I got an email from Larian this morning, with some disappointing news. I ordered the CE as soon as I knew it was available (Sept. 12th, 2022), so I think I was pretty early in the queue.

We’re reaching out to let you know your order of Baldur’s Gate 3 Collector’s Edition will be arriving 2-4 weeks after its expected delivery date of August 31. We apologise for this delay and thank you for your patience!

I was sad to get this email on August 30 when I was expecting delivery August 31 (tomorrow). I got an email and confirmed my delivery address on August 11th, so assumed everything was on track.

Has anyone else physically received their CE yet? Anyone else get an email with an expected delivery date? Anyone else get this email or something similar?

    You guys have the PC or PS5 collectors edition? I would assure you don’t need it to play the game.

      PC Collectors Edition. Yeah, I’ve been playing the game since release (early access, really), they did send out the Steam codes at PC release. This was early compared to when they originally said the game would release and CE would ship. I just want my (expensive) goodies!

          Each Collector’s Edition contains a digital copy of the game, a custom sticker sheet, a 25cm Mind Flayer vs. Drow battle diorama, a 160-page hardcover art book, a cloth map of Faerûn, a set of D&D-inspired origin character sheets, a metal tadpole keyring, a Magic: The Gathering booster pack, a custom-engraved metal d20 based on the dice from Baldur’s Gate 3, and a certificate of authenticity, all within a mind-flayer-inspired collector’s box.

          I like your username, by the way. I assume it’s a Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad reference; or maybe you’re just blessed with an awesome coincidence of a real name.

            Thank!!! x2

            I am now jealous I didn’t get one but I also didn’t know I was going to like the game this much. Get my wallet is safe hehe

            And yea. Over on Reddit I had an account with my name on it and sort of regretted it sometimes. Here I went with a subtle reference to one of my favorite TV Shows.

            Btw not sure if you saw the discussion post that I created yesterday. I wanted to tag the mods but unfortunately the apps are still lacking a bit in that regard. If you agree would you mind sticking it to top of the community? I can create a new one every couple of days or once a week, but if it’s pinned it stays relevant for longer.
