No wonder its expensive, its a Weta item.

At least you will know its high quality stuff. :)

how am i supposed to be a fan if the game isn't even out

I really wish Hellgate wasn't pay to get the most out of it x.X I was so excited about that game before they announced that.
That model is pretty cool though. I love their character design. Like a futuristic knight. I think that's part of my fear about the elite content. What if the awesome looking templars used in all the promotional material you have to pay for >_<

I can imagine my overweight, greasy, balding, single computer teacher beating off to this thing.

@Zim:

*sigh* Me too! I was thinking how awesome it was having a Diablo-esque game come out. Then I hear I have to invest more time in this than I can spare.
It is an MMO correct?

@poematik14:

Tsk tsk you're imagining him/it? Wow you sick perve...I get what you're saying. But you're still sick! =D

In my day, we bought action figures to play with. Not to pose them and such. What do I know anyway. The last action figure I bought was an Egon figure from the Ghostbusters era.

This is 225 freakin' US Dollars?! That's almost as much as a Wii! I know I'm not that versed in action/model figures or whatnot. But 225 Dollars! Sheet! With that price it should have opposable limbs and such (and by opposable limbs I mean Choclate limbs with a creamy caramel center in the middle!).

@BigChiefSmokem: Maybe you're a big fan of game development? I dunno!

Is Diablo 3 I mean.... hellgate just supposed to drink as much money out of my pocket as it can or something?

Seriously, You want 225 dollars for this, then you want 15 a month for you're vip access. And I'm gonna need a computer to play this so that 1300 bucks. And I'm gonna need an internet connection so that another 30 a month. Plus I'm gonna need food and a place to live if I'm gonna you know, be able to live, oh and power too, need that to fricken run everything. Clothing might be useful, but I guess I can just ware the box.

So I'm like a fucking two-bazillion dollars in fricken debt, thanks a lot hellgate!

@Zim: without the subscription fees you would not have anything to get the "most out of" beyond the boxed game content. Its really just an option. I mean what you are saying is equivilant to *sigh* I wish hellgate london didn't have additional content.

That Hunter looks so professional and awesome.

This statue is bad ass, much like the one for Starcraft II.

I have the money, but I'll be damn to spend it on something I can only look at.

I'm guessing with even 1000 of each, they're going to have some surplus. They're nicely done and all, but without a really hot property (still up in the air) and/or some serious female flesh (fully clothed doesn't cut it in that industry), they're going to have trouble finding a lot of takers at $225.

It looks mighty kick ass to bad about the price...

Remember the good old days when a game, movie, book or whatever actually had to be released before it had fans and expensive merchandise created to be purchased by fans?

I do.

Also... get off my lawn you damn kids.

If the game becomes big they could end being worth a small fortune.

They definitely are sharp though.

Sorry Hellgate, I already dropped $250 on the Starcraft II Tychus Findlay statue. So much cooler. :)
