![[NEW UPDATE] Limited Edition of Sonic Classic Collection Confirmed for Spain, Australia Only](https://archive.sonicstadium.org/wp-content/themes/sonicstadium/substyles/global/generic-hero.png)
Not only is Spain getting different boxart (here’s the U.S. version), it’s also getting a special edition! The special edition of Sonic Classic Collection will come in a tin case. In addition to the game, players will receive 5 illustrations (boxart for Sonic 3, Sonic Chaos and a pair of Sonic Screen Saver images) and a classic Sonic figurine. If only the Sonic on the boxart could follow suit.
Will this super cool package come to the rest of Europe and/or the U.S.? Who knows.

UPDATE 2: AAUK has confirmed at the Sonic City Blognik that this limited edition of Sonic Classic Collection will ONLY be for Spain and Australia.
Why those two countries? I don’t know. It is what it is.
Does it even matter? I bought the Ratchet and Clank Trilogy boxset for PS2 from Portugal, and apart from the box being in Portuguese, the games themselves are still in English.
So long as there’s a language option, you SHOULD be able to import it. Bit strange that Sonic Chaos artwork’s being used for the postcards though, when it’s not even on the game, haha.
It’d be more convenient if I didn’t have to order it from Spain. That’s why it matters.
I like how you have a small, barely visable picture of the US box art.
I’m kinda interested in getting this.
Meh, I have enough Sonic artwork. And I got that figurine for Christmas.
I still want this though. But, alas, I can’t.
Release this in the UK, pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease…
Yes, im Spanish!!! This is gonna be awesome!!!
Releasing it in the U.S. would be great too!
Personally, I actually prefer the USA boxart…
Do want a rest-of-Europe release.
Green Hill Zone background > generic blue checkerboard background
I prefer the US one as well…….
Le están llegando muchos regalitos a los españoles 😛
That made me wonder if there is a spanish comunity over there…
@Brad Flick – I didn’t intend to sound narky or anything, so I apologise off the bat if I’d come across as such.
I do appreciate that it’d be better if the Special Edition is released in territories other than Spain, and I would find it even stranger if it didn’t find it’s way Stateside, as it’s certainly a good method of getting sales for the game in.
All I was saying was that it’s not as if the game was region locked, thus making it a Spanish exclusive that nobody else would be able to get their hands on.
Again, I do apologise if the tone of my first comment was misinterpreted. It wasn’t my intention to sound argumentative.
Well, check out my update. Now, you can import it from Australia.
Wow I just realized that Sega is trying to get the first 3 sonic games out to the children so they can be persuaded into buying the 4th.
Now THAT’s smart
Yo, SEGA, get this out in the UK please!

Awesome sauce. I don’t care how many copies of the same game I have as long as I can get that figure
$58 for all that is quite cheap too.
