Thank you, sir. Always a pleasure to hear that. Yeah, we do need to catch up again soon. But not because you got me something, lol.

I know, right! GF is definitely happy that collection is done. Hopefully my money won't be leaving me that quickly from here on out.

Personal opinion, get it if you're trying to collect specifically for Bioshock. It is pretty massive, but not God of War massive that Flatout reviewed; probably more Lord of Cinder territory. Quality is really good.
To start, the box is pretty big and there is nothing separating the statue box and the shipping box except for a sheet of cardboard on top for what I assume is so you don't cut into the actual box when you cut the tape. So, expect to see box damage. Inside is nothing but Styrofoam. Lots of it. There are two sections, top for the accessories and the little sisters and the bottom for the base and Big Daddy.
Mine did arrive with some damage. One of the Big Daddy's boot buckle broke and one of the wing nuts by his head broke. Now, I don't know if it was due to shipping or when we took it out but I will say that we were careful in handling the pieces. I do want to reserve judgement until GH releases theirs and compare it but right now, I would buy it in a heartbeat. I've enjoyed all of Irrational's past statues and they did not compromise on this.

If you want, I can post different angle shots and close-ups if my brief review above is not satisfactory.
