Thank you. You won't believe me but I paid a total of $70 for him. The only thing missing is the validation card. The previous owner stated he could not find it. For that price, I told myself I could forgo this exception. Asked him to PM me if he ever found the card. So, in this case, the "ridiculousness" is in the other direction.

Yeah, at first I thought the statue was one of those little statues that comes with Majora's Mask Collector's Edition and was wanting an overpriced offer but I took my chance as something about his description seemed different. I figured if I was wrong, I would be disappointed but wouldn't be anything that I couldn't recover from.

Lol, I could ask him. I believe I asked him to keep in touch with me if he decided to sell any game statues and he stated he would. I haven't seen anything yet. I will let you know but the chances are slim and even slimmer if he would sell for $100, lol. You might have to settle with $150.

Yeah, I was trying to do the same thing when those MM CE's first came out --figured with eBay flooded with them someone might let a F4F one slip through the cracks. Ended up getting one for ~$700 and thought it was a good deal. YOU sir win deal of the year though! And yeah - I might be even willing to go up to :gasp: $200! (Seriously though, anything under $700 and I'm sold!).

As always, Looking forward to your next update my friend!

Oh, space is a problem. I'm slowly winding down on everything I want as they are either getting more specific or I convince myself I don't want/need it. I've had that talk with the gf about moving the collection into one of the bigger rooms as the one it's in right now was made for a nursery and I did not project the collection to get this big.

Happy New Year's, everyone!

Another year has gone by and it seems it's been good to us collectors. I hope everyone got what they wanted for Christmas and I wish the best of luck for everyone's 2017 resolutions!

And, as always, here is my bi-monthly update for November/December.

First off, we have some of the Pop! figures by Funko for the Assassin's Creed series. Sometimes, I wonder why I still collect for that IP. My second game for the PS4 that I absolutely adore is The Last Guardian Collector's Edition. Not the best statue but my GF and I love it. Decided to get the bionic arm from Metal Gear Solid V, both the 1:1 and 1:2 scale versions. It's going to look great next to the Revengeance plasma lamp. Since there was only the one release of the Halo ship replica, I decided to post the Phaeton Ship by itself this time. If you are really curious, you could always scroll back and look at the other version replicas in previous updates. And finally, I have the Art of Uncharted 4 LE and the NECA Uncharted 4 figure. Pretty damn good compared to the Sideshow version of the figure, especially for the price difference.

Kinda hard to see, but I also bought the Last of Us pins to complete my esctoy collection. The new ones are the two on the left on the top row. And the blurry Uncharted 4 pin of Nathan Drake down there is also new from the Playstation store.

Next, we have the Borderlands update. Their website had a sale and I went ahead and took advantage of it. Wouldn't have bought this stuff otherwise but this seemed too good to pass up. Some of these, obviously, were not from the website but once I bought from their webstore, I decided I wanted to get some of the other items. Shout out to the Jakobs diary notebook. Great quality for what seems like real leather. Was super stoked to see that.

Now we have my Diablo binge. Their webstore also had a sale and I was eyeing their Diablo 3 Chess Set. This set is massive and the quality is impeccable. Now, I just need to see the Reaper of Souls Mahjong Set and I'll be complete.

Here are the rest of my Diablo binge buying. Special mention to the Nightmare Diablo Cute but Deadly ComicCon edition on the far left and completing the Heroes of the Storm Mystery Minis up top. GF loved the Dead Treasure Troll Plush.

This one deserved its own picture. This is the Artist's Proof of the Diablo 3 Sideshow statue. She is amazing. This has created my want for both the regular and Nightmare editions but will have to wait for either pricing or savings. This will do for now.

And, lastly, we have another collectible set from the X360/PS3 era. What started with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed card set has now expanded to the Perfect Dark Zero Holographic Glyph cards and the Madden 12 signed Marshall Faulk Panini cards. If you will notice, there were only 9 Glyph cards for Perfect Dark Zero and that is because (very hard to tell from the photo) #6 had two different picture versions. That was the only time I have seen that happen. I don't know if that was intended or if the holographic pictures are random but if that were the case, I never ran into any of the other numbers doing that. Also, you will notice, I do not have the gold version for Marshall Faulk as there were only 2 in existence, 1 for each platform, PS3 and X360. If you guys know of any other 7th generation game that did this, please let me know. Would love to hear them.

Again, thank you for visiting my thread and I hope to have more for you in 2017! You guys have been great.

Edit: I forgot something else!

I purchased the Pip-boy Bluetooth version and wanted to display them all together so you can see the differences (if there's much).

That diablo chess set is amazing. I don't think they made any chess board for that which is a big shame

How did you get that unpainted statue?

It was from their Blizzard store. It went on sale at some point after Black Friday/Cyber Monday here in the states. I initially had no intentions of owning it as I'm not a big fan of unpainted sculptures but the price was too low to pass up and I have been eyeing the normal statue for quite a while so I figured this was a decent placeholder. I will say because it's unpainted, if you get it under the right light conditions, the shadows make the statue look amazing. They seem to pop really well as there isn't any color to distract from it.

Hello Everyone,

Time for the bi-monthly update and first of the year from me for you guys! Hope you enjoy.

First, we have a little conglomeration of non-themed item acquisitions. From left to right and back to front, I purchased the Far Cry 4 Strategy Guide as I am still completing my CE guides of the 7th generation. Next is the No Man's Sky Explorer's Edition with the die-cast ship, pin, space pen and journal. Over to the right is The Legend of Zelda: Art & Artifacts LE book. And in the front we have a little Pop! Borderland's Cl4p-Tp and Half-Life Gravity Gun keychains. Last but not least is the little Chibiterasu statue from Loot Crate.

Next, we have a little continuation from the Diablo line. From left to right we have a little Cute but Deadly series 2 Barbarian figure. Next to him is the Demonic Tyrael from the Pop! line exclusive to the SDCC 2015 and the Whimsyshire Treasure Goblin from the SDCC 2014 convention. And to round out the goblins, we have the Coin Bank with sound and the two variants from the Cute but Deadly line series two.

To another series I am collecting for, we have the Bioshock series. I have been able to acquire some rare gems here thanks in part to 0329liuken. The new Big Daddy plush is shown here on the far left along with the huge Bioshock Infinite promotional blimp in the back. The Mind in Revolt and Breaking the Mold Developer's Edition books are on the left-bottom and middle. I had to re-buy the shot glasses as the first set I received were damaged in shipping. I figured I would use the remaining ones that were not broken and keep these in the packaging. The biggest acquires, from 0329liuken, are the Bioshock Infinite and Bioshock: The Collection Press Kits. Very happy to have gotten these. Thanks again, Ken.

Here is a closer look at them. I would've done more shots but I'm sure you guys have seen these before and from the other members here. Just a couple quick shots for you though.

And now, the other money draining IP I collect for is my ever increasing Halo line. First off we have all of McFarlane's Halo 3 Legendary statues and their variants for both the Arbiter and Master Chief and Flood. In front, we have more of Loot Crate's Screen Shots figures and Mister Chief Carabiner Plush.

Also to follow up McFarlane's statues is his Halo 3 Helmet Collection. I think I am missing two more from wave 2 but I'm not exactly sure. There have been so many that look like duplicates with different colors - honestly, it's hard to keep up. The only one I have that is not listed on the back is the bottom-right red set. Don't know what that one belongs to. Hopefully, I will have the rest of them prior to my next update.

And, as always, statues are usually the pinnacle of most people's collections. I have completed my Dead Space statue collection (or until someone decides to take up the franchise) with both the Sideshow Isaac Clarke's Dead Space and Kotobukiya's Isaac Clarke Dead Space 3. Right in the middle is the Gaming Head's Shrine of Julianos Exclusive from their Skyrim line. I am very impressed with all three statues and am very pleased to have them.

Thank you guys for taking the time to go through another update with me and, as always, I hope you guys enjoy my updates. Cheers!
