Guild Wars 2 is set to launch on August 28, 2012. With a month left to go before the official release it’s getting harder and harder for fans of the series to grab the official ‘Collector’s Edition’. 

 

The CE (shown on the right) is stocked with a wide-array of goodies including a 10-inch Figurine of Rytlock, a full 112-page Making of Guild Wars 2 book, the Best of Guild Wars 2 Soundtrack CD, an Art Portfolio and Five Art Prints with custom art frame.

 

Those are the “physical” items, you can also get digital items for use in the game. Those items are; the Summon Mistfire Wolf Elite Skill, Miniature Rytlock, Chalice of Glory, Tome of Influence, and Golem Banker.

 

All of this could be yours for the price of $149.99. The current demand for the Collector’s Edition has caused GameStop to run of stock. According to the official Twitter account of Guild Wars 2 which stated, “Gamestop is sold out of the #GW2 CE. Amazon and Frys still have a limited number. ~RB2″

 

There is only 4 weeks left before the official launch of the game, both retailers mention above have their own special promotion on the Collector’s Edition.
