzo...lol.

P.S. I didn't mean for my little rant to cause an argument, but apparently that's what happened. :

What argument? I simply said what i think on the matter as did you. I been in many arguments. this is not one of them far as I see it. And do I think stuff like the crown should not be exclusive? yes I do think that. costumes are creating tools/Art for me. I don't care about something being rare. i just want what i find is useful. but then again people do need something to win from contests. but i think a costume that could be useful for something else should not be it. *mew

Glad it's not an argument. Didn't want one.

Anyway I agree those things should be available to everyone, but like I said it's all about what makes these companies (not just Mm and Sony) money. Unfortunately, they have no reason to release free items like the prize crown and bug blaster to everyone because they aren't getting anything out of it.

Anyone notice it said 'Miss Piggy Shoes'? The dress is so long you can't see them... I'm guessing they'll be pink?2011-12-14 02:08:00

I would bet something like this (http://inofashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Miss-Piggy-Shoes--560x371.png).
The heels were shorter on the real life muppet (I think), and that would make them easier to implement in LBP.

Where are the item/costume part descriptions?

Yes, this is a pretty good pack. Miss Piggy has some great parts Gonzo is pretty decent too. Waldorf and Slater have some versatility but I would have liked the suit to be separate.2011-12-15 11:01:00

<RANT>
I got the Collector's Edition(I even pre-ordered it), and loved all the exclusive stuff. Unlike the rest of the stuff, the Even More Animals was advertised as "Get this cool DLC before anyone else!". So, I messed around a bit. Then, the Rachet and Clank DLC came along. I had the European Collector's Ed, so I didn't have that. Then, Jak and Daxter, then eventually, they started releasing my DLC! I got angry, and now my only exclusive DLC is Clu, which isn't even that good or useful. So, from now on, I'll be careful of "Exclusive" DLC. But I shouldn't have to. People with the Collector's Editions or who got a Pre-order Bonus that was released later on should get some special thing that no-one else has. That would redeem Sony in my eyes. Anyway, enough ranting...
P.S. I don't think $0.04 is enough of a discount, especially as that's only about ?0.02 or ?0.03 here. Sony, I am disappoint.
</RANT>

I think these costumes are cool.

IMHO, the exclusive thing about the collector's edition should have been the bookstands, but they messed up with the european version.2011-12-18 14:46:00

Far too expensive, I now refuse to pay ?5 for four virtual costumes. A level kit is a different thing, but ?5 for costumes?

They do look good, but the price is laughable.

I just had a look on the store in LBP2 and since I already had the Gonzo costume, it's selling me the rest of the pack at a discounted price...

Just thought I'd point this out for other people

Yeah you select the pack and it's only three costumes. And has the pirce for three you go to buy and it adds gonzo and the extra cost. Wasn't really paying attention to the dollar amounts to be honest though.2011-12-19 06:53:00
