Blame it on the Rifter...

When I first read about the EVE Second Decade Collector's Edition, I thought - I'll get it!

Then I read that it was $150.  Hmmm...  Maybe not.

But then, as the release date got closer, I rationalized, "I've been playing this game for almost 3 years and only paid for the first year (when I didn't know any better) - since then I haven't sent a penny to CCP because I've been financing my addiction, errr... passion with PLEX.  It's probably time to send some money to them."

And I thought, "Plus, what could be better than a rifter shaped usb hub?!!?!!"

So ordered it.  And I watched the tracking info as the package made it's way from Georgia (in the US) to Seattle - several days by truck.

But today the wait is over!  It's arrived.

I'm sure you've seen the CCP unboxing video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u4Lh_HGfuk  - opening the box here at home was pretty much the same...

Great stuff inside the box (I'm a board game fan too - so the Danger Game will be fun to break out with the gaming group on Wednesday night) and lots of in-game loot:
