I was in one of the closing stores and noted it had been already marked down from $248 to $7X, and enjoyed the additional stock clearance discount.

Checked online and EB Games eBay still had it listed for $124 (still cheaper than any other reseller though), however I just received an email today saying it had been marked down to $79.

Don't forget EB Games gift cards can be purchased at a discount (I personally get 8% off via Suncorp Rewards), whilst those who only have eBay discounts should try their eBay listing: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/292852453065

There's a little Fallout 76 branding on it, but from memory not much on the internal dark red box.

    For $250, I hope that screen actually turned on! Wow.

    • XVX on 16/01/2020 - 09:08

      Nope, screen doesn't function. Even $79 doesn't really seem like a good price point for what it is.

        Far out…. not Fallout ;).

        $79 for a piece of plastic that does nothing. So in other words only massive diehard cosplay people bought it for $250 and now they have too many in stock. I agree, $79 doesn't even seem like a deal.

        • Clear on 16/01/2020 - 11:17

          They sold additional modules for the Pip-boy including a light up screen and FM radio. They even have a Bluetooth speaker stand.

          • Jackson on 16/01/2020 - 15:26

            @Clear: what does the light up screen show? is it actually useful for anything?

          now they have too many in stock

          No kidding, all my nearest stores have it in stock which is very uncommon

          I'm not sure what the quality of this is like, but people spend a lot of money on scale models of characters from movies/games. How is this different?

          Its a model kit with like 100 pieces, what do you expect?

    • tommy-darko on 18/01/2020 - 12:37

      At the very least, they should have made it so you can slide your touchscreen phone in to it.

        good idea!

    Question:
    Does it turn on and make sound or connect to the actual game?
    Answer:
    No. It is a static display prop. However The Wand Company, which makes it, will be offering “Upgrade Kits” that will add sound, lights, and other features.

    what a PoS…man at least make it some sort of bluetooth speaker

    • blkx on 16/01/2020 - 09:06

      Haha, totally agree

    • xoom on 16/01/2020 - 09:24

      If this was a bluetooth speaker. Might consider it.

    • kwchaz on 16/01/2020 - 10:32

      Regarding the upgrade kits, there's nothing available online saying that ever eventuated. :(

      • Thefong on 16/01/2020 - 11:04

        The Wand Company website has listings for 3 seperate items? A light up stats screen, a stand, and an fm radio yransmitter

        • kwchaz on 16/01/2020 - 13:24

          Huh I couldn't find them when I went searching before. Thanks for the tip!

          • Clear on 16/01/2020 - 15:11

            @kwchaz: Bethesda has them listed on their online store too

      Yeah I was hoping for V.A.T.S functionality :/

      • pkjai on 16/01/2020 - 12:41

        You'll also need a functional gun for VATS to work with

  • scrimshaw on 16/01/2020 - 09:09

    It's mostly just a empty plastic shell that you have to put together. However there's quite a bit of empty space inside it and for aspiring tinkerers you can probably shove a bluetooth speaker into it and have it play Take Me Home Country Roads..

    • juki on 16/01/2020 - 09:46

      given my skillset that will take more money and more time than a rainy weekend

    • Diji1 on 16/01/2020 - 11:17

      Take Me Home Country Roads

      That would trigger my PTSD from Fallout 76 though.

    Think you could mod it with a raspberry pi?

    • aaronsd on 16/01/2020 - 17:08

      Yes, with some patience, an LCD screen and a lot of creativity, you could probably pull something nice off. But if you don't have a 3D printer for the components you'll need to design and print, no point imo. But if you have a 3D printer you could probably make something nicer anyway…

    RRP was way too high for this.

  • bailbondsh on 16/01/2020 - 11:14

    i'd probably pick it up for 30-40…

    • FireRunner on 16/01/2020 - 11:19

      Same, it might be fun to mod but $79 is still too high

      • Jackson on 16/01/2020 - 15:28

        and I doubt it's very durable if it's 100 pieces that are glued (?) together?

      Yeah end cost to me was $48.58, which I felt was acceptable.

  • Hinee on 16/01/2020 - 11:22

    I think for something like this value is really in the eye of the beholder. Over two hunj is a bit steep, but for fans of Fallout this is a super cool prop. God knows I've spent plenty of cash on bits of branded plastic with no function.

  • King Steuart on 16/01/2020 - 12:05

    I grabbed one thanks op. Best thing about fallout 76 is all the fallout loot going cheap because they thought the game was going to be a huge success.

    Grabbed the $9 cone incense burner and the $19 power core too.

    79 FOR THIS R U MAD? XD

  • syousef on 16/01/2020 - 15:15

    I had no idea Fallout had the fan base to sustain such pricey merch. Especially when the quality of the small parts looks like something you'd expect in a supermarket giveaway with every $20-30 of groceries. To each their own I suppose.

    • Jackson on 16/01/2020 - 15:29

      I know it was popular, but the last game was universally panned for some reason, not sure why, but it dropped like a brick in price.

      • edfoo on 16/01/2020 - 16:37

        Due to the fallout of Fallout 76, thought they would have been asking only 76 cents for this now.

  • edfoo on 16/01/2020 - 16:35

    I thought you receive a Pip-Boy for free at the start of the game, so why should we pay any money for one, even in real life.

  • carlscott1982 on 16/01/2020 - 17:20

    Plasma gun for $100 is kinda cool. Not for me, but if you like it I think its decent looking:

    • Fred on 17/01/2020 - 08:44

      Looks good until you start leaving goo piles around the house and the cat doesn't respawn.

    • Clear on 17/01/2020 - 11:31

      Disappointing it doesn't play sound. I bought the HL2 gravity gun a few years back on clearance and that did!

    • maskedmustelid on 17/01/2020 - 15:50

      It seems neat at a glance, until you find out that the real thing looks far more cheap and plasticy than the grimed weathered looking look the store page uses.

  • Oridiian on 16/01/2020 - 18:49

    What is the "stock clearance discount"? My local store shows them as in-stock and I would be interested @ $48.58 instead of the $79. Was it an open box or something special? Or are they clearing them all out for 48.58?

    Thanks in advance =)

      You will get 40% off as it's in the loot category and you'll need to visit a store that is permanently closing down. which is one of these

      ACT - Majura Park
      NSW - Blacktown, Rockdale, Winston Hills, Birkenhead Point, Inverell, Tamworth
      QLD - Inala, Bribie Island, Underwood, Cleveland, Lutwyche
      SA - Adelaide City Cross, Brickworks, Hallet Cove, Harbourtown Adelaide
      VIC - Dandenong, Hamilton
      WA - Dianella, Kalamunda

      • Oridiian on 16/01/2020 - 19:00

        Oh cool, thank you very much for the info!

    Waste of money.

  • ocdgamer on 18/01/2020 - 09:24

    Bought one of these when they were discounted to $120. Fun to put together and overall looks pretty neat on a shelf.
    It does come with some issues.

    1. The strap is garbage and won't tighten properly
    2. Tape ejector is jammed by default, and thus needs to be modified if you wish to use it.

    This was certainly a rip off at its original price, but for Fallout collectors, it's a nice piece of useless crap to put on your shelf. I'd say it's worth it at the current price.
