Default Re: Just Cause 3 CE

Welp, looks like mine isn't getting delivered today.
Only my Arcade Block and a Christmas present for someone arrived.
(Side note, where's my bloody Loot Crate? Arcade Block is posted later and I got that and my friend who also got LC had his several days ago and he lives less than 5 minutes from me.)

Looks like the Christmas mail slowdown has begun.

EDIT:
Turns out JC3 was today and the gift is tomorrow!
It's better than I was expecting, not greatly detailed but definitely good enough, using actual steel cord is a nice touch, albeit a pain in the arse as all it wants to do is go in an unhelpful position on the stand. The art book is tiny but nice art. The map is a good thick paper and not bad looking.

I got mine and just unboxed it (video up tomorrow).

The replica has blown me away. It is plastic (except the cable) but it was done right.

I ordered it for PC, but they cancelled that and sent me the PC standard edition + the PS4 CE... FFS.

I dont think I voted for this replica.. but man that thing is big and from your video it looks really well made. I love it when it is something NOT hollow inside. Because it would feel so cheap if it was hollow.

Kudos to you flatout for showing how you put the replica together.

PS.. Glad I avoided the fallout pip boy edition.. heard many saying that the thing feels cheap..

I always like flatouts unboxings! I only paid £55 for just cause 3 CE and if I'd paid more I'd personally feel a bit ripped off........

Lol... I thought it was a bit funny (stereotypes). I ended up using it too

I am not sure i voted at all... do not remember. Statue or replica is what i would have wanted though. The replica is really well made for what it is and the paint really makes it for me... I saw a review on Amazon where a guy gave the CE 3 starts because the replica was plastic. What on earth did he think it was going to be... a re life replica made of metal? That would cost hundreds of dollars on its own... not $30-is which is what the replica costs in the CE.

I think people have the annoyingly bad habit of forgetting the game alone is $60. So they say "I paid $110 for a plastic replica, an art boo, and a map/poster!?"... when in reality they paid $50 for that stuff after the cost of the game.

Shipped? That is pretty good, $15 USD less then I paid shipped (got mine for $100 USD shipped).

I am not sure I said this in the video or not (I did in my Amazon review)... the CE is about right on value... it is not an amazing deal and ti is not a terrible deal. In this CE you are getting what you paid for (unlike some like the Batman Arkham Origins where you got more then you paid for... and the Halo 5 CE where you got a good deal less then you paid for).

Yeah that was shipped from Amazon uk, not sure if it was a price glitch or ifs they matched GAME price as it dropped to £55 for a matter of days then shot back up.... Glad I got order on when I did

Not a bad price so I'm not to fussed, my wife is getting me it for Christmas so just had a quick look at the grappling replica but can't play the game yet lol so frustrating! I'd have loved a steelbook in here aswel just to round things off. Overall for the money I paid I'm happy but if I'd paid £80 like most people I'd have been a tad disappointed.

I think that guy is out of touch... if he wants a premium replica that made of real metal / cloth etc., that would cost him maybe 2.5 times of what he is paying now, minus the game, artbook and map.

My only complain with this CE is the art book.. Looks like its only less than 20 pages.. would have been better if the steelbook was included instead. But people voted for this, so it is what it is.

I definitely would pick this up eventually. Too many things to buy at the moment..

Yeah he is out of touch... he is just no realistic.

Wait for a sale... but the replica is pretty good and probably with there is no steelbook (but it would have been a good value if they put in a steelbook). The art book is very thin, maybe not a lot of concept art for a game like this? Not sure. But if I had to chose bwteen a skimpy art book and a good replica or a thick bigger art book and a not as good replica I would chose what we got.
