Re: The things I find.
It was on the Australian eBay site as a "buy it now" item. It was pretty cheap too. Seller didn't know what he had. Believe me, I was lucky to get it! This is because I know for a fact that at least 2 or 3 other AC collectors saw it and tried to buy it at about the same time that I bought it. I was just the quickest draw this time!

Re: The things I find.
OK guys, I have a quick little update. Not much here; only one piece in fact.
However, this is quite a special addition to my collection, and it's certainly worthy of a standalone post in this thread.    As you can see, this is the rare Borderlands 2 press kit. This is easily one of the neatest pieces of Borderlands memorabilia in existence. The best part of the kit is easily the "big box"-style PC box. The art and overall retro style of the package make for a killer display piece. From what I understand, the floppies actually contain a playable 16-bit game on it called "The Border Lands"! So maybe that's the coolest part of the kit? lol I do believe that the game is playable for free online; so anyone, anywhere, at any time can actually play it. You don't need this press kit to enjoy the game.  I do believe that this kit is a true rarity. I only know of a handful of these that exist; though I'm sure that many,many more were produced. I can't imagine, however, that very many of these were actually made. I would imagine that maybe only a few hundred were made. Though, again, I really have no way of knowing how many were actually made. I think they were made exclusively for the European media outlets; though I haven't researched this well enough to know whether this is indeed the case. I'm sure it's possible for other markets like Australia to have received these kits. Now sadly, I do believe that my kit is missing a few bits and pieces. think it's missing a couple floppies and possibly a foldout poster. But, again, given how rare this kit is, I'm still happy with what I have. I wouldn't hesitate to call it one of the best pieces in my collection; and it's for sure one of the best pieces in my little Borderlands collection. I also wanted to show this neat little detail on the package. There's a typical barcode on the side of the box as you can see in the picture below:  However, when you look at the barcode at an angle, you see this:  lol. In case you can't read it clearly, it says "This is not real. This is not real" lol Thanks guys for taking time check out my thread once more! Take care.

Glad it arrived safely Mortal! Its how my contact got it...so i could not tell for sure if its complete or not. The only thing i can say that the promo and the usb came seperate i think (same for the plushie Redmag has now) I never bothered to check...but i guess the floppys are identical games or you need them all to install? its a great item, but i dont care about Borderlands, and i got something nice in return please leave me feedback as well mortal.

Re: The things I find.
Nice stuff and additions as always
Does anyone know why they had floppy disks in the press kit?

Re: The things I find.
Really nice... definitely would rather have that then a Clap Trap poster any day but everyone is different, I know you really like your posters/lithos.

It was Ingmar's... I would assume this one is that one. Quote:
Just to go with the retro PC game style of the PK they were going for.
