Poll: So I just preordered.. A freaking Portal Gun.

[ResonanceSD]

Frim a brick and mortar store, to boot, because online sold out faster than you could say "supermassive black hole"

Anyway two options. Do i keep it in mint condition? Or open that bad boy up as soon as I get it?

Okay... where did you get a portal gun... and where can I order one?

Check the NECA online page, they're releasing the names of a whole bunch of online stores this week. I got mine from a Gametraders store.

Hm... a portal gun. Think of the possibilities!

You sir, are a terrible person.

I say you build an exact scale replica of the test chamber where you first acquire the portal gun a put it on a stand in there.

Be careful with that thing man. Don't get any ideas like sending deadly lasers at my house via portals.

What about combustible lemons? Are those ok?

Primed to go off or not? Either way is fine, I just need to know if I should be ready to throw them at my neighbor's cat right away or if I can wait until later for that.

Forget the combustible lemons and Lasers, don't point that thing at the moon.
OT, where in Australia could you get that thing, I always thought that Aus would be left out of those sort of super limited collectors items. Guess I should lurk around some of the gaming stores in my city (>>)

Ok, let's call that infeasible. Anything else? =D

Put it in a trophy case like other's have been suggesting, followed by having a fake turret stand right next to it.

I think the case might be an idea, I think the turret might be a bit much.

With my very own Portal Gun, I'd go out dressed as the male version of Chell.

There's a what now?

Choll? Cello?

 

[WingedWalrus]

Aah Ive pre-ordered one too (or, more accurately, my significant other pre-ordered one for me cos he found it first). Hoping the pre-order doesnt fall through... Need a portal gun to complete my life in all its tragic nerdism x_x

That being said, if I do get my grubby paws on one, Im sooo not keeping it in mint condition. Gonna cosplay with it, damnit!! XD

I'm definitely in favour of mounting it in a 'break glass' container:

Aperture Science Hand Held Portal Device
Army of Mantis Men on the loose? Break glass.
You'll know when the test starts.

OK, this, but more of it.
