Something like that, anything more then a pet and a skin for mako
So you'd be able to just buy it and not earn it?

IT he like 5 things on it and not one of them is any good.

Really I mean the statue is cool I guess but what did we really get? It was a real waste of money and Im bitter about that. Just wanted to vent
I TOTALLY AGREE.

For what we spent, we should get our pick of top end items etc.

We were promised a *regularly updated* vendor with unique items.

I feel cheated as well.

Define "Regularly updated"?

To me, regularly updated could be just whenever they feel like it. Regularly doesn't have a defined time frame.

Soo... I wanted to be very special snow flake but I'm not and now it suxx... I trashed $150 and cannot even brag with cool stuff.

that's why I always check what CE involves and what gives. 99% cases I pass on CE since it's all meaningless gadgets that are given for a way too overpriced deal.

I hear what the OP is saying. We got some very cool in box additions in the CE. However, one thing that won me over to spending the extra dough was the fact that we were going to have a special vendor that would be updated from time to time. I guess I just kept thinking about my experience in FFXI. And the guys that got a lot of really nice gear from going to special events and special editions of the game. This has not happened in SWTOR so far.

I too bought the CE. We all agree that we would have unique appearances for our companions. Each class has 6 different companions.

I want different appearances for all my companions. Including the ships droid. Adding these I would consider regular updating. Even if it was just two appearances a month. (In my opinion they should have held back from the already dozens of created appearances for companion.

But if they institute a barber shop for characters. I hope they do it for the companions as well. That way we can chose what we want our companions to look like.

What should be noted is the word "dynamic" in the description of the CE vendor assortment. We were promised that this shop will have new items appearing there over time and all! Where are they?! I only noticed stupid taunta pet for 200k (!!!) appearing there after 1.2. We should be given some more exclusive adaptive gear and social items to distinguish ourselves from other and show off our VIP status. Perhaps a special, moddable PvP armor (expensive, legacy prices) that would also require certain amount of valor?
