So get the swag out and lets see everyones Bioshock collections.

Wow very nice collection :)


all i have is #10 :( (that exact box too) I'd love to have stuff like that...guess i came to the game too late and missed out on all the cool stuff :( i have a computerised copy of the Art Book but not a book version


well hopefully there will be some cool things with Bioshock 2 so i can get it, now i know i love the game so id prob definately pre-order a copy, hoping for some nice things to come with this :)

[BioShock Freak]

Awww I'm sorry about your BD Figurine. :( I wish I had one. Very nice colection though. :) The only collector's item I have is the BioShock Brady Games Signature Series Guide. It also comes with a big poster. :D I got it last week.

[BioShokk]

Did you really need to take a picture of that? Methinks you just wanted to show off your sparkly thumb.

I've got the special Cult gamerpics and the Collector's Edition.

God it's been a while since I was here last. Lot's of new'uns!:D

[BioShock Freak]

Hey! I love my sparkly thumb. :D
~Mari.

[kglaser]

I think your thumb is avatar-worthy :D
and I have that game guide too--sure helped me out!

[BioShock Freak]

Lmao, maybe that can be my next avatar. :D
I haven't really gotten to use my guide yet because I got it like 2 weeks ago and I haven't really played much. I know, Boohooo...:(
~Mari.

[Ampee]

Nice collection Unorthodox!
I only have the CE, and a BioShock poster.

[japester]

This thread puts in image in my head of the developers suspiciously eyeing the game nerds at the launch party as they roam the room like clepto hobos, shoving everything BioShock related that isn't nailed down into their little sacks.

:p

Finally got my hands on the other pens:

[BioShock Freak]

Dude! Where do you get all this stuff!!!
I have 2 new items to add to my small collection. ;)
I'll post them later. :D

I figured I'd post my Bioshock collection so far. I know I'm missing a few things such as the t-shirts used for promotions and the 4 button badges that came with certain pre-orders in the US. But I'll get them....one day...

So get the swag out and lets see everyones Bioshock collections.

You are missing the tee shirts (launch party, Cult of Rapture, Dead Sucker and The Leftover threadless tees), one other mousepad (not the same as the launch party one), the Rosie helmet (there are very few of these out there anyway), and i'm not sure, but do you have the "Welcome to Rapture" poster there?

Regardless, that's a fantastic collection! The best i've ever seen. :-)

[Unorthodox]

Any ideas where'd I'd find the missing items Elizabeth? The hunt is getting quite difficult now :( .

Also missing this lol:

http://i10.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/ed/f6/e2ed_1.JPG

[Atlas.]

wow im very jealous of all your stuff :D I have nothing other than the game itself :( except the stuff on my computer (my Bioshock folder is up to 977MB now and rising daily) pictures, music, sound files and stuff like that. Excellent collection :)

[japester]

Yup, that is quite the collection, my man! Do you collect this much with other games, or just BioShock?

Ironically, the only thing I have is one of the few things you're missing, the Dead Sucker t-shirt. I had wanted a pen, too, but I didn't want to be greedy since they were freebies. Liz was begging people to take the t-shirts and pens off her hands when the game first launched. I haven't seen them anywhere else.

[Unorthodox]

Want to sell the tee? :P

EDIT: Oh about the other games? Erm not really. Did go through a Sonic/Sega patch a while back and collected quite a bit...but there are a lot of bad Sonic games out there. Once the rose-tinted glasses had faded I no longer had interest in them.

That said, if they made System Shock 2 merch I'd be all over that in an instant!

[BioShock Freak]

Lucky. Lol. Seriously though, where did you get most of your stuff? I've been looking for Bioshock stuff all over the net but can't find anything. :(
~Mari.

[2K Elizabeth]

Any ideas where'd I'd find the missing items Elizabeth? The hunt is getting quite difficult now :( .

Also missing this lol:



;-) i haven't even gotten *my* big daddy to guard my house, so i can't help you there.

the threadless shirts you can request to have reprinted on their site. as for the CoR tees, i'm clean out. maybe i'll reprint them... as for the mouse pad, i'd say ebay is your best bet!

[Unorthodox]

Seriously though, where did you get most of your stuff? I've been looking for Bioshock stuff all over the net but can't find anything.

Most of it was through spending silly amounts of money on eBay (damn living in the UK no where near these launch parties!). A few other items I picked up after buying some items from another gaming forum, and of course the normal game I bought in the shops lol.

the threadless shirts you can request to have reprinted on their site. as for the CoR tees, i'm clean out. maybe i'll reprint them... as for the mouse pad, i'd say ebay is your best bet!

Thanks for the info Elizabeth :)

[501105]

Just found the bioshock faceplate for my collection :D it isnt a big collection but so far I have: collectors edition of the game, welcome to rapture poster, guidebook and now the faceplate

[japester]

Here's the link for the shirt, and it has the reprint request button!

http://www.threadless.com/product/911/Dead_Sucker

I'd like to help you out, but if you can get it from the source, that'd be better for all concerned! You might even start a thread and ask if others want the shirt, too. That might help with the reprint request.

[Unorthodox]

Thanks for the link, added a request for both the winner and the Dead Sucker one. So in total there are 5 official tees?

Dead Sucker (threadless)

[BioShock Freak]

I've got two items to my collection. So that makes three total. Lol.

[BlacquePhalcon]

ive got a collection its not nearly as huge however, I got the PC Bioshock, xbox bioshock, xbox collecters edition bioshock, the figure that comes with the CE and the Bioshock XBOX360 faceplate, I love that faceplate :) Oh and i have the bradygames book. How many votes does it take to get them to reprint the shirt?

[el aedrian]

damn..i want those needle pens.....mmm...

[BlacquePhalcon]

I got a question about the BD statues from the CE, are they hand painted? Mine seems to be but I'm not sure. Also how many votes does it take to get them to reprint the treadless tee?

[BioShock Freak]

Hmm...I don't know but it looks hand painted to me too. Maybe they are.
About the T-shirts, you'd probably want to ask Elizabeth. She knows more about that.
~Mari.

[pal13227]

Would you kindly send me a Big Daddy?:D

[37inf.div.]

God i would beat some one to death with a wrench for one of those T-Shirts

Now the FBI will come and aresst me for that

[pal13227]

Just run and hide. They tend to be bad at finding people when that happens:p . Seriously, though, I want a Big Daddy XD.

[RyanAndrews]

I have #1 (Different Faceplate # of course) , and US collector's edition.

That's all for me.

Nice collection BTW.

[RyanAndrews]

I believe it is hand finished. So the littler details on it are hand done.

[Gnarbastard]

duuuude, i would kill for all of that stuff, you are one luckyyyy man. xD

[Boiler Attack]

(I'm very sorry if i made some mistakes, my English is not that good so)

Since here in mexico we got nothing but the regular edition of the game some friends that also loves bioshock and i are doing our very own custom Bioshock Limited edition that will includes:

1.- A printed labelled mp3 cd (maybe 2) with the 21 tracks of the bioshock lisenced soundtrack, the 3 of the Bioshock Ep, the 12 of the Bioshock score, the 12 podcast episodes from cult of rapture and the 122 audio diaries from the game.

2.- A 2 volumes printed hard cover of bioshock breaking the mold art book and a step by step game guide with images and everything. (A friend is helping us with this in his store were you can print your books)

3.- A printed labelled DVD with menu, interactive things and everything (of course we are getting help) including the Making of Bioshock, all the plasmid turorials from the game, all of the trailers, the three endings, all of the important reviews of the game like the ones on ign and gamespot and some cool videos that i found on youtube like parodies and tributes.

4.- A printed labelled cd-rom with the digital HD version of the art book, a lot of game footage, all the wallpapers on several sizes that i can get, icons for the pc, fan made art, some concept art, in game textures, images of jack´s tatooes, images of the real size big daddy and the original big daddy figure that you have and i don't haha, pictures from the New York City press event, pictures of the bioshock appreciation event, all of the magazine covers with bioshock in it that i can get, important websites like this one, the cult of rapture, the oficial page... and some rapture city posters.

5.- The most important thing, the big daddy, we are making three diferent types of the bouncer and the rosie, a friend with his girl are making one made of felt, another one is making a papercraft big daddy and me and my girl are making one exact sculpture of the original big daddy figure (i hope we get that right, it's very dificult :().

6.- Obviously the xbox game but, including also the pc version both with yes, printed custom labels of the limited edition covers.

7.- We are customizing our xbox faceplates.

8.- 2 realy big printed posters and some stickers.

9.- 2 T-shirts and a hooded sweatshirt.

10.- Everything on a really BIG custom Limited edition Box.

We are enjoying a lot with this project, not spending to much time on it (we can still play soccer and go partying hehe :)) and it's not expensive at all, why don't you give it a try...

...So what do you think of my efford and love to bioshock, i hope i finish in less than a month or two and after that maybe putting some pictures here.

Oh by the way, i'd be very happy if you can help me with this adding some of your ideas to include on my Very Incredible Mega Unique (actually 5) Numbered Limited Edition. In advance thank you.:cool:

Wouldn't it be easier to import the CE?

Still, great stuff you guys are thinking of.

P.S. You are good with your English.

[Boiler Attack]

Oh thanks man about the English and yeah it could be easier, but i'm kinda lazy about it and i had some bad experiences before also there's no shipment to Mexico on the ebay offers and i prefer to save those $200 that could cost me buying it on amazon to the car that i'm saving for. I've spend just 10 bucks in the ink for my printer and i'll get almost everything on the internet for free.

By the way the collection of unorthodox is just freakin amazing, congratulations.

[Atlas-Puppet]

All I have is the Bradygames Guide.

[Unorthodox]

Took a picture of my collection now as it stands;

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/Unorthodoxic/bioshock/Bioshock-Collection-copy.jpg

Gonna stick it on eBay soon, any ideas what I should ask for it all?

[novemberschill]

u gonna put it up as a whole lot? or individual items, but thats really pretty looking, i only got a few of those things

Wow, I would so bid on that if you did.

Anywho, I guess start out at $100 and it'll probably go up from there? I don't really know, don't use eBay all that often.

All at once in a single auction :p

[rootbeertapper]

All at once in a single auction :p

Well you payed ≈ £562 ≈ $825

2 Questions:

Why are you willing to sell?

What is your expectations on the sale? ( (£)($) wise)

[Unorthodox]

Why am I selling it all? 2 reasons really.

1: I don't have any space to display it all so it gets packed away. So yeah, I kinda feel like it's going to waste.
2: This is the more important reason. I really want to kick start my photography business so any extra money at this point is most welcome.

And finally as to what I'm expecting in the sale, honestly, I have no expectations lol. If I listed it for $100 and no one bid, I don't think it'd shock me.

Well when you put it on Ebay I will have to make a phone call to Iceland and have a EFT done. You will get atleast 1 bidder no worries.

I suggest you photograph everything seperately if need be.

Also mention in the sale that your looking for funds to start a business, bidders like mushy details like that.

I can't tell you how many times auctions are sold on the 'story' and not the item itself.

[BioShokk]

Personally I'd pay $2000 for it all. This sort of depends on when you're gonna be putting it up, though.

[japester]

I think it's okay to mention that you are getting rid of your collection, but let me remind you that advertising anything for sale is strictly prohibited here. So no asking for offers or linking to an auction, please. That's a slippery slope, and we'd rather not start down it.

Having said that, your target audience for that lot is relatively small, so the key will be getting the word out. You can't do that here, but I would hit up any BioShock fan sites or unofficial forums you can find (as long as it's okay with them). Good luck.

[LittleSisterSaviour]

Its Such a Shame That You Dont Have The Space to Display Because Thats Some Collection Right There!

[Justlookaway]

I sir, am jealous. Quite the collection you have...wish I could grab one of those faceplates, but alas:(
