Words can not describe the immense disappointment I feel now that I'm not gonna get a Hobbe figure to go with my Big Daddy from Bioshock....

Didn't really care about a plastic figure and some cards....
All I want is the exclusive in-game content!!

Glad they lowered the price!

I suppose an in-game dungeon is fine, too. But with these figures I can play with them like a kid again, yet not be embarrassed - they are priced collector's items, not friggin' toys..

*Fiddles about with his Big Daddy figure*

Yeah, go get that Splicer, Mr Bubbles... teehehehe...

Hmm well, the Halo 3 Legendary edition was pretty sweet, tons of making of, and even all the cut scenes from Halo 1+2. Gwaaahhh..... drewl....

Didn't much care for that one, to be honest. The Helmet wasn't my cup of tea, and the weight made the shipping cost sky-rocket.

Now I won't say this is a grim event. At first, I cared deeply for my little hobbe and my fate cards (which I wanted to post up in my room). But in the end, all that really matters is my game. I still get my extra content and DVD. So, it could have been much worse.

Alright, I must admit, I really wanted that hobbe. It would of triggered that kiddish side of me once again :lol: So lets not blame anyone, because the stab has already been dealt...but yeah, still a bit of a bummer.

What happened? Did the factory explode or something? It seems like there may have been a problem in the manufacturing end of the game.

Here's a repost of what I put at Lionhead

I'm a bit confused how can you have supply chain issues with a limited edition product? If it's limited then that means that there isn't enough for everyone.

Microsoft should have just come up with a third SKU and called it something like the "Special Edition" that didn't have those items but still had the exclusive content and made it 69.99. Shops would have to figure out who gets the limited edition based on who pre-ordered them probably by date and who was there upon release.

So image 200 Fable fans waiting in line at 11:55 pm. An employee registers names and pre-order dates on a laptop for all 200 since they only have say 25 the first 25 that got the preorder would get one and the rest could get the new item at $10 cheaper. Some people would choose the "Special Edition" over the Limited Edition anyway. All in all it would look like Microsoft and Lionhead were adding an option rather than taking something away from fans.

I bet making this post felt like throwing a match at a swimming full of gasoline. Thanks for the update Sam.

I wonder if the Qee Hobbe was made. There's nothing on their site about it
