Bling Gnome Collector's item?
#69121 - 07/21/08 12:34 PM

Just Curious,

I have seen 'real life' bling gnomes in pictures...how do you receive one? Is there a Dungeon Runners Collector's Edition?

I'm an avid game collector and I saw these gnomes in various pictures - I want one!! I remember seeing it on RipperMcGee's widget page as well as an E3 swag picture I believe. I've seen others as well but those two come to mind.

Linky...

FYI - I'm the one who flew to Austin (my daughter and I, actually) for the NCSoft meet-n-greet. I've also written a few published pieces for mmoevolution (now defunct) and GameBunny.com, created the widgets/facebook applications, etc...

Also, my gnomey homey isn't for sale - he's my precious...

Unfortunately I think the bling gnomes would be too big to put in a Collector Edition's box. They are kinda big. Now a bling gnome blow up doll would work, but let's not go there....

Speaking of merchandise we're gonna have some Dungeon Runners t-shirts for sale at both Comic Con and Penny Arcade Expo. The game box too As of right now these are the only two places where you can purchase the tees. I also don't know how much they cost at the moment, but know that money is going to a good cause - to us.

The DR t-shirts are green and they have two bling gnomes on the front. It says "Riding dirty with my gnomies" on the front. On the back we have the DR logo.

I need to post a snapshot, but my tee needs to be washed It's the same tee Anson is wearing in my facebook album:

There's a front and back photo in there, but it is a camera phone, so the pics aren't super good.

And Me and Magnus both run Fansites of the uber spastic panda, so we got one too. There were 100 or 200 made of them, I believe 100 tho. They were handcrafted by the devs, and the original one was made by a "QA guy" I was told. Anyway.. they were only given to associates and fansite/community DR owners. Owh yeah.. I already expected it to become a collectors item at some point. Im sorry, not for sale and never will.. the one I have, that is.

I wish you good luck on your Quest, searching for one thats for sale is gonna be real hard, sadly. Good luck.

Oh sorry I tried searching and didnt find that this has already been talked about.

Looks like it will be impossible to find. Maybe I'll get lucky when I move to Austin next month and find one on craigslist or something haha!

Yeah.. I start to doubt whenever its 1/200 and they just found it funny to make 200 of 1/200, or its just something else.. I heard one of the devs definitely say 100. Well, who cares

Hmmm... normally in a limited edition run, they are labeled 2/200, 3/200, etc.

If they're all 1/200, you can't really be sure it's a limited edition. (Hence, I can stop crying that I didn't get one. Besides, they prolly make the chocolate taste terrible.)

It was done as a joke. I believe there's 1 that actually made it to number 2, before they decided to make them all 1/200. Personally, I think it's funny. We're all #1!

That was an interesting few days for sure. There was something so wrong about when my first job that day was gluing the coin, then drawing hearts.
