Some sort of Steelseries Mousepad with the BG logo on it would be neat. But I would be content with the game and the soundtrack already. The map on cloth would be pretty cool though.
I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer here, but doesn't the printing/fabricating of all of this extraneous stuff make it LESS likely that we'll get a boxed edition? What about the people that just want a physical copy of the game for when Beamdog goes out of business 15 years down the road (just a hypothetical)? Hope there's not a thread for this already, but I was redirected here from a similar discussion.
@Smaug Well a thread entitled "Show some love for a boxed edition" was closed for being too similar to this one, so I think that this is where all support for any boxed edition should go. As for all the extra stuff being requested, I doubt that it will actually discourage the creation of a boxed edition. As far as I can tell the team has very little interest in creating a non-special/collector's edition physical copy of this game, which is why this thread is focusing on the limited edition idea. Either way, putting your support here for any physical copy of the game can only increase the chances of it being made. The team won't end up including everything that's requested obviously, so these posts just serve to show that a lot of people want a boxed copy of the game.

A physical copy definitely has my support in any form. However, if the devs are sold on only a special edition physical copy, I just worry that they might decide not to do it at all b/c they don't want to disappoint fans who have such high expectations for what is going to be in the box. Having said that, I will throw my weight in with the die-cast figurine crowd.
Just the fact that you guys are working on my favorite game of all time, I don't really need anything. I still would laugh though if there was a montaron statuette with an angry and frustrated face. I might take that for a good laugh.
For a special (physical) copy of the game. The game needs to be on disc. A bonus soundtrack CD + cloth map should be included. That is more than enough considering all the licensing issues you get into with the more things you want to include (figurines, USB copies etc.)
The Boo plushie thing is starting to gather a significant number of supporters - it started out as a joke and is ending up as something the devs will have to seriously consider =D
@Excalibur The latest from Trent Oster: "Boxed product negotiations are stalled. We're trying to get it moving, but no recent movement.” For a while he’s talked about trying, so whilst its definitely not confirmed there won’t be a boxed edition its looking like its becoming difficult, from previous tweets it seems as though we probably won’t be getting a boxed edition at the time of the game’s release. But I wouldn’t say the idea of a boxed edition is completely closed just yet.

game and the soundtrack already. The map on cloth would be pretty cool though.
But please.. if you make one, let it have the game on a usb.
Beside the usb, the one thing I most want, is ingame content.
+ dice set
+ soundtrack CD
+ artbook
USB instead of DVD... Cool
Cloth map ... Amazing!!!
Keychains... YEEEES!!
Buy nothing could make me happy more than...
A Boo PELUCHES!!!
