Rumour is we are getting a choice of goggles by doing a quest on the planet close to the lava surface. They are intended to faciliate aiming, a bit like the arms on ROTW.
Sorry for those who are orfdering the Jap SE boxes.

This company for lack of a better way to say it, does your japneese shopping for you. You tell them exactly what you want, show them a picture, webpage, or just give them a detailed discription. Then they look for your item find your item and tell you how much it will cost you. They will send you a free estmate. Then you pay them Via paypal, internation money order, or western union. The money is sent in yen, This was very simple to do via paypal. For the Swg box they could not find an exact weight so they could not give me an exact price for shipping. Shipping is looking in the range of 20-30 dollars. I have recieved many PM's from people asking me to share my source. I did not wish to do that until today. I wanted to be 100% sure this would be a sure thing, I dislike sharing false infromation. I hope this will help the people with the desire to get this item.

heheh Bout three months ago, there was a lot of intrest in the japanesecollectores (commander) version. I amin japan, and did some resurch for some intrested parties. it never panned out, either with me wanting to buy a bunch and shipping them, or the stores I could find in Tokyo that sell them too ship them from sight. But about 2 weeks after the inital intrest I stumbled across a place that was selling them for like $55 us. they had BOXES of them, I mean like 20-30 casees of them. I haven't been back to that store in a month, but they were there a monthago, I thought about picking up the comanders version, but was unsure if I could use it with the digital update/ tottal experience TOO. I can look into it again if people are intrested. can't promis anything. but willing to give it a shot.
Along with haveing all the writen matierials in Japanese, there are a few publications, I assume they mirror the us versons matirials, as well as the head wear, but also, if I remember correctly 2 die-cast models of vehicles or fighters or something. you an send an ingame mail to Otica or Paradigm- on the bria server, or pm me here. I try to check in everyday. if not intrest no worries.
( YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE JAPANESE TO USE THE KEY or the SOFTWARE..it installs in english, or so I hear, if it was aclean install, though I assume, migth be wrong, that you can just register the key)

well the store I found them at still had about 5. I payed 6800jpy wich with current exchange rates was about $62.
I can report that simply registering a new key does work.
what you get with the Japanese collecters pack ( Commanders Pak)
Four game disks with printed pictures (Darthvader/melenium falcon,x-wing.slave one/Bobba fett/batter of endor)
two di-cast mineturs (z-95 headhunter) (Tie-defendor)
Art book From pencil to pixel ( japanese version)
3 head/eye wear
flash speeder
now what I could tell so far, what looks like a lazer sight does not actually ligth up. you can change the color of the optics on two of them, and the body color of one of them. they look very nice. once the key is registerd, any account on that key will have accsess to bother eye wear and the flash speeder.
so that is the skinny on the japanses collectors addition. all packasdged in a nice cardboard box.

The key can be added on to an existing account right?
I have the SE and the JTL preorder (Flash Speeder) already, I should be able to simply add the Japanese version onto it right?
Mine is in the mail

As i stated, I only tried it on my SWG:ED + JTL + ROW-Digital download account. it worked fine, though it was a little difficult to figure out the eye/head wear or the flash speeder. but once I knew teh commands, it was instantaniouse. If you bought the ALL In One version, I do not know how this would work, or if you already have the American/European collectors pak, if registering a NEW japanese collectors pak will work, or if you will simply gain the head wear and not loose teh BARC or FLASH( not an issue since you get another one) But you should be prepaird to flip keys around I guess its possible it wont take. I had no problums at all, but again I had the three modular installs of SWG. Owrse case is you register teh new key, it doesnt take, you can get back in game, and have to reinstall. BUT I dont think that will happen from my experience, though if you have teh Tottal Experience PAk, you migth suddenly NOT have a BARC..i guess.
to get th flashspeeder once in game type /flash ( you will get a mesage telling you that you have to pay 20000crds..but ONLY ON the first account you log into...my alt had one the back pack already)
to get the eye wear type /goggles make sure you have room for three items in your invitory. you can nto traderthe flash or GOGGLES..Ehhemmm.....but you can put the goggles down anywhere you want, and even destroy them..and jsut do the gogel command to get them back..or so I hear..do not hold me repsoible if this is not the case. good luck
those who sent pms, I iwl get back to you as soon as I have worked out a viable way to do it...maybe a few more days at the most.
