Umm...Wow! Amazing, can't wait to see it. I'd say that sounds pretty damn rare.

EVERYTHING!? D: ......well.....maybe it was before he tossed it into the huge box. i am just so surprised...he has almost 700 feedback and its 100% positive!!

I am excited to get it. I refresh the tracking number in my phone a few times a day. I just wish I knew exactly how many of them were made... though I also need to find a place to put it!

Contact him he may accept a return failing that open a Paypal dispute saying its not as described, its worth a shot because it sounds like your really unhappy with it, if it was 30 bucks then fine but 300+ thats not on

Yep! Well thats good, maybe you can negotiate with him, threaten him with a negative feedback and see how he responds.

Haha yeah I guess it would be pretty big. Sounds amazing though I've always wanted to have a life size replica of something lol. I remember I almost won a Red Faction life-size hammer signed by all the devs. Almost.

Yea, I just sent him a message. I just hope he can read it (or run it through a translator or something!?) the bottom of the auction said "international buyers welcome" in english so hopefully...

It will be worth displacing items for it though! i've always thought the life-size replicas were really awesome too, but this is just even cooler i managed to get an inFAMOUS one.

Almost won it? How come almost?

Yeah I couldn't imagine him giving up that 100% feedback to easily. Do you have the infamous controller bundles? I saw some somewhere, there were 2 different ones.

It was a classic case of "Oh I'll just bid this amount, no one is as big a red faction fan as me!" then get outbid right near the end, miss the end and then "Wow! I'm dumb, why didn't I bid higher." Its like I don't understand how ebay works sometimes, or I'm just cheap.

I have seen them!! I actually am not entirely sure if I want to pick them up yet...as far as I can tell the controllers themselves aren't branded inFAMOUS in anyway... plus they are kind of expensive to import. I think they are unique colors to just those bundles, but that is it? if the controllers do say infamous on them i might accidentally need them too. LOL.

Ohhh man. That must really suck... that actually happened to me on some inFAMOUS thing recently..it was just a small cardboard display of Cole. I bid on it ages ago thinking "NO ONE WILL PAY THIS MUCH FOR THIS THING LOL ITS JUST A CARDBOARD STANDEE" and then i got an email that someone bid sniped me on it and i just about flipped my computer against the wall. though there was another one ending about 2 hours later so i ended up bid-sniping the person that had bid on that one.

How much did it end up going for??

I am lucky the amp had a BIN on it... i didn't want to risk a bid war on that thing.

True, but it does say infamous 2 on the box!! Hahahaha thank god, I'm not the only person to do something like that! It ended at like $120 I think. Then it (or another one) came back up again about 3 weeks later starting at $300, no one bid, it ended and I haven't seen it since. I just cannot stand missing out on ultra rare items that I'll probably never see up again, it just depresses me lol.

Don't tempt me!! I am trying to save up money again after buying that Amp and this press kit!

Oh man, that is super depressing. I always have hope that sometime, somewhere, a super rare item will show itself again if you just give it time. Maybe it will show up again somewhere?? i wonder how many of them there is...

AJLareneg · #59 07-11-2011, 03:01 AM

I wanted to update my situation on the press kit guy. He sent me an email in French, which I don't fully understand but from what I've deduced he's asking me to leave him positive feedback!?!

It also means he completely ignored the message I sent him before. So classy is this guy.

In other news I got my Amp!! It's amazing!! It is a lot heavier than I thought it would be. It feels like its made out of actual metal piping and stuff. My first thought of removing it from the box is that I could probably actually kill someone with it. It also came with a super neat stand.

There is a couple more photos on my website too: They're right here!!

Now I just need to get my hands on that maybe artbook!? (still no fancy versions announced) and the karmic variant Cole statues. :I I think the statues will be the next hardest thing to track down (though surely not as much as the amp)

After those... I am not sure what is left other than the shiny CE box. LOL.

WOW. That is an incredible item...Wow. Congratulations on that one, it looks better than I could have imagined! The stand too, is awesome!
