Re: Hello CE! Pictures now added!
Hello again Funnnkyyy!
I would address you by birth name, but as a matter of respect given our new friendship, I have to first earn the right to do so. Clicking on the links to your collection, I have to immediately point out that I am elated by the fact that your preference is Xbox. Oh, how I thought I would never find another outside my own family! Putting that aside, I too would be jumping up and down over a BioShock Collector's Edition with a mint Big Daddy figurine inside! Not only that, but if my eyes don't deceive me, you got the Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition you were hunting down mere months ago! Congrats on the addition! Ugh, I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw you acquired a signature by the voice of Damon Baird himself! My absolute favorite character in the Gears of War series, hands down, and I really love Judgment despite it being widely ignored in comparison to the other game entries. The signed Gears of War 3 is equally amazing. Is that by the entire team?! And you know what else is amazing? That Halo 4 cell! I'm really looking forward to what you will be adding. If you ever get your Bayonetta items signed by Hideki Kamiya just don't tell me about it. I don't believe I could handle it. Before I forget, will you be getting Arno to go along with Elise? Overall, there is so much to appreciate in your collection. |

My birth name is Chris! But I answer to either name lol Many thanks for your kind words, it has taken a while to find such items but the collection ever grows and my wallet ever complains Love my Xbox collecting that's for sure! One of my favourite franchises is Gears of War. The standee is signed by Baird yes, was very worried about shipping this to Australia from the U.S. But it arrived perfectly the GOW3 cover is signed by the entire Dev team I was lucky enough to find and purchase #1 of 1000 for the Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition which proudly sits in my collection. Dead Space would easily be my favourite franchise! I'm not a huge Halo or AC collector, but I couldn't pass up the Halo cell. It was a gift given to employees who worked on the game. Sadly I didn't work on the game (I'm a store manager of a supermarket) but found it for sale on EBay. I'll probably pick up the Arno statue at some point, but I'm hunting some Bayonetta and Dead Space items atm |

Wow! Having the standee shipped from one country to another, and for it to still arrive in perfect shape? That's fantastic! And the whole Developer Team? You sir are one lucky person! Very, very happy that it all worked out for you so well. #... 1... Dead... Space... Ultra... Limited... Edition...? STOP!!! Too much power to handle!!! Let me breathe... ... ... all better! Dead Space is also one of my favorite franchises, even though the first left me terrified. I like a good scare, which is probably why I kept playing and enjoy it so. I still remember the scene where (SPOILERS) Isaac Clarke meets what I dub the "Regenerator." When it breaks out of its stasis capsule and you realize cutting its limbs only stalls its intent to dismember you, and you have to escape its grasp as it hunts you down relentlessly... argh! I ran away, cutting down all other Necromorph entities that stood in my way, and had to concern myself with a time limit until the door unlocked. I would circle it and rush to the bathroom, it would break in, and I'd scram back out. When the door opened I wasted no time and noticed I was in a hallway with a save station. I figured, "Great, save stations are safe places according to video game logic," and then BAM! The Regenerator crashed through the ceiling only to impale me in a typical, gruesome way. If I had just gone through the door at the end of the hallway, I would have hit a checkpoint and been safe. Once it happened I put the game on a 3 to 6 month hiatus. (END SPOILERS) The sequel became more action-oriented and after the trials of the first game I wasn't scared anymore, except when (SPOILERS) a pile of Necromorphs invaded the government sector (END SPOILERS). I sure hope there is a Dead Space 4 going off the ending to Dead Space 3. Visceral Games has been busy with Battlefield Hardline and now the top-secret Star Wars game, so it may never happen. It better! *looks at Del Toro for a conclusion to Hellboy* Bayonetta and Dead Space are fine games with a ton of cool collectibles, albeit pricey ones. Are you just looking for anything Dead Space and Bayonetta or do you have particular collectibles in mind? I have to admit, if you had to have just one, that Ultra Limited Edition takes the cake (#1 of 1,000)! P.S. All this text needs some emoticons. I need to get smiley-savvy! |

Re: Hello CE! Pictures now added!
Love Dead Space! Really wish there would be some information on a 4th release
I collect all sorts of items for the franchises in my wanted thread. Still mainly sticking to the Xbox platform but I have had a few other rare items or items I haven't seen before come up that has enticed me to branch out as well! Currently trying to complete the lithograph set for Dead Space as I am only searching for about 6 more. For Bayonetta, just searching lol Last edited by Funnnkyyy; 08-15-2015 at 03:53 AM. |

How many lithographs were offered in total by Treehouse Brand Stores? To my knowledge, most of them focused heavily on environmental work, and there were two sizes (big and small). Of the ones you do own, are they going to be hanging up on the wall or stored in a portfolio? I'm hoping that with six left you are making good progress with your search, and I'm wishing you all the best! If you want to plaster your walls with something other than lithographs, Walls 360 sells graphics in various sizes (and for other video games too). Isaac floating about your collection could be killer, as well as the Puker. Bayonetta... There's the two art books, the earrings, the soundtrack, the Play Arts Kai figures, two to three statues, the Collector's for Wii U (Book of Angels packaging), and replica cards (second game) that were given away in Russia. That's what I can scramble up in my head for now... Wait. There is also a print by comic artist Adam Hughes. There is probably more than that. You have her Scarborough Fair from the first game's Collector's Edition. If I made your life more difficult with the Bayonetta thought trail above I am so, so sorry. You said you were looking, so I made a mental list that found itself typed here, on these forums. |

Yeah I am planning to frame all of the Dead Space Lithographs and put them on the walls in my house, however, the last 6 I have been stalled as I haven't been able to find any of them and have been searching for quite sometime.. The ones I am still searching for are: Ishimura by Ryan Church, 24×18" [color=rgb(48,140,140]litho (100lb)[/color], signed by artist, 500 printed Unitologist Church Crypts, 16×12" mini-litho (100lb), unsigned, unlimited run Unitologist Church Crypt Entrance, 16×12" mini-litho (100lb), unsigned, unlimited run Titan Mines Main Camp by Jens Holdener, 16×12" mini-litho (100lb), unsigned, unlimited run Unitologist Church Entrance, 16×12" mini-litho (100lb), unsigned, unlimited run Psychological Evaluation Facility, 16×12" mini-litho (100lb), unsigned, unlimited run Isaac's Cell, 16×12" mini-litho (100lb), unsigned, unlimited run CEC Facility Workers' Entrance, 16×12" mini-litho (100lb), unsigned, unlimited run Airless Hospital Hall, 16×12" mini-litho (100lb), unsigned, unlimited Would love some help if anyone has them to sell or knows someone who does! Bayonetta yes indeed lol I have found the art print with someone and have the Scarborough fair replica, but there were actually two replicas, the second one though, will be ALMOST impossible to find.. Hopefully one day I will Other than that yes all you have listed for Bayonetta will be on the list but first I must get the art print and the Dead Space watch (limited to 500) that another member here has been holding onto for me Other than that, the search will resume once they are done |

Re: Hello CE! Pictures now added!
So you have 9 lithographs left. That's really intimidating! Even so, you've been doing the right thing all this time: having patience! I'll keep a list of what you're looking for and if I ever stumble upon any I'll be sure to let you know!
If you were not aware of it before, Expresso Beans is an art collecting community and may be of some help in your search. Check them out whenever you can. With such persistence, and your clear love for Dead Space, you have to succeed. You just have to. And this goes for Bayonetta and the others too. As for the watch, I remember that when it was put up on the store. It looked so cool as it was designed to look straight out of the Dead Space universe. I wanted one... and then I saw the price. This hobby can get expensive! |

yes 9 left to go.. Thanks for recommending the website, I'll add it to the number of sites I am currently searching in the hope of finding them. My only concern is that not as many made it out and sold as they were an "unlimited run". Fingers crossed anyways as I am willing to pay good money for them! My wallet hates me almost daily lol but I have been very lucky to get what I have and am still finding things I never thought I would. One which I will be putting up in my next post |

Re: Hello CE! Pictures now added!
I see! Since they were unlimited, only 100 could have sold and the rest destroyed or given away (unless they were printed by demand). Scary.
Tease! What did you get this time? Money wouldn't be such a problem if there didn't exist so much cool stuff and said cool stuff didn't cost an arm and a leg at times. To deal with this struggle, whenever I'm interested in something, I give it a week's thought to avoid impulse buying. Sometimes the wait is detrimental if the thing is limited or timed. Plus, I can be REALLY indecisive when given choices. No matter what, and I'm 100% with you, appreciation for what is given to us is all that counts. Life is temporary and so are our belongings. Best to enjoy them now and as much as we possibly can. |
