It’s almost time for the Xbox One to be christened with its first new Halo game, and Microsoft is going all-out with the game’s launch. The company has never shied away from having crazy special editions for Halo games, with things like Master Chief helmet replicas and hand-painted figurines being offered with Halo’s $149.99 Legendary Editions, and Halo 5 won’t be an exception.

Microsoft is no stranger to crazy special editions for the Halo games, including the “Legendary Edition” for Halo 3, which came with a replica Master Chief helmet, and the limited editions for next month’s Halo 5: Guardians look as extravagant as anything we’ve seen from the series before. To celebrate the game’s impending launch, the publisher has released a video showing off the two goodie-packed bundles in exquisite detail. The “Limited Edition” of Halo 5: Guardians, which includes a steelbook, a packet of dossiers, the Halo: The Fall of Reach series, extra DLC, and a Metal Earth model, will cost $80, and executive producer Josh Holmes says that it was designed to look like it “came directly out of the Halo universe.” The Metal Earth model, like all other models from the line, must be assembled from several included metal sheets: the perfect thing to do while you wait for your game to install and download the inevitable day-1 update.
