Collector’s Edition!

[h2]Comrades![/h2]

With great pride and joy, we announce the creation of the special Contraband Police Collector’s Edition, which you can order starting today. For us, it is a symbolic culmination of seven years of work on a project into which we pour our hearts and tremendous effort every single day.

Every item included in this unique edition has been carefully designed and thoughtfully crafted by our team. All components were produced with the highest attention to detail and quality - just like Contraband Police itself.

[h2]Collector’s Edition Contents:[/h2]

[h3]Contraband Police + Crimson Fall DLC (Steam PC)[/h3]
The box includes two separate code cards.


[h3]Hand-painted figurine of the border checkpoint commander[/h3]
A solid and highly detailed collectible measuring 20 × 18 × 5 cm. A perfect decoration for the desk of any loyal officer of the Acaristan Border Guard.


[h3]Printed Duty Handbook[/h3]
An 88-page handbook taken straight from the game, featuring a leather cover and metal corners. It allows you to study the world of Contraband Police away from the keyboard - just like a real officer on duty.


[h3]Map of the Karikatka Region[/h3]
An isometric 30 × 42 cm map based on the in-game road map, complete with location descriptions. It looks great on a wall and adds atmosphere to any player’s quarters.


[h3]Flag of the Acaristan People’s Republic[/h3]
A fabric flag measuring 114 × 73 cm, made from authentic material, traditionally displayed in front of government buildings on November 20th to celebrate the victory of the Great Peasants’ Revolution. A mandatory item for any patriotic outpost.


[h3]Contraband Police Magnet[/h3]
Perfect for a fridge or metal board. If you still have some empty space - problem solved.


[h3]Exclusive Player Quarters (digital content)[/h3]
A special version of the highest player-quarters upgrade, available only in the base game. A charming house in the folk style of the Karikatka region - the only one of its kind in all of Acaristan.
