Deluxe Edition arrived - Thanks Telltale!
Just thought I'd let you guys know that my Deluxe edition pack for Jurassic Park arrived today in the post 
And I wasn't expecting it to arrive so soon - the estimated delivery time was 3-4 weeks to the UK, and it arrived on my doorstep in just two! The box itself looked a little worn and scuffed from transit in the corners, but the seal keeping it closed was untouched. And the contents inside were utterly divine! I'm especially loving the JP staff patch and security pass. They were so well made that I'm tempted to use them in making a JP employee fancy dress costume some time in the new year. You also did a bang-up job with the replica brochure and handbook; I'd even go far enough to say that I'd rather have your replica brochure than an actual one from the film, considering the fact that theirs only had generic stock photographs instead of pictures of the park itself. And then, of course, there's the game itself in it's lovely deluxe packaging. I confess, I didn't like the look of it at first when I saw it in the store. But now that I've seen it for myself, it looks brilliant - I don't know what cover you'll have in mind for the regular edition, but obviously it won't look anywhere near as nice as this. All in all, you've done a brilliant job not just with the game, but with the deluxe edition pack as well. I've never seen anyone develop a game so faithfully to a film since Ubisoft's King Kong. Telltale, I tip my hat to you for all the effort you've put into Jurassic Park (and of course, Back to the Future).
Thank you, and well done!

As for the mailing goes: I know people are decidedly torn on the shipping-it-in-the-box thing, but (for what its worth) we thought the idea of receiving an actual new hire kit from InGen in the post was really cool (instead of receiving a double packaged pristine replica of one). We knew they'd get a bit scuffed by the postal service, but the intent was to make it feel more authentic, not less. I know that's not for everybody but I love it (disclaimer: I had nothing to do with the deluxe editions, I was just a fan who saw one come through the post and look like it fell right out of an alternate universe and got excited.)
When you put it that way, I can see what you mean
Like I said before, I'm very pleased with how both the game and the Deluxe pack have turned out. Apart from Back to the Future, this was the first game I bought from Telltale (BTTF was the 1st as a digital download, but Jurassic Park counts 1st as a Deluxe Edition), and I could definitely see myself buying more from them in future
