TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection has a $150 physical collector’s box

How much money is too much money to drop on a limited edition game? Well, plenty of us are stoked about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, but are we “pay $150 for a collector’s edition” stoked? I can see the crowd dispersing already.

Konami showed off the TMNT collector’s box today across PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch and opened pre-orders at retailers like Best Buy and Target.

Priced at a steep $150, this limited edition release of TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection includes a physical copy of the game, a 16″ by 24″ cloth poster, a 4.5″ by 5″ layered acrylic diorama, five enamel pins, 12 translucent trading cards, and a 5.5″ by 8″ 180-page artbook with “a chapter dedicated to each of the 13 games in the compilation.” That said, the lack of a cool soundtrack inclusion in this set will be a deal-breaker for some fans.

Maybe you’ll just stick to the digital copy, but the allure of a physical version is pretty strong here given some of the beloved games in this compilation like Turtles in Time. Thankfully, there’s a standard edition, too — it’ll be available for $40. Among other retailers, Amazon is currently taking pre-orders for PS4, PS5, Xbox, and Switch.

My favorite part of all of this: someone asked about a possible Pizza Hut coupon in the game’s customer Q&A section on Amazon.

I see you, and I get you.
