Hello Everyone,
Been debating with myself whether it's worth continuing to keep updating here after the fiasco that left a sour taste. I know everyone has their opinion on how they would've handled the situation but from the information I had and the situation I was in, I did not want to take any chances. Mind you, the way I handled this situation was also after being scammed myself multiple times in past instances. I try to handle the loss with grace and move on. No one hears about it and I don't whine about it. I've come to the conclusion that if what I did does not suit you, then you are more than welcome to your own devices and ignore me. At the end of the day, I'm just here to converse and show off my collection.
So to keep it on topic, here's to the best (and really only 1 of 2 games I've played in 2019). This is the Red Dead Redemption II Collector's Box that was a GameStop exclusive.
Up next is a game that finally completes my NA 7th generation CE/SE/LE for all Xbox 360 and PS3. As far as I'm aware, other than the two ridiculously expensive editions, I should be complete now. I've considered going through them all and photographing them but that would be a major undertaking and not sure if it's worth the payoff if I feel I don't get the necessary feedback for it. I mean what's the point of doing it all if no one cares, right? Anyways, here is the Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition to cap off my completion.
Trust me, the SO is absolutely happy about this.
Next, I have a couple miscellaneous items I received through the holidays as gifts. You can't look a gift horse in the mouth and I'll take any little trinket I can get that relates to my collection! We have a little retro arcade that fully functional at playing Galaga and Pac-Man. A company called Totaku released a Master Chief at GameStop and my GameStop Manager friend gave me this little pin that he was given. Kind of a cool little trinket and bag.
Now for the statues. First off, we have the Diamond Edition for the Borderlands Butt Stallion that the aforementioned controversy was about. And next to that is a comparison to the regular version that's no so glamorous but just as special, lol.
Now, I'm curious to know, because I didn't see Liuken show this one off. I want to know if he has this statue? Apparently, some company named Gaya Entertainment made this Nathan Drake statue and was only released in Europe. I was able to get a decent deal on this one as most were selling above $100 for it. I would not suggest buying this if it's that much as the quality of the statue veers toward a statue you would receive packed in with a game since it appears to be made of PVC. Take that info for what it's worth. The face looks a little off and some of the paint doesn't look like it blends well but other than that, it's not a bad statue. Just not more than $50 worth.
And lastly, in trying to keep up with all the statues for the Bioshock line, GamingHeads released both the Rosie Big Daddy and Elizabeth statues. I bought the Exclusive versions of both and confirmed Rosie's head lights up and Elizabeth's base does too. I tell you what, Rosie's head was interesting to figure out as there was a "hidden" button to activate and color change.
Well, I hope you guys had a great holiday season and I hope you enjoyed my latest update. Thank you to those who keep up with my updates and for allowing me to "compare notes" with you.
