LE, SE, CE collector mainly for 7th generation games

Quick update since it's going to be a while before the statue gets here. I think it's being held up at port. The tracking for it just says 'Pending' and I was given the info a couple of months ago. Oh well, I'm in no rush.

I received the third silver coin in the Halo line, and where I do feel that it was just a cheap addition, at least they produced a better package presentation.





All three.



Size comparison.



And my biggest purchase YTD, two Xbox Series X's bundled in with Pulse Red and Shock Blue controllers. One day I'll spring for the Halo Infinite versions but for now, this'll do.



Lastly, bought this little gem since it's technically a NA Zelda console.

I was the opposite of you in regards to the Treasure Goblin statue. Thought it was so out of place compared to the rest of their statues that I held off on it for so long. Glad I eventually caved as I do appreciate it now.

Sorry for the late reply. Yeah I made video on one and have pics of the other one I had.

Here was the Diablo 3 Console Press Kit (only ever seen the one so may be near impossible to find):

Here are the original Diablo 2 Press Kit (oddly the cover is a bit different then the one I had which did not have the computer logo on the cover):

And I get that about the statue. I was only going to get it at a one off and the only Diablo statue I would own so that wasn't a concern of mine at the time.

Cool! Looks nice. Thanks for the references. I'll have to look further into them and see what the going rate is.

Alright, new update. This is going to be one of my more expensive updates since there are a bit of pricey items for this one.

Starting off with Shadow of the Colossus. I finally received the first and third colossi from Prime1. Went for the EX versions that carried the little accompanying statue.





And, here are all the SoTC statues that I own.



I finally broke down and bought the Last of Us Part II Ellie Edition. Was pleasantly surprised at the going rate for this version. Thought I would be taking an arm and a leg to get this one and I know about the backlash people have for the game itself but I still figured with the diehard Naughty Dog fans and the collectors that I figured this would at least be double in price. This one is all minty and nice. Even came in it's original shipping box that has the orange do not open until stickers.





Okay, now on to Halo. Of course I bought Halo Infinite and received the steelbook as a preorder bonus. I also somehow realized recently that Microsoft released a bundled version of Halo:CE and Halo Reach called Halo Origins Bundle, so I had to snatch that up as well. Had to wait a while as the only versions I could find either had a complete mess of a slipcover or were absurdly overpriced.



I also bought the Art of Halo Infinite Deluxe Edition. Pretty nice cover with a slight gloss sheen in some areas.



And, of course, how could Microsoft not release PVC statues for the release and try to get as much as they can out of the franchise. So, I had to get the grapplehook versions in both the Orange/Red and Blue energy sword version. The first one included as well just to complete the look.



I originally bought these Cable Guy Halo versions to hold the new controllers I had but then realized that the twin pack with Master Chief and Cortana were from the original CE version whereas the solo Master Chief version was from Halo Infinite. So, I thought about buying doubles but with the rising prices of these, I decided to just keep them in the packaging. Sorry for the photo here as I was trying to get the light to cooperate so you could see the difference.



Never owned any Figpins but apparently there are different IPs that they make these in. So, I decided to buy the Halo ones. I've seen the regular ones but didn't realize that they made the same Master Chief version in XL format. They are pretty nice and hefty if you were to hold them. I shake my head just looking at the XL one, lol.



And, the pièce de résistance of this update is the Xbox Series X Halo Infinite edition along with the Halo Infinite Elite Series 2 controller. I'm currently trying to figure out how I'm going to display all of the console and statues of Halo together. When I finish, I'll be sure to give you guys an update.

So many statues/figures… you know I’m here if you need space to store them, and I can drop by and pick them up. Just let me know when

Awesome update as always!

Such sacrifices you make for your friends. I don't know if you want to taint your Naughty Dog collection with my unorganized mess, lol.

I appreciate the response. It's always good to know people like seeing me update around here.

Nice ! Love seeing all those SotC statues together !

Still waiting for my 3rd colossus
Pre-ordered from Secretcompass, don't know how much longer I'll have to wait to receive it....

Thank you! If you asked me 5 years ago that they'd make this many SotC statues, I wouldn't have believed you. Always thought this franchise was too niche for most people.

I've never bought from SecretCompass but I've always been aware of the company. I assume you've asked them for updates. I wouldn't be surprised if the shipping boats are having trouble getting your statue docked. I ordered mine directly from Prime1 and even there that was a huge waiting game. I believe it took me 3-4 months for my statue to arrive after I received the tracking number.

I always assumed you bought the third colossus and now I know why you haven't done a video on it, lol. Good luck to you. It's a wonderful statue. I thought the one Playstation sold on their website was good, but this one blows that out of the water. No offense to Gary Barth as I still appreciate the one he created.

Yeah, I asked for updates in september I believe, back then they said to wait 60 - 90 days. Oh well, I know shipping containers are a mess to get a hold of nowadays.
I just hope it doesn't get cancelled, since it is sold-out everywhere....and as you said it is super niche, so they only made 350 total!

I'm already having a lot of trouble with Toy Origin in Canada, ordered a Threezero hunter from them which hasen't shipped yet. I'm passed the paypal ''warranty'' and hearing lots of negative feedback about them lately I think I lost my money.....

Hmm.. not familiar with Toy Canada, for obvious reasons, but I do hope you do get your Threezero. I would still contact Paypal to see what they can do. Obviously, you don't have the item and they have your money. I would think that would be grounds to create a case. I would contact Toy Canada first through some kind of recordable medium i.e. email, chat, etc. and see what they say and use it to open a case with Paypal to show that, in good faith, that you were willing to patiently wait for your purchased item. I know those figures aren't cheap so I wouldn't just let them keep it. Keep me updated. I hate to see a good person get taken advantage of.
