I saw one sell for 200$ on ebay. They seem to be extremely rare I have only seen one in game and one on ebay.1 -
RianaTheBosmer✭✭✭Guess I need to take plenty of cash to NY Comic Con in October, lol. I love the pets.0 -
Dayel✭✭✭While I admit I would have liked the dog, would be marginal on the guar, why in the world would I want a scrib? I got fair rewards with the Imperial Edition, why should I begrudge it when others qualify for their rewards. Having a horse from the start practically free was the best reward of all.0 -

Honestly, I think it's because they didn't sell very many. Most exclusives sell out preview night, or first thing in the morning for the reserve stocks. Late on Saturday it looked like they had plenty still for sale. It probably didn't help that they had a hard to find booth at the end of the hall.I saw one sell for 200$ on ebay. They seem to be extremely rare I have only seen one in game and one on ebay.
I walked up to the booth next door thinking it was them. They had never heard of Symbiote Studios, and had no idea what the hell I was talking about. I showed them an image of the figure on my tablet and they pointed me to the left before one guy realized Symbiote was the booth to the right.
I took one look at the size of the figure, and decided there was no way it was worth $60 even with the pet code. Didn't even talk to them. I'm not even sure how these guys got an official pet code to begin with.

also the people that think everyone thinks the same way they do and everyone cares about the same things they do. So you don't care about pets therefor nobody cares about pets.driosketch wrote: »

yeah I saw how small it is. Its silly. I am sure they are scratching there heads wondering why they didnt sell well too.

✭Shame more people didn't get suckered into the toy. I got myself a pig (you get one on NA and one on EU servers too) thanks to a friendly fellow forum-goer. The scrib would be nice, but that toy is ugly as hell.
Anyway, those of you who want it can get it, for $200.Dear Sister, I do not spread rumors, I create them.1 -

Guess I missed it. I was so looking forward to hearing the same argument about why people shouldn't care about what is fun for them in games.smeeprocketnub19_ESO wrote: »Shame more people didn't get suckered into the toy.

Hopefully they offer the scrib somewhere else and call that a mistake. I wouldn't be surprised if only two people bought one of those dumb things.
I love Morrowind creatures (so much so that I bought two Guar plushies)
Maybe someday they will have a kwama queen mount
I jest

... and yet no-one is whining. Makes me wonder where all the faux outrage is from the people that kept saying it "wasn't about the dog but how Zenimax was treating their customers." when people were laughing about them whining. Sounds like their defense was pretty much what I expected, a bunch of bull.2 -

That's just how children are now. Seriously 90% of the "outrage" was "rebuttal" against people that stated they wanted a way to buy one.
I'll never understand the mindset. "I must argue against other peoples taste as they do not match my own, therefor, it is dumb." it is the essence of ignorance.
for example
can't even make a post that makes sense in context which leads me to believe there may be an issue with reading comprehension too. (shows he cares that we care, is dismissed, throws a tantrum, says he doesn't care)Edited by Laura on August 9, 2014 3:51PM1 -

✭This game... /facepalm... I love how I cant have these two pets now.. I live in Aus so for the guar I would of needed to pay $40 and I didnt even like the plush (postage was high) and for the scrib I would of needed a flight to San... lol..
Yawn!0 -
Oh come on! The kwama was the one pet I wanted! I had been looking forward to getting it since I saw there was going to be one.....I hope they put some out later that I can actually get. I'd pay $60 for the darn thing.2

Plenty of people are whining in game and there are posts popping up on here as well. It's just not the same outrage because people are realizing that their outrage is misplaced and they have no ground to stand on.☠ Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured? ☠

People who beta tested got the monkey so people on steam can never get that but I haven't heard steam players complain about that yet. The monkey is also annoying but you know whatever.
Actually, closed beta testers got nothing. Stress test weekends awarded it twice, for playing 30 minutes. I still wouldn't have minded a title

I think everything went completely over your head as usual. I guess you couldn't resist making a fool of yourself again though. Seems to be what you do.0 -

You forgot the pig , which would also ask for a trip and the dog , which you could never even get doesnt matter what you want or much money you have.
Well atleast we got give it to zen , they understand that if you are going to do something you know people will talk badly about and create you bad PR , then you might as well go all the way.
Even then i personally only consider the dog absurd myself , the others you could have gotten ... yes , maybe it was far too hard to be worth it , but it was possible. The dog it was not and thus it is the one must always remember any potential buyer of this game about :P.
By paying the sub you access to all the game "content" , problem is the definition of content is up to zen and anything they say that is not part of the deal , isnt part of the deal, even if it is part of the game code heh."Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

I agree the only one that is a true problem is the dog (and I don't care for dogs) just by the fact there is literally no possible way to get it.
The others are only a problem because there are none obtainable in game outside of one which is atrocious for a pay to play game.0 -
Actually, I found out that this figurine is also on sale online for $30. You can find it by going to the home page.1
