I went with the standard. The deluxe has some cool bonuses, but nothing that I really, really want.

I bought the Standard edition. Though the stuff that comes with the Deluxe version is very cool, it isn't worth 23 euros to me (Either with shipping costs or more merchandise or the new Sam & Max).

If it's indeed lower and you do want to buy the deluxe edition, you can write to telltale to cancel your previous order and submit a new one.
Unfortunately, that doesn't work, 'cause if I choose the deluxe edition, I must pay full price, and because that's $50 it gives me free delivery. Anyone else from Norway in here that ordered the deluxe edition?

I ordered the standard edition. I decided I wanted other stuff, like the full set of tarot cards and the poster print, more than the Deluxe bonuses.

Actually, your Tarot set will always be one card short, because the Deluxe edition has a card that the Tarot set does not.

Oh man, this is going to gnaw at you forever. Whenever you'll look at your deck, you will not see the amazing artwork of the cards you have, but only feel the lack of that one card that would've made it complete. Any joy you could've had from the set will be drained by the lingering sense of missing something. I feel for you man...

That's why I ordered both the voodoo cards and the deluxe edition

I ordered the deluxe edition. Honestly, the map put me over the edge. Ooh, and the button...and the coin...and the coaster...and the card.

Oh, who am I kidding? I wanted everything, greedy as I am!

Just the standard. The extra stuff didn't really appeal to me.

Since the games are already on my harddrive I can't yet bring myself to spend $18 shipping just for a plastic case (even though it would be coming with the Purcell slipcover). I'll get it eventually, but I just can't justify the expense at the moment.

I thought the shipping to most countries was lowered from $18 to $16.75 but for now I still think its a bit too much. I thought they said something like that theyre going to fix the expensive shipping costs issue, but nothing has happened yet.

Bonnie helped me out and reset my order so I could get the Deluxe edition.... I was happy and did the Guybrush dance.

That was a weird place for a pretty obscure Futurama reference. I mean, maybe if it was called the luxury edition, but still.

Eh, close enough for me. There's always a place for an obscure Futurama reference. And I watched that episode yesterday.

...that, and I was curious to see if anyone would get the reference. You Win!

Deluxe Edition -- for Mac (it's both Win/Mac, so one of the options doesn't make sense)

I bought the Deluxe. Total came to $30.70 USD. That's $14.95 for the Deluxe stuff (cuz I'm a pre-orderer) plus shipping. It's ok. TTG is awesome enough.

I couldn't select any of the poll options, because I am going to buy it, but I'm waiting for my Paypal money transfer to go through so I can get $50 worth of merch to grab the free shipping. Should be tomorrow, or the next day!

So far, I've chosen to get Sam & Max Season 2 DVD, among the free ToMI DVD. I'm having trouble deciding one more item to buy to get it to $50. I've narrowed it down to either:
- Sam & Max Surfin' the Highway comics
- ToMI mug
- ToMI shirt
- Strongbad DVD

The Tales mug and shirt are just normal things with a logo on them. I generally don't think "stuff with logos on them" makes impressive merchandise.

The DVD contains mostly stuff from the site, and the DVD can be bought from the Homestar Runner site directly with their benefits and freebies.

The Surfin' the Highway comics are simply amazing. The book is beautiful, bound well, and the paper quality is good. It's obvious that a lot of love, care, and reverence came into the creation of this book. It's beautiful.
