irrational merchandise

Hi

So, I'm coming to Boston in mid-July (all the way from Australia).

I'm just wondering if I can do the tourist thing and go buy some Irrational merchandise (like a life-sized big daddy doll or something)

Do you guys have a store or something out front?
If not, could you clue me in to where I can buy authentic stuff?

Also, if I turn up at your offices, will the guards shoo me away?
Or can I get someone to sign my copy of Bioshock?
(and I don't want the coffee guy either, I want someone important. Like Lead Programmer, or Director of Physics Programming and Donuts)

Cheers for any help or replies

We don't allow visitors to the office. Sorry.

We currently don't have merchandise, but are exploring it. Stay tuned.

IG should put the bioshock infinte goodiebag they handed out at gamescom with the pre-order, i believe that that would be very effective, i know i would pay double if that would be the case.
Or at least sell them on the web, not just the crow statue but the complete bag.
I think they can make a lot of money with that, just look at the Bioshock figures from NECA, i got them all and im probably not the only one.
I think it is not a smart move to make stuff exlusive like only hand it out at the conventions or like the ryan statue where there are only 200 of, i know that a lot more then 200 people would like an original andrew ryan statue and would pay good money for that and the same for the goodiebag. you can still use it at conventions because then its free and you can get your hand on stuff like that sooner but in the end just put in on a webshop.
Especially for the bioshock fans and collectors who like to have stuff like that, and the only option to get it now is to work in the game industries and get it at an convention or they have to search the internet and buy it from ebay for ridiculous prices, just shows how much money IG and 2K can make with that and not to forget the fans and the collectors they will satisfy cause that is a big part of people ending up buying bioshock games in the first place.
If it is for sale or someone know if it will be in the pre-order or something please let me know cause i to would almost kill for an andrew ryan statue and murder of crows statue and im even still looking for bioshock 1 stuff on the internet like the promotional t-shirts and even things like the simple syringe pen, fans just love stuff like that and collectors get crazy if they can't get there hand on stuff like that, if it was for sale i would easily pay 10$ for a single plastic pen.
Sorry for the big text but im just trying to make a change so maybe someday i to can get a statue for on my desk. btw i know my english my be a bit off because i speak dutch so dont mind that
Bioshock Rules!!

Could someone of IG tell me if there will be more opportunitys to get a infinite goodiebag with the crow bottle or an andrew statue like above.
I was really dissapointed that i missed gamescom cause its not far to go for me(holland) but i heard only press could get a goodiebag
So i like to know if they will be handing out more of them or if you can buy them and if you will come to or near holland someday like the first look event in amsterdam ( www.firstlookevent.nl )

if anyone wants an andew ryan, sander cohen or murder of crows statue then you must go to patchtogether.com and vote on it, if it gets enough votes then they will sell it in their shop, it says that they are not up for production to the public but lets try just incase

      I would love to have the Andrew Ryan, I can hear it now.

      Sit, would you kindly? Stand, would you kindly? Run! Stop! Turn. Was a man sent to kill, or a slave?
      Kill!
      A man chooses!
      A slave obeys!
      OBEEEEEEY!

      Hey guys,

      We're still exploring possibilities for merchandise, but there are no plans right now. As noted on the patchtogether.com website, those Irrational-related items are not being considered for production, so voting on them unfortunately won't have any effect. Sorry! If we end up with any official plans, you guys will definitely hear about it.

      nobody is saying that, offcourse he is not related to infinite because its a whole different story in a time period before rapture, we just want to own one, there is another section of the forum related to what people want to see in the pre-order, check it out!
