After the collector's PS5 controllers, the vinyls and the announcement of the official soundtrack, Rockstar Games keeps proving it's flooring it down the GTA 6 marketing motorway. The Scottish studio has just opened the first pre-orders for merch around its game and, as the chef's surprise, there's a huge collector's box going for 400 euros. Time to raid the savings, bro.
Head over to the official Rockstar Games — and by extension GTA 6 — site and you'll find some sixty collectables. There's a bit of everything: clothing, accessories, collector's pieces inspired by Vice City and the world of Leonida, but it's the "The Goodtime State Vice City Collection" box that really caught our eye. Priced at 400€ (fine, 399.99€), the set comes in an imposing lacquered black box bearing the Vice City Leonida logo on top and that famous "VI" in Roman numerals on the front. Inside, there's a run of exclusive items, starting with a figure of Macca the Gator, the iconic character from Leonida's fictional show, standing around 15cm tall. The alligator is posed with a cigarette and a red martini in hand, while the base unscrews to hide a few other small items. Subtle, that.
The other headline piece is the pair of Oakley Frogskins sunglasses, done in matte black with Prizm Sapphire lenses and a pink GTA VI logo inspired by Vice City. Then there's this flashy cap, nicely in keeping with the Miami vibe — for which Rockstar Games teamed up with New Era to get the thing properly customised. Its name? The 9FORTY A-Frame cap, Vice City / Leonida styling.
See you later, alligator
That's not all: there's also a pink glass Macca the Gator magnetic mirror, which doubles as a tray or can be hung up thanks to its built-in magnets. There's a cocktail spoon engraved with the Vice City and Rockstar Games logos, plus a shot glass sporting Chunkee the manatee. The studio throws in a Leonida Keys ripstop shoulder bag (it's a bum bag, really), with a black and pink lining, woven patches and a custom YKK zip. There's also a metal keyring shaped like a razor blade, decorated with the GTA VI and Vice City logos. A Rockstar Games merch classic — the studio has already slapped those blades on plenty of t-shirts. "If you know, you know."
For pin badge fans like us, there are nine Leonida Keys enamel pins gathered in a metal tin, while a set of nine vinyl stickers lets you fly the Leonida colours on a laptop, a water bottle or anything else. And finally, what would a collector's set be without the obligatory poster? GTA 6 gets one, double-sided and dedicated to Leonida. One side carries an illustration of Vice City and the characters of the fictional show starring Macca the Gator (him again, naturally). The other shows the full map of the state of Leonida. Handy for getting your bearings mid-game.
The 'The Goodtime State Vice City Collection' box is available to pre-order right now from the official Rockstar Games store, while stocks last, obviously. The set is priced at 399.99€, with shipping to France coming in at around 21€. One for the well-off — and for anyone on minimum wage who isn't scared of going overdrawn by the 15th.
