If the constant stock shortages weren't evidence enough, Fallout 4's pip-boy collector's edition has been in incredibly high demand ever since it was revealed at E3 2015. The package, which comes with a wearable pip-boy casing that you could use to hold your smartphone, has been removed from sale following the news that its manufacturer simply can't make any more.
"We reached a point where we'd go back to the factories and they were like, 'guys, this is it, sorry. This is as long as we can run the lines and as many of them as we can make," Bethesda's Pete Hines told GameSpot. He goes on to say that the manufacturer was already at full stretch trying to keep up with the publisher's "insane" demand, and that every pip-boy in existence has been pre-ordered at this point - now that's impressive.
Needless to say, if you were waiting to snag your own pip-boy edition, you're probably out of luck. In any case, how much will these be going for on eBay, then? Place your bets in the comments section below.

"Every pip-boy in existence has been pre-ordered at this point"
Now that's crazy.
Oh man I wish I had pre-ordered one of these now!
I pre ordered day one. Muhahaha
day one for me as well. how couldnt you pre order day one ?!?!? lol
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi You have such an evil virtual laugh!
Preordered my pc version day one. I just couldn't get this game on console. I'm still playing fallout new vegas on pc because of the amazing and numerous mods for it. I also preordered the new fallout anthology that comes with the mini nuke. Comes with a spot for your fallout 4 game as well. Oh man I can't wait to get it all
I know the fallout mods are coming to xbox one eventually. Hopefully they will being them to ps4 as well one day so no one misses out. You really should see the kinds of things they've done with 3 and new vegas.its incredible.
@Gmork___ Right? When you can preorder at a place like Amazon with zero down and zero commitment, why wouldn't you preorder if it's something you might want?
I preordered my PS4 on the day of the announcement even though I was pretty sure I wasn't going to have the money by launch. Instead I saved up and paid down chunks, and had it paid off the September before release. Good call!
I also preordered the most expensive version of The Order, with the werewolf statue. Fortunately by the launch of the game I'd read enough to know it might not be worth it, and I canceled the week before it launched. No harm done, win/win.
@mitcHELLspawn BUT TROPHIES😱 lol. I went PS4 because I need to use my fancy console for something other than video streaming. I actually do like to get BethSoft trophies, somehow I find myself caring. And I will be streaming my gameplay after all (or at least saving it) cause that'll be hilarious. A new breed of let's plays.
OT: hell yes I watched E3 and ordered one asap, same with QuakeCon and the Anthology. 🎶Ya gotta be bad, ya gotta be bold, ya gotta be wiser..🎶
Preordered mine with Game because you got a couple of extras, also my phone is due for an upgrade so I can leave my old one in it permanently 😀
@mitcHELLspawn Bethesda has confirmed that mods will come to PS4... Eventually.
@charlesnarles Gabrielle? Lol.
Yeah, mods will eventually end up on PS4.
My Gamestop/Eb Games forgot to let us members know it was ready to be sold. Q_Q Waste of a membership. It's sold out in my region.
that's ok. I like purchasing chunks of plastic on Ebay for disgusting amounts of money.
