C&C Spartan 300 Boxed Set . . box #300!!

Post by Tadhg »

WOOT to the boot!

Yep, I just secured a Spartan Boxed Set . . and it's number 300!!

A nice collectible methinks, maybe better than having box #1.

Hmm, might a great Hannukah gift for someone ~ like myself!!

[Thanks to our friend and Crusader, Turanil! ]

Enjoy the game!

C&C Spartan boxed set? What the heck is that?

And congrats. I think. lol

Edit: Oh, do you mean the little white box collector's edition? I've not heard it called that before.

The way you worded that (Spartan and "300") I was envisioning something with a half-naked Gerard Butler on the cover, underneath the words "Castles & Crusades!" Needless to say I was konfuzzled. ;)

That IS an awesome pick up Rhu. Very lucky Turanil was selling that bad boy!

The Spartan 300 were the first 300 copies of the Collector's Edition (white box), signed and numbered.

I've got #33 safe on my shelf and an un-numbered one for reading on my desk.
You're right, though, that #300 is a cool number to own. 8-)

You had to special order really early in the development process in order to get a numbered one. Playtesters got early dibs (I think).

If I recall, playtesters did get first crack and could specify a number they wanted, as long as it wasn't #1-#10. Those were reserved for important personages.

But I'm so important and the best I could do was #45? (j/k)
