"Exclusive Collector’s Edition Store"
So a store where only buyers of the Collector’s Edition can buy things? That sounds a bit fishy. As long as it's only cosmetic vanity "look at me i bought the collectors edition" stuff, it shouldn't be too bad.

Yeah, not to mention the price, something like 100 pounds? That's just ridiculous.

Everyone knows that Mouse droids were obviously the most fearsome of the star wars droids!

"HoloDancer: Project your own holographic dancer."

Only reason I would buy the pack (if there was an "exotic" option).
