Lack of toys

I just wanna state how surprised I am of the lack of toys and figures. For having "30 million players" I would have thought RARE would put out more then just a few bobblehead

Are you perhaps refering to merchandise kind ser?

Plenty of those on the merch store, including figures.

No sir, I'm not speaking of the 100+ t shirts or some posters, I saw the 10 pages of those. I'm referring to the lack of TOYS, besides the two figures and kraken bookends. For example, all the treasure chests, kegs, animals, ships, shops, enemies, NPCs, barrels etc etc.

But ser, you sound a bit too old to play with toys!

Your never too old to play with toys, or want for a hoard of figures all over your gaming cave cabinets. How dare you suggest such a thing!

Please forgive ser, you are absolutely correct!

I've always wished for a mens' lair myself too. Can't imagine a more prestige design for it than pirate! Some day I will have one! A 100m2 basement with polished concrete floor and 0 sunglight. Couch with TV in the middle. Several gaming stations on one side. Pool table on the other side. Gaming and beer merch all around the place. SOME DAY!!!

Granted. And yes, as a 34yo players of games since '93, the game room was a nonnegotiable in the marriage pact. I is what I is. She also has her hobby stuff, also was nonnegotiable. And now I have 4 kids to pass this hobby onto. I've been with RARE since the literal beginnings. There is even a legit bookshelf and wall space for everything from banjo kazooie, conkers, donkey Kong country, old RARE poster and signs, etc. My ender 3v2 printer has made most of my figures and stuff, only for lack of actual stuff from our folks at RARE.

Hah, my wife also had to find a way to accept my gaming side!

I think she's grown to appreciate it quite a lot throughout the years. She's mentioned several times, how her friends talk about their men going MIA for days or till too late (early?) in the nights. While she knows exactly where I am and what I'm doing 90% of the times hahah. The only times I could go MIA is when there's snow on the mountain and my friends literally kidnap me for unplanned snowboarding. But the moment she sees Cassiopeia (my board) is missing, she knows again where I am and what I'm doing.

Anyway, I'd be happy to see your lair matey, if you're willing to make us a picture/video tour that is! I'm sure Rare would appreciate it too, since you're a fan from the early days.

There is a line of Halo like Megabloks called "Pyrates"

They are literally SOT's toys. I don't know why they just don't re release them with SOT's logo.

Got the skelly Galleon on my desk!

I can't help but feel there is a connection. Like the original game premise was based on this toy line.. They so closely resemble what's in game lawsuits can happen!
