UPDATE: UK fans can now get the tin as a bonus with the game at Amazon. Thanks to Thomas for the heads up!
It appears the Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games Collector’s Edition revealed for Spain last month actually contains a lot more than just the steel tin shown on the box image SEGA Spain released. EB Games Australia is now listing it, except under the name ‘Limited Edition’ instead of ‘Collector’s Edition’.
The retailer has shared the above image of all of the item’s you get with this edition of the game, which include a steel tin, a poster, a t-shirt, a notebook and a carry bag. All of this is available to pre-order and purchase for $88 AU, which is just $10 AU more than the standard game on its own. It’s also worth noting that this set of goodies is exclusive to EB Games in Australia. It will also be made available in Spain, but we’ve not seen it up for pre-order yet.

I belive it better to pre-order it from Gamestation (due to glich/bug at GAME Website that show incorrect address “even the address detils are correct it still show invaild address (I worder it been fix?)”
please igorge that one -incorrct spelling- ^^;
GAME and GameStation are part of the same group.
Probably might be worth informing them though if they’ve not spotted it
I believe it better to pre-order it from Gamestation (due to glitch/bug at GAME Website that show incorrect address “even the address details are correct it still show invalid address (I warder it been fix?)”
I think I’d rather have a T-shirt than a “T-shit” XD
I already have the note book, don’t worry, it’s not that great.
i live in australia and ive already ordered it 🙂
I’ll be in Australia around then.. who wants in?
Just kidding 😛 I think I leave Australia on the 17th…
Guess that means New Zealand get it too since we get all the Australian releases. I’ll have to pop in to my local EBGames and place a preorder.
God damn, is the US EVER gonna get a special sonic thing because this is freaking ridiculous
I said it before and I’ll say it again.
Wheres the love Sega, Wheres the love?
*hangs head in shame*
so this is only for spain and austriala can i buy from spain im from ireland so will it be in english
No retailers in Spain are listing this yet, so without knowing the retailer, we don’t know if you’ll be able to ship it from there to other countries yet. Australia is a PAL region, just like Ireland and the game will definitely be in English there, so your best to order from EB Games Australia.
They do ship overseas, but their site says:
“If an order is placed outside of Australia or is placed using a credit card with a billing address outside of Australia then it is considered an overseas transaction.
We retain the right to either approve or deny any overseas transaction at our discretion.
All orders placed undergo an internal order verification process. During this process an order may be approved or denied at our discretion.”
Try your luck and see if they accept your order. I’d imagine the above text is just legal crap.

surely the uk will get this they are for course the host of the 2012 games
We’ll have to wait and see. Right now we’ve only seen the GAME Group (GAME, Gamestation and Gameplay) offering the t-shirt.
Does anyone know how to contact Sega? I think someone (if needed myself) should contact sega and ask them if Sonic Generations is region locked or not. I think that would take a big load off all of the importers’ backs
Your best bet is through their Twitter @SEGA.
Damn it. I forked out $100 for Winter Olympics just so I could get the badges that came with it, and havent touched it since.. So I really dont know whether its worth pre-ordering :/
…Am I the only one who forgot COMPLETELY about this game due to all the Generations hype? XD
that’s cool. i hope the us gets something like that
This is the second time I’ve seen a special coloured Wii Case! 😀
New Super Mario Bros Wii – Red
Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympics – Yellow
Now we need is a Blue! XD

Oh man, I already preordered Sonic Gen which I only have to pay another 70 dollars off of. GRAH!
