This just in from the insane world of auctioned life size gaming related characters:

You can head on over to Samsclub.com and place your bid on a Fallout 3, Brotherhood of Steel statue standing 7 feet 11 inches tall and weighing in at a svelte 120 lbs. Of course you are going to have to be willing to part with upwards of $300 (the current high bid as of now) to take this bad boy home.

I must admit, I own a life size statue of Spider-Man that I won from Blockbuster Video a few years back. As a warning to anyone seriously considering dropping the cash to bid on a geeked-out item like this, I’ll let you know that it was pretty cool at first, but it’s now utilized as a laundry holder by my girlfriend.

Warning aside, a giant Brootherhood of Steel statue would totally help transform your unfinished basement into the perfect Fallout gaming den.

If you are interested in bidding, here’s the link again.

This is an awesome opportunity for a collector to own a piece of Nintendo’s gaming past. The Topps Vault is auctioning off four original pieces of Nintendo card art, with the last auction ending 6 days from now, and the earliest ending in just under 6 hours.

Each auction consists of a hand painted color layer and art overlay (as shown below). I used Photoshop to create the effect the two would have when placed over each other in the headline image above so that you could see what the finished cards looked like.

Check out the auction, and make your bid before it’s too late.

If you enjoyed Bioshock (a lot), can read dutch (a little), and want something really cool to hang your jacket on when you come home from work (you are going to need a job for this one), then maybe this giant replica of Big Daddy is for you. At 7 feet 2 inches, the statue will most likely tower over you, but just think of how cool it will look in your living room!

We can’t read dutch, but we ran a section of the listing through babel fish and based on what you can see below it is our understanding that the proceeds of this auction will be given to the World Wildlife Federation.

“The turnover of this sale by auction helps entirely to world nature fund. The highest [bidder] get personally after the sale by auction reported. You can [bid] up to and including 3 October.”

If you are going to bid on this puppy, there are a few more things you may want to know. According to our translation, it weighs around 100 lbs and is made of fiberglass with a metal base. Last but not least, the auction ends this Sunday at 8AM, Central European Time. Good luck.
