Default Re: What's the value of?...

I've got a new one that's been bugging me since I found it after reorganising some stuff and again, it's pretty much vanished.

It's the Fable II collector's edition that was never actually released:

As well as a value, I was wondering if anybody actually knew what happened to it? I've never really seen why it was pulled and how some slipped through. (I did see a thread on here about the figure being unsafe but not much more than that.)



I've had a poke about eBay and the only thing I can see is just the Hobbe figure for $75.

I would like to pick up this set at some point. Been wanting one since Fable 2 came out, but just never got round to getting one. >.< Is on my list of things to get... lol

The value is usually from ?80 and above.

It was pulled because they made the CEs too close to release, and hadn't finished making them all, when they discovered they hadn't safety tested the materials in the hobbe, which then meant it could be potentially toxic.

So instead of delaying the CE whilst they spend money to test, and then risk nobody buying the CE after they buy the game on release day, they just pulled the CE from production completely.

Thanks
Haha, I suppose it would probably be a bit of a higher value if it wasn't quite so bad a game compared to the first/TLC

I'd say about 100 Euros, so I agree with Vhal for GBP 80.


I have one, bought in the USA, but I don't know how the guy got it.

Was it given as a press kit?

Yes, I believe it was. Probably less press kit, and more... giving out to reviewers to see the CE contents first. At least originally. And once the CE itself was scrapped, the remaining copies just kinda became press kits (they are often referred to as such) xx

Darkness 2 - 10-15

Diablo 3 - 20-30? Possibly 40 if you are patient seller, if not buy it at 20.

Letricos quotes are more or less accurate but you should know that for the Diablo steel to sell at the higher end it has to be truly mint which can be hard as Futureshop still handles/packages steels rather poorly.

Even with a mint Diablo though, you'll probably be hard-pressed to get over 30 for it.

Hate to double post but I was wondering about how much an Uncharted 2 promo journal was worth?

Example here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Uncharted-2-...-/120973272027

Prices on ebay tend to vary greatly, usually dependant on lanyards/badges inclusion.

So what do you think a UC 2 journal with and without the lanyards/badges is worth?
