Bioshock Infinite "Burial at Sea" Elizabeth Figure

[IAmTheLoneWanderer]

just preordered this. can't wait until june. just wanting to know what all you think of this?

it seems like a beautiful piece. the quality seems to by like that of the andrew ryan figure they did for the release of the original bioshock (which i am still desperately in search of. hint hint.) there are two different versions of this, a ken levine signed one (50) and non-signed (350) for a total of 400. A large number for this quality of statue but nonetheless it will be an amazing piece regardless of the number.

Wow, she looks beautiful. Seems like a purchase for me. I just hate how his signature is an extra 250 dollars. I'm not sure if il get that one. Either way, thanks for the heads up.

Like really, what kind of a dick sells their own signature? Let alone for hundreds of dollars.

i do give them props though because they will make money from suckers like me. but at the same time i get where they are coming from since they are closing their studio "technically" and laying off 90% of their workers. people will splurge on the statue itself just the same way people spend thousands of dollars on the cohen statue and murder of crows replica.

yeah but the mind in revolt that that had signed was one of 15 so those who got one are very very lucky. which i am still looking for.

that would be sick.

Not gone for the signed edition, The cost for the postage to uk would just make this so much more. the extra cost would also add a lot more to the cost of the postage. So silly as in theory the item is the same.

If it was shipped from the UK i could have got the signed edition with what i would have saved in postage.

glad you picked one up.

probably not given the fact that cohen was one 110 and signed by both levine and waters. plus not to mention is was a ridiculously wonderful interpretation of cohens presence in the game. not saying this is not a good interpretation but rather more laid back interpretation. the cohen statue is one of those things not even the biggest bioshock fans will ever get to own or see in reality much less because of their sheer rarity and expense to purchase it. last one sold for over two grand i believe. i know mortal has one and i am so jealous of that its ridiculous.

Are the layoffs not a result of Levine wanting to "start something new"? Plus, they've been doing this for awhile.

As for people splurging on this the same way they did with the MoC and Cohen, its not really the same. Those are extremely rare, long sold out items selling on ebay. This is a statue demanding stupid prices at /retail/. i.e. less people will buy at retail, and it won't be worth as much. In fact I'm pretty sure a lot of other signed items are still in stock over there.

Regular edition ordered. I really wanted something nice for my favorite game of all time and I have been patiently waiting for something to draw my attention. This is definitely it.

you make a good point with that. this statue is not like Cohen at all now that i think about it or even Andrew Ryan at that. the MoC had a higher number made than that of Andrew Ryan and Sander Cohen but it still is highly sought after.

depends on which you are trying to pre order. if you are trying to pre order the standard non signed version you have to have at least $250 in you bank account at the time of check out the same goes for the signed version except you need at least $500.

$250 extra for a signature? That's crazy talk right there.
