Yeah it looks like it says Call of Juarez on it, and I sure as hell didn't get no Logan figure with my Survival Kit

Wish I did! xx

Seems dodgy then eh?
I wasn't even aware there were any DI figures out there let alone on release day!!
We got jibbed!

Hopefully it wasn't a preorder bonus because if we got partially scammed then I'll be sad

Hopefully you had to buy it, but seems a little odd nonetheless... I WANT IT! xx

No, nobody else got that figure, because it's the only figure of that guy in the world. It's custom made and handpainted by Techland (game developers) itself. To win it, you had to enter one of charity auctions Techland made to aid WOŚP (I won't get into details but it's annual charity event in Poland held in January) So if you checked the date, it couldn't even be a pre-order bonus, since the video was posted in January.
Here's the link to the auction itself:

The guy didn't even pay that much.
And they broke his figure in transit, lol.

And that wooden box, I'm sure as hell I already saw it. Probably even here? I don't know.

Haha, that's pretty cool

I noticed that the video was in January, just put it down to maybe uploading the video late haha

They broke the figure!? Damn, that sucks xx

Well, yeah in that video, from about 2:10-2:40 after he removes the bubblewrap it's shown that the fragment of the bat the character holds in his right hand got seperated. He comments that they send him a Lego set to assembly, then says he will stick it back together with glue and cuts the video to after it's again in one piece.

Edit.

Oh, yeah, found it. The box is from the collector's edition of Call of Juarez Bound in Blood.
I think it's the same one.

Oh yea, that's the box, I never even saw that edition as well, I guess they had a spare box to put the figure in to protect out, but out broke when our was packed anyway, lol.

Makes sense now, thanks for the explanation Neil

Btw, my copy only arrived early this year! Even though I preordered it

LOL - Are you serious, there is late and then there is this. I would have said the game was lost in the post months ago.

Haha, wow that's a really long time! Wasn't it September that Dead Island came out?

Y U laugh at me?

They doodled me around for a long time, they kept wanting more money for shipping...express shipping, but I was ok with economy shipping cos time wasn't a huge factor. Communication was also quite difficult and normally they took almost a week to respond to me!
So yeah, I got it many many months later though I was never worried or in doubt that I wouldn't receive it
