5th Edition Collector's Edition Revealed!

Come July, we will start seeing copies of the Warhammer 40,000 Fifth Edition Collector's Edition and Gamer's Edition books. Each edition will retail, according to what everyone is saying, at around ninety dollars.
Look at these! The Collector's Edition, shown first, is very nice. Is it worth the ninety dollar admition price? I don't know. Here is a picture. It appears to have a large fold-out cover, and of course the silver-touched pages and marker. Wether it's worth it or not, it is definitely a very handsome book.




Up next is a picture of the Gamer's Edition, which comes with some great counters and templates. It also comes in a metal box with a foam lining inside. Rumor has it that it can hold roughly a dozen or so miniatures comfortably. I really like the color of the templates and counters; they are quite Nurglesque. Notice the phrase on the side of the ammo-crate. I wonder, as someone over at The Bell of Lost Souls pointed out, how long it will take before we hear news of a plane being grounded when someone finds a passenger carrying a box that says "HAZARD: Danger of Pre-Detonation" on it.
