Be still, my beating heart.
Capcom announced the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collector’s Set today, a package containing 25 years worth of Street Fighter history. 15 discs, a statue, a replica karate belt, and more will all be included in the package, releasing on September 18th for a cool 149.99.
The specific item list, straight from the Capcom press release:

That’s a ton of Street Fighter in one package. As a huge Street Fighter fan, I’m VERY tempted to give this set a loving home. What about you, fellow Street Fighters? Is $149.99 too much, or will you be Psycho Crushing the doors of your local store in September looking to buy it?
