Great buy I ordered the locust drone and it exceeded my expectations. First of all the detail on the figure was amazing and it was also well articulated. NECA did a great job of incorporating both. Secondly, it came with metal COG tags. A must for a GOW fan...
Only drawback was that the pistol holster came loose, but it can be stuck back together...just didn't get around to doing it as yet.
Amazon.comAn Amazon.com Exclusive, the Fallout 3: Survival Edition, is the ultimate Fallout 3 package that includes a life-size replica of the Pip-Boy 3000, the wrist-mounted device worn by characters in-game. The Pip-Boy 3000 has been painstakingly recreated and modified for real world display as a digital clock. In addition to the Pip-Boy 3000, the Survival Edition will include all of the items from the Fallout 3 Collector’s Edition including the Fallout 3 game, a customized, metal Vault-Tec lunch box, 5" Vault Boy Bobblehead, The Art of Fallout 3 hardcover book, and The Making of Fallout 3 DVD. According to Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks, "The Survival Edition offers gamers the unique opportunity to own a piece of video game history along with a collection of limited edition items – it’s the definitive Fallout 3 package." From the creators of award-winning Oblivion, Fallout 3 features one of the most realized game worlds ever made. Create any kind of character you want and explore the open wastes of post-apocalyptic Washington, D.C. Every minute is a fight for survival asyou encounter Super Mutants, Ghouls, Raiders, and other dangers of the Wasteland. Prepare for the future. The third game in the Fallout series, Fallout 3 is a singleplayer action role-playing game (RPG) set in a post-apocalyptic Washington DC. Combining the horrific insanity of the Cold War era theory of mutually assured destruction gone terribly wrong, with the kitschy naivety of American 1950s nuclear propaganda, Fallout 3 will satisfy both players familiar with the popular first two games in its series as well as those coming to thefranchise for the first time.
The Story: Vault 101 – Jewel of the Wastes For 200 years, Vault 101 , a fallout shelter, has faithfully served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Though the global atomic war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101 enjoy a lifefree from the constant stress of the outside world. Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants are all no match for superior Vault-Tec engineering. Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown. Leaving the only home you've ever known, you emerge from the Vault into the harsh Wasteland sun to search for your father, and the truth.

REVIEW
Expect modding for true Fallout. Pipboy clock is a waste. First of all, there's not much reason to bother with the Survival Edition. The clock is sort of neat, but chances are it won't work or be painted in the first place. Mine is, and works, but it eats (3) AA batteries every few days. Even a $5 Wal-Mart clearance clock has an alarm, if not a radio, etc. This in person, however, is absolute rock-bottom quality.
As for the game, it seems quite good at first, but fans of previous "true" Fallout games will see that it too falls far short of the mark, and others will as well. Replayability, perfect atmosphere, engaging storyline, quality voice acting and memorable characters... everything truly vital to "Fallout" is gone. There's even a "vampire" den now. I learned to like Oblivion, but this is just Oblivion done poorly, with a borrowed face.
Oh, and not to mention that it uses the same engine as Oblivion, which STILL has the "micro-stuttering" regardless of how well your computer can handle it. I'm a programmer. I know these things. ;) Bethesda still refuses to address the issue since Oblivion. They began by using a BROKEN game engine!
The skills and perks are nerfed and altered, and traits are non-existant. The wasteland seems pleasingly barren at first, but eventually you realize it's just... empty. The proper atmosphere just isn't there, and I find myself wanting to play the old games that capped at 640x480 resolution! The wonderful "random encounters" from previous games are now mild at best and occur onlyat preset locations. So much for random. Voice acting quality isn't horrible, but the fact that they use only a few voice actors for the entire game IS. Every ghoul has the same voice, as does every "old man", etc. etc. etc.
You can also heal or repair everything by pausing the "real world", and heal instantly by loading up on food or even just water. Last time I checked, food and drink don't heal you. They just keep you from dying. Or just take a 1 hour nap to heal and restore all of your horribly maimed limbs!
The weapons and equipment set is very small and lost nearly all flavor of previous games. There's no flavor of random events to change it up either. No lost ammo, weapon failures. Only a "jam" that makes you cock a gun twice when you reload. The combat balancing and calculations are fatally flawed as well, Ex: different calculations via VATS; even human enemies can take 50 to 100+ minigun bullets to the face at point-blank range without dying; and get this.. bullet damage depends on skill???? Because everyone knows that the way you pull a trigger directly effects muzzle energy and muzzle velocity!
No... bullets should be hit or miss, and the game is a definite "miss" for Fallout series. The only way to even moderately salvage things is with 3rd party complete overhaul mods - Which don't really even exist yet. Hopefully there will still be enough old fans who aren't disgusted, and will want to re-create the game the way it's SUPPOSED to be. We'll see.

REVIEW
Awesome, except the tshirt is huge. Seriously. The tshirt wasn't just made for big boned people. It was made for either absurdly tall people or obese people. because of the placement of the print, it can't even be modified to a smaller size. Sure its great for people that wear XL (although it's more like XXXL), but what about people that wear S?
Amazon.com Doug's Big Game immerses the gamer in the world of Doug and his alter ego Quailman, as they go on an action-packed adventure to find the missing Patti Mayonnaise.

REVIEW
Too confusing for younger kids and too short I love the show Doug (the old episodes on Nickeloden not those new ones) so I thought I'd love this Doug game. I did, until I beat the game, about a half hour after I first started playing. The game is played at a 3/4 overhead perspective like Zelda. You have to walk around Bluffington and accomplish tasks. All these tasks are are finding people and talking to them. After you accomplish a goal there is a fighting sequence where you are Quailman. These fights are simple and short yet are fusutrating as when you get hit you can't move for a few seconds. The problem with the main game is that, you are given very little help with what you need to do. For example, Bebe tells you to find something she doesn't have. How would you know where to go? I knew where to go because I've been watching the show for 10 years and figured out that you have to see Mr. Dink because he always has weird and expensive gadgets in the show. Someone who wouldn't put 2 and 2 together like I did would have a hard timefiguring these puzzles out. Another problem is that once you beat the game, you'll know exactly what to do to beat the game again and the game can be beaten in ten minutes the second time through. And to make matters worse, you must be able to read to be able to play this game, there is not a lot of text but you have to read everything carefully to get any help whatsoever in where you need to go. Early readers will have trouble as well. I suggest that this game be played by anyone who is 7 to about age 12. If you buy the game for someone older than 12, the game will be over before it starts.I liked the design of the game, it's just a shame NewKidCo didn't make the game about 5 times as long as it is.
