Earlier today, Rockstar Games announced a new $400 collector’s box for Grand Theft Auto 6 that doesn’t include the game, but does include a long list of Vice City-themed stuff including Oakley sunglasses, a shot glass, a vinyl statue, and more. Reactions to this $400 box of stuff have been all over the place, with a large portion of the GTA fanbase not feeling the cartoonish artwork and designs.
On Thursday, Rockstar opened up pre-orders for “Grand Theft Auto VI: The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection” box. It will arrive on November 19, alongside the game, and includes a bunch of merchandise and goodies, much of which is themed around a fictional TV show that players will likely be able to watch in-game. This includes a pink alligator statue, enamel pins themed around characters from the in-universe cartoon, and a double-sided poster featuring a map of Vice City and characters from the show. It’s a strange idea, considering no fans have seen the fake show yet, and the high price, cartoon characters, and lack of a game have made many in the GTA community quickly turn on this big $400 box of stuff.

“Bros come on, could’ve included the game at least for that price,” replied GTA modder Ash on Twitter to Rockstar’s reveal.
“Everything about GTA VI‘s marketing campaign feels like it’s tailor-made for people who finance everything on Kalshi,” said a Bluesky user.
“$400 for an ugly statue and some cheap hats and a shot glass and no game included is insane. Will pass,” replied another user on Twitter.
“This looks like shit and $400 with no game ? ARE WE JOKING?” posted someone else on social media.
