You can buy Armored Core with a little mech for $230, but for near double the price they throw in a little house for him too-
Collector’s editions: They’ve burned me before, but still I keep coming back. Even with a magpie-like drive to collect tchotchkes and a love of FromSoftware, however, I couldn’t see myself dropping 230 clams on the collector’s edition of Armored Core 6, let alone four Benjamins and a cheeky Ulysses S Grant for the “Premium” skew.
