Anticipated Borderlands 3 Diamond Loot Chest Edition

[Twisted]

that's a lot of plastic for $250.00.

With that price tag the figures and the ship model sould at least be pre painted.

The thing that irritates me the most about the dumb figures is that Borderlands itself is based on a vivid art/color scheme. It's also based on things being modded to hell, especially on colors. The fact they neglected/were too lazy to paint them just goes against everything Borderlands is about.

These figures looks like from the broad game or war game

Wow - Easiest preorder cancellation I've ever made right there.

The figures look rough, also looked incredibly light when he picked one up.

The ship did not look all that good and I say that as someone that enjoys these Airfix type kits (like mentioned above too, it looked unpainted as well).

The lithographs look crap imo too. When there's so much cool stuff in the Borderlands universe and interesting landscapes, etc., why would I want 5 bland, unoriginal pictures of characters' faces?

And that chest... Ooft. When he was opening it all I could think was that shaky stiffness is the hallmark of poorly moulded cheap crap. This was totally solidified in my mind when he lifted it and the chest started flexing for just a small lift and turn.

I think literally the only part I was interested in was the map which I'll half-heartedly check eBay for later. (I do love maps though.)

Cancelled this as well. Everything looks so cheap and not worth the additional money. I'll just stick to the steelbook edition and maybe pick this up when Game try and flog the excess stock later.

Too much paper and plastic for the price..I’m sure around the end of the year they’ll have blow out sales on these for half the price! Since it comes with lots of filler shovelware..now we know why they seriously delayed showing off the contents because they knew they’d get a lot of blowback! from collectors! for cutting corners!

Yeah, pretty sure they're 3D printed, which means they're almost guaranteed to be broken upon arrival as 3D printed figures are usually more hollow than solid and therefore very weak.

I hate how ambiguous they were on the type of model it would be. To me it sounded like it was going to be a LEGO-knockoff type of ship.

To be honest, as disappointing as it is, it's basically what they've always done when it comes to Borderlands lithographs. Crappy, never about the scenery.

Agreed, it's definitely not looking to be up to the quality of the RDR2 metal case (last case I purchased)

Never cancelled my pre-order, so got this in the mail today. Thoughts:


1) Steelbook was visibly scratched... while still sealed. Perpendicular to the spine, so must have been a manufacturing defect.

2) Case is indeed not the greatest quality. The sliding mechanism sucks and took 2 tries to get it to work (it even comes with an instruction pamphlet on how to open it... not good)

3) Handles on the case are backwards from what you would think - they are hinged on the bottom and open from the top... which means they fall open very easily.

4) Pro was that it was packaged extremely well overall, of which this I was pleased at.

I cancelled mine today. I've wasted some money on some cheap shit before, but I couldn't pull myself to get this one. Eb games employee instantly started texting someone to let them know one was available. Hope he or she enjoys it!
