Tomb Raider Underworld Ultimate Fan Pack

Lara Croft has always been gaming's ultimate collector's icon, and the Tomb Raider Underworld Ultimate Fan Pack on PlayStation 3 earns its name. Exclusive to EB Games in Australia and New Zealand, this pack bundles the game with a Lara Croft figurine, a 2009 Lara Croft calendar, a Tomb Raider t-shirt, a trucker cap, and a messenger bag. It's less a collector's edition and more a Tomb Raider lifestyle kit.

The figurine is the anchor piece, a detailed sculpt of Lara in her Underworld gear that holds its own against dedicated statue lines. But the real collector appeal here is the regional exclusivity. Australia and New Zealand only, through a single retailer, for a limited window in 2008.

That's the kind of scarcity that turns a good CE into a great one. The t-shirt, cap, and messenger bag transform you into a walking advertisement for the franchise, which is exactly the kind of dedication our community respects. Underworld itself represented Crystal Dynamics pushing the series toward grander, more mythological territory, with levels spanning everything from the Mediterranean to the Arctic.

Most of these Ultimate Fan Packs have been broken up and sold piecemeal over the years, making a complete, boxed set increasingly rare. If you spot one intact, don't hesitate.
