Disillusioned Fans Slam $300 Tomb Raider Remastered Collector’s Edition Figurines
With fans waiting for a new Tomb Raider game since Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Aspyr and Saber Interactive’s remastered 1-3 and 4-6 series were meant to offer a nostalgic experience. However, these releases have been met with a series of disappointments. Since the release of the Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered games in February of last year, numerous issues have surfaced, including problems with the Shadow of the Tomb Raider remaster, a controversial AI patch, the legal troubles of one composer, and a problematic trophy list. Now, the Collector’s Edition of Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered has become a source of further controversy. Fans eagerly anticipated this $300 bundle (shipping included). After almost eight months and two delays from Limited Run Games, however, fans are finding the figures fall far short of expectations. The quality of the figure, with its poor painting and blurred features, has drawn criticism, with fans claiming it lacks the iconic sex appeal of Lara Croft, despite promises from Limited Run Games. Fans are flooding social media with complaints, with some comparing the figure unfavorably to the retro skins from 2007’s Tomb Raider Anniversary.
Collector’s Edition Fans Raise Concern Over Price Difference Between Limited Run Games and Tomb Raider Gear Store Figurines
Adding insult to injury, Limited Run Games has barely started shipping the Collector’s Edition, but the figure is already available on the Tomb Raider Gear Store for $70.95 (plus shipping). Although currently out of stock, this lower price has led fans to speculate that Limited Run Games inflated the initial price. Limited Run Games hasn’t commented. While the other items in the Collector’s Edition appear to be satisfactory, fans are still expressing their anger over the perceived mistreatment.
