Retail BOX for the US?

[RonEmpire]

According to the germans for the settlers retail box....

As I said in my original post, yes it is the German Premium Pack, if the description is accurate, then it seems fairly worthwhile, especially in comparison to the 'Standard' one.
Just took delivery of some older French 'Starter' Packs, and apart from the lag, they still work fine.

Update: 8/12/12

The Special edition pack arrived today, and I can now confirm that it contains the following ( as pre-order descriptions were rather confusing to say the least).

1 x 4,000 gems (Not 2x as some descriptions claimed)
1 x General Klotz - the new 220 capacity general. (The pack and manual erroneously show the Vet General's picture, but Frotz has a glorious red plume coming out of his helmet).
2 x Invasion of The Nords adventure. (aka The Nords2, a brand new adv, nice to have two, not 1 as earlier thought).
2 x Add 50 Soldiers buff - as opposed to the 1 in the Standard Pack.
5 x Picture cards - a little nicer quality than the standard 'postcard' type.
Manual and DVD - identical to Standard, apart from a different cover to the manual.

All in all, not a bad set, if it had had the 8,000 gems as first thought, it would have been excellent.
Will try to add some pics somewhen.

Wow this box is really nice to buy since the Adventure and the general makes up for the gem difference from buying online.

Is this available for the US ?
