I just hope it’ll be more like the Diablo 3 released on consoles - I still remember playing it day 1 on PC, and the shit I needed to went through because the game was so unbalanced. Some parts were extremely hard and those elite enemies were impossible to beat most of the time... it just didn’t free like a Diablo game... I dropped it right after I defeated Diablo, but the console version was a whole different experience, it was much more like the Diablo 2 I enjoyed.

Ha, yeah, the first trailer (per usual Blizzard fashion) was the cinematic. They did release a small quick framed gameplay trailer. I'm gonna reserve my judgement until release, but I agree, I hope it is more balanced. I remember the first few day connection fiasco and that god awful balancing for 3. Once they fixed it on PC, it was pretty enjoyable.

Nothing will beat Diablo 2.

It made sense for the story with Diablo being in a female vessel... but that said I totally know what you mean and felt the same way about it.

Agreed. The consoles got lucky and got the good version after the PC people beta tested it (basically what happened).

Sooo.... I was just browsing YouTube for game memorabilia sold on Pawn Stars and freaking came across my photo on their video (and about Halo, no less). Check it out at the 8:34 mark!

Hey All,

Another update to the usual suspects, but first, something I haven't done in a while - buy a new collector's edition. Haven't bought one of these since, I think, Red Dead Redemption 2. I could be wrong. Either way, here's my Xbox One copy of Kingdoms of Amalur Re-reckoning CE. I'm not going to waste too much time and photos on this one since there are better photos by others you can find, lol.



Here we have another Ballistic Publishing collector's limited folio edition for the God of War III. I managed to snag this at a nice price. I was very excited to open this one!



Now moving on to the expected IPs. You guys may be bored at this point of seeing more of my Diablo and Halo items.

Not wasting too good of a photo as you guys can look these up on Blizzard's website but I purchased a simple matte copy of all of the Diablo art prints.



Next, we have the Diablo IV Classes Collector's Edition Pin, Black/Red Diablo Drawstring Backpack, and the Diablo Lord of Terror 10'' Bust. I have to say I wasn't expecting much out of the bust but it is solidly made. If you are considering it, I say go for it. Especially, with all of the constant sales they have going.



And, the last Diablo item we have is the Diablo Lilith 24.5" Premium Statue. This thing is a beast! I could not ask for a better statue of Lilith in all of her glory, lol.





Moving over to Halo, we have on the left the Halo Infinite Dark Horse rendition of the Master Chief PVC 8" statue that was at one point bundled with the game preordered but was eventually sold separately. On the right we have the Master Chief phone/controller holder. This guy is heftier than I expected so I felt that I decently got my money's worth but I would only suggest this one if you're a huge Halo fan. His proportions look a little bit awkward but it's serviceable. It looks like this was made by some Japanese company called Cable Guys and they make several IP characters in this similar stance.



Next, we have the Dark Horse 18" UNSC Infinity Ship right behind the regular 9" version to give you an idea of the difference. I didn't realize how much more detail the 18" version had (which I knew it was expected but not to this level) as you can see.



The biggest Halo addition is the One2one Master Chief 1:2 scale bust. They say it's 1:2 but I don't see it. Either way, the statue seems to be well made and balanced quite well so I can't complain. No plans to get the other variants as I never really cared for them.



And that is all that..... wait, did you think we were done? This is nothing too note-worthy but just by the sheer size of him and the fact that I've been collecting for the Bioshock franchise, I had to show you guys the GamingHeads Big Daddy Bouncer statue that is a faithful recreation of the iconic character. I really need to find some way to show all of the Big Daddies together but I don't think my table will be able to support and or have the surface area to show you guys in one photo, lol.



I'm hoping to get a couple of more statues coming in soon so I'll be sure to update you guys then. Thanks for stopping by.

Awesome stuff as always! One question - where did you find all the spaces for your statues???

Thank you!

I wouldn't say there is space to be found. I have a room dedicated to these items, but I can admit, I've gone overboard. I have dabbled in the idea of selling some of the minor statues that I don't fully collect for to free up some space. I don't know; I'm not much of a seller.

I've been meaning to ask you - where do you put your things? Maybe it'll give me a better idea of how I can free up some real estate.

Don’t sell anything, you just need a bigger house lol.

Where do I put my stuff? Garage… I only display smaller items from TLoU and Uncharted like press kit and promo items in my media room, Bloodborne statues in my study (there are only 3 from Prime1), and GoW statues all over the house lol.

I wish. I'm trying to pay my current one off so that way I can at least enjoy a few years of non-servitude to the bank before I decide to move. Also, that's going to be a pain to pack everything back up.

I've thought about the garage. Obviously, you probably have them packed up in boxes but you don't worry about this Texas heat causing some kind of damage to the plastic and resin items? That was my main concern and another reason why I didn't decide on the attic either. At least in the dedicated room, they're in a temp controlled environment. Although, I do have an upstairs balcony door in that room and when it rained hard, my unopened Uncharted PS4 box got water damage on it. I was pissed.

Everything in my garage are packed in boxes, and my garage is kept at 90 degrees or lower during summer so it should be fine. The more expensive items are all inside the house. Attic is a hard no, it frees like 200 degrees every time I go up there to clean the AC or change the filter… 10 minutes up there during summer time can definitely cause some big damage to your health…

Sorry to hear about the damaged Uncharted PS4… I can free the pain because it is Uncharted lol

I need to get insulating tips from you then.. or I just have a crappy garage. It gets really darn hot in there. I guess I'll look into getting it up to snuff. I agree with you on the attic. When I'm changing my filters, I look like I've ran a marathon when I'm coming back down.
