I want to see pictures of your Oddworld collection! I can't really help find you things like that but we have alot of other members around here who can.

ParaScrabTrav 11-22-2010 10:53 PM

I will get some pictures on here when I dig them up when my VHS and Necklace arrive, should be soon :)

Once my collection is big enough to my liking, and my Oddworld tattoos are finished, I plan to somehow get in contact with Lorne Lanning and show him, maybe he would like to send me something or sign something for me :)
(It would for my girlfriend and her gloomy bear collection, so who knows..)

Hmmm, a soft cover? They don't sell those from Ballistic anymore, you sure you didn't mean the limited edition?
Btw, then you can find those pictures I send you yourself if you got the books.
There are actually 4 versions of the art book, I have 3 myself, not wanting a paperback version :-)

The Stranger cards.... Well, they will be very hard to find, as it is everybodys collectors item I think :).

And don't forget the Christmas cards!

Mr. Gimmick 11-23-2010 08:34 AM

I can confirm all of those items you listed as unconfirmed as being legitamate items and have been for sale from time to time.

Also there is an oddworld bottle / Can opener ?, Oddworld whoopee cusion, and probably something else but I cant think of it at the moment.

STM 11-23-2010 09:46 AM

I have two SW cards you can have them but for £50 each

Jango 11-23-2010 12:04 PM

I'd love to see some photos of your collection. :)

Crashpunk 11-23-2010 12:36 PM

I was going to bid for the Abe's Oddysee keychain on eBay but its expensive for what it is. (a tiny keychain with the original logo) plus I live in the UK so the shipping costs are through the roof.

@Mr. Gimmick Your quite insane buying all these merchandise. For starters all three types of OWI book and all guides! there just isn't need for it mate.

and there is a Abe's Exoddus whoopee cushion, It was on eBay recently.

I'm actually alot more obsessive collecting merchandise for other game series :D. I collect everything from the playstation era of gaming as well as some early Nintendo stuff from the 80s.

tantopat 11-23-2010 03:57 PM

I think there are soundtracks out as well, although I'm not sure where you'd find them. I know that Stranger's Wrath apparently had one released, and there was a soundtrack released for the Japanese version of Abe's Oddysee (Abe a Gogo). The Japanese game seems to be quite easy to get hold of if you wanted to add that to your collection, by the way. :)

Sekto Springs 11-23-2010 04:50 PM

Are you asking for a full list of merchandise or just what you think you can still get?
A full list would be pretty extensive considering all of the merchandise produced for their numerous one-time promotional stints. Not to mention, something will occasionally spring up on eBay that none of us even knew existed. :p

I can confirm that the boxers, patches, and all sorts of cardboard promotional cut-outs were made, along with trading cards, t-shirts, and candy. Whether or not you're going to find any surviving today is a different story. I haven't seen anything on eBay in some time, and whatever does crop up was usually won by a certain member with a seemingly bottomless bank account.

Good luck though! And remember, if you find any merchandise you already own for sale, be sure to post about it in the Buy List thread so someone else can grab it. :)

ParaScrabTrav 11-23-2010 07:21 PM

Wow, I got a big list then..
Does anyone know of any websites where I could post items that I am trying to buy? Could help me abit..

And as for those 2 SW cards, I could offer you $50 AU each for them.

SW's soundtrack is available from Michael Bross' website and (strangely, even cheaper) in limited edition from another site. A search on the forums will give you the URLs.

Abe-A-Gogo was available as a download from the old oddworld.com site. Hopefully they'll put that back up again soon.

Not available from Michael's site any more, at least not for the time being. The Buy List will help you here.

Only the first few tracks were available from Oddworld.com. The full album is available on TOL.

Is this official?

EDIT: No; it's not. OWI should sue their arses. Then they'll have their long sought-for funding.

I love collectors!
 
That's a pretty great collection you have going there. I've been thinking on getting multiple copies of the art book as well, because i'm always too nervous to go through my Limited edition for fear of spilling something on it. I haven't collected anything in many years, but here are some of my goodies:

- Resin Statue (The good one from muckle mannequins, which i love despite being unlicensed)
- Stranger's Wrath trading card set
- Stranger's Wrath pre-order DVD
- Stranger's Wrath game signed by Lorne Lanning
- OI Patch
- OI Pin
- OI Stickers
- 4 Foam Board Promotional cutouts (Abe, Munch, Bigbro, Lulu)
- 3 Oddworld Tattoos (Scrab, Paramite, Mudokon Skeleton)
- Leatherbound Art Book (#160)
- 2 Mudokon Emotion Tshirts (Happy, Dead)
- A letter of thanks from "Alf" promising a free copy of every future OI title (I got my signed SW out of it, but wasn't much use after that :p)
- 4 Abe's Exoddus Movie Posters
- A bizarre, full size german Oddysee poster that shows all of the creatures and some concept art.
- 3 OI Christmas Cards

There might be more, but that's all that i can think of off the top of my head. If it helps at all, i did purchase my statue directly from Muckle Mannequins before the "cease and desist" order from OI (They were only $40 at the time!). I obviously ordered the Artbook from Ballistic, and the promotional cutouts came from working at a Game Store during the release of Munch. Everything else (except for the tattoos) came directly from OI. They were one of the most Fan appreciative companies I have ever encountered.

I don't collect anymore, but I WOULD buy the boxers if i ever came across them. I use to look at that GT Store catalog and debate whether to order anything, and I kick myself everyday now for not just ordering ALL OF IT when i had the chance.

toxicallpro 11-24-2010 07:58 AM

I also still have the original box/packaging for the resin statue, which i have NEVER seen anywhere else. Has anyone else seen one?

Mr. Gimmick 11-24-2010 09:19 AM

If you ever get sick of that statue LMK ;)

Jordan 11-24-2010 09:19 AM

I don't like looking at those lists. Makes me green.

Chubfish 11-24-2010 09:46 AM

Makes me want pictures.

toxicallpro 11-24-2010 11:46 AM

PICS ATTACHED: Here are a couple pictures of the cutouts and the statue box. You can see from the box why I never would have questioned the validity of the statue. It has the OWI Logo, the GT logo, and seems pretty legit. It was YEARS later that i found out they had to stop making them for licensing reasons, and honestly, i was pretty excited about it. It just meant that there would be less of these awesome statues around, which made it that much more valuable to me. The cutouts are each about 2 feet tall, and i haven't seen those anywhere either.

Valuable it is! I personally would pay 10 times the original $40 price if I could find one!
