Ok...so I am crazy about this FALLOUT3 game. It just....owns my free time, and I often find myself wondering why the company behind it hasn't capitalized on the merchandise they could be selling.
I mean, for you fans of the game out there....how many of you would LOVE to get your hands on some real life Nuka-Cola? Or maybe a set of bobbleheads? A real Vault 101 jumpsuit? A Fawkes statue?
There are SOOO many items from the game that they could sell as collectibles....so what's the deal?

I could go for some Nuka-Cola Quantum myself.

 Submitted for Photoshoppery, if anyone has the skills. I mean, this stuff basically WAS Quantum. Bring it back, slap a new label on it, and I GUARANTEE you'd sell oodles of it. Oodles. |

With all due respect, good sir Rorschach, screw Nuka-Cola. Nozz-a-La Cola from The Dark Tower series is the fictional drink I want to see gracing my store shelves.

I mean, I've seen a DUFF beer can-based energy drink at Spencer's gifts....I've seen Super Mario Bros. 1UP energy drinks....granted, those are far more popular and well known franchises to merchandise from. But still....FALLOUT3 just has literally it's own WORLD of products that they could crank out for sale in comic, specialty, and hobby shops nationwide. And speaking of comics.... An official, one shot GROGNAK the Barbarian wouldn't be too shabby, either. |

EDIT: Sorry for the double post, but I did a quick websearch, and found out that the game company did indeed put out some real life Nuka-Cola. It came in the little Vault-Tec lunchpail you see there, and was given out to the first 100 Journalists at the official release part for FALLOUT3. But I still want them to mass produce the damn stuff!  |

But if you drink too many you'd need to have some Rad-Away.
But you would get a few caps to buy Stimpaks.

A real Vault 101 jumpsuit? No, but I would like one for Vault 13! |

Bringing it back as Quantum would be awesome. But I wouldn't mind them just bringing it back as Pespi Blue. That stuff was to die for. |

I too miss Pepsi Blue...
You know, I did a little eBay searching, and someone in Germany has a Pip-Boy3000 mock up for sale....and someone in the UK has a set of Enclave soldier action figures....and then ANOTHER person in the US is selling a Vault-Boy watch for $50.
So there ARE things out there....there just rarer than rare and a pain in the ass to find.

I inquired about it, and it seems that they sell it at Universal Studios Hollywood for about half the price this collector was selling it for. Universal Studios, here I come  |

I'd love a bottle of Nuke-Cola. A Squirrel on a stick would be better though  |
