•A new set of officially licensed Fallout bookends is available to preorder through Sideshow, carrying a price tag of $325.
The collectibles are part of the wave of merchandise tied to the long-running video game franchise. While markup on officially licensed products is common, this pricing places them among the more expensive items in their category — pricier than some hand-painted collectible figures and comparable to other Fallout replicas currently for sale.
To put the price into perspective, a semi-functional Pip-Boy replica from the IGN Store is available for $300, while Karanlık Horse recently launched what one reviewer called a cooler set of Fallout bookends for just $179.99.
The cost reflects both the licensing fee for collaborating with Bethesda and the physical construction of the product. Each bookend weighs four pounds and is “meticulously sculpted from polyresin,” then individually hand-painted to achieve the antique metal effects associated with the Fallout series.
Sideshow lists an estimated shipping window of November 2026 through January 2027. According to the company’s shipping policy, customers have 30 days to return the bookends if they are not satisfied once they receive their order.
The item targets collectors who regularly spend on such merchandise. As IGN writer Jacob Kienlen noted in reporting the story, he found it difficult to justify the price for himself but acknowledged that may reflect his own habits rather than those of the intended buyer base.
