Rockstar Games has announced a limited Goodtime State Vice City collection of goodies for Grand Theft Auto 6 that's ludicrously expensive - £349 - doesn't include a copy of the game, and is pre-orderable now.
That on its own is not especially remarkable but the package contains some items of dubious intent. The items are as follows:
- Macca the Gator figure
- Oakley Frogskins sunglasses
- Leonida Keys crossbody bag
- New Era 9FORTY snapback hat
- Macca the Gator magnetic mirror
- Chunkee the Manatee shot glass
- Vice City collectible swizzle spoon
- Vice City razor blade keychain
- Leonida Keys enamel pin set in metal tin
- Leonida Keys sticker pack in stash bag
- Double-Sided souvenir poster with map of Leonida
Three of those items in particular are peculiar. Combine the magnetic mirror, razor blade key chain, and swizzle spoon, and you have everything you need to prepare certain substances. Knowing the provocative nature of the GTA series, and the drug-related storylines it includes, this is presumably entirely intentional.
Naturally, though, Rockstar says nothing about it on its website, nor does it make any harmless jokes about them being used in this manner, either - though the mirror does apparently allow you to "Reflect on your life choices".
This is a pretty funny gag to include within a collector's package for an adult game based in Florida / Miami. Though that statue crocodile statue looks like a dandy little desk piece, one you wouldn't have to worry about your loved ones finding left around the house.
