Fallout 3 Vault Boy Puppets!!!
Posted by Brian Crecente at 12:00 AM on August 15, 2008
Trumpcard's Two Cents says they've found a promotional company that appears to be gearing up to start producing Vault Boy puppets. Perhaps these cute Fallout 3 guys are an offshoot of Penny Arcade's Vault 77 comic. Either way, I just want me a Vault Boy to yell at.

OT: Has anyone had any luck pre-ordering games online? Specifically what i need to know is... do you get them before or after the release date?
I want to pre-order Fallout 3. But if i can get it faster by walking down to the local store. Then Ill just do that.

The face needs to be rounder, it has too long of a face.

@: You usually get them the day of (if they expressly state that) or after depending on shipping method. Overnight will get it to you the next day after release of course.
Why not preorder from your local store? Why online?

I give it about an hour after their release before someone makes it a wang puppet.
Those are pics I don't want to see.

@Raziel66: I had EB Games sell games out from under me that I pre-ordered. That's why I don't pre-order in local stores anymore myself! If stores let me pay IN FULL and guaranteed it would be in stock until I went down to pick it up, then I'd consider doing it again. But if they are going to be a pain in the butt with their pre-order policies my moneys just going to go to Amazon instead.
With Amazon and overnight shipping I've gotten the game the day of more often then not. There are only a few games I've ever done that for however, normally I'll just run down to the local Best Buy and pick it up the day of delivery, or just wait a day or two for it to show up in the mail if I bothered to pre-order.

Figures that Penny Arcade would inspire such desire for hand puppets. Actually, I'm not sure why it figures they would, but obviously they did, because I want one too!

@3inst3in: It's true. Although, I have two of the companion cube plushies. My fiance had to have them. She keeps one at work, as she generally works alone. It's adorable.
I totally want a Vault Boy puppet to talk to my Companion Cube. I'm such a consumer whore.

@NateN: Gotcha. Never had that happen to me, but I've had friends that got screwed like that. I signed up the Amazon Prime membership last christmas... love it! I just need to remember that I can use it on game purchases :(

@NateN: That smacks of that Jerry Sienfield sketch about when he reserved a car, but they didn't have any left.
I don't think they understand what pre-ordering means aparently. That 5 bucks gaurentees you a copy. If it doesn't, why the hell am I pre-ordering!? Why would I give you five bucks early to reserve a game?

Fallout 3 Vault Boy Puppets?
-Somehow I dont think there will be the same demand as LBP's Sackboy.

The puppet is based on the Penny Arcade vault boy puppet from their series of Fallout 3 web comics. It's not that far off.

Looks nothing like the artwork from the original games. I'll pass.
