In an email sent out to those who registered to get their broken Big Daddy fixed, 2K says that production of the figures took longer than expected and was the cause of the months and months of delays in the replacement program. But, good news is that "in order to speed things up, 2K Games is eliminating the step in which you are required to return the broken figurine". You read correctly, you'll be able to keep your already broken figurine AND get another not-so-broken one shipped to you. Nice move 2K, nice move. The email also confirms that, in the next two weeks, they'll be shipping out the replacement figurines and promised art book to those who signed up for the program before November 12th. 2K's update email can be read in its entirety after the break.
[Thanks, dubbalubagis]

BioShock Figurine Replacement Program Update
The BioShock figurine replacement program is nearing completion after some delays due to production of the replacement figurines. We appreciate your patience and in order to speed things up, 2K Games is eliminating the step in which you are required to return the broken figurine (we've figured you've waited long enough!).
In the next two weeks, we will begin shipping out a single package containing both the replacement figurine and the art book to customers who enrolled in the program by November 12th. There will be no return box or need to return the broken figurine to our attention.
Thanks for your support and interest in BioShock, and for your patience during the replacement figurine program.

#1 - It's people like you who make companies shy away from making good for the legitimately wronged customers who paid their money and got broken figures. Enough scammers help themselves, the next time they'll just tell people to glue it back on themselves.

The first post didn't seem like sarcasm to me... I'm guessing you're American, as your grasp of the term is pretty lacking. :D

@9 I'm not American, but your statement indicates that you're even more ignorant than the first guy!
here's some barbecue sauce because you're about to get flamed!

The tip of my drill is broken but I never followed up on it cause it seemed like a pain in the ass. Now that theyre not requesting the original broken figure Im wishing I would have signed up! Whatever, even with a broken tip, my big daddy still looks mean!
