Amazon is going all-out in licensing and marketing merchandises promoting their upcoming Fallout television show (all the episodes will drop on April 12, 2024). Check out the new official trailer now (the trailer already got over 10 million views!).
The new trailer looks great, and I think the showrunners have played the game and understand what fans want to see on screen. I love seeing all the game lore and items in the trailer and cannot wait to watch the show. Of course, I will be reviewing it… if it’s bad, I will definitely let you know. Based on the trailer, it looks like it is on the right track for a good Fallout show.
Anyway, if you’re a longtime Fallout fan, with all these upcoming Fallout 33 Merchandises, there’s never been a better time to be alive! Unfortunately, that also means is that you’re definitely going to be broke.
Most of the products are available for pre-order now and shipping in April or May.
Below are some upcoming Fallout items. Pretty much all these releases, I will be buying or looking to buy.

PIP-BOY (Fallout TV Series)
bethesda.net
This is a $200 1:1 faithful replica of the Pip-Boy as seen in the Fallout TV series. It’s made from a mix of die-cast metal and injection moulded ABS … and the best part is that it has a functioning TFT LCD screen showing in-universe animations and is also a working timepiece with an in-universe alarm clock function!!! This is the one key feature that I wanted when I purchased my two Pip-Boy 2000 MK VI. I love my Pip-Boy 2000, but I have expressed that I would’ve loved a functioning screen.
The company making this is the Wand Company, who also made the Pip-Boy 2000, so I know it is a very high quality product, and I think is worth the $200 asking price… especially because it also comes with its own display stand (something that you had to buy separately for the Pip-Boy 2000).
Now for the bad news: the Pip-Boy TV Series won’t be ready to ship until November 2024. I’m going to wait a few months to check back on this product. I just hope it doesn’t sell out.
If I can’t get this new Pip-Boy, it’s not the end of the world, I am very happy with my two Pip-Boy 2000.

Fallout Vault 33 Hoodie

FALLOUT VAULT 33 HOODIE
ign.com
This Fallout - Official Vault 33 Hoodie Orientation Kit - Limited Edition is an official kit available exclusively from IGN (Internet Gaming Network). This kit comes with a hoodie, a pin, and a certificate of authenticity. The Pinfinity AR Pin was the thing that pushed me over to pre-order this item… plus, if ordered before March 18, you benefit with a $10 off the retail price.
With the $20 shipping, all in all, you’re looking to spend over $100 to own this.
While that price is not affordable, the way I see it, you’re probably never going to see this for sale anywhere else.

Fallout Gunnar Glasses

FALLOUT GUNNAR GLASSES
gunnar.com
I am seriously considering on buying these retro-future square Fallout Gunnar glasses. I am trying convince myself I need it for a Fallout Cosplay, and that the metal case is way cool. The $100 price barrier for a pair of glasses is what is stopping me from pulling the trigger, no pun intended for the Gunnar company.
Looking at other product-tie-in, such as Diablo IV glasses, the $100 price is the standard licensing product… otherwise, their normal glasses are typically $50.
There are three Fallout lens type, each have a variety of blue-light blocking intensity… so depending on your lens color preference, that is the only difference. They all come with a metal collectors case, a custom microfiber cloth, and a pouch, all with the Vault-Tech 33 logo.
The glasses will ship in early April, so I have a few weeks to decide if I need these glasses or not. (I will probably get them).

MCFARLANE FALLOUT
mcfarlane.com
As we previously predicted, these McFarlane Toys’ Fallout products are statues… similar to their Diablo IV series. I’m going to say that, based on looking at the images online, they’re not that desirable to me. Out of the four: Maximus (in Power Armor), The Ghoul, Lucy, and Vault Boy, I only want two of them: The Power Armor and Vault Boy. Maybe my opinion will change if I see them in person… for now, it’s really hard to tell if I will love these or not.
I did pre-order Maximus and waiting for Vault Boy to be available to pre-order. Lucy and The Ghoul, I am hoping to see it at Gamestop or some retailers and I will buy them that way…. Or wait until the release date (April 30th) to get them.
Otherwise, you can save $15 if you order the Amazon Exclusive 3-Pack for $60 for the three “posed figures”.
They are limited to 5.6k or 3.7k, so if they sell out, I guess I will save some money.

Fallout Design Lab Controller
|
FALLOUT DESIGN LAB
xboxdesignlab.xbox.com
These custom Xbox Design Lab Controllers can get very expensive. If you want metallic triggers, that’s an extra $10. If you want rubber grips, that’s extra… You can go all out and spend about $200 on a controller.
I didn’t go all-out, and just stuck to the base controller with the new custom Fallout body art ($15 extra). You pick all the colors, design your own custom controller… and making it uniquely yours, however ugly it is.
So, yes, I ordered the Fallout controller, even though I own about 10 Xbox Controllers already (including a wired Fallout Nuka Cola controller). These special Design Lab bodies are available for a limited time, I know this because I was on the fence about buying a previous custom controller… but never got around to it - and now that artwork is gone (and probably won’t be coming back).
The only downside to these Design Lab is that it can be very expensive. I spent $90, just doing the minimum opinions.

Ultra Pro Fallout Binder

ULTRA PRO FALLOUT BINDER
ultrapro.com
Now that you bought all those Magic the Gathering Fallout cards, where are you going to keep them? I’m looking at the Ultra Pro Fallout Binder, which promises to hold all 480+ Magic Cards. It retails for $30, and, unfortunately not available until April 2024… I am going to wait to see if it is in stock before I buy this.
Ultra Pro also makes a variety of other tie-in with the Magic the Gathering/Fallout cards, including several official playmats. The design that I want is the Fallout Playmat - Sol Ring - for Magic: The Gathering, Limited Edition Collectible Trading Tabletop. The Playmats are usually around $40.
There is numerous food-related Fallout tie-in that I won’t bother to mention (like coffee, Jones soda or Arizona Ice Tea), but once you consume them, they’re gone. Sure, you can save the wrapper or packaging, but it’s just not ideal for me. I also feel like they’re overpriced for what it is. For example the Jones drink is around $15 per bottle. That’s a $10 markup for a normal soda drink.
