As said i mean no disrespect but at that cost (a good runner/second hand car) you would expect more & more respect.
What would you do with it now as it may be classed as poisoned (well in my eyes it would) buy?
Just doing my duty for fellow collectors and interested parties, so no problem Hans. This whole ordeal was frustrating and disappointing, but I'm still happy (from a completionist point of view) to own the M8. Let me just say that the average person would consider the M8 Avenger replica to be amazing! They would love it. I am not your average person. I am a passionate collector who really cares about details that the average person would disregard. Understanding this, one could easily look at this M8 replica with awe and amazement. Since I take this collecting seriously, those details that most would disregard, however small some may think they are, make a WORLD of difference to me. I suppose anything someone is passionate about they will notice all the details where most others will not see them or not care.

If you are a completionist collector for Mass Effect, I say you have to have this M8. If you are not, then I certainly would not recommend it.

Maybe I'll get up to that type of expanse someday (of course I will, but I can't tell myself that ). I can compete with you on one thing though: I also own a Dead Space Ultra...
Thanks Starkiller! I see you are new. Have you made an introduction thread to share your life story and pictures with us? You should! It's what we thrive on here at CE.org. Pictures, stories and news...about collecting of course.

Lucky you on the Dead Space Ultra. It's a very special item. Unfortunately for me, my copy is both open and damaged (but repaired to a degree). As it stands right now, the most precious collector edition I own is NOT Dead Space Ultra anymore, but rather: Fallout 3 SURVIVAL Edition - of which I have the rarest of all 3 platforms (360) and it is pristine (though opened once, with original seal broken). Still, even being open, it is mint and fantasticly rare and sought after. No other edition I own brings me more pride.
