I bought a PC and it weighs 6 lbs 5.2 oz (101.2 oz). Did yours have the bobble head in it?

I kept mine sealed but opened up my Xbox to submit a bobblehead missing claim. Still haven't heard anything back. This is ridiculous.

I was missing my bobble too... I've been dealing with 2K for the last 2 weeks. My suggestion is be ready to wait a while for any help.

Yeah I haven't heard anything at all since wasting time sending them the shit they asked for to get a replacement. I'll give it a little more time but if they want to ignore the problem it's cool with me, when their next game I want releases I'll just be sure to show them the same amount of respect they've shown me.

Keep an eye on your local Best Buy! Especially if it's the last hour before closing! Went in tonight to look for a Mass Effect 3 LE for cheap (no luck) but actually saw a BB employee look around, turn to his station cabinet (you know the ones at the game section), bend down, pull out a Borderlands 2 ULC for PC and place it on the counter! He looked around again, seems he got a call on his earpiece, then left his station.

I couldn't help it....I couldn't believe it....he left it there on the counter...and I snatched that puppy up! I proceeded to look around at the rest of the games with this monstrosity in my grubby hands. Five minutes later, employee comes back, looks a bit confused, says something to his earpiece, then starts walking around. He turns the corner, sees me in the PS3 section, looks at me holding the box, mutters something under his breath, turns back around and walks away. Two minutes later another BB employee turns the corner, looks at me, then turns around and walks away.

I get to the checkout, start to pay the cashier, and yet another BB employee hovers around me, then I audibly hear, "Yep, checking around but looks like he's gonna get it." I close out the sale...and promptly leave!

Damn...all that trouble for this ULC? Is it THAT hard to find? But it was kinda worth the hassle! I wanted the PC version to keep for my collection. Sorry to the BB employee that I think was going to try and buy it after his shift ended, but you got too impatient. Probably didn't help that today was a payday. I kinda wish you had waited 30 minutes before bringing it out of the cabinet so I wouldn't have had to shell out the money for it. But it's so cool!

If anyone needs a Borderlands 2 ULC for PS3, I have someone I know that is willing to help a CAG out. Just PM.

Can't believe there was one in a retail store 3 weeks after release. Some ass clown probably returned it after he couldn't sell it for $300+. Poor Best Buy employee, but he shouldn't have A) Been hiding it and B) Brought it out so early. You should have walked by him on your way out and said "You mad bro?"

Bahahah...yeah I was thinking the same thing but in the end I think buying this right up from under him was bad enough. He was so close to getting his ULC!

That was cold-blooded...! But seriously, never leave a hot-ticket item you're buying unattended in a retail store, especially if you just leave it out in the open and expect people to leave it alone. Retail employees should know this better than anyone. Congrats on your ULC; it is that hard to find!

I don't care if that is a limited edition or not, that was an ASSHOLE move!!

Yeah, just as bad as asshole employees hiding products so only they can buy them.

Darwinism - survival of the fittest; it's a dog eat dog world out there.

Customers do the same thing, especially on Target clearance items, haha.

Speaking of Target clearance I pulled out a AC guide that was hiding behind...well everything else. It was the ONLY good deal on anything there and it got me thinking, I should really look behind the boxes for now on.

As for the BL2 loot box I pre ordered the first day they were available but its nice to read the stories of people who manage to get one now.

I really want on a loot chest... ended up settling for deluxe vault hunters edition on amazon for $69.99 on their warehouse deals. I'm not going to give up on the loot chest just yet though

I was one of the lucky few who was able to snag a copy post launch. When they originally announced the Loot Chest I figured I would be able to preorder it in a week or so and didn't think much of it. Then when retailers started to run out I realized I missed my chance. I was one of those that placed an order at buy.com thinking I was safe but when I got that cancellation notice near launch I was a bit bummed.

I would randomly check this thread and I think during launch day some people said frys.com had some in stock. I went to the website and was able to purchase one. I was about to purchase a second one and then it went OoS while it was in my cart, haha. After receiving the Loot Chest I was on the fence about selling it since I already had a copy of Borderlands 2 (from the gearbox panel from PAX 2011). In the end I decided to keep it and I am glad I did. It looks nice next to all my gaming stuff and I put some of my games that I am currently playing in there.

I figured I would find them after launch, but the GS in the area wouldn't honor the 48 hold rule. I did get 2 from amazon warehouse for under retail that both happened to be sealed, so I am happy.

Yes, I honestly thought it was an A-hole move for a minute...but then I began to think, how long was this guy holding this thing in hiding? And with a couple other guys in the circle in on it as well? Stalking me around the store? I wanted it, it was in a retail store, it was sitting out on the retail counter, I didn't do anything out of the store's policy to pick it up (like say I went into their back room), it is considered for sale. It rang up at the register for sale. If it rang up "Do not sell" or "Hold" I easily would have let it go.

Finally got my loot box from Amazon.de! Took forever, but ever so worth it! Most the material is in English but the stuff that is German makes it cooler!

Here's some pics:

Out of curiosity, if one of the employees following you around the store had said something to the effect that it was theirs, what would your response have been?
