Kollector’s version: Let’s jump to the next and also the most expensive one, Kollector’s edition. You have to spend $300 to avail this version and it comes with Steelcase and magnet, Kollector box, and a Scorpion Mask. I would recommend you to go for the standard and premium version as it is not a good idea to invest too much in a game.
