Would rather have the Normandy. Reapers are creepy looking.
Same here. Although a diecast replica of an assault rifle would be welcome too.

In a perfect world, my special uber edition would include the following:
A model of the Normandy SR2 that’s at least 8 inches long, very detailed and made of something other than cheap plastic. A nice display base would be great too. Lights on the Normandy or on the base to illuminate the ship would be great bonus as well. It also needs to be painted, not sure how I would feel about a solid metal all silver Normandy.
A detailed codex filled with as much info on the mass effect universe as possible. In the other forum someone suggested that it be an actual working e-reader type device that looks like the data pad from the game. That would very cool but also probably absurdly expensive so a great book might have to suffice. I think a phone/computer app with all that information on it would suffice as well and be the most inexpensive option.
Shepherd dog tags with or without battle damage.
Someone suggested a Normandy SR2 hat like the one Joker wears which I think would be great.
A poster map of the Mass effect universe with information on all the major locations.
All of this packaged inside a really nice, metal collector’s case made to look like something found in the mass effect universe.
I don’t really like the idea of a helmet, figures of the crew or gun replicas.
As for the helmet, well, it’s just a helmet and to make it even remotely desirable it would have to be wearable which it most likely wouldn’t be. It would have to be made really large with internal adjustments similar to what’s inside a bike helmet so that it could fit on anyone’s head. Also, I’m sure everyone would have chosen their favorite headwear in each game and I’m guessing not many people stuck with the original helmet.
The figures of the crew would have to be fairly detailed as well and of descent size, say around 10 inches tall at least. Plus, many people customize their shepherd’s appearance so why would they want a shepherd figure that doesn’t resemble their shepherd.
A gun replica, though cool, would also have to be a large size of 8 inches or more and finding a gun everyone would be happy with would be difficult. Everyone has their favorite.
Finally, all three of these ideas have already been done: The helmet with halo, the figures with halo and the gun with gears of war and other games. Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think anyone’s done a ship with a game before. The great thing about the Normandy is that there was no alternate ship to choose from, everyone had to use that ship in the games and so I think it would have the greatest appeal to the most gamers. And honestly, who could hate the Normandy, it’s an awesome ship.
Really the only other option for an included model that has about the same attachment to the ME universe would a Mass Relay. I mean without it travel in ME wouldn’t even be possible. Although if it were a Mass relay, I would like to see one of either two versions: a detailed painted model or if no expense was spared, a USB thumb drive shaped like a mass relay that when plugged in would light up and the rings would spin. You could also have the codex installed on the drive as well in electronic form.
Well, that’s my uber edition ideas, only time will tell if any are included in the actual edition.

The dog tags would be a good addition to the package!
In reference to the gun though, I think it would be quite easy to pick one. You need to look no further than the M-8 Avenger, it may not be everyone's favorite but it is THE iconic gun for mass effect.
My favorite gun, for both power and looks, is the M-96 Mattock, but you can't deny that the Avenger is Mass Effect.
Just my 2 copper.

I don't know if this has been suggested or not, but a mass relay pendant/necklace/amulet look be pretty cool.

Hey, BioWare and EA!
I guess you guys aren't listening, but there are a lot of people here who want a collector's/ultimate edition of ME3. We're willing and waiting to give you our money!
WHY haven't you started selling a special/collector's/ultimate edition of ME3? ME3 has been available for preorder for a while now. Give us a reason to preorder it!
You didn't start selling Dragon Age II without a special/collector's/ultimate edition, so why is ME3 getting the short end of the stick?
At this point, whatever the collector's edition is it better have some awesome extras/DLC.
Yes, I'm going to buy ME3. In fact, I'm going to buy it for BOTH the PC and XBox 360 (I'm crazy like that) ... but I will NOT preorder a standard version of any game. If you want me to hand over my cash for a game that isn't even available you have to sweeten the deal.
