First of all, I was a little disappointed with the packaging. There is no special packaging to speak of. Instead, everything arrives in a plain, unmarked box. You would never know what was in it, if it weren't for the shipping label on the side. It looks like this is the exact box in which the set was shipped from the manufacturer to Amazon. Inside, there is an unmarked white box with the Slimer statue in it, the keychain, the puffy sticker sheet, and the game. It is just a normal copy of the game, sealed, with no special packaging. Check out the customer images, as I'll be putting up pics of the set (UPDATE: for some reason my pics won't show up, so you won't be able to find them unless Amazon gets the problem resolved). I see that Amazon is now offering a digital download of the Amazon.com Exclusive Slimer Edition Box Art. I didn't originally get this, but I e-mailed Amazon and they gave me a link to download it. It is just a PDF of special Amazon.com cover art, which you can print and slip into your game case, to make the game seem like a "special" edition. Now, on to the items.
Exclusive Ghostbusters Gamer Graffix Skins: Well, I'm not sure what makes these "skins". They are just a set of "puffy" stickers. You know, those stickers that are slightly raised and feel "puffy." When viewing Amazon's pictures, the picture that shows the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, Slimer, and the logo on a black background, is the sticker set. Each one of the images is a separate sticker.
Ecto1 Key Chain: This is sort of neat, but as stated by other reviewers, it DOES NOT light up. It just makes a noise. I was hoping it would play the theme song, or something, but instead it just makes the car's siren noise. So, the car itself is nice looking, but the noise is nothing special.
Slimer Bust: This makes the set, I'd say. The statue doesn't look all that great in the pictures, but it's actually nice in person. It is a pretty good size, with a nice, heavy base. All that holds the Slimer statue in place is a short pin, so the base needs to be pretty heavy to make sure it doesn't tip over. The statue is nicely detailed and would make for a good display item. According to the Certificate of Authenticity, only 6500 of these were made, though neither the statue nor the certificate are numbered. The statue includes a brochure for the makers of the statue, with a link to their website (search for their company, Solid Thought Corporation). You can check out their site and see whatever else they might be working on. It looks like they even designed a special box for the Slimer statue (you can find images of it in their blog), but for some reason it wasn't used. Too bad, since it looks nice.
I would say that the set is not worth the full $90. While the extras are nice, they're not THAT nice. If you can get it a bit cheaper, though, it's definitely worth it. I got it for $50 on sale. The extras are definitely better than those you get with other games (the Slimer statue is pretty cool), but they're also asking for a premium price.
