Busted Big Daddy page up and running

by Justin McElroy { Aug 25th 2007 at 9:20AM }

Could we have just a moment to talk to you about a problem sweeping our nation? It's an issue plaguing BioShock Limited Edition figurines, making Big Daddies feel positively small. The problem isn't in their heads: They are the sufferers of a rare medical complication called DD ... or Drill Dysfunction.

The main symptom, a broken drill bit, is easy to spot even to the casual observer, part of what makes disease so insidious. But now, there's help. Please, talk to your Big Daddy's doctor about DD to see if this treatment is right for him. Then contact 2K and let their patented rehabilitation techniques therapeutically repair DD, without the use of harsh pharmaceuticals. You'll even be sent a free limited edition art book to peruse while you wait. Please, fill out this support form today, and have your daddy feeling big again.

Great. Maybe one day they'll acknowlege this is an issue for people in the UK too, and let us get a replacement :(

Stop posting Bioshock news, would you kindly?

Christopher Grant @ Aug 25th 2007 1:48PM

Falk3r: no.

Falk3r, are you a sad little PS3 owner?

"Stop posting Bioshock news, would you kindly?"

Good one.

Oh the HUMANITY! I'm not sure how you people can even get out of bed with your little micro dolls all busted up. Maybe you can cover the break, for now at least, with the $130 Halo 3 MC micro helmet. Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys.

ehm, perhaps screw this and use a drop of glue and get on with your life?

oh no wait wait, "OMG WE PAYD XTRA FOR THISSS!!!!111"

Yes, you could glue it and have a figure with no possible appreciation in value, or you could get a replacement and a printed copy of the art book that's likely to become a collectors item. What would a smart person do? Oh, that's right. Get a replacement.

Erm, so what about us folks in the UK? My Big Daddy arrived damaged, drill piece chipped, a finger snapped off, and a chunk out of its knee. The only other person I know who purchased the collectors edition also had the same problem with the drill bit. So why aren't we eligible for an exchange?

baby sea tuna @ Aug 26th 2007 9:52AM

I think that chunk is supposed to be out of his knee. So...you got that going for you.

Has the whining really been bad enough to comment on it, Ganrob & horngreen?

I got a broken figure and didn't complain about it, but I'm glad to hear that they're replacing them. It's sorta their responsibility, after all. Sell a broken product, offer a fix or replacement.

Weird thing is my drill wasn't broken, the other hand was.

And people, please don't take advantage of 2K's generosity. If your figure didn't come broken, don't try to get it replaced for the bonus. ( You can download the artbook for free anyway. ) You'll just end up hurting people who actually need this deal to replace their broken figures.

I have THESE coming in the mail.

I have a desk at work covered with gundam and gits goshipon, and I have a Zaku II version 2.0 in a victory pose next to my computer. So I can understand the desire for various gadgets and trickets. Granted, once my mouse arm starts to sting I take a short break and start drawing, having that stuff next to me is always inspiring. But regardless.
