If like me you are a sucker for gaming tat but missed out on the Fallout 3 Collectors Edition when it was released but always wanted a lunchbox you probably will never do anything with but didn't want to spend more than £15 then today is your lucky day as they appear to re releasing it.

I don't know why, but I preordered one. Thanks for costing me £15 I didn't need to spend!

The exact reasons why people collect things are unknown, the psychological reasoning is >
"It has been speculated that the widespread appeal of collecting is connected to the hunting and gathering that was once necessary for human survival. Collecting is also associated with memory by association and the need for the human brain to catalogue and organise information and give meaning to ones actions; the psychological aspects of which are shared between both sexes."

Wow! Think I paid about £9.99 for my Fallout 3 with this and the bobblehead. It's quite small but would fit a sandwich and a bag of crisps in.

Yes, I wish I grabbed one back then but I didn't know I liked Fallout as much as I do now, this lunchbox (or the original ones) go for closer to £30 on eBay.

That's what I think I paid for mine. It was in a Gamestation lead up to Xmas deal, they did one deal a day. Ah memories :smiley:

Link says this is fallout 4 tin, is this the same as the fallout 3 one?

Yea, from the description:
"Vault-Tec metal lunchbox originally from the Fallout 3 Collector's Edition of the game
Identical to the Vault-Tec lunchbox depicted within the Fallout 3 game world
A functional lunchbox"

They are also doing a pre nuclear version as well. I think this one looks better though :smiley:

Tempted to get both to use as actual lunchboxes.
Is that why everyone else is buying them?
