I'm trying to become an '04, but it's not working too well."

So I take it that this thread is devolving into a bunch of people being angry over not getting what they wanted/people arguing over how much something is worth?

nice.

No. I'm just jelly. No other emotions. I didn't get a Swag Bag, so I gain nothing but sadness by reading this thread. LOL

Not really, I don't recall any recent hostility. Everyone has their bags now, so now we're just discussing general swag.

Make choices, and don't look back.

So how long will all the 20th Anniversary Swag be availble?


I think they said September, but I'm not 100% sure. Or maybe until the supply runs out?

One page back you told chubbz to "STFU". That's not hostility? Lol.

On topic: I'm still waiting for a couple things I've bought off eBay then I'm going to have to spend a buttload on frames. Can't wait to have my MC concept art and On The Edge prints on my wall, though.

The "On the Edge" print is beautiful in person, and I never got the MC concept art, I should have though. It kills me that I didn't get one when I had the chance.

You ordered both off eBay? And Michael's has really cheap frames if you have one by where you live. My frames were pretty cheap, I got about 4 frames for less than 30 bucks

No, I bought them from Bungie. I've just bought some other Halo stuff on eBay and I don't feel like making multiple trips to Michael's so I'm just waiting until I get it all.

Yeah, I'm hoping to get a good deal on frames. Last time I bought a couple frames for some webcomic prints I ended up spending $120.

  • 08.28.2011 11:28 PM PDT

I got my MC character key anyone wanna see?

I hope someone else bids on the other 2 on ebay or I'll feel ripped off lol.

Can anyone tell me what this would be worth? I got one in one of my Swag Bags and I can't find anything else about it.

BTW mine is stil sealed in the bag


Please don't take heed to this, but here is a link for one that sold Halo E3 '03 figure. Is yours an 03'? Or '04? The price seems insane, I really have no idea why it went for that much. Granted, I've never seen it before, but over $2,000? It could be because it was never actually released, or it was a missprint, something like that. Anyways, the figure like yours would be worth well over $100. Maybe more.
Mine is an E3 '04

I got one. $31 with $5 shipping.

Also I don't know if anyone knows but McFarlane has a special Halo 10th anniversary toy set that came out/ or will be out very soon. Plus some other 10th Anniversary Toys that were ComicCon exclusives.
I only got one ComicCon exclusive. The Platinum Master Chief
Their not listed for sale on spawn.com yet. But here is the links. Link 1
Link 2

They only had 1 in stock for each on Amazon, and since I have their store card, I get 6 months no interest on orders of $150 or more. So I got them all except for Fearless Leaders set. Retail stores should be getting them soon since they are listed to be released in August. I also got with them the Steel Spartan ArtFX Statue. One was listed at $45 with $10 shipping brand new in box. I couldn't resist. I think I'm done right now for my Halo Collection. I need a break. I went a little happy with collecting Halo and Zelda stuff. Need to stop for now.

MC has a pretty cool 3D effect because MC is a plastic piece like 1mm or 2 from the background.

Nobody seemed to want to the character key. I was the second bidder. It's to bad you had pay a little more.

I think with my next paycheck I should get some custom framing done. I have 7 or 8 things to get framed. Not all Halo, but a lot is. The last thing Halo I will be getting this year is Halo Anniversary. I'm going to be getting a new TV come Black Friday, or around then, so I'm done for Halo swag this year. Still need to post some pictures that I haven't yet.

  • 08.29.2011 8:44 PM PDT

The beta is super awesome. RogueAssassin27 is now the person who got my Totodile's nickname. Hoo-hah! Relevant.inb4lock

Are there frames that have glass that will prevent sun days from fading the poster?

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

I'm glad I was able to get one, just a little bummed about getting the Haiti Quake Relief SI shirt as the shirt in the bag. Also, was everyone's sketches poorly done Xerox scans? My ONI "sketches" have a quarter inch black line on the left hand side.

Yes you would want to use UV-glass (aka Ultra Violet Glass). It costs more than standard glass though. You also could go with UV-Plexiglass which is a plastic material, lighter than actual glass, and probably cheaper. IF you, or anyone else here, decides to frame something like a print, etc make sure if you have it professionally done to NEVER have it drymounted. When you have something drymounted, it devalues the item considerably. Assuming many of you here who have prints want to frame them, you basically would want to have them loose between the glass (or plexiglass) and the backing of the frame.

Drymounting is the process whereas the framer will place the print or poster on a special styrofoam backing board that has been sprayed down for them to adhere to themselves. It is then placed in a vacuum-like machine which removes any bubbles, etc from the process. The downside of this is that since you have now altered the original print/poster's original state, the item now has lost considerable value.

Also you will want to make sure you use acid-free backing. Standard backing board or matte-board can yellow over the years and ruin your print/poster. Acid-free backing and matte board will have a rough feel to it when you run your hand over it, and be off-white in color. Acidic backing will be whiter in color and have a smooth feel to it.

Lastly if you decide to go with inexpensive frames, you can generally find discount coupons from retailers such as Michaels Arts & Crafts, and Aaron Brothers Framing in your Sunday newspaper ad section.

They are everywhere all of sudden probably because the Halo Fest store had them for sale for around $75-$90 over the weekend at the PAX convention. If you want something really rare print-wise, they had an exclusive Halo Fest print for sale called "Smoking Indoors" by Eddie Smith, that was limited to only 300 numbered copies featuring Master Chief. Quite large too, Eddie made an appearance on Sunday for one hour to sign stuff. I know that on Friday and Saturday about 200 of the 300 prints were sold, but then on Sunday, I didn't see but only a few people having their prints they had bought signed by Eddie, so autographed ones do exist, just maybe less than ten from what I saw. I did see Eddie draw a Warthog sketch one of them for a guy which looked really cool since it was in silver ink and made it unique having an original Eddie Smith drawing on it.

I am sure most people bought the print to collect, but some of them will appear on eBay, and probably some of the signed ones too. I got one signed, it comes with a certificate of authenticity about it, etc.

Congratz and also I idnd't look in the toys section. Just search "rare halo" or "limited halo" or "halo print" and then go to newly listed every day.

Ah. I usually just search "halo" and look in Entertainment Memorabilia and Video Games. I guess I should start doing something like what you do so I don't miss things like this.
