This is some of the best model work ive seen in a collectors box set. The mothership is outstanding. It even has USB lights for the bays which I was unaware of. The game itself is a continuation of 1 and 2, so of you wanted to know what happens after that, this is your ticket. And its a good story just as the first two were. The gameplay remains mostly the same except for small tweaks like the resource system. Which now uses controllers and collectors as single units. Makes online play more focused on combat, which is kinda nice for a change. Oh and that lithopane, its actually colored not just white, what you see in the product pic is what it actually is. And its good too.
I was lucky enough to see the 1 star reviews before the comment in them was taken down. These were someone who didnt look very closely and didnt see the product key (or threw it away), so they gave it a 1 star. Citing they didnt get 72 hours of early play because it wasnt included... Its in there. Look at your documents.
While nearly $200 USD is a good chunk of money in today's economy, what is included is very goid quality stuff and the game itself is (I cant believe im saying this having bee raised in 80's and 90's era game prices) is worth the $80 for the standalone game. And yes, the fleet command pack is included in here if youre looking at the Steam prices. Its also stable. As far as modern AAA release janky-ness goes, this has non of it. Its a fully baked game. Patches will come im sure, but no crashes or game breaking campaign bugs, or anything that ive seen so far in over 24 hours of play.
If you played 1 and 2, and are a fan of the series, yes, get it. You wont regret it. So happy with this thing.

In all it is a CE that really shows the pride and care the devs had for the game they made.

Would recommend to those who liked homeworld 1 & 2, but certainly not at full price. Wait till it's on sale.
For the actual stuff inside the Homeworld CE. The mothership is very detailed bit it IS plastic mostly so don't expect metal given the price. The other lil' guys (frigate and interceptors) have their own stands and would work great on a warhammer-esque tabletop. Mothership lights up and plays the warping hum that can only be found in Homeworld.
Other stuff in the box are nice little additions but again not worth the price tag. Playing cards are fully usable in place of real cards (the ships make up the card-art. So a 2 of clubs might be recon craft while the Jack is a battle cruiser. Each suit is its own faction).
Keychain is neither heavy nor lightweight... it's a keychain.
Artwork is standard poster paper, nothing amazing.
All-in-all not a bad little package for the revival of a sequel 20yrs after the last one. Still hard to justify the full cost... but it's still not bad.
*Note: To the reviewers complaining about the code for steam. It's on a slip of white paper with blue text. Easily dismissable as "junk" like ads and warranty cards that noone reads. I'll drop a pic. Also those of you confused how to get it open. Cut the paper band and open from the side like a book.
