Official BIG DADDY FIGURINE Announcement!!! (BioShock)

Some exciting news just came out of the Cult of Rapture about the damaged Big Daddy figurines from BioShock. This was a rumor in the past and now it’s completely true. It’s sad that some people will pick up a damaged figurine in the limited edition boxes, but 2k will fix the problem. Right now, only a very small percentage of them will actually be damaged. That’s the only bad news, which isn’t really all that bad. The good news is that if you do get a damaged figurine, they will replace it with a new one and also send you a printed BioShock art book that should be worth some dinero.
If you receive one of the bad ones, visit www.2kgames.com/bioshock/busted and enter you information to receive a pre-paid box to ship the broken Big Daddy back to them. Your art book will be shipped as a consolation prize for the trouble and the time it will take to receive the new figure. One more thing guys. Don’t try to scam them and break the figure yourself to get the book. They know precisely what the defect is.
That is very good of them. Many, I’m sure, would charge you to have it repaired or at least charge posting, but to do it all for free and then include an extra? Well, that isn’t bad, is it? Kudo’s for them.
yeah i thought it was an nice offer. Most companies would really just place the blame on shipping or let the retailers deal with the issue.
Am I the only one that’s hoping to receive a busted Big Daddy figurine tomorrow? All I know is that I’ll be throwing the box I receive in the back seat of my car rather violently in hopes a limb comes off that sucker.
“Don’t try to scam them and break the figure yourself to get the book. They know precisely what the defect is.”
LOL! Sure because the figurine can only be broken one way? Get real.
what about big daddy figurines in the uk . website only offers replacements for u.s and canadian figurines
I’ve been waiting almost 2 months to receive the Mail-Back package for my broken figurine. Only received 1 response from 2Kgames (the Auto-Email “We received your question, A response will come in 24 hrs”) That was a week ago.
Finally talked to a human, Seems like they were waiting for the new figurines to be made (and also the books). Boxes due to be shipped in September.
