Surprisingly, the value of the GTA 6 Collector's Edition might not be as shocking as it looks.
I looked at the Rockstar Store and previous items they've sold over the years, and guessed that the contents of the GTA 6 box would separately be sold at:
* Macca the Gator figure ($40)
* Oakley Frogskins ($160)
* New Era snapback ($25)
* Magnetic mirror ($25)
* Vice City spoon ($20)
* Vice City Razor Blade keychain ($5)
* Leonida crossbody bag ($55)
* Shot glass ($15)
* 9 piece pin set in metal tin ($40)
* Sticker set ($10)
* Map of Leonida (used to be free with the games)
So you could probably argue there is $395 of products in this box, and the price kinda adds up. I still think it's crazy to not actually sell them separately, though.
