    hi seen this today in gamestop tallaght and tbh its really not worth the price they are asking. its an island cheap plastic with halo characters all around it and again they are all cheap plastic.

    dont want to upset anyone over this but i cancelled my legendary since seeing this and have opted for the collectors edition instead which is 65 rather than 130 for legendary.

    just giving everyone an option to walk from this while you can, i was so disappointed with it tbh

    Limited Edition is 59.99 in Xtra-Vision.
    Legendary is 109.99 if people are still interested.

    Looks to me to be a great figurine/statue considering the price-to-size ratio.

    I have to get it....made a deal with my teenager.
    However they will keep the statue on display so possible flimsiness is less of an issue.

    Got my legendary edition and the statue is delish, the detail is AMAZING. Some of the weapons are a bit iffy to get onto the statue but once they're on you won't be taking them off, well worth the cash IMO and the AMOUNT of stuff you get in the collector's edition eclipses every other collectors edition I've ever bought. Overall, great value for money.

    Yeah, I love it. They rock backdrop is arguably weak, but love the Statue as a whole.

    yeah I must say im very happy with it after all this fuss! I agree the rock base is pretty cheap looking but as a whole I think it looks great


    ...and the game isnt half bad either

    I have it, I think the model is excellent. It's lighter than I expected - production and shipping costs most likely dictating how much and what kind of plastic to use. I had difficulty in putting Jorge's machine gun into his hand, but the other weapons went on without problem. Ultimately, it's gonna be gathering dust, but it does look pretty cool :)

    The Diary and all the other stuff that came with the Limited Edition too are amazing, that's definitely worth the few extra sheckles if anyone's unsure.
