I don't own a 20th Anniversary PS4. I'd gladly trade a Claptrap Borderlands for one though...

Well, I'll have to wait a bit before I buy something else, want to have some money after the buy as well

The problem is that 400 pounds is about 550 euros or something? Which is exclusive shipping, so the total would end up at a really high price... I might have a look at trying to get one next month, I'll have to see..

Guys, I figured out a fix for the limp weiner arms.
Just stick a small, tightly rolled piece of toilet paper (so that it looks like a tiny piece of rope) between the arm peg and the slot where the arm peg slides in on the figure. The piece of toilet paper basically reduces the size of the slot, creating a tight, snug fit for the arm peg. As a result, the arm fastens in place nice and tightly and it won't go limp. Play around with the thickness of the rope becuase if it's too thin, it won't work. I had to use two layers of toilet paper to get the right thickness.

Sadly though, I did discover another shortcoming while sliding the arms in using the toilet paper. The articulating joints on the arms are super weak and will basically go bad after just a little bit of use. Some of the articulating joints click in to place when you articulate them, but the plastic is so cheap that it stops clicking in to place after just a little bit of use, and will quickly stop working altogether. One of my points of articulation is pretty much already dead.

it's somewhat awful that considering the price you guys paid, that the CE had so many shortcomings =/

Luckily I didn't jump (due to price game only is £45 and CE is £290 with a difference of £245 for the remote control clap, steelbook no wait - ironpak [pretty sure advestised as steelbook] and art prints), but if I was in this situation I would

Back in the day Gearbox wasn't so awful (BL1), then came DNF, Colonial Marines and that crap ton amount of DLCs for BL2 which I was always against (especially in a CE!):

Xbone version is £240 at game. I am now a bit more tempted - I don't collect steel books or ironpaks or whatever it is :p

Is that something that would sell even without the game?
