how will CE mini-standee look like?(question for anet staff)
JC68
well i read something about GC in Gaile´s Journal and there she mentioned she was giving away "mini-standees". My friend was there and he get one small paper picture of assassin. Is this how will mini-standee look like in CE Nightfall? First i thought it will be like plastic figure or something like that, because "GC ministandees" doesnt look like a big deal :/

That sounds right. Alex Weekes described it as a miniature version of the store standees.
So, uh, under-impressive, eh? No chance of a picture?
Here's the link to Alex's quote, last one:

Yet another case of someone expecting something that was not mentioned.

So I'm guessing it'll be something around 6"-12" tall that I could stand on top of my monitor or something? Sort of a random thing to put in a collectors edition or anything for that matter.
Anyone have any guesses as to what the standee will be of? If it's a fuller version of the pointing paragon on the CE box it'll be interesting because at that angle she's pointing she'll be pointing straight at my bathroom if I put her on top of my monitor :P

Shoot, I'm not even expecting 6". I was thinking 3 or 4. lol

I didnt even know it was coming with the CE, a new reason to support my paid-in-full reserve of it!

sometimes i forget that ANet does in fact read these forums.
I was being somewhat sarcastic, jumping on the bandwagon of some of the other posters. Hopefully I didnt offend someone with a big red button.
Whoever it is that does the art for the boxes, the website... all the non-game art... they are very good. I think its nice that ANet has enough respect for this lesser-known type of employee to showcase their work in a non-standard way.
Id still hope it is more than just a reprint of the box art-> Im already getting the box-art with my purchase :/
EDIT-> I think what Ruby was saying is that 90 is:
$70 CE +shipping
$5 presale+shipping
=
almost 90 bucks.
i got overnight shipping on my CE, so I basically paid 80 bucks for it.
But hey, I will enjoy every second of playing the very first day NF is online... and I will enjoy all the little toys that come with it.
Its really just a question of preference. Nothing wrong with NOT getting the CE-> and likewise there is nothing wrong WITH getting it. To each their own.

The final report from Leipzig on the Gw site included this pic with the Nika standee as well as another you can't quite make out:
The CE standee will likely be along the same lines but I would assume it will be a Nightfall character, or maybe they'll give us all Nikas.......

nice standee pic. Now at least we'll know how it looks.
JC68
i hope it wont be Nika (and Nika is my most favourite char so far) because they were throwing plenty of Nika mini-standees in GC => i want something special, something that no one has been able to get... maybe Dervish or (P)Arago(r)n 
Mr. G
If i could have a standee of any char it would be.....Lukas, he rocks - or better yet - Senji! I love senji hes like the greatest guy ever =D
Retribution X
I hope the standee Will be Retribution X...

I would think they would mention "special in-game content" or something or emote or whatever if they gonna offer it. Plus, when they released factions' info, they released the contents the same day. So hey I have my ears and eyes open but I'm worried nontheless.

so another thing that wont get taken out of the box like the crap stickers and mousemat in factions CE.
would rather not have cruddy fillers like this and get a few quid off to be honest, art book was nice though.
those standees do look rubbish and cheap, heres a tip, dont buy CE just print out a picture, cut it out and mount it on cardboard, instant CE standee.

Hmm small cardboard cutout isn't really all that big a deal. You can easily make one yourself lol just find appropriate picture, put it on some card... cut it out, and presto! "special" standee.

That standee thing is terrible - thx for the pic btw.
I know a lot of people were saying 'wtf am I going to do with stickers and a cloth picture' for the Factions CE but honestly I'd prefer a cloth picture over a crappy standee thing like that...
Their marketing/merchandise team is terrible ;_;

just keep the 'mini standee' safe from harm until you can sell it for 30 bucks on ebay.
its memorabilla-> unlike your actuall account, anet wont own the cardboard once you have it, so sell away!
Its like skill pins- i was gonna get some on ebay when i saw they were like $5, but a day after I bid it was already like $30 so I said forget it.
The CE will pay for itself if you work it right.
Personally, I enjoy whatever crap they throw in those things. If you dont like it, well theres always ebay
$30 skill pins
$10-20 standee (someone out there will buy it)
Another thing to look at is Amazons price for the original Strat Guide for GW1- even used ppl are selling it NP for $50-60 bucks even in crappy condition.
so, get it now for 13 and after you are done using it, sell it in a year for $50
Itll all pay for itself in the end. Thats my view.

"Hmmm...should I pay $10 for overnight shipping, or just walk across the street and get it for free?"
I usually end up driving over there...
