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. Like any product tied to a specific IP, you can always expect some sort of markup on officially licensed products. However, these recently announced Fallout bookends are taking that to a whole new level with a price tag of $325 at Sideshow . While $325 isn't…
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.
