Fallout 3 promotional items

This page lists all giveaway items created to promote Fallout 3. They were either given away by Bethesda Softworks to journalists or available with special editions of the game.

Vault Boy bobblehead
At least two Vault Boy Bobbleheads were produced:


 * One version was included in the Collector's Edition of the game, and is modeled after the Bobblehead found in the game. This is the version seen to the right.


 * A second version was provided to members of the press at shows such as E3 and The Tokyo Game Show as a promotional item. This version is in a different pose and is larger than the more common version.

Vault-Tec lunchbox


The lunchbox is available as part of the Collector's Edition of the game. It was also sent out to journalists and the like by Bethesda.

Nuka-Cola bottle
This soft drink was being sent out to journalists during the early days of Fallout 3 promotional activities, as well as given out at E3 2008.

PIPBoy digital clock
This clock is available with Amazon.com's Survival Edition of Fallout 3.

The Pip-Boy Deluxe Chronometer functions solely as a digital clock, with no alarm functions. It uses 3 AA batteries, which were included, placed in the top. The dial to the left of the display can be moved up and down a bit and the STATS, ITEMS and DATA buttons are used to set the time. The Geiger counter works as a compass on this item.

It can be worn on the wrist, but it does not fasten securely and will open easily. It comes with a stand for display.

There are numerous complaints on the internet about clock being rather poorly made, and left button not working (I have this problem myself, and saw in at least 2 other reviews, I wonder if someone can confirm)

Nuka-Cola bottle opener
You get the opener if you preorder the game at Best Buy.

Vault Boy hand puppet
A reference to the official Fallout Penny Arcade Comic, this puppet was given out at Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) 2008.

Vault Boy T-shirt
This t-shirt is available if you preorder the game at Walmart.com.

Fallout 3 T-shirt
This T-shirt is often worn by members of the Fallout 3 development team. It was also sent out to journalists and the like by Bethesda.

Fallout 3 soundtrack CD
A CD featuring five songs from the soundtrack (three of them from Three Dog's broadcast at GNR) was made available to people who pre-ordered the game at GameStop.
