This has been a great morning! I today met a friendly member from these very forums. He very graciously drove all the way to my home from a relatively long distance; and we did a trade that worked out very well for both of us.
Now I am thrilled to have received the following items from him because I had indeed been looking to add these items to my collection for quite some time now.
Here's my morning haul:
Fallout Survival Edition and Vault Boy puppet from PAX 2008:
I couldn't be happier to add these Fallout items to my collection. The puppet is so hard to get these days. I think the puppets only pop up for sale a few times per year.
On top of these awesome Fallout items, I also picked up this amazing Little Big Planet miniature billboard sign. Now I say miniature, but make no mistake about it, this is a relatively big piece. It's quite impressive in person. It commands attention. Heck, even the guy's wife hesitated to part with it; and she's not even a gamer/collector, I don't think. It's just a charming piece and I'm so happy to have it.
It's hand numbered!
Slightly different perspective. You can see that it even has a ladder on the side of the pole:
I really can't express just how happy I am. If it weren't for CE.org, I never would have met this gentleman and this trade would have never happened! I gotta say it was also quite nice to meet someone in person that shares the same passion for collecting.
Like I said before, none of my closest friends or family members are collectors or even gamers. So it's nice to know that there are people out there that share the same love of collecting.
He was the first person that looked at my Murder of Crows bottle and Sander Cohen statue and was as blown away by them as I am.
