Whenever Gears of War III came out, I bought the Epic Edition to the game, as well as the Custom 360. Then, I went on a tear to try and snag up all of the characters that came with each limited edition. I even made sure to 100% Gears of War II for the custom name tag you can add to your profile. Of course, they all ended up being released with the season pass, but I had them anyways. Even played the beta to get the Thrashball Cole skin, which was difficult cause I suck at PvP. I think the only thing I never got all of was the weapon skins. Most of which, I found pretty useless.
Later I bought a replica of the Snub Pistol, as well as a Trashball Cole figurine.
