Do you buy game merchandise?

When you pre-order a game or sometimes if you buy a game you get some free stuff with it, often this is game merchandise and fun to get. But have you ever bought game merchandise or is this something you don't want to waste money on?


Game merchandise is cool?


Well that's an opinion, because some might think it's cool while others think it's lame. But if it would be for free then it wouldn't surprise me that more people would have game merchandise because if people would have to be honest then it's pretty cool. But not everything is interesting for everyone, for example swinging a lightsaber (the glow stick in the dark that makes the lightsaber noises) is probably cool for kids but as an adult you look absolutely ridiculous. Maybe you have no issues with that and you do it anyway, but the fact is that certain things are probably more aimed at a certain age group. One of the coolest merchandise items are probably statues or posters of your favourite characters from a game, for example Batman from the Arkham games or Geralt from the Witcher games. I don't think people are embarrassed of having that in their house, you might even give these statues and/or posters a special place in your house!


Why would you buy game merchandise?


Why not? If you like it and you want it then I don't see a reason why you shouldn't get it. But it makes sense that if you don't have enough money to get games and game merchandise that games will win in that decision. I guess money can be an issue and so a good reason why you don't get game merchandise because it can be quite expensive! Especially if you want something good, because getting a pen with Mario on it is probably not going to cost you a lot of money but getting a big statue with Bowser grabbing Princess Peach now that will be expensive! It's not a surprise that some people prefer to buy special editions of games to get game merchandise, I've done that several times with games. For example Fable III, Gears of War 3, Call of Duty Ghosts and Batman Arkham City. Sure these special editions are a bit more expensive but get you some nice extra game merchandise. If you don't have money for the special edition or just want to check out some game merchandise then keep an eye out for certain shops that have a lot of that around. Sometimes shops where you can buy games have game merchandise as well but there are also shops out there that specialize in game merchandise, I can definitely recommend checking that out sometime and maybe you find something you like.
