Is anyone from the UK preordering one of these, and able to preorder one for me? It says it authorizes your card, but doesn't take funds until release, but I've got rent to pay tomorrow XD xx

Was just coming to post this.. ;)

I don't like it that much... although it is JUST like the in-game one but I like the one Anna made much better.

No worries matt, thanks for trying :)

If anyone else in the UK is preordering one and can get a second preordered for me, please let me know :D xx

I pre ordered one, they say they will release in September, do you think pre orders will be taken until then since they don't mention a production number. I've liked this plush since it appeared in the truth from fiction video and am glad they released it, just hoping they dont produce a million. What are your guys thoughts about the production of this?

Yeah, check for yourself (just choose Australia)

DHL express, only option. I don't need it that quickly. :nea:

Yeah, I always had the high shipping costs there, too.

But 60 $ - wow.

Yeah happens every time. I've had postage over $100 before!

For Australians..is it worth having one person put the order in and re sending on? I wonder how many of us there are?

I will pre order an extra for you. My card has been accepted, its a debit card so im not sure why others are having issues

Usually it works if you use the card through PayPal instead of directly at the Irrational site... hope this helps ;)

The only thing with this is the payment will likely go through now rather than at dispatch

These are being made by NECA exclusively for the Irrational Store. NECA is pretty active on their Twitter account, so if someone wanted to contact them about production quantities or how long preorders will be available it might be worth a try.

Might be missing something obvious, but how do I do this? It only comes up with the option of credit card on the checkout.

They have taken away the paypal option when pre ordering the plushie. Im guessing as they will only take payment when it ships where as paypal will take the money right away.

I had an issue getting it ordered as have only used paypal in the past, I kept trying and it went through in the end!

Fark me,again i hate the damn shipping fro the US. One is $60 bucks to send & to get 3 of them sent is $141 in postage,almost the same cost as buying 3. This is damn ridiculous,not even a group buy of the bloody things makes any sense:(

You kept trying your debit card?

If so, might give that ago tonight in the hope I can get it through.

But as previously mentioned, if anyone else from the UK is able to get one I'm happy to give the money up front for it!

Yes kept trying my credit card and it went through, I did email them (support@2k.com) and they said there wasn't a problem but as soon as I tried again it worked fine??

Ah sorry I had already ordered mine before I saw your message about ordering you one, sorry about that!

Same here, 4 cards and its a no go and there is a shit load of credit on them. I've given up now, if they can't make their site work, they can bollocks!!

Hmmm, so you need to go onto a list if you're from outside of the US...

Thanks for this though, will try it tonight and see if it will work!

Man... definitely not interested in that plushie. I "get" what they were going for, but talk about underwhelming. I was hoping for a Songbird plushie similar to the ones in the actual game. Talk about disappointing, especially for that price.

Right, I gave them an email and they put me on the white list.

At first it didn't work, but I've just come into work and gave it a go today and it's went through.

They're quite quick at responding to emails.

Is really strange they need to do that, when I have used them before I just used PayPal and it works fine!

Glad you managed to get one ordered mate!

When you go on the normal 2k store and try to order things, it offers Paypal. It is a little strange, maybe it's just a minor error with the website.

I just assumed they removed the paypal option as this is a pre order item so they will take the money when its released where as paypal would take the money right away!

That is a replica of the ones in the game if I am not mistaken.

But they look crappy.

I think it looks awesome, it's a replica of the one in stores and fits with the video released about Columbia. The truth from fiction videos where Columbian artifacts are found in the mountains. If neca is doing these I expect them to be good quality as the coraline plush and others they have done are great. It's unique, would you rather it look like a beanie baby.

No I would rather it be a fairly limited edition and look like this:

I don't care what anyone says... this one that Anna made is FAR better looking to the NECA one... period. One was made by a single person the other a company...

I suppose it's possible they were in the game, but these are the ones I remember from the game and thinking were pretty cool. It definitely doesn't look the same color, at least.

I think it looks pretty cool from the video here, better than the screen shot on the website, it's about 47-48 seconds in.
