Many thanks for your kind words, it has taken a while to find such items but the collection ever grows and my wallet ever complains 
Love my Xbox collecting that's for sure!
One of my favourite franchises is Gears of War. The standee is signed by Baird yes, was very worried about shipping this to Australia from the U.S. But it arrived perfectly  the GOW3 cover is signed by the entire Dev team 
I was lucky enough to find and purchase #1 of 1000 for the Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition which proudly sits in my collection. Dead Space would easily be my favourite franchise!
I'm not a huge Halo or AC collector, but I couldn't pass up the Halo cell. It was a gift given to employees who worked on the game. Sadly I didn't work on the game (I'm a store manager of a supermarket) but found it for sale on EBay. I'll probably pick up the Arno statue at some point, but I'm hunting some Bayonetta and Dead Space items atm |
Oh, I knew your birth name from the first post! I just feel unworthy to use it.
Wow! Having the standee shipped from one country to another, and for it to still arrive in perfect shape? That's fantastic! And the whole Developer Team? You sir are one lucky person! Very, very happy that it all worked out for you so well.
#... 1... Dead... Space... Ultra... Limited... Edition...? STOP!!! Too much power to handle!!!
Let me breathe...

... all better!
Dead Space is also one of my favorite franchises, even though the first left me terrified. I like a good scare, which is probably why I kept playing and enjoy it so. I still remember the scene where (SPOILERS) Isaac Clarke meets what I dub the "Regenerator." When it breaks out of its stasis capsule and you realize cutting its limbs only stalls its intent to dismember you, and you have to escape its grasp as it hunts you down relentlessly... argh! I ran away, cutting down all other Necromorph entities that stood in my way, and had to concern myself with a time limit until the door unlocked. I would circle it and rush to the bathroom, it would break in, and I'd scram back out. When the door opened I wasted no time and noticed I was in a hallway with a save station. I figured, "Great, save stations are safe places according to video game logic," and then BAM! The Regenerator crashed through the ceiling only to impale me in a typical, gruesome way. If I had just gone through the door at the end of the hallway, I would have hit a checkpoint and been safe. Once it happened I put the game on a 3 to 6 month hiatus. (END SPOILERS)
The sequel became more action-oriented and after the trials of the first game I wasn't scared anymore, except when (SPOILERS) a pile of Necromorphs invaded the government sector (END SPOILERS). I sure hope there is a Dead Space 4 going off the ending to Dead Space 3. Visceral Games has been busy with Battlefield Hardline and now the top-secret Star Wars game, so it may never happen. It better! *looks at Del Toro for a conclusion to Hellboy*
Bayonetta and Dead Space are fine games with a ton of cool collectibles, albeit pricey ones. Are you just looking for anything Dead Space and Bayonetta or do you have particular collectibles in mind? I have to admit, if you had to have just one, that Ultra Limited Edition takes the cake (#1 of 1,000)!
P.S. All this text needs some emoticons. I need to get smiley-savvy!
