Oh, yeah, I'd totally forgotten how that one was handled.

I got my hands on one of the actual limited editions with the Hobbe figure/cards/big box a while after that so they did seem to have actually produced them but aside from one rumour about the figures using lead paint I've not seen any other actual explanation for the cancellation. (I'm not a seller but I do sometimes wonder how much the full set is actually worth these days considering at best you only see the occasional Hobbe figure pop up on eBay.)

Yeah, they definitely made them, I think some places in Europe got them. Someone on this site was selling the Russian version of it, and was fairly reasonable for a price (Whole CE for ~$100). Unfortunately, I slacked off an missed buying it before it sold...

If it helps you for the future (seeing your flag), it was actually the US that I got mine from. Just in case that would mean they did appear in some numbers closer to you too.

Seller was strangely awkward about the transaction and shipping right enough, I ended up having to get one of my mum's friends over there to act as a middleman and then send it over to us.

Any unboxing videos of this out there yet?

No, there aren't even mockup pictures of the CE's content.

This is rather weird seeing as how close this game is to release..
Well hey, I just tweeted them on Twitter, so hopefully someone responds…

i wonder if it has been cancelled for some rhyme or reason? that is why!? there's no official pictures!?..remember like that one PS4 Batman game collector's edition!? from a few years ago, that got cancelled at the last minute..with some ambiguous plausible explanation..never was anything really confirmed as to why!?

Apparently there was an IGN Tweet (now deleted) which accidentally showed some figures and the map off a little.




If that's what they're like I'm going to have no issue cancelling tbh.

The URL shortening link goes to, "https://uk.ign.com/articles/2019/08/...?sf107796051=1" but this is on a 404 at the time of posting.

If that's the figurines we're getting then this is the last shit I buy from Gearbox. F***ing not even painted, just plain resin? Stupid and lazy, or theyre WAY behind on production and can't get everything painted in time.

Wonder if that's why they aren't posting anything - dont want people to see that garbage and cancel pre-orders.
