We've been told it should all be ready in about a week and half now, but I don't feel like that estimate is completely solid. We may pre-sell it next week (without a photo of the backplate), but it might end up being closer to game launch now. Which would make more sense because it'll mean more when you get to see Isaac wearing it in the game....

Only 500 made, and the price will be $265, and not the $250 I said before.

Is that helpful?

Okay. More helpful this time?

Big thanks to ingmar1988 for the lovely write-up!

Awesome watch. I'm dead broke from buying everything from you guys already though haha.

Hmmm...I'll get it months from now if it's still in stock. Otherwise I'll have to pass. Nice piece for sure though, especially since its an actual replica of an in-game item.

I think it's the opposite, they added the watch to the game just for marketing (Meister made the generic N7 ambassador), unless isaac actually uses it for something relevant, just like that watch in Metro 2033.

Woah! Artbook already arrived in Greece and wasn't held up in customs as it seems.

I haven't received it yet, but fingers crossed it will be here on Monday without problems.

[Puk]

I had to pay 50.-USD Transport + (converted) 45,50 USD.- customs...it hurts...
All this for a book of 65.-USD.
Holy shit! I dont know if i do it again...
Did they mark it on the declaration as a book or media ?

Today i ordered a book from Titan and i had to pay 6,50 for Transportation.

An btw.
Ryan, what kind of freak (yes, i mean it) filled the cardbox with Paper and placed the book on top of it.?
How often do we ask for "Bubblewrap", "we are collectors, take us serious"???
It is an old and neverending wish to hope that somebody usses his brain on packing a box...
How often do you want us to ask for it? 10 times...a 100 times?

Holy shit, Paper+ Book on it, card box closed....and here we go and fly around...INSIDE...the box!
I would do it better, 100%.
I like the dents on the clamshell...they give it personality...fuck
After my experiences, normal, simple persons take more care of packaging, because you buy from them things they once
maybe loved...
Companies on the other side...

[ingmar1988]

I agree, all companies do this though.

The only company that ships consistently with good bubble wrap layer is NIS AMERICA.

But, it is such an old story, and we have someone here, who can transport the message "Be-fucking-careful-with-my-bought-stuff-because-you-took-also-careful-my-money". And -Peng- ,once again...the same thing happens

Btw. Sorry for my harsch words, we humans are able to build beautiful things, complex things, every single time around the world.
But we also fail every single day on quite simple things.

Dang, I wish they were still giving the marker pendant with the clamshell edition.

I ordered mine the other day while they were still available.

Glad I did now.
