Our take
The fan's 3D print directly challenges the value proposition of the $400 collector's box by offering a similar aesthetic for under $2. This highlights significant community frustration with Rockstar's decision to exclude a physical disc from the premium edition, turning a merchandise item into a vehicle for public criticism.
Background
Rockstar Games revealed a $400 Grand Theft Auto 6-themed collector’s box that does not include the game, but includes merch based on a fictional TV show found in the upcoming open-world game.
Some players are unhappy with the box’s contents, with many wanting a statue based on Jason and Lucia and more direct references to the Vice City seen in the game rather than a cartoon series.

Our read of the evidence
Mostly unverified. The only information comes from reports by a single outlet describing the fan’s upload and subsequent sharing, with no primary source confirming the details. The claim that the collector’s box remains available for pre‑order is also based solely on that same report. Because there is no independent verification or statement from the involved parties, the evidence remains largely unverified.
Our rating counts evidence, not opinions about anyone: events confirmed by a primary source (the person's own post, their official site, a court or government record) weigh most, then how many independent outlets report the story.
