Apart from this, you'll get a copy of the game (on the platform of your choice), character pass (featuring 9 DLC players), season pass bonus, football jersey, and much more. Here's a look at everything that's included:
And here's a bit more about the table along with the guarantee:
‘Café’-type football table. Furnished with legs (thickness of 40mm) with reinforcing crosspieces.
Metal footballers screwed onto telescopic steel bars with a chrome finish (diameter of 14mm). Metal sliding rods with tempered steel shock absorbers. ABS handles. Ball returner to pitch centre. Gerflex game surface with corners. Comes with two balls.Guarantee:
1 year for the game bars / 3 years for the structure / 10 years for the footballers (unbreakable and foolproof).
All up, this Legends Edition will set you back a whopping €1,989.00 (that equates to about $2,200) and will be released on 28th August this year. Pre-orders are now live on Bamco's European website.

Something tells me this limited edition will be available for a while.
Pretty cool but it's also just really over the top.
@JayJ Honestly, after having collected varying sizes of collectibles over the years, "over-the-top" and larger is just a better approach. The little trinkets are a pain to upkeep, visually lame, and all too inviting of the "hoarder" vibe.
Europeans that know about wooden foosball with half the money can buy a real italian professional wooden foosball table which is a total different league than this plastic crap! But guess you pay the collector's edition. Not for everyone
I had some friends who had one of these tables growing up.
We put a board over it and built Lego on it.
I don't hate them or anything - they just don't really interest me - nor anyone I know. Even those friends I knew who had one, never seemed interested in actually playing it.
Time to knockoff some piggy banks me thinks. The foosball table looks really neat, as does the rest of the items, but that's too rich of a price tag for my blood.
If this was in the US, I would consider it.
I don't get the joke in the header. Why fooSball?
@Jashin I'm from America (I know, I apologize about that) and can confirm we have only ever called these things "foosball"
@Jashin it comes from the German word fußball (football). The “ß“ is a German symbol for double S.
@Jashin Table Football, as we call it, has always been called Foosball in the US at least.
@Deanster101: Being german I of course realized that. But I assumed this was a pun I did not get...
@Chlocean: ok, then no pun, I guess.
Putting LRG to shame.
A New record holder for the biggest and most expensive limited edition video game offer ever?
Saints row's Wad Wad edition would like to have a word with you.
the game is probably so bad that they need to include real life football table to it
@Captain_Paprika Haha, yeah, "Our game is so good you'll want to play table football instead!"
thought cool then seen the price lol
Holy God!
Talk about an "investment"!
Deutsche meister! Best footballgame there is.
Best played in a Dutch coffeshop lol.
@Jashin I can see why you'd expect a pun!! I'm interested, what do you call it mostly?
Captain Tsubasa ( or "super Campeones") in Spanish, is one of my first animes ever so it has a huge place in my heart , not to mention we don't get much of this franchise outside Japan, and been a huge soccer fan (fútbol) I can tell you I would definitely buy this without giving it a second thought especially since I love fussball tables too. People just gotta keep in mind most of this collector items are mainly for the novelty of it all and true die hard fans is not meant for everyone. =
Bobby Boucher, you stay away from that pre-order!
