The fighting game community’s reaction to this news was swift, and ranged from simple amusement to outright frustration. Some publicly pondered their decision to preorder the pricey collector’s edition, while many more joked about how crappy the Infinity Stones looked compared to Capcom’s previous claims.

I recently received one of these expensive bundles, and it’s hard to argue with the criticisms. The statues Capcom included with the game seem decent, but the stones and the case they arrive in are cheap and look nothing like Capcom’s preview, even when backlit by the built-in LED lighting. The stones can’t be removed from the case.

We’ve reached out to Capcom for comment, but have yet to hear back. The promotional materials did say the package’s “contents may vary in select regions.” Maybe there’s a lucky someone out there in possession of Infinity Stones that more closely match Capcom’s $200 vision.
