Officially Licensed Fallout Bookends Are Up for Preorder for a Whopping $325

The Fallout series is one of the most popular video game franchises of all time. Naturally, that means there's a ton of Fallout merch.

Officially Licensed Fallout Bookends Are Up for Preorder for a Whopping $325

The Fallout video game franchise has gained immense popularity, leading to a wide array of official merchandise. Sideshow, a renowned company, has recently announced Fallout-themed bookends priced at a staggering $325 on their website. While hand-painted collectible figures often come with high price tags, this price point seems notably steep for something as simple as bookends.

For comparison, a semi-functional Pip-Boy replica from IGN Store is available for just $300, and a cooler set of Fallout bookends by Dark Horse can be had for $179.99. The high cost of these bookends can be attributed to the licensing fee paid to Bethesda, the intricate polyresin sculpting and hand-painting process, and their weight of four pounds each.

These meticulously crafted bookends are expected to go on sale for pre-order, with an anticipated shipping window between November 2026 and January 2027. Sideshow offers a 30-day return policy in case customers are unsatisfied with their purchase. The question remains: would someone be willing to spend $325 for Fallout bookends?

While the writer, a casual Fallout fan with limited disposable income, finds the price excessive, they acknowledge that others, particularly those who frequently spend on collectibles, might see value in such a product.
