When I heard there was a voice recording from Joel “Caboose” Heyman up for grabs on eBay, I immediately began daydreaming about all the different things I could have him say in the one minute offered time span. Then I read the fine print which included the clause “must be tasteful” and all my hopes and dreams were dashed in a single instant. I am still planning on bidding though, not because the sound of his voice is enough to get the job done (it is) but rather all the proceeds from this auction, along with several other Halo-themed ones, are being donated to Child’s Play, a gamer-driven charity that works to improve the lives of sick children everywhere. If you want to score some sweet Halo swag, much of which is autographed by various industry-type people, check out the numerous bundles below!

Thats some sweet swag. I wish I had enough money to bid and win.
Also, some of those images need to be rotated

That would mess up the prettiness of the post though! If you click on the small images, it brings you to the original size and correctly rotated pictures. :)

You and your need to make everything look pretty and symmetrical. Also, for some reason I thought the Reach poster was upside down? In my defense, it does look like its hanging on a wall. And if that were the case, why would there be a carboard box on the ceiling??

Maybe we can work something out about Joel and having to be “tasteful”?

I figured it was only a matter of time before I saw this posted here. :)
Methinks a few of these bundles are going to start some bidding wars.
Posted by bs angel on October 29, 2009 at 10:15 pm
Of course! And I saw the items you donated. That was incredibly nice of you. :)

i wish i had the money needed to buy those signed posters for ODST and Reach, but something tells me that they will begin fetching well over 300$

I let the faceplaters know about the auctions.
Posted by bs angel on October 29, 2009 at 11:48 pm
That was kind of you. Thank you!
Posted by Marksman on October 30, 2009 at 11:33 pm
I wish I could just bid on the faceplate. It almost makes me want to go out, buy a faceplate, spray-paint it dark blue/black, and draw a big SuperIntendant logo on it (The S.I is my favourite character besides Mickey. Go Virgil, the space-turtle!).
But, I can’t paint, I don’t own spraypaint (that I know of), and I’d probably get mega-frustrated and throw it half-finished and half-wrecked at someone I know. Curse you, lack of artistic talent.

I was going to try my hand at painting a faceplate once. Then I learned you have to sand and prime it first and I said screw that! Now I just buy them instead. :)
Posted by Marksman on November 1, 2009 at 2:11 am
You have to sand it? That turns me off even more. They should sell them pre-sanded with kindergarten finger-painting templates to help you paint.

I know, right? I would totally buy a color by number one!
