GTA VI Vice City Collection: a $399.99 collector's box. The game is not inside

Rockstar has opened pre-orders for a Grand Theft Auto VI collector's set. The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection costs $399.99, contains eleven items and does not include the game itself. One detail matters for buyers outside the US: Rockstar prices it in dollars on its European store pages too.

TL;DR

• Name: Grand Theft Auto VI: The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection

• $399.99, quoted in dollars even on European versions of the Rockstar Store

• The game is sold separately, and Rockstar states this plainly

• Eleven items, box dimensions 48.3 x 34.3 x 31.8 cm

• Ships on the game's launch day, 19 November 2026

• The product is not eligible for free shipping

• Adult collectibles, 18 and over

Why the price is in dollars

Worth starting here, because it is the first question any buyer outside the US will ask.

The Rockstar Store lists the set at $399.99, including on its European pages. There is no local-currency price, so the amount will be converted by your bank or payment provider, together with any currency conversion fee.

A second cost follows. Rockstar states explicitly that the product is not eligible for free shipping, and the box measures 48.3 by 34.3 by 31.8 centimetres, so delivery will not be trivial.

The final bill will therefore come in above the figure on the page. Work it out before ordering, not after.

What is in the box

Everything revolves around Macca the Gator, the star of a fictional hit TV show set in Leonida. Rockstar describes the set as all the essentials for a good time.

A Macca the Gator figure with an opening base that doubles as a stash compartment. Macca himself is smoking and drinking a bloody martini with a flamingo.

Oakley Frogskins sunglasses in matte black, with Prizm Sapphire lenses and a pink Vice City-style GTAVI logo.

A Leonida Keys crossbody bag in ripstop fabric, with a patterned black and pink lining, woven patches and a custom embossed YKK zipper pull.

A New Era 9FORTY A-Frame cap with an adjustable strap, embroidery and Vice City Leonida patches.

A magnetic mirror in electroplated pink glass, usable as a tray or hung as decor, with two large magnets on the back.

A Chunkee the Manatee shot glass with a laser-engraved Rockstar Games logo on the base.

A collectible Vice City swizzle spoon with a glazed embossed logo.

A Vice City razor blade keychain in metallic finish, embossed with the Vice City and GTAVI logos.

A set of nine enamel pins from Leonida Keys in a custom metal tin.

A pack of nine vinyl stickers from Leonida Keys in a stash bag.

A double-sided souvenir poster, with the Macca the Gator cast on the front and the full Leonida map on the reverse.

That last piece carries genuine practical value, since the map lets you plan your way around the game world.

The naming is not accidental

Rockstar chose its words carefully, and that is worth noticing.

The company calls this a Collector's Box rather than an edition of the game. The distinction gains weight when a product named Grand Theft Auto VI turns up without Grand Theft Auto VI inside.

On the store page, the list of eleven items ends with a note: the game is sold separately. Nobody can accuse Rockstar of hiding it, but the product name does its own work, as the online reaction shows.

The theme, and the warnings

The choice of items is not random. A figure with a stash compartment, a pink mirror, a razor blade keychain and a swizzle spoon add up to a clear nod to 1980s Miami aesthetics, with all the symbolism that carries.

Rockstar settles the matter itself in the safety information. The set is described as adult collectibles intended for those aged 18 and over, with warnings about choking hazards, small parts and sharp points and edges. It is not a toy and is unsuitable for children under three.

The product is also marked as fragile, which matters on an international shipment.

Dates and availability

Shipping falls on 19 November 2026, the game's launch day on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.

The set is available to pre-order while supplies last, in limited quantities. An earlier forum leak suggested a limit of one per person.

Rockstar has said that pre-order details for Asia, Latin America and Australia will follow, so check in the basket whether delivery to your address is available.

Is it worth it

The answer depends on what this purchase is for.

If you want the game, this is not the offer. For $399.99 you get merchandise only.

If you collect items from the series, the maths looks different. Oakley Frogskins sunglasses and a New Era cap are branded products that cost real money on their own, so the whole sum is not purely a fee for a logo.

If you are treating it as an investment, tread carefully. A limited run tends to push resale prices up, but on a launch of this scale the number of boxes released may be larger than the word "limited" suggests. Currency conversion and shipping costs also eat into any resale margin.

FAQ

Is the game included?

No. Rockstar states plainly that Grand Theft Auto VI is sold separately.

How much is it, and in what currency?

$399.99. European versions of the Rockstar Store also quote the price in dollars, so bank conversion applies.

When does it ship?

19 November 2026, the game's launch day.

Is shipping free?

No. Rockstar states explicitly that the product is not eligible for free shipping.

What are the box dimensions?

48.3 by 34.3 by 31.8 centimetres.

How many items does it contain?

Eleven, including the Macca the Gator figure with stash compartment, Oakley Frogskins sunglasses, a New Era cap, a crossbody bag, nine enamel pins, nine stickers and a double-sided poster with the Leonida map.

Is it suitable for children?

No. Rockstar labels it as adult collectibles for those aged 18 and over, with warnings about small parts and sharp edges.

In summary

This is one of those launches where the product name does more harm than good. A set called Grand Theft Auto VI, priced close to four hundred dollars, with no Grand Theft Auto VI inside, will provoke a reaction regardless of the contents' quality.

And the contents are not bad. Branded Oakley sunglasses, a New Era cap, nine enamel pins in a metal tin and a poster with the full game map would stand up as a merchandise set, were they not sold under a name that suggests an edition of the game.

Before buying, work out three things: the price after conversion, the cost of shipping a box nearly half a metre across, and whether delivery to your address is available at all.
